Tips and Tricks – Foundation

Here’s a tip for your foundation, for any occasion. Actually- it’s two in one!

The first one is this- when you put your foundation on before you put your make up on, include your eyelids and your lips. It provides a perfect base coat for eyeshadow and will make your lipstick and eyeshadow last a little longer.
And then, you know how sometimes you see a woman wearing foundation and it quite literally ends at her jaw line? I was always taught that that was a no-no, and that you should blend it down into your neck as well.
I’ve taken it a little further. If I am wearing something with a lovely neckline, I will go so far as to wear foundation over my cleavage as well. It hides freckles, sun burn, stretch marks and veins- if like me your cleavage is milk-white :)
The foundation will rub off on the inside of your clothes a little so you’ll need to remember that, but as long as no-one else can see it that doesn’t worry me.

Tips And Tricks – Make Up

I know there are a lot of women who do not wear make up except on special occasions- but I love mine and I wear it every day!

I do make up occasionally for brides or for photoshoots and its so much fun- so for those of you who do wear make up, I thought I’d post some little tips and tricks I have learned…

How many times have you bought a shade of eyeshadow that looks simply spectacular in the compact, but nowhere near as gawjiss and divine on your eyelid?

What you do is dampen your applicator brush or sponge slightly and then apply!
Not only will it last a little longer on your lid- but it’ll look a lot more like it does in the compact!
