If you think you know everything there is to make up, think again! Is your technique really giving you the best possible results? In this Article we offer up some simple pointers to make sure we're using everything from concealer to bronzer to mascara right.

Some Tricks could change your make up routine for good!

MAKEUP

Concealer

Never put concealer or foundation on your eyelids as a base, it will cause your eye makeup to crease.

Foundation

Use a foundation brush to apply foundation to the entirety of your face, blending into your neck and earlobes if necessary.

Keep in mind that your foundation should be the same color as your natural skin tone, not much darker or lighter.

Highlighter

With your foundation completed, it is likely that your face now looks contour-less and flat because of the uniform color. In order to provide some depth, you’ll need to create the illusion of highlights and shadows.

Eye-shadow

There are many ways to apply eyeshadow, although the most basic and classic look is to apply a single color over the entirety of your eyelid.

Eyeliner

Create a dashed or dotted line across your lash line, and then connect the dots to create a full, continuous line. For a smudgy look, use an eyeliner pencil, or create a sleek and smooth look by using cream or liquid eyeliner.

 Mascara

You don't want to do quick soft motions when you apply mascara. Instead, jam the wand into the root of the lash and do zigzag motions as you go up.

Lipstick

Apply lip balm, primer, or sealer. This will help make all lip products applied last longer and much more vibrant.

With the completion of your lips makeup, your look is finished! Give yourself a once-over to make sure there aren’t any smudges or loose eyeshadow that needs to be removed with a fluffy brush.
