Makeup Tips to Perfect Your Look

There is no denying that well-applied makeup makes a positive difference to how you feel and the impression you give off by boosting confidence, adding instant glamour to your appearance, and helping to create an aura of sophistication. Given the benefits, it is in your interest to make sure you get the best out of your cosmetics. Here are three tips to help you do this.

1. 
When applying mascara, use the tip of the wand on the outer eyelashes. 

It is a minor step, but one that will enable you to fully coat those difficult-to-reach lashes, avoid getting product on your skin, and create a more professional-looking finish with greater lash definition.

2.
Turn your attention to your smile. To perfect your pout, prime your lips before applying lipstick. This should prevent your lip color from bleeding or feathering (settling into the creases in your lips), and keep your lipstick in place for longer, which means you won't need to keep reapplying it. 

You will find a whole range of lip primers on the beauty counters in your nearest department store, but you don't need to go to the expense of buying a lip-specific product. You can use foundation or concealer as a primer instead.
