Thursday Beauty: Beauty Tips

I will be honest I don't wear makeup on a daily basis. But over the years I've read up on makeup, some do's and don'ts of the trade and there were some tips that have I have learned over the years.
1. Use makeup is to enhance your features. If you love your eyes then enhance them. If you love your lips then show them off.
2. Don't hide behind your makeup. Confidence doesn't come from how good you look on the outside, it comes from how good you feel inside. No amount of makeup can cover up an ugly heart.
3. Foundation is for women over 30. This may seem mean and possibly stupid but I remember reading in an article that foundation should be used for woman over 30 so use a tinted moisturizer or BB Cream to help even out your skin tone if you need to. But if you love your foundation and don't want to leave it then continue to wear it because it is up to you.
4. Less is more for the day. A simple makeup look during the day is perfect and doesn't require much time.
5. Protect yourself from the sun. Wear sunscreen or anything with SPF15 or higher is good and don't forget to protect those lips as well.
6. Exfoliate. You grow a new layer of skin, I believe, daily so you might want to exfoliate and get rid of any dead skin a couple times a week.
7. Caking is human error not foundation error. If you put too much foundation on you're the one caking it not the foundation itself.
8. Wash those brushes. If you use makeup brushes make sure you wash your brushes because a lot of bacteria get on and stays on your makeup brushes which are then transferred onto you. So clean those brushes.
9. Wash your face every night and take off that makeup completely. Your skin needs to breath properly and it's not going to breath if you have a mask of makeup over it.
10. You know this was coming. Be Beautiful For You
