WANT TO RID OF DARK CIRCLES?
*
Sometimes you can do everything right (drink enough water, get enough sleep), but when you look in the mirror, dark circles still stare back at you. The only thing you can do at that point, aside from applying a de-puffing cream is learn how to cover them correctly.
*
Here, we tell you how to do just that with some makeup artist’s camouflaging tips.
*
1. Apply concealer after your foundation.
Many of us learned that concealer comes before foundation; foundation actually will provide some coverage and help you to use less concealer.

2. Use caution when choosing your concealer’s colour.
Use a concealer that has an undertone that is the opposite colour of the discoloration. For most women that would be something in the orange family — a peach, coral or salmon colour concealer. Girls should against yellow-tone concealers as they can make the under eye discoloration look grey. When yellow is combined with blue under your eye, it turns green, leaving that grey cast that most women experience.

3. Go darker with your concealer when puffiness is present.
For puffiness, use a darker coloured concealer, because a darker colour will recess something or make something appear deeper or smaller. A darker colour will pull the puffiness back, making it look even with the rest of your skin.

4. Go lighter with your concealer when there are deep lines.
A lighter colour will open something up or bring something forward.

5. Only use concealer where there is discoloration.
Restraint is the name of the game when applying concealer. If you apply concealer in the entire under eye area, it doesn’t hide dark circles — it can accentuate them.

DIRTY BRUSH? EWWW!
*
We use our makeup brushes every day – dipping them in cosmetics, applying them to our face. Makeup brushes collect dirt, oil, bacteria and other build-up that can cause breakouts and aggravate skin. Seems rather counterintuitive, being they exist to make us pretty!
*
Make cleaning your makeup brushes – regularly – part of your routine.
*
Baby shampoo is a good back-up
If you don’t have a traditional brush cleaner handy, there’s lots of great gentle substitutes – like baby shampoo! Rinse the shampoo out well and – very important – lay the brushes flat on paper towels to dry.

Give your brushes some extra TLC
For a deep cleanse, pour alcohol in a shallow bowl and swish brushes back and forth. Wipe down brush handles with alcohol as well. Then use a solid brush shampoo. It is always important to use lukewarm water. Hot water can damage the bristles. Don’t let the water hit above the shaft or metal part because the glue can loosen and brush can fall apart.

In a pinch, use rubbing alcohol
Spray it on the bristles or onto paper towels and run the brushes back and forth on the towel and/or really wipe down the bristles with the alcohol soaked towel. Alcohol also kills germs and bacteria.

WANT TO HAVE SLIMMER FACE INSTANTLY??
*
If you’ve ever seen celebrities looking completely unrecognizable without a full face of makeup, then you know exactly how transformative certain techniques can be. Armed with these same makeup artist tricks and tips, these eight easy makeup tricks can take 10 pounds off your look, instantly.
*
We’ll show you how to slim your face, enhance your favourite features, and play with proportion—all with makeup. Optical illusions, indeed.
*
1. Just like in art (and life!), dark makeup shades recede, while lighter colours bring features forward. Use this concept to your advantage by investing in a contour colour or matte bronzer one or two shades deeper than your skin tone and a luminous highlighter that’s a bit lighter than your complexion.

2. Create the illusion of slimmer cheeks by applying your contour shade in a diagonal line from the centre of your cheek up toward the ear.

3. To fake a thinner nose, swipe a contour powder down the sides of the bridge, stopping before you get to the nostrils. Blend highlighter down the bridge of your nose in a vertical line to complete the effect.

4. Apply bronzer along your jawline to define the area, and blend the shade to create a seamless contour. You’ll never have a double chin in a photo again.

5. Full lips can emphasize roundness on the face, but eyes made to look large with makeup will make the rest of the face appear smaller in comparison, so try playing up your eyes with liner, shadow, and mascara while leaving lips natural with a tinted balm or gloss.

6. Choose the right eyebrow shape. A higher, more pronounced arch helps balance out a round face by vertically stretching its appearance, drawing the eye upward.

7. Playing with light to bring the centre of your face forward will help downplay the width of your face for a slimmer look.

8. Don’t forget your forehead—blend your contour shade upward into your temples and around the hairline to emphasize the angular qualities of your bone structure.
