I’ll keep on adding as i rediscover more. these are tried and true…as in ive tried em and they’ve worked for me!

-To apply eyeshadow wet (mineral or normal) spray mix fix + spray on the brush. If its a powder, pick up whatever amount you need with your brush and spray the fix + on it.
-ALWAYS apply moisturiser before applying foundation. Makes application smoother and easier
-Use eyelash curler before applying mascara and heating it(if its metal) helps
-Apply eyeshadow before foundation. So that you can clean up spillage from the eyeshadow
-Drugstore makeup doesnt have staying power and are not highly pigmented compared to mid and high end brands. A good drugstore brand for eyeshadows is milani. They are highly pigmented but dont have an abundance of colors.
-If you break out easily from foundation, try mineral foundation. Unfortunately, they tend to make me look pastey so if you’re dark skinned, might as well forget it!
-when applying makeup, start with a small amount. and then build up to get what you need. Its better than applying too much and then having to clean up and start again
