"10 Secrets I Learned at Makeup Artist School"

I found this site a truly great read.

It;s a great site to learn an extra tip on not just doing your own makeup but for helping others, that are, well....not so good.
I found the key to good make up is the COLOURING, so maybe when people laugh at your for having a face like a colouring book, take that as a complement?

My personal Fav tip was this:

10 Secrets I Learned at Makeup Artist School


"Remember how I learned that opposite colors on top of each other cancel each other out? OK, well today I learned if you place them side by side, they help each other stand out. Simple, but super important when you're trying to pick the most flattering eyeshadow colors. Here's a cheat sheet:

For blue eyes: Since orange is the opposite color of blue, anything with orange in it will make blue eyes stand out more. "It doesn't have to be a blazing sun color -- it just has to have orangey undertones like gold, apricot, or peach," says Prior. 

For green eyes: Red is the opposite color of green, which isn't to say you should apply a cherry red-colored eyeshadow to your lids. But you'll help your green eyes pop if you use colors that have red undertones, like deep plums and wine. 

For brown eyes: Brown is a neutral color, so any color will work well, says Prior. "But the most standout colors are blue and purple."  



Lip liner - They have a use?

I never under stood lip liners- We have lip stick and gloss!!!
However this pic explains it all, and yes I tried it.
Its hard to trace your lips with lipstick so liners when sharpened can give you a very neat job.
No smudges or patched over foundations any more!
My extra tip is to defs place gloss over the top to plump your lips up, so they are nice and juicy
