THE KNOW HOW Make-Up Your Mind! Makeup can be so confusing; especially with the harsh, judging eyes of our peers today. So, tips are always handy! Black eyelash glue! I one-hundred percent recommend using black eye- lash glue if you use fake eyelashes. White glue usually shows, and clear doesn’t dry clear. Another plus with the eyelash glue is that it gives a perfect eyeliner. All you have to do is add the wing! Protip for the wing: Draw an invisible line from your nose to the end of your eyebrow. At your eye, it should give you a line up for the perfect wing! Makeup is expensive! You all have to agree with me there. So, drugstore dupes are great! I got the best powder I’ve ever used from a local dollar store! I recommend that before you get that expensive NARS foundation, you should look up some dupes from Walmart or a dollar store. A good way to get that matte powder look is baking! If you have a n=beauty blender or any sponge, it’s easy to do! You take loose pow- der and dab the sponge or blender into the powder. After that, wipe it anywhere that has shine or grease. Some people say to put it one before powder, I recommend it afterward. After five-ten minutes, take a powder or full-face brush and blend into oblivion! If you want your eyes to look wider or more awake, then put a light white or nude shade in the inner corner of your eyes. It makes your eyes look a little bigger, but it mostly adds a more alive look. Another tip if you want bigger eyes, put white eyeliner on your lower wa- terline. Black makes your eye color pop more, but if you want wider eyes, I recommend the white eyeliner. I hope that these tips have been helpful in your colorful makeup journey! These tips have helped me, and I’m sure they will be to you too! Hope, 13 52 May/June 2017
