Useful Makeup Tips

1. Apply powder under eyes before application of shadow
2. Use lip pencil to fill lips fully, then apply lipstick on top for a long lasting effect
3. To give a lift to the brows tweeze brows and apply highlighter in a V shape to give an arch

   terracota lipstick and apply to the apples of the cheeks
6. To open and enlarge eyes use a lash curler on the top
   lashes, then apply two coats of mascara
7. To get three dimensional lips :
• Apply medium tone lipstick over lips
• Line lips with darker pencil
• And a highlighter to centre of lips i.e. either a lip
  shade or for evenings silver or gold could be used.
8. Old lipsticks can be revamped by cutting them out
   of their case and putting them all into a paint
   palette box. It’ll be easier to choose your colours.
