The most common mistakes women make when applying makeup are not applying it in the proper light and not using their hands as blending tools.
Elizabeth Taylor taught me that if you do your hair and makeup first then take a hot bath right before you leave, it brings out your inner glow and takes away the powdery look from makeup. I do that right before every date.
I like the big smoky eyes look, and I always do my eyes first when I'm putting on my make-up.
My advice is don't scrub your makeup off your eyes; be gentle.
Keep your brow game on point and always pack a lip gloss.
The best beauty trick I've learned is "less is best." For example, when I'm preparing to go out for the day, something as simple as putting some concealer underneath my eyes with a bit of highlighter automatically gives me a natural and fresh look. If I do that with a little bronzer, then I'm good to go for the day.
Makeup is the finishing touch, the final accessory.
I've learned pretty much everything from mom. She's taught me a lot about just taking care of yourself - skin care, great makeup tricks. She's very good at putting together that very effortless-style look.
When I'm onstage, I have to have primer. Actually, the more primer, the less makeup I have to put on.
Nobody is the color of translucent powder. Instead, choose a powder that matches your skin tone.
To reinvent a newly impeccable you in the most modern of outfits, don't skip on makeup and be sure to have flawless skin and hair. That will have more impact than expensive clothes.
The most versatile lipstick you can own is a shade that's just a bit brighter than your natural lip color.
I much prefer a natural approach to beauty. You know, Coco Chanel always said to take one thing off before you leave the house, and I think that also applies to makeup.
Joy is the best makeup. But a little lipstick is a close runner-up.
Don't overpluck your eyebrows. A make-up artist told me this once, and I've always remembered it.
Whenever I do my own makeup, I usually only do foundation, bronzer, and mascara.
Less is more when you do a bright, bold lip. Just draw on black liner and some mascara and you're good to go!
In the day, I wear mascara and tinted moisturiser - although I've learnt that if I'm getting my photograph taken, it's better to apply more; otherwise, I look really, really tired.
Some people think wearing powder ages them, but try it anyway. For me it mattes my makeup and blends it well.
Really, personally, makeup is cool to wear less and light on the eye and just go colorful on the lips.
If you're wearing smoky eye makeup, a little beige or gold pencil on the inner eye corners will open up the area, but you only want to do it if the shadow is really dark. Otherwise, light pencil makes your eyes look too far apart, like a fish.
I think, being surrounded by professional makeup artists and hairdressers, you pick up little tips and trends.
I've been using makeup since I was ten years old. I've learned a lot of do's and don'ts over the years. But one would definitely be that you should do your makeup for the occasion.
Beauty secrets are meant to be shared with the world!
The early bird might catch the worm, but I bet it also needs a ton of under eye concealer
