How to Do Great Makeup

Having trouble getting the right look? Makeup isn't working the way you want it to? Following these steps, you can look and feel as beautiful as a model, and wear natural tones at the same time.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Eye liner (black)
• Lip gloss (clear)
• Eye shadow to match your outfit
• Pink lip liner
• Mascara (black)
• Eyebrow comb
• Concealer
• Face Powder

1. Comb out your eyebrows. Come up, and then out. Make sure your eyebrows aren't too big, but not too thin either.

2. Start out by putting concealer on your forehead, cheeks, chin, eyelids and under the eye. Also put a bit on your nose. Then, take the face powder and go over where you put the concealer to soak up some of the oils. This will also make your skin appear and feel smooth and zit free.

3. Now for the eye liner. Put a thin line on near your bottom eyelashes. Only go as far as your eyelashes grow out, or 3/4 of your eye. Start at the outer corners, and make your way in. Smudge towards your nose a little to get a smooth line.

4. Sweep some eye shadow a little darker than your shirt over your eyelid. DO NOT PUT ANY ON THE CREASE OF YOUR EYE! Then, put some lighter eye shadow above your eye up to your eyebrows. Blend these two colors at the crease.

5. Comb out your eyelashes so they are not all 'tangled'. This should make them appear neat and longer.

6. Put on a thin coat of mascara, being very careful not to clump it. Comb your eyelashes once more.

7. Line your lips smoothly with the lip liner and put on some lip gloss. Take a look in the mirror, and move onto your hair.

Tips & Warnings

• Use a concealer a little bit darker than that of your skin with face powder a little lighter than your skin. This will get your face tone perfect and it will look more natural.
• Take off makeup before you go to bed. Sleeping in makeup can cause eye infections, and zits. If you aren't allergic to baby wipes, they take makeup off in a snap. Even water proof mascara comes off!!
