Don't match your makeup to your clothing.
Rather, choose a shade that complements your complexion, but "goes with" your outfit.

Always keep eyebrows groomed.
They are the most important feature on your face—they provide a "frame" for your eyes.

Always apply makeup in natural light
e.g. near a window. Indoor lighting casts a yellowish hue on your face and shifts the actual look of your makeup shades.

Clean your makeup brushes at least once a week,
if you use them everyday. Just use a mild soap and water.
|
 |
|
 |
 |
 |
 |
Focus your makeup on only one feature at a time. Choose between your eyes and lips: if you're going for a smokey eye look, go for a neutral lip. If you want bold red lips, try a light shimmery or nude shadow on eyelids.

Always carry a lip gloss. Even at the of the end day, when most of your makeup may have come off, adding a little gloss to lips will make your look complete.

The perfect blush shade is the color of your cheeks when they're flushed.

Keep your hands off your face.
You don't realize how dirty even your fingertips can get.

It's almost never a good idea to match your eye shadow to your eye color.
Light-color eyes are best enhanced by darker shades like Brown and Black. However, Eye shadow looks for darker eye colors are more versatile—try lighter shades to "open-up" eyes, and darker shades for a more intense look.
