Makeup tips and tricks!
Get a good base. This is where the whole face gets covered in one colour - start in the centre of the face and work outwards, this way you know how much product to use.
Contour. This is where you add dimension to the face by creating shadow and depth - using a darker colour, you can sculpt out the hollows of your eyes or cheekbones to add definition or features on your face.
Highlight. This brings out the areas of your face you want to push forward - you can do this by adding a little bit of white or a brighter colour underneath the eyes, middle of forehead and the chin.
Powder. Using a light powder can help set the wet products on the face and stop smudging.
