With the help of my lovely friend, Tanner. (You may remember her from my blog post, Talented Tanner.) We have came up with a few Dos & Don'ts when applying make-up. These little tips and tricks go a long way, so I hope you find them helpful. Feedback is always fabulous as well!

Makeup {Dos}

Moisturize and {PRIME} your face before applying
Highlight your brow bone and inner corner of your eye to make them POP!
Match your foundation with your neck {not your face}
Clean your brushes once a week ~ A MUST!
As Jaclyn Hill says: Blend, Blend, & {Blend} your eyeshadow
Rim your top waterline with black eyeliner to create a fuller lash look
Rim your bottom waterline with nude eyeliner to create a wider eye look
Use natural lighting when applying
Always use a setting spray to hold all day
Conceal under eyes {blending up to the temple}
Wash Your Face Every Night <-- { Very Important }

Makeup {Don’ts}

Don’t use a concealer that is too light or too dark
Don’t forget about your lips {make sure they accent your eye makeup}
Don’t forget about your eyebrows
Don’t use too much shimmer {for every day attire anyways}
Don’t {ever} apply creams after powders—that is what creates a “cake face” look. {CREAMS BEFORE POWDERS}
Don’t over line the entire lips {JUST the cupids bow for a plumping effect}
Don’t apply blush below the apples of the cheeks
Don’t use chalking eyeshadows {Blending becomes impossible}
Don't apply mascara over dried mascara
