MAKEUP 101

w your awkward harlem pal < ( owo ) >

Gen Tips ! :

Get color matched! And be vocal about skin type as well! (On the off chance they can't figure

out your undertone ie: something’s suddenly too pink / and obvious yellow- or orange you might

be olive ask for a more neutral shade)

Clean makeup brushes before use!!! I breakout all the time bc i refuse to do this don't be like me

:--(

If mascara is waterproof coconut oil dissolves it! Eyeliner also might linger in the waterline. This

is okay. It should go away around wash 2 and gives a lil sex appeal the next day.

If the concealer creases, add powder after! Just make sure those under your eyes are hydrated.

If you need more coverage covering a pimple, dot concealer and leave it to dry for a few min, it'll

thicken and stay put where it's needed the most and blend around nicely. BTW if ur covering a

really stubborn pimple get all sides of the roundness not just a dollop directly on top. Hydration

is also again important or that concealer will dry and make it look like a scab peeling or peeling

skin. Powder so it doesn't move all night!

Skin prep before is crucial, wash, moisturizer!!!!!! Then wait a few min then start makeup :D If

the product is still fighting or it doesn't look right that day, try a bit of vaseline/aquaphor and
apply concealer on top and it should be okay! Vaseline is also a really fuckin great and

underrated primer makeup doesnt move.

Don't sleep in makeup. Don't do it. Never. Eyes hurt the next day, dry as hell too, pillow is

stained, you got 8 new pimples. Awful.

Concealers (these cover up darkness, red spots, uneven skin tone, and hyperpigmentation. Just

dot on area + blend :3c) :

- Glossier Pot concealer (def in sephora but pricey in case i am in the shade g9)

- Undone Beauty concealer

- Nyx Bare with Me concealer (haven't tried might be available by you)

- Maybelline fit me concealer (this one can sometimes orange)

Mascara (4 amazing, beautiful, gorgeous, fluttery and flirtatious eyelashes):

- Loreal telescopic mascara (DIS IS THE ONE AND ONLY <33)

- Maybelline snapscara (she's okay >.>)

Eyeliners (in the waterline,,, be brave you got this if anything look up and run the pencil along

the waterline, you might tear up das okay too i cry a lot when doing this):

- I use random black eyeliner pencils from anywhere so drugstores mainly

(maybelline/loreal/wetnwild) should be okay!!

- Brown eyeliner pencil if you want a more subtle defined eye but not heavy

- NYX jumbo eye pencil in milk (white eyeliner trust me comes in handy sometimes)

Bronzer (4 hollows of cheeks!!! Also use creams only for this trust me powder is a demon):

- Undone Beauty water bronzer (sheer, non overpowering, super easy to blend)

- NYX Brown lip liner (i shit you not i use this for everything i just scribble where contour/

bronzer should be in the hollows of my cheeks and sculpt my nose and blend w my
 fingers and its nice but more obvious than Undone’s bronzer. If i also get a tan in the

summer i would scribble on the apples of my cheeks and nose bridge and blend to look

sunkissed)

Lipsticks (I am very simple w these and alternate between the Nyx liners bc I am very boring w

makeup LOL ):

- NYX lip liner Mahogany, Ever, Natural, Nutmeg [make sure its the original not suede or

matte those are drying and emphasize lip crust B( ] (i usually put lip balm wait a few min

then line my lips n color them in instead of the traditional bullet-esque uncapped lipstick)

- Benetint (Don't own. Want to own one. Will cry tears of joy if i own it. But also i wear it as

lip stain)

Blush (4 ur cheeks to look like dis >>>> u///w///u):

- NYX lip liner Mahogany, Ever, Natural, Nutmeg (any one of these that i am wearing and

scribble on either the apples of my cheeks or where the cheekbone protrudes the most

out n blend w finger. It also makes sure your blush always matches your look)

- Benetint (AGAIn WANT THIS SO MF BADLY,, but erm ,,,, it has a nice flush blendable w

fingers, and wears well)

- Glossier cloud paint, Storm, Beam, Puff (a tiny drop goes a long way, in sephora, pricey?

But gets job done)

- Milani Baked Blush (Used to be obsessed in HS)

Setting powder:

- No7 luminous setting powder

- Airspun loose face powder

Eyeshadow (not usually my forte i use lip liner for this too LOL but!! I'll bite):

- Nyx Ultimate Shadow Palette Warm Neutrals

- Nyx Ultimate Shadow Palette Vintage Jean Baby (lowk,,,,want dis)

- Too Faced Chocolate Palette

 - Too Faced Sweet Peach Palette

- Milani Gilded Nude Eyeshadow Palette

Tools:

- Makeup Brushes (Real Techniques is a good starter set/ good set in gen)

- Finger (Don’t underestimate her, when in doubt finger it out…. pause LEL)

- Eyelash curler (jus bought dis one,,, needed her even for no mascara days its a big

refresher. Also it looks like a sawtrap for the eyes but just don't squeeze to hard and look

down when you’re inserting lashes and make sure it has cushioning)
