Some Makeup Tips

Did you know that red lipstick with a blue undertone makes the teeth appear whiter.  Stop lipstick from bleading and extend the wear by using a loose powder or fill in the entire lip with liner and then apply lipstick (you'll get a different color - but this way you can turn one lipstick into several colors by using  a different liner or vise versa.

In order to make the eyes appear wider apply darker shades from the outside corner of the eye to the center of the pupil but not above the crease.  White eyeliner makes the eye appear brighter.

Apply blush on the tip of the nose, the apple of the cheek, forehead and chin for a sunkist look.  Remember that blending the key to natural looking makeup.   

Use a small amount of foundation, starting with a dot on each of the forehead, nose checks and chin, blend and apply more as needed.  Always apply foundation after using a moisturizer to protect the pores, apply foundation is downward  motion on the face.  Under eye concealer should be blended towards the inner corner of the eye - never outward as you don't want to stretch the skin.
