    Take out all your makeup products. Throw out the broken products, those past the expiry date or the ones you have not used in a long time. Get some clear drawer organizers with different compartments. Put similar makeup products together. For example, put all the eyeshadows in one of the compartments and the lipsticks in another. Always put the makeup back to its original position after use.

    You can gently wipe the excess makeup away from the face with a fan brush. Or use it to blend and diffuse a powdery makeup product on your face for a less dramatic look. You can apply blush, clay mask, or gel mask with it.

    What color of lipgloss will fit a dark-complexioned girl like me?
    Alanna Suzanne Snyder
    Community Answer
    Any color should work fine! Definitely go with the tone of your skin, though -- if you have a warmer skin tone, go for a warmer color like a warm pink, warm nude, etc., and if you have cooler skin then go for a cool pink, cool nude, etc. If you are unsure of your skin's tone or just don't care, just pick the colors you like the most and rock it!

    Apply a dark matte or shimmery eyeshadow that's close to your skin tone. Most of the time, these tutorials are written for lighter-skinned people, but darker-skinned people have to convert these light colors into darker ones that will work on their complexion.

    Yes, as unlike foundation, BB cream does not clog your pores, it hydrates the skin. Do make sure to wash it off every night and give your skin a chance to "breathe" once in a while.

    Do I have to put false eyelashes on my monolids?
    Community Answer
    You don't have to do anything! You can style yourself as you see fit. I have monolids as well, and I just curl my eyelashes or leave them alone and focus on eyeshadow. Personally, I don't think false eyelashes are worth the trouble.

    I would suggest a bold pink, red, or coral. You can opt for matte or high gloss, and you could even use a matching or darker lip liner for impact. If you have a bow mouth, definitely show it off; if you have thin lips, try a slightly lighter shade.

    Stick with a bb cream or tinted moisturizer, concealer, blush, clear mascara and tinted lip balm -- to be safe.
  • Question
    I don’t have foundation or eyeliner. Are there any substitutes?

    Community Answer
    If you have concealer, use it on places you want to cover such as dark circles, acne, redness, etc. Then set it with a loose or pressed powder, if you have one. For eyeliner, take a black, brown, navy, grey, or color of your choice eyeshadow on an angled brush, and then draw your wing.
