Tip: Don't go crazy filling in your eyebrows. Brow powder and eyeshadow can work better at making brows look more natural.

@Harriettfraoq what is this?

Apply eyeshadow, lipstick and anything else you want. The great thing about makeup is it has NO RULES. Go wild and crazy with it!

Step Ten: Use an EYELASH curler for maximum volume. Follow by applying mascara and eyeliner to your lash lines for a more dramatic look.

Step Nine: Use blush to add a bit of color to your face. Don't put blusher onto apples of cheeks (you'll look like a ragdoll) put it under!

Step Eight: Highlight and contour. Contour cheekbones, sides of nose, jawline and sides of forehead. Highlight cheeks, chin and nose bridge.

Step Seven: Set your makeup with powder OR setting spray. This locks in your foundation, controls oil and makes makeup last much longer.

Step Six: (optional) Use concealer. Green based concealer is best for red patches and zits. Yellow based for dark circles.

Step Five: Foundation or base. Don't cake it on. You want people to say "Great skin!" instead of "Great Foundation."

Step Four: Prime your face for foundation, or tinted moisturizer with a primer. Primers make your foundation last longer and look better.

Step Two: Use a toner. There are different types of toners, so choose best for your skin. Check reviews on each product if you aren't sure.

Tip: Use a powder puff to press on powder and lock in your foundation THAN use a powder brush to knock off excess powder. Flawless!

[Makeup Gal @TheMakeupGal]

NEVER USE A POWDER BRUSH TO APPLY POWDER!!!!! A powder brush is actually suppose to be used to knock off excess powder. Remember this gals!

[Makeup Gal @TheMakeupGal]

Tip: Use a blue based red lipstick to trick others into thinking your teeth are whiter than they actually are.
