This document provides makeup tips and tricks organized by different makeup categories. It includes guidelines for how much time to spend on makeup for different occasions, as well as tips for foundation, blush, powder, eyeshadow, mascara, and lips. Some key tips include selecting a blush shade based on one's natural cheek color, applying eyeshadow shades that provide contrast to one's eye color, and mixing lipstick and gloss shades to create custom lip colors.
4. FOUNDATION
SEASONAL UPDATE Don’t wear the same
foundation with a summer tan as you would in
the winter.
THE BLEND TREND Be sure to double-check
your neck when applying foundation.
5. 1. Select a blush based on
the color your skin turns
when you pinch your
cheeks. Apply your
foundation and powder as
usual.
2. Smile—see the apples of
your cheeks? That's your
target! Using your blush
brush, apply in a circular
motion to rounded cheeks.
Blend up and outward
toward temples until no
hard lines are left.
BLUSH
6. Make It Last: Keep
powder makeup out
of the bathroom. The
moisture and
humidity can lead to
clumping and caking.
POWDER
7. SHADOW
Matching your eye shadow to your
eye color sounds like a good
idea, but it doesn't work like you’d
think. Eye color can get lost and
muted when put next to a similar
shade. Go for contrast instead.
• Dark eyes look good in
grays, blues, purples, and greens.
• Light eyes look good in
brown, taupe, and bronze shades
8. MASCARA
• Use less mascara
on lower lashes than
on top lashes. Or
skip the mascara on
lower lashes for a
more casual look.
• If your mascara
smells funny or is
more than six
months old, it’s time
to toss it.
9. Double your lip color
selection by mixing
multiple shades of
lipsticks and glosses to
create your own custom
colors.
For example, adding a
bright pink lipgloss on
top of deep red
lipstick can
dimensionalize lips and
make them look fuller.
