Steps of Aplying Makeup - Some Makeup Tips

The process of putting on makeup must always start with clean skin. There is no point in putting makeup on skin that already has yester day's makeup on it-first because you will only clog up your pores and hurt your skin, and second because the makeup will cake and blotch and may look strange and unflattering on last night's leftovers. So, please, don't carry your face over from day to day.

How to Apply Make up

secret to a natural, flawless look
