Foundation

• Apply foundation 10 min. after moisturizer. If you don’t allow the moisturizer to absorb into the skin, your foundation will wear off in a matter of hours
• ALWAYS use a powder to set the foundation. Take your powder compact with you to do touch ups throughout the day.
• Even if you don’t wear foundation, don’t skip this step. A flawless face will look perfect in pictures.
• If you’re not sure what shade foundation you are, go with one shade lighter than you think. Use a powder to darken and contour the face. Powder will wear off, foundation shouldn’t. By using a lighter foundation and a darker powder, you’ll avoid the blotchy look when the make up starts to wear off.

Eyes

• You need to give a base coat of foundation and powder for the eye makeup to adhere to. This will double the staying power of your eyeshadow.
• Use water proof eye make up
• Liquid eye liner has 4 times the staying power than pencil eye liners.

Lips

• By applying foundation before lip liner and lipstick, you will achieve a longer, lasting coverage
• Use a lip liner to keep your lipstick in place.
• After applying foundation and liner to lips, dust with loose powder, then apply lipstick.
