How to make your eyes pop?

Want your eyes to be the focal point of your makeup look? And want them to pop and be super noticable?

Prime your eyes with a cream shadow in subtle pearl (for lighter skin) or gold (for darker skin)

To add bold color:
Fair Skin - lavender or icy blue
Warm Skin - orange or coral
Dark Skin - candy floss pink or lime

Since your eyes are bold you only want to play up only one other area on the face.

I would rather go for a bolder blush or bronzer and use a neutral lip color.

Don't forget to apply several coats of mascara.

I hope this helps you have gorgeous eyes.

How to do a light summer foundation?

I came up with this because I don't want my Benefit Some Kind-A Gorgeous Foundation to be used up too fast. Go check out that vid on my youtube page. It tells you how good that product is. Also in the summer, you don't want heavy coverage.

Here are the steps:
1. Wash your face
2. Moisturize your face
3. Wait 1 min for the moisturizer to sink into your skin
4. Apply Tinted Moisturizer
- use a pea size for each cheek and a split a pea size for all of forhead nose and chin
- use a big fluffy brush and apply the moisturizer in circular motion
- make sure you don't apply too much or else it gets oily
- you just want a bit of color

5. Apply powder
- use a big fluffy brush to gently go over your whole face in a circular motion
- I use Almay Clear Complexion Pressed Powder
- I think it works better with loose powder
- I recommend Almay.. google it up

So why don't I just use the tinted moisturizer to moisturize my face?
- That is cuz it doesn't work well to moisturize the face
