3. Lips

There are different lip colors that suit different skin tones. To make your lipstick last long, coat your entire lips with it. If your lips are thick, draw a line within them, but don’t do the contrary for thin lips, to accentuate your looks.

4. Hair color

Hair color must be in accordance with you skin and natural hair color. If you have light hair, go for light colors. Get the roots of hair colored as well.

5. How much is enough

Makeup must brighten all the good areas and hide all the unattractive ones. Too much of makeup can be equally harmful:

* Using dark and thick eyeliner or shadow will spoil your entire makeup.

* Too much mascara with a dark blue eye pencil makes the face look unnatural and ugly.

6. Rarely wearing makeup

7. Touchups

Touching up will keep your makeup fresh all through the day. Touchup all places that have lost color to keep your look perfect and fresh.
