1. Use a good face primer
One that suits your face type ofcourse as this makes the perfect base for your make up which helps keep it looking fresh for longer and also last the day.
2. Look after your hair
Using a good shampoo and conditioner is not enough. Especially if you're always using heat on your hair, I would recommend you use a heat protection spray. Recently I have also been applying Argan oil on my hair after every wash while it is wet and I have noticed a big difference as it makes my hair super soft and shiny without making it greasy!
3. Line your lips first
Even if it's a light lip colour I always like to line my lips first with a matching lip liner as the lipstick always looks neater and sharper around the edges, plus I think your lipstick lasts longer throughout the day as you have an undercoat.
4. Don't pop it!!
This is so important. Do not touch or pop any spots as they will only leave a scar once gone. This is something I tell myself every time I get a spot and I must say recently I have been very good and due to this my skin looks so much better and clearer.
5. Keep your lips moisturised
No one likes dry lips so make sure you keep them moisturised throughout the day and night especially in this cold weather. I like to carry around a lip balm with me to use throughout the day when my lips feel dry. I also ex-foliate my lips every night which makes such a different as it removes any old skin off your lips and leaves them smooth.
6. Don't go crazy with your eyebrows
Keep your brows looking natural by filling them in with a colour that matches or slightly lighter but not darker as this will make them look like two blocks! (Which is never a good look)
7. Blend, blend and blend...
Always blend out your make up, whether it's foundation, blusher or eye shadow make sure to blend it really well and avoid any streaks or harsh lines.
8. Go outside your comfort zone
Try new looks and experiment, I personally love doing different make up looks and trying new lip combos. After all you never know what looks good on you unless you try it, right?!
9. Use cold water
Wash your face with cold water. Even after a hot bath I always wash my face with cold water, this helps to close your pores which then prevents any bacteria getting into your skin which may lead to spots.
10. Never sleep with make up on!
Although last, this is probably the most important tip. Never ever go to sleep with make up on, no matter how sleepy you are. Always remove your make up properly and cleanse your face before bed. I like to ex-foliate my face every night as this removes any left over residue of make up and leaves my face clean and soft.
Enjoy :)
