Just for Buzz: Makeup Dos and Donts!

Hey there again! So today thought I'd do something a little more general rather than just the normal reviews! Yup! Title says it all folks!!! Make-up dos and donts!!! well the power of makeup can sometimes be just that awesome to hide some flaws and enhance some of those beautiful features on your face, wearing too much or the wrong way can just make you look like one hot mess. So, what should we avoid and what should we go for so as to achieve that perfect balance? (*angel music playing*)

So how to NOT look like you've just stepped out of a 90s horror flick?

•  if you can, keep it natural. Light and fresh is a good way to go. Plus, it might just be better for your skin.
• depending on your preference, select foundations that can sometimes allow your natural beauty to show through. (however dont let this stop you from using full coverage foundations if you prefer them!)
• Always remember, LESS IS MORE. Try not to slap on too much powder on your face to avoid looking that classic cake face look that we strive hard to avoid! If you ever need to touch up and put some powder on your face, try blotting of the excess oil first to avoid having to put too much powder on your face.
• all about the balance ladies (and gents). it's all about  playing up different parts of your face. Try not to overdo the eyeshadow, blush and lips all at once.
• Eyeliner: rimming the whole eye such as tightlining and waterlining can make one look instantly sexy and have some great looking smokey eyes but overdo it, and it can look like you just got punched in the eye by someone who really dislikes you. Depending on your eyeshape, find the best eyeliner style that suits you the best.
• Lipstick on your teeth: So you are on a date with a really cool guy, all is going well until he notices that red streak across your teeth. Not cool. Bold lipscan be oh so fun to pull off but they can also stick to your teeth. Not a pretty look. Always check your teeth before leaving the house/ bathroom etc. To minimise the likelihood of your lipstick transferring to your teeth, just stick a finger into your mouth and pull out while trying to put your lips tgt (think of the action u do when u suck on a lollipop) Not the most glamourous way to do it, but well it works. (just boils down to being discreet) ;)
• Blush: blush is such a simple way to give you that instant glow. However, not blending it seamlessly into the skin will just make you look like you have two bright streaks on your cheeks. Not a very hot look to have imo.lol Be sure to blend your blush properly and avoid being too heavy handed with your brush. Tap off any excess blush at the back of your hand before applying it onto your face. Should you have applied too much onto your face, just take a kabuki brush or flat top brush (clean brush or the one you have just used for your powder etc)  and buff out the excess blush.
