Tips and DIYs for Girls

Makeup Tips!

Here are makeup tips! I will give tips for each item this time.(blush, eye liner, etc) Even though I like never wear makeup, I somehow know a decent amount of things. I'm not an expert but I know these will work and are important. I'm not telling you how to put on makeup, just suggesting. Do your makeup in whatever way makes you feel best.

Foundation:

Make sure you blend it all evenly and apply some to your neck to make it all even. 

Test it before buying, test it on your neck or jawline to make sure its the right skin tone.

Clean your brush/beauty blender throughly so that it will work properly.

Use the 'baking' technique to make your foundation/concealer stay put and not crease. 

Blush:

As I said in my first chapter, if you don't know where to put blush, smile and apply on your cheekbones, and the apples of your cheeks, blending it away to the outside. Don't put too much blush or you'll look like a China doll. Also don't apply it right in the middle of your cheeks because it will usually look very unnatural. I love blush sticks/cream blush because they leave a natural tint on your cheeks!

If you're not allowed to wear makeup, pinch your cheeks lightly to give you some color. And yes, I know the color won't stay too long.

Contour:

Find a cool toned brown that's only a few shades darker than your skin, any darker and it may look dirty. 

If you don't know where to contour, brush from your ear, halfway to the corner of your mouth and that is where the pigment should be. Or, more simply, roll a brush over your cheekbones and see where it rolls into. 

Swipe inwards to diffuse the color more naturally

Lipstick:

I don't know much about lipstick but the ones I do know will work.

If you're darker skinned, I think a purply color looks good. If you're pale, a cool toned red lipstick might look good...or a soft pink, but not too strong. I recommend not wearing lipstick everyday especially if youre less than 16 just because I personally think it makes younger girls look a little mature and light, glossier shades seem to enhance their youthfulness. 

If you want to slightly overdraw your lips, apply a thin layer of foundation/concealer on your lips or a skin colored lipstick first and then apply lipstick normally so that the over lined area looks more natural.

However, a great substitute for everyday use is a lip balm with color tint. It will give your lips a soft color, not too bright and..bonus, will moisturize your lips! Win, win!

Eye-shadow:

Don't be too dramatic with eye-shadow if you're younger than 16-18. (as explained above)

If you apply a darker color in your crease, it will give your eyes a lot more depth. Also, applying more in the outer portion of your eyelid (the area above the end of your eye) will give it more length and make your eyes look wider.

Soft browns look pretty or light pinks. Look up colors that compliment your eye color to make your eyes stand out more.

Many people say blue eye shadow is what makes blue eyes stand out more.. well, that's not always right. This could actually make your eyes look duller because the eye-shadow is a truer, more vibrant blue. In some cases, if you might find that it brings out your eyes more, keep doing it! If you have no idea what color to use, choose one that is on the opposite side of the color wheel. Blue eyes are beautiful with orange-y golds.

Eyeliner:

If you apply it fully top and bottom it may make your eyes look smaller. Younger people shouldn't do too much of a winged look. Just simple strokes will make you even prettier. There's no need for thick lines. If you're going to a party try a pop of different colors.

Similar to eyeshadow, applying eyeliner thicker on the end of each eye will elongate and widen your eyes, which is usually very flattering. 

Important! Make sure you don't poke your eye when lining the waterline and tight line!

Mascara:

If you have thick lashes there's really no need. But if your lashes are long and thin, get a thickening mascara. Make sure to let each coat dry before applying another.

On some light blondes, black mascara looks funny. So I suggest getting your lashes dyed a darker color than your hair that will suit you better, or a brown mascara.

Then purchase a clear mascara.

I'm done! Did I do good?
