This n that

Well its a new year, yay! And with it comes resolutions…so being that I’m not one for making resolutions that I can’t keep, I decided to not make any this year. However there are some things I’d like to do more this year, one of those being to blog more. So here’s a little update on me.
I am..
Off vacation and getting back to work

Ok well now that thats out of the way someone asked me the other day what my top 10 makeup tips were, not that I’m any kind of expert, but it was flattering to say the least. So I thought I would share them here with my female blog readers, and to add a spin off of this, I’m thinking about making a weekly “beauty tips” posts. (I know I threw this idea around before, but with the new year here and resolutions being enacted, maybe I’ll actually get to it.)
So here’s the Top 10.
1. Light powder blue eye shadow is usually always a bad idea so use with extreme caution.
2. Don’t use a lip liner in the same shade of that cherry lipstick your wearing, the lipstick will fade leaving you with a nice red lip liner ring around your mouth, instead line your lips with a neutral liner so that way when the lipstick fades it won’t be so obvious.
3. If you want to make black eyeliner last longer and not smudge all under your eyes ,use a thin brush and go over the liner with a black powder shadow it helps dry it a bit and keeps it from smudging as much.
4. If you have a huge pimple and your having no luck covering it up here’s what you do. Wash your hands and take a tiny bit of chapstick on your finger and dab it on the pimple. Then take a dab of concealer either on your finger or on a brush and dab it on till its covered. See usually the pimple is dry which makes the concealer not really work so when you put the chapstick on first the concealer has something to adhere to.
5. Don’t ever put a color directly on your brow bone, beige, shimmery white and some pale pinks and golds are fine but anything other then that and it can look very 80ish.
6. To avoid that white face in pictures look that can come from certain foundations take a tiny bit of moisturizer and blend it along your jawline, this helps there not be such a noticeable difference between your face and your neck. Another tip on this one(trust me I have this problem a lot) is to take whatever pressed or loose powder you use on your face and blend some down to your neck.
7. If you don’t have time for mascara don’t put on eyeshadow especially if you have light eyelashes it ends up just look odd and can make your eyes look smaller. Instead line your eyes with a brown or black pencil to give your eyes a bit of definition.
8. Always wear sunscreen
9. Don’t apply blush in the hollows of your cheeks, only apply blush where you would naturally blush(I.E. the apples of your cheeks) for contouring of your face and to make your cheekbones stand out more use a matte bronzer in the hollows of your cheeks, down your nose and around your hairline and chin.
10. Take care of your skin, its the only skin you’ve got so make sure you keep it moisturized and clean as much as possible, never sleep with foundation on!
Kay well thats my two sense. If you have any questions or something you’d like to see me review let me know.
