What are some cool makeup tricks/tips?

nothing really obviousWhat are some cool makeup tricks/tips?
To stop your shadows from creasing half way through the day try putting on your foundation primer on your lids. I love Clarins Instant Smooth. It works wonders. Or Smashbox PhotoFinish works great too. Just dab it onto your lids with your index finger. Let is sit for a second the apply as usual. You will find the color is more vibrant and lasts all day without creasing.


If you use Mineral or Powder foundation and need a great under eye concealer mix your powder with a small amount of eye cream. It will turn it into a liquid concealer. Plus your getting the benefits of your eye treatment as well.


If you have an eye shadow or blush you think would make a great lip gloss or lip stick brush it onto your lips and then with a clear gloss or chapstick go over it. Instant lip color that nobody else will have.


Those are just a few I don't want this answer to be a novel. Hope they helped. My thing with make-up is there are no rules. Be as creative as you can and you will have tips like this to share with others.What are some cool makeup tricks/tips?
Sephora makes a cool compact of corrector and concealor.


There's a green one for any red areas like veins around the nose or cheeks. Then there's a pink that works for the really dark areas around the eyes.


It should be put on before your foundation if you use it. Unless your using mineral powers.


Then there's Smashbox makeup primer which is awesome to wear right before all make up. You should see what it does to your face and the way make up goes on then.


It's a miracle. Sephora gives samples.


Their O-Glow blush and lip gloss colors each woman differently. It gives you a natural blush color.


Have fun
If you have bad bags under your eyes, you can put orange lipstick on it, then put concealer over it, so the orange cancels out the blue bags. And I put concealer on my lips before lipstick or when I just want a nude lip look. When using bronzer make 3's on the sides of your faces from your top hairline to your cheeks to your chin. Shading in your brows can really make you look a lot better. Do not use full coverage foundation because it gets cakey in the summer. Instead use concealer and light to medium foundation.
A little eyeliner(dark) between the eyelashes makes them look thicker. It also makes your eyes look more awake.
