GREAT MAKEUP TIPS

GREAT MAKEUP TIPS (Essence Magazine)

I was reading an issue of Essence Magazine while at Physical Therapy and thought these great makeup tips were worth passing along! Please feel free to share!

1. Avoid Rubbing Your Eyes: The more you rub them, the greater the chance that skin around them will get darker. Rubbing inflames the area and causes more pigmentation to be deposited into thin skin.

2. To Create Our Most Natural Nude Lip: Before applying your favorite shade of gloss, put on a concealer that matches your skin tone.
