The last one is more hair, but does a bit of makeup, and the first two are actually sisters and my favourite tutorials.





A tip is never overdo it, some of these tutorials can be really over the top, but if you're young, even tough it looks good on them, it's going to look silly on you.How do I apply make up?
I know alot of youtubers have alot of video's on how to do makeup.


you have a variety of makeup styles to choose from.. so they are pretty good.


Also I think Elle girl does video's with proffesional makeup stylists showing you how to get a certain look.





but I think the best way to do it is to experiment on make up yourself..


have a night in.


have a mirror infront of you and alot of makeup and makeup wipes..


always remember to look after your skin..


and just put on different makeup and look at styles you like and try to copy. after a while you'll get good at it and you'll find your look :)
teach urself.


its really fun actually...


you'll find a style that you like.


i had 2 teach my self (im15)


i just play around with it after school to see what looks cool.


yesterday i messed around with the bright green/ blue eyeshadow.
There are tons of wonderful youtube tutorials on makeup application! You have to kind of search for some natural looking makeup guides... there are a lot of dark smokey looks or very colorful looks. My absolute favorite is makeupbytiffanyd. She is awesome!
Go to youtube there is about a million people on there showing you how to achieve different looks.
definitely youtube tutorials!!

how to liquid eyeliner -


1. Liquid eyeliner comes in a bottle rather like ink, and you must use a separate brush to apply. The best result will come from a point liner brush.


2. It is natural to close your eye as you draw the line, but if you keep it open, it will actually make it easier to follow the curve of your lid and thus have a straighter line.


3. You do not need to try and paint a continuous line with liquid eyeliner. It is actually easier to pain a few small dashes onto the lash line, eg. Inner corner, middle and outer corner, then go back and connect them.


4. If you want a thicker line than this initial thin one, build it up gradually. Start at the middle of the lash line and draw towards the outer corner. You can extend the line slightly past the outer corner of your eyelid if you wish.





how to apply lipstick -


1. Know your lips! This sounds foolish but it's very true. Understand which shades, kinds, and brands your lips prefer. Also take into account what kind of skintone you have. Pale-skinned people look very good with light, glossy colors and perhaps a little blush, moderate-skinned people look good with muted colors (bland pinks and even browns), and dark-skinned people look great with gold browns and even nude pinks. It can vary, however, so find a shade that matches you.


2. Once you've found a color that suits you, find a lipliner that is slightly darker than the lipstick. Lipliner is more important that one might assume because it creates a sort of foundation for the lipstick and can blend well. It also creates the illusion of plumper lips for those with thin ones.


3. Now that you've got everything that you need, you can start. It's important that you soften your lips and remove dead flakes, for these can ruin your lips. If you have chapped lips, exfoliate by making a paste of sugar (not salt!) and water and GENTLY scrub your lips. After, fold a tissue in half and dampen it with water, then rub a little Vaseline on them. Squeeze this between your lips for 30 seconds, or as long as you can.


4. Rub the excess Vaseline off with the back of your hand or your finger and try to get as much as you can off. Now start filling in your lips with lipliner from the edges to the center. If you have thin lips, you can color a little outside of the edge to fakely 'plump' your lips.


5. Next, apply the lipstick. This title is a little misleading in that it doesn't only tell you how to apply lipstick, but this step shows you how. Apply thin coats; just one or two sweeps over your lips. After that, if desired, apply a little more. Less is more when it comes to lipstick, because greased-up lips are not only unnattractive, but tend to rub off easily.


6. When you're done, blot with the back of your hand. Apply gloss if desired, and voila!





how to apply blusher -


Oval: Sweep color up toward your temples, like a Nike swoosh.


Round: Add definition by applying blush at a 45-degree angle, following your cheekbones.


Square: To soften your jaw line, apply blush in small circles, focusing on the apples of your cheeks.


Long: Balance out length with more horizontal strokes of blush. Keep the strokes wide and blend well to avoid the “warpaint” look.
