1.
Wait at least 5 minutes before you apply foundation. The majority of people who wear foundation start off by putting lotion on their face. Putting lotion on your face helps moisturize and prevents dryness. Before you apply your foundation, wait at least five minutes before applying foundation. If you apply foundation too early, chances are, your foundation will look 'cakey' instead of the natural effect you want.
2. Change out your mascara every 3 months. Mascara containers look tiny but in reality, there's a lot in it! Even if you think your mascara can last you a year, it's better to switch it up every 3 months. The main reason you should switch it out is because of the bacteria that grows in it. The wand can also get 'goopy' and will make your mascara clumpy.
3. When wearing eye shadow, primer will be your best friend. I've been in your shoes where reapplying makeup can become a hassle. You simply don't have the time to do it. Purchase a primer and apply it on your eyes before you put on eye shadow. Primer will help seal in the eye shadow, allowing it to stay on longer.
4.
Use two different types of eyeliner at the same time. Have you ever had an eyeliner smudge or has your eyeliner ever eventually rubbed off? It's happened to me before. Apply pencil eyeliner to your top lids and afterward, use liquid eyeliner to go over the pencil eyeliner. It'll have a cleaner effect and the liquid eyeliner will hold in the pencil eyeliner.
5. Lip conditioner Throw out the chapstick and grab a lip conditioner. Chapstick only makes your lips more chapped and causes you to reapply multiple times a day. Using a lip conditioner not only is healthier for your lips but they will also soften your lips and allow you to apply no more than twice a day.
6. Get rid of the flaky lips. Take a soft toothbrush, preferably a child's toothbrush and brush them over your lips. These will even out the skin on your lips so when you apply lipstick, they won't come out crecked of flacky.

7.
Think of the up and down motion. To make sure that your blush or bronzer is getting spread evenly, take your brush and make a sweeping motion going up and down. Mainly people use the circular motion which doesn't evenly distribute the blush or foundation.
8.
Don't be afraid to use tape. Tape is used more than putting a piece of paper back together! You can tape portions of your eye if you're looking to use multiple eye shadows. They can be used to align your eyebrows when plucking and they make applying eyeliner evenly easier.
9. Tired of the studs and metal? Go for the diamond and glitter. You can dress up and accessorize your makeup just like you can with your outfit. Adding glitter to your eye shadow or diamonds to your eyelashes can instantly 'POP' your eyes out. Anything shiny won't go unnoticed!
10. Be safe, be happy and be healthy! Cleaning your makeup brushes is extremely important. They should be cared for carefully and switched out when needed. Let your face breathe at night so before you get your beauty sleep, make sure to remove makeup! Leaving makeup on while you sleep with cause bacteria to grow and can irritate your skin. Never share makeup tools unless they are cleaned beforehand. By sharing tools, you're also spreading germs!
