Tip-full Tuesday!

Hello Lovelies!
Congratulations - you made it through Monday! To reward such, I have decided to start up "Tip-full Tuesday" - you're reward for making it through the dreaded Monday after a fun filled weekend.

To kick it off, I'm going to let you in on a few tips to prevent eyeshadow and eye liner fall out. I have received this particular question many times over the past few months; from brides, high school girls, models and designers. With the warm weather fast approaching, I anticipate the question being asked even more.

To prevent shadow fall out -
*Prep your eyelid with a base - primer is best (TooFaced Shadow Insurance, MAC Prep & Prime Eye, Sephora Eye Primer....) If you don't have a primer, foundation works as well
*Using a sponge, dab powder under your eyes - but do not blend in
*When picking up shadow with your brush, give it a  little shake to get rid of excess shadow before applying to your lid. This will help drastically with preventing shadow from falling beneath your eyes!

To prevent liner from falling or melting -
*After applying liner, use a powder eyeshadow to match the color of your liner to set it - especially important  if using a gel or pencil liner. Use an eyeliner (bent liner or angled liner) brush and retrace the liner. This will set it, making it less likely to move, fall, or "melt" throughout the day.

Finish off with a spritz of MAC Fix+ or Urban Decay's All Nighter (if you don't have either, and can handle the smell - hair spray will have the same effect...just don't use a max hold or you'll feel as if your face is glued in place).
