Note: When you add a new tip, please make sure that they go to correct section by looking at existing sections.

Base

Always apply your base or foundation to clean, moisturized skin. Remove all traces of make-up by using make-up remover or, better yet, wash your face thoroughly before putting on your base.
Cover lines, wrinkles, spots and other blemishes with a good, creamy concealer.
Apply concealer in a dabbing motion with your ring finger and build up the pigments in layers, for a natural finish.

Smile - so you can catch the apples of your cheek.
Start with a light dusting and build up the color. If you make a mistake, you can always tone it down with a dab of foundation.
Choose a blusher that will do over time for you. Some contain vitamins or anti-ageing ingredients.

Start-off with a neutral base color over the whole lid.
Add a little stronger color to the middle of the eyelid.
Using a darker color, shade a banana shape round the lighter area, following the socket line.
Blend carefully, dusting away any pigment that falls beneath the eye.
For a more glamorous eye, use a flat brush to highlight the outer corner, keeping close to the lashline. Use your darkest eye shadow, or a cake liner.

Lip liner can give you a perfectly-shaped mouth, plump up your lips and make them look more sensual. Always start at the outer corners and steady your hand against your face.
For a natural look, choose a shade which almost matches your lips. Keeping the pencil soft, follow the line of your lips.

Apply lipstick with a brush for a longer-lasting finish and a fuller mouth.
Highlight the middle of each lip for a sexy look. Follow your natural lip line to highlight your mouth.

All perfect eyelashes start with an eyelash curler. Hold on for a few seconds, for instant curled, lengthened lashes.
Apply mascara to freshly-curled lashes. Don’t ‘pump’ the mascara in the tube as it will dry it out, instead, apply in feathery strokes to make sure all lashes are coated.
Try holding a mirror under your chin and looking downwards into it, so you can see what you’re doing.
Add an extra coat at the outer corners for doe eyes.
Gently pulling your eyelid out at the corner will make it easier to apply.
Use the end of the brush to get all the little lashes in the corners.
If you make a mistake, gently roll a cotton bud over the blob to remove it.

There’s nothing like a stroke of subtle shimmer, to capture the light and brighten your skin.
Dab a highlighter on the cheekbones and a little at the temples.
… DONE!...
