8 Essential Makeup Tips

1. Have these 2 things in your extremely small evening bag :
   * A sheet of wet tissue (packed indivdually) for easy wipe-off in case of makeup errors or stains
   * Choose an item that you are certain will help define your looks.

2. When you want to freshen up with your makeup on, just spray a light layer of face mist and pat gently with tissue.
3. Don’t wear makeup during exercise, it could clog up the pores on the skin especially when you have acne.
4. Use a gentle make-up remover to remove makeup. Use the patting motion as your fingers orientate around the face to wipe off traces of makeup. Do not rub especially around the delicate eye area. Clean very thoroughly. Never hurry off to bed at the end of the day with makeup on! Remove it first, no matter how tired you are.
5. Putting on makeup can really be trying especially when you are not really good at it. Nevertheless, the important thing is not to grow discouraged but be very patient with yourself, practice often & do not be shy to ask for comments or advice.
6. Always experiment & practice the various makeup styles on days when you are free & not on the actual day when you are supposed to get ready for.
7. Bear in mind that many things are usually involved in creating near-perfect & flawless looking models on glossy magazine covers - skilled make-up artists and stylists, many layers of makeup, good and strong lighting, computer editing (sometimes) and skilled photographers who would take numerous shots before deciding which one goes on to be printed on the cover.
8. No one will deny that makeup transforms, but know that true beauty is way beyond skin deep - it is your inner beauty that radiates, that is valuable and that is more lasting than just wanting to be beautiful on the outside with miserable beauty inside.
