EYE SHADOW FOR HAIR

If you have thinning or missing hair use matching eyeshadow color and a stiff slanted brow brush to apply color to scalp. It stops light from reflecting off, which makes the hair appear thicker.

MAKEUP NO! NO!

Don't use any reddish to purplish shades around the eye ( shadow, pencils, etc. ). Makes you look old, sick or tired!

  1. Foundation... a must!

  2. Powdered finish

NATURAL LIPS

No matter what color lipstick you use... always outline the mouth with a nude lip pencil. It prevents bleeding and gives the lips a strong shape.

HOW TO KEEP YOUR MAKEUP LOOKING PERFECT ALL DAY LONG

Start by using a skin primer, this fills and is smooth as velvet.

Next use a makeup foundation that is formulated for your skin
(Example:if your oily use a waterbase,or if your skin needs help get one with coverage, etc.)

And the final real key to keeping things in place is powder. Use pressed or loose with a big fluffy brush to apply a shade in a close match to your skin. Not only does it lock base and concealer in place, but apply it across your eyes and lips to seal eyeshadow and lipstick/liner , too!

 

TRICK OF THE TRADE - HOW TO KEEP YOUR LIPSTICK ON!

Make your own lipstick primer by ALWAYS applying foundation plus powder first...before following with lip pencil, lip color topped with a shine of gloss in the center of the lower lip.
