Long lasting makeup tips

1. Get gorgeous lashes all day! Heat up an eyelash curler with a blow dryer, then (carefully!) crimp your lashes twice: once in the middle, once near the tips.

2. Layering is the key to lasting makeup from fundation to blush. The most important thing when applying the layers is to have a light touch. This keeps your look fresh and natural.

3. For lasting foundation, apply cream or liquid formulas with a sponge only to areas of your face that really need it- avoid a "makeup mask" ! Next, apply loose powder with a puff for more control.

4. Add volume to your lashes by dipping a shadow brush in loose translucent powder, closing one eye at a time, and dusting the tops of your lashes. Mascara applied over powder will last longer.

5. To make lipstick last longer, first apply a thin layer of fundation to lips. Line and fill in your whole mouth with a neutral lip pencil. Apply one coat of lipstick, blot, then finish with a light layer of gloss.

6. For lasting eye makeup, first use a sheer, neutral-colored powder shadow as base. Next, apply liner, followed by another light layer of powder eye shadow. Apply one coat of mascara, allow it to dry, the apply another coat.

7. If you are having trouble with flaky lashes, try applying a coat of eyelash primer before your mascara.

8. Before bronzing or self-tanning, always smooth skin by exfoliating and remember to shave your legs, even if you`re a blonde. Peach colored fuzz ? No thanks .
