Hi Guys, it’s Autumn.
Today, I thought I’d give you a little bit of advice, my own
personal dos and don’ts.
some of these are from personal experiences, and some are just things I've picked up over the years.
I'm not saying I give the best advice, or that what I say it
the professional way of doing thing, but over the years I have found my way of
doing things, ways that suit me. Now you may have your own way of doing thing,
so I guess to you this is just a helping hand or second option.
1) Do blend your foundation onto your neck; nobody
wants an orange line around your chin. I see so many girl with an orange line
around there chin, I have to admit when I first started applying make-up I went
out some mornings with an awful orange line, but I guess that why people say ‘you
should learn from your mistakes’ and I did, so I'm passing this very important message
on you guys.
2) Don’t leave make-up on overnight. If you take
your make-up of correctly it will help prevent spots and blemishes, it also allows
your skin to breath. There are so many different types of make-up removers out
there, i.e. Makeup wipes, Micellar water, Exfoliators… try a few to see which
one suits your skin type the best.
3) Do clean your brushes on a regular basis, even
if you haven’t used it for a long time, it’s still best to wash them as brushes
collect dust and you don’t want to be putting that on your face. The best way
to clean your brushes is to use ordinary hair shampoo and cold water, and then
let them dry naturally.
4) Don’t be embarrassed to blot or powder throughout the day, majority of girls have to do it,just carry around compact powder or blotting paper. especially if you've got oily skin. However, don’t be one of those girls who over
power because you’ll end up looking like you've covered yourself in a layer of
fluff.
5) Don’t neglect your eyebrows. For me, the eyebrows
complete every look. Keep them neat and tidy as much as you can. However don’t over
pluck them either. There are many different ways in which to shape for eyebrows,
waxing, threading and plucking. Some hurt more than others, if you’re unsure as
to which one to have done, maybe ask friends or colleague what their opinion is.
But if it is your first time don’t do it by yourself, get it done professionally,
I made that mistake.
6) Do switch up your shampoo and conditioner once a
month, it helps to keep your hair shiny and soft, the way it feels when you
come out of the salon. If you keep the same one for a long period of time your
hair will get used to it and it won’t have any effect on your hair.
7) Don’t ever have dark lips and dark eyes, have
one or the other, never should you have both. Only emphasis one facial feature.
If you want to emphasize a specific facial feature then then the rest of your make-up should be subtle. E.g. if you want to make your eyes stand out the go for a
smoky eye effect, and have nude lips and a light blusher.
8) Do blend in your bronzer; you’ll know you've not
blended it in enough if you still have a brown line across your check bone. Pick
a colour that is suited to your skin tone, if you don’t I could look to dark or
too orange. Otherwise you might look like you’re going for the stage make-up look. The more you blend/buff the more natural
the contorting will look.
9) Don’t let your eye-liner smudge under your eyes throughout the day, keep a compact mirror with
you so that you can check it every so often.
10) Finally, Do experiment with different techniques
and styles. Don’t be scared to go bold and daring, its goo to have a play around
to find out what suits you. try bright eye-shadow, or abstract lipsticks, experiment with different brushes. try cream blushes as-well as powder ones.
Hope this helps.
