For the face 1. Use a cleanser and a moisturizer appropriate for your type of skin. -Oily skin needs to moisturize too!

 2. When applying foundation is best to use your fingers as brushes accumulate a lot of bacteria if you do not clean them often.  3. Use concealer if you need it. Yellow to hide under-eye circles, green to cancel out redness, purple for yellow bruises or yellow-colored skin. Use a color wheel to know which color will cover your flaw.

 4. Set the foundation and concealer with loose powder and a powder blush or Kabuki brush.  5. Choose your favorite blush or bronzer whether it is powder or cream.

For the eyes  1. Prime your lids with a base to set the eyeshadow and make the colors pop.  2. Choose your colors and be creative! This is the fun part!

 3. Wear eyeliner of the color of your choice; black and brown are the most common.  4. Apply lots and lots of mascara for a dramatic effect!

For the lips  If you wear a dramatic eye make up keep the lips simple, or the other way around.  Be bold and have fun picking out your colors.
