2. Tip #1
Apply eye shadow before you put on your
foundation.
• Putting on eye shadow after foundation can
only lead to problems.
• Flecks from the shadow can fall onto your
face, making it impossible to remove it
without wiping off some of the foundation
just applied.
• By applying eye shadow first, if any falls
onto your face, you can swipe it off very
easily with makeup remover.
• 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.

Apply foundation colour that is closest to
your skin tone.

purchasing a foundation with a face-full of
makeup, which does not help the consultant

be sure to go all natural.
• To attain the perfect shade that is best for
you, test the foundation on your jaw line.
• This will give you the most accurate match
for your skin tone.
• Apply it with a brush or a sponge and never
with your fingers as a lot of product gets
wasted on your hands and also it would not
be too hygienic.
