I am notoriously clueless when it comes to makeup. Really. I have no idea what I’m doing. My first lipstick in middle school was very rose & very shimmery, my hair was uncontrollable. Sometimes the tooth fairy would bring me Clinque samples in a gesture of goodwill, but that wasn’t enough to save me. It’s been a long process…but I think I’m {finally} starting to get the hang of it.
My top 5 tips for looking undeniably stunning. Ready? Go.
- Clean your makeup brushes. You can pay money for brush cleaner, or you can use baby shampoo. Either way, it’s worth it.
- Set the foundation and keep it in place! 1. Eye primer. I just use the Sephora brand, but it has made all of the difference, especially with eyeliner {which makes me feel fancy}. Raccoon eyes be gone! {I have dark undereye circles in general, and the smearing eyeliner/mascara only exacerbated the issue.} 2. Finishing spray…instrumental in avoiding reapplication.
- If you’re like me, get your makeup professionally done at least once & watch what they’re doing. I’m always honest and tell the makeup artists at MAC that I have no idea what’s up and they are, without fail, extremely helpful.
- For curly haired girls: do NOT use a towel to dry your hair. It will suck out all the moisture. Use a t-shirt instead. I use an ex-boyfriend’s because they’re bigger than mine. Paper towels also work wonders, but they’re the less eco-conscious choice.
- Drink water. It’s obvious, but it’s the secret to glowing skin.
