FACE;;

Your face is the canvas to what you want your make up to look like. Make sure you moisturize before putting on make up.

Your first step would be concealer. All you really need is a small dab under your eyes to erase bags and dark circles. If you have zits, don't put concealer on it. It dries them out and is too heavy, clogging your pores. Whenever I break out, I use a light powder.

Next step, foundation or tinted moisturizer. Foundation should only go in the T-Zone (forehead, nose, chin) and around the edge of your face and on your jaw line because a lot of formulas clog your pores. Tinted moisturizer can go anywhere. I would suggest sticking to the same area but if it's making your cheeks look washed out use there also.

Third, add a touch of blush to your cheeks. Make sure you notice it but it isn't too clownish. *NOT to use if you are wearing pink shadow; if you do be very light with it*

EYES;;

The first step with your eyes is a sheer cream shadow. I use mark. i-sheer in merigue. It adds shimmer but doesn't over power my eye. Cream shadow makes the powder stick and not crease.

After words add the powder shadow. I suggest using a tone that matches or is close to one of the hues in your outfit.

Next, use an eyeliner to line your top lashes. I suggest doing this in two steps. Go from the outer corner to the middle and the inner corner to the middle. Line only half way across your bottom lash line.

Last step, mascara. I personally use clear and black mascara. The clear mascara first to seperate lashes and extend them. After put on a coat of black to add color and even more length. Apply a second coat of clear to seperate again.

MOUTH;;;

Start with lip balm. This will keep your lips moisturized. Next add your gloss. Make sure it is applied early enough in your routine that there is still shine but it isn't sticky (in case of wind). I usually apply before putting on mascara.
