• Always buy products that work for your skin type. Usually, matte formulas work for oily skin while shimmery products hold well on dry skin.
• Make sure makeup products like concealer and foundation match your skin tone. It’s always a good idea to buy these products in-store instead of online so that you can get an idea about the exact shade. But be sure to test the product under different types of light, not just the store’s yellow lights!
• Never apply concealer or foundation on eyelids as it can cause eye shadow to crease; always use a quality primer.
• Finish your makeup with a setting spray to hold it all through the day.
• Throw away expired makeup and skincare products.
• Don’t buy too many products–start with the basics like concealer, foundation, eyeshadow, eyeliner, mascara, blush, and lipstick.
• Never pump your mascara wand in and out of the bottle. If your mascara goes dry, throw it out or add saline or lens solution in it and shake the bottle to mix. Don’t add water!
• Avoid sharing makeup and skincare products with others. Products that are to be pumped out of the container can be shared though!
• Keep blotting paper on hand to dab onto your face if the skin gets oily during the day. Layering on pressed powder will only make your skin look cakey!
• Wear simple makeup looks and light or bright colours during the day; heavy and dark makeup is best suited for evenings.
• Never go to bed without taking off your makeup–it can clog your skin pores and lead to a breakout. Use baby oil or a gentle makeup remover to get all the makeup off. Cleanse face and tone the skin to get rid of any makeup residue. Finish with moisturiser and let your skin repair.
