mascara:


-you don't need a high quality mascara because they all pretty much have the same effects, so don't spend too much money on mascara.


-if you want to curl your lashes, curl them first, apply mascara, curl them again, and apply mascara again.


-i really recommend a mascara brush too (really cheap, like $2) to get all the clumps out.





foundation:


-make sure you use a primer before applying foundation. i really really recommend it because your foundation will apply a lot more even and stay on longer.

-don't be cheap with foundation. high quality foundation might be expensive but if you get a cheap brand that can make your skin irritated and cause you to break out.


-i suggest using a pressed powder foundation because they apply very even and stay on longer than loose powders but look more natual than liquid foundation.





As for smokey eyes, don't use too much eyeliner, it's all in the eyeshadow and the way you blend it. I think grey/black smokey eyes are a lot less pretty than black/brown smokey eyes because it looks less dramatic but still very pretty %26amp; edgy.





Blemishing cover up, concealer concealer concealer!


Apply concealer over your foundation PRIMER, then after you put on concealer, apply your foundation.





I suggest a stick or liquid concealer,
