#1. Apply eyeshadow before you put on your foundation

Basic Tips For Makeup That Every Girl Should Know

A lot of people wonder about the correct way to apply eyeshadow. Putting on an eyeshadow after foundation will only lead to problems. Flecks from the shadow can fall on your face, making it impossible to remove without wiping off some of the foundations you just applied. By applying eyeshadow first, if any falls onto your face, you can swipe it off very easily with a make-up remover.

Already applied foundation and in a dilemma? Here is a trick: Grab a piece of scotch tape and gently press it onto the area where flecks are visible. The tape will clean up any excess shadow.

#2. Do not skip the primer

Basic Tips For Makeup That Every Girl Should Know

Primer is like the glue that holds your make-up together for hours at a time. It smoothes out the skin’s surface and reduces shine caused by sebum. A primer is not a moisturiser. Always moisturise the face first, wait for 10-15 minutes and then follow it up with a primer.

The following is the best way to apply a primer:

Step 1- Take a quantity of the size of a 50 paise coin.
Step 2- Rub it with your middle finger and ring finger of both hands so as to warm the product.
Step 3- Massage it all over your face for around a minute.
Step 4- Wait for five minutes and start with your regular foundation routine again.
