How to Blend Eyeshadow

Blend eye makeup only after you've applied all the eye shadow shades you want to wear. Apply all three eye shadow colors if you're planning to wear highlighter, midtone and accent colors. For the best effect, the highlighter color should be your lightest eye shadow color.

2

Wait to apply eyeliner and mascara until after your eye shadow is blended; otherwise, you'll end up with a big mess to clean up.

3

Use the brush you used to apply your accent color to blend your eye makeup so that you don't get your darker accent color on the brush you use for your other two lighter eye shadow colors.

4

Buy a tapered blending brush for applying and blending eye makeup if your budget permits. You'll get a much better end result than if you use the small eye shadow brushes that accompany discount store makeup. Better yet, splurge on high-end eye makeup for the best application.

5

Move the makeup brush lightly across eyelids and under the eyebrows to blend eye shadow and remove any excess makeup

Makeup Bad Habbits!!

The bad habit: Going to bed with your makeup on.

Break it! Sleeping with a day’s worth of makeup, dirt and oil on your skin is the quickest path to clogged pores, zits, even eye irritation—not to mention stained pillowcases. Keep a stash of makeup remover wipes in your bedside table drawer for nights when you’re too tired to wash your face. Choose ones with moisturizing ingredients such as vitamin E or glycerin.

The bad habit: Storing makeup in your bathroom.

Break it! All that warm, moist steam from the shower is a breeding ground for bacteria, which can nestle into your foundation, shadow, and more (and also shorten their shelf life). Store cosmetics in a cool, dry place.

The bad habit: Not washing your makeup brushes.

Break it! Think about how grimy the hair on your head gets after only a few days of not washing it. Now multiply that times 50 and that’s what builds up on the bristles of your makeup brushes when you neglect them—not great for your skin. Also, ewww. Clean brushes every two to three weeks with baby shampoo or a mild soap and let them dry overnight. In a pinch, brush-cleansing wipes, such as those by Japonesque, can do the trick, though brushes should still be fully washed when you have the time.

The bad habit: Using expired makeup.

Break it! Makeup that’s past its prime usually won’t harm you (though it can have a buildup of bacteria, which for eye makeup especially can lead to irritation or infection). It just won’t work as well—colors can oxidize and change, formulas can separate and look splotchy on your skin, and powders can dry out. Toss anything that’s been open longer than a year (unopened makeup that’s stored in a cool, dry place can last up to two years). Mascara conks out sooner than that, though, at about three months. If you notice any changes in a product’s texture, color, or odor, replace it.

Making your makeup last

Making Your Makeup Last

Nothing is worse than having your makeup melt or fade throughout the day. Here is some advice to help your makeup last all day.

Apply a primer.
Applying primer before your foundation will help set your makeup. It also creates a barrier between your skin and your cosmetics. Therefore the oils of your skin won't break up the makeup and cause creasing and fading. A gel based primer also fills in any wrinkles or open pores and helps for a smooth  makeup application. Studio cosmetics has a Gel based primer "Sensation Primer" is odor free and clear gel based.

Use powder.Use a powder puff or big brush to add a light dusting of translucent powder to your makeup. The powder will set your makeup and give you a flawless finish.

Set your eye makeup.
Apply eye shadow primer or pressed powder to your eyelid before applying any eye shadow. This base will stop your eye shadow from creasing or melting. Studio cosmetics has a primer for the eyeshadows that can also be used for the lips .. " I-prime"

Fill in your lips.
To make your lipstick last much longer, line your lips with a lip pencil and then fill in your entire lips with the liner. Apply a matte lipstick, and then blot your lips with a tissue. Add a second coat of lipstick in a more glossy formula.  .

Carry blotting papers.
Don't leave home without makeup blotting papers. They remove oil without disturbing your makeup and will leave your skin looking great. a great affordable alternative to blotting paper is End wraps.. (the paper they use for perms) a box of 1000 end wraps cost about $2.50

Groomed Brows

1. Brush your eyebrows straight up with an eyebrow brush. Using small straight scissors, carefully trim any hairs that are curly or too long. Then brush the brows back into their natural shape.
2. Hold a pencil along the side of your nose to ensure that the inner edge of your brow lines up with the inside corner of your eye.
3. Move the pencil so that it intersects with your iris. The arch of your brow should line up with the pencil.
4. Angle the pencil from the outside edge of your nose to the outer corner of your eye to determine where your brow should end.
5. Tweeze where necessary and fill in with a soft pencil or powder.
6. Brush with an eyebrow brush and apply eyebrow gel to keep strays in place. You're done!
