Hello everyone!! It's time for my 4th makeup tip. I truly hope you all find these tips helpful. As always, if you have questions or comments please let me know either on my youtube channel or email. Now for this weeks tip........
Making your blush last all day:
If you are having trouble making your blush last throughout the day, no worries! I have the solution for this problem. Try layering....I know in the summer time layering doesn't seem ideal. If you have oily skin try using MAC cream color bases, these are much thicker than cream blushes. Once you have applied the cream color base than apply a sheer layer of powder blush. I'm sure you all are wondering...what if I have normal skin, dry skin or combination. For normal skin beauties, you are the lucky ones. You can wear a cream blush, cheek tints and powder blushes with ease. If you want a more intense blush look than try layering with a powder blush for you normal skin gals. For my dry skin girls, try using a moisturzing cream blush. Cream blushes add a bit more moisture than cheek tints. Wearing cream blushes gives your skin a natural glowing flush from within. For my combination skin girls, identify which areas of your face are normal, oily or dry. If you are oily in the cheek area, follow the same layering technique as my oily skin gals. For my combination girls, if your cheek area is normal than you can wear blush anyway you'd like. If you happen to have dry areas around the cheeks, try stippling cream blushes on with a duo fibre brush. For applying cream color bases, use a stiff angle blush brush. For tints or stains apply with your fingers in a circular motion and quickly!!
* Cream blushes have more moisture in them than tints or stains so be careful with the ones you choose.
*Cheek tints or stains are a much lighter form of blush. It's create for the first layer of color since most of these are extremely lightweight.
*Powder blushes are great for oily skin and if you have dry skin don't use these.
*Cream color base are a famous product by MAC but they are wonderful. I love to use them underneath my blush. These are much thicker and drier than cream blushes. Use sparingly!

Have you ever tried to use your foundation brush that seems to be scratchy on your skin or that doesn't seem to spread the foundation effortlessly? Here's a tip to help solve that problem. Apply a little bit of facial moisturizer to the back of your hand, then swipe your foundation brush back and forth as if you were apply foundation to the back of your hand.

Makeup tip #3
Hey everyone! It's time for my makeup tip for this week. Do you wish that your lipstick would last longer throughout the day? Of course there are lip stains out there in the market but some of them don't last the 8 hours it claims and some brands don't offer a wide range of colors. Follow these easy steps to achieve longer lasting lipcolor....
The first thing you should always do is moisturizer your lips. I like to use lip butters or even healing lip balms at night. I keep one in my bathroom and my nightstand. Dry lips don't mix well with lipstick regardless of the cost. Since lips are the last step in completing any look, apply your choice of moisturizing lip balm first so by the end of applying your makeup, your lips will be all ready to go. Once the lip balm soaks into your lips, then start lining your lips with a lipliner that matches the lipstick. After lining your lips, start filling them in with the lipliner. This will ensure that your lipliner in locked onto your lips. Then apply your choice of lipstick. If you want you can also apply a clear gloss over it. And you're finished!
Enjoy these easy steps to make your lipstick last a little bit longer than usual.

Tip #2
Whether you are starting your makeup collection or expanding on the one you have, you always need some type of foundation/base. If your skin in clear of any type of break outs simply use a good quality concealer to conceal any scars, redness or dark circles you may have. Once this step is done then follow with a tinted mositurizer. Why use foundation if you don't really need coverage? Lucky you! After the tinted mositurizer, apply your favorite blush and you're done! Now if you do need foundation for whatever reason, again invest the money in a really great quality concealer so therefore you can use perhaps a drugstore brand foundation. In the past few years drugstore foundations have come a long way so it's not a bad idea.
**One helpful foundation tip......if you are looking for foundation in your brand of choice, look to see if that brand offers foundations for certain skin types. Go with the one according to your skin (Normal, Oily, Combination, or Dry) these will work the best and last the longest.

Makeup tip #1
Hello everyone!
I am thinking about starting a "makeup tips" series. I would like to know if this is something you all would benefit from. You can leave your feedback as a comment to my most recent video, or follow my blog or through email. There are several series I would like to do so please do let me know what you all would enjoy. I hope this makeup tip is helpful. Feel free to video response your makeup look using these tips to my most recent video. Thanks for subscribing and watching my videos :)
Tip#1
Want to wear bright funky eyeshadows? Well here's how you can pull this off day or night....
First, decide whether you want the bright color on your lids or on your lower lash line.
If you choose the lids...this tip is for you, apply the bright eyeshadow on your lids only! Then add a neutral shade in the crease. Neutral shades can be matte brown in various shade ranges, or even a dark matte grey/black. Don't use shimmery colors in the crease since you already have a lot going on and you want the bright color to be the focus.
If you choose under the eye area...this tip is for you, start with a neutral eye look. You don't want too much going on which causes distractions. There won't be a focal point in your look. Then take a pencil brush and apply your chosen bright eyeshadow below the lash line. If you have a bright colored eyeliner that will work too! You can also use brown mascara on your lower lashes so that the eyeshadow stands out.
