Hello! I think it's so weird how different ideas pop in your head. For example, a few days ago I let my 2 year old sister do my makeup.. when I looked in the mirror, i thought immediately that i should do a post involving makeup do's and dont's. I think that this is so important because if your like me, you like to experiment and sometimes you think something looks great but then you see pictures and your like, omg why did i do that? Yeah, story of my life. This isnt meant to be offensive at all. If you do have done these things in the past, now is your time to learn (: I am not a professional, but I have plenty of experience and have done plenty of research. Hope you enjoy and learn some things ✌❤

Eyes
- Don't wear extremely thick eyeliner.
- Instead, stay as close to your upper lash line as you can, and if you want to be a little girly you can do a small wing. (cat eye)
Face - color choices
- Don't pick a foundation before you test it. There is nothing worse than having an orange face to go with your albino neck.
- Instead, test it on your neck before purchasing to ensure a perfect match.
- Don't chose an orange toned bronzer. Actually, I don't recommend a bronzer at all. Most are a little orange and honestly, you may look a little like an oompaloompa.
- Instead, when purchasing something used for contour purposes, go to the powder section of the makeup isle and grab a color that is either 2 or 3 shades darker than your normal color. (If you don know what contouring or bronzing is for-- you can add the color to your cheek bones, temples and jawline to slim down the appearance of your face.)
- Don't use too much blush. You may look like you just ran a marathon.
- Instead, use a tiny bit (of a light pink color) and sweep it from the apples of your cheeks all the way across. You want more of a healthy glow rather than red cheeks.
Eyebrows
- Dont "square" your eyebrows when filling them in.
- Instead, only fill in bare spots with an angled brush using upward diagonal strokes, so it looks more natural and not like you used a crayon.
- Dont use any color much darker than your hair color...you saw the pictures, it looks completely ridiculous.
- Instead only choose a color that is 1 shade darker.
Lips
- Dont wear a bold color on your lips if you have bold eye makeup.
- Instead, do one or the other.
- Dont wear too much, as you saw it can smudge and look not so pretty.
- What I like to do, is only put the color on my bottom lip and smack 'em together..then kiss some toilet paper. Honestly it looks much better (:
