Expert Answer

You will want to identify the undertone of the complexion, as your foundation should match your undertone. In some cases, you will need two foundation colors. One for the center of the face and another for the outer edges of the face. Color match the lighter foundation to the apple of the cheeks, and color match the darker foundation to the jawline and chest. After, take a step back to make sure they blend in well.

Line really close to the eyelash roots, but not too close that it goes in your eye.

Question

How do you apply eyeliner with out messing it up?

MrCrowe

Community Answer

Try to find some eyeliner that is soft so it doesn't hurt your skin. You can try to put it as close to the lash line as possible first for some more gentle look. Practice makes perfect. You're going to get it done quicker every time.

Question

How to apply gel eyeliner cleanly? Any tips please?

Community Answer

Here's a weird hack you can share with friends: Use tape as a stencil for where you want the eyeliner to be. Apply the tape right underneath where you want the wing to be. Do not push down on your eye or hold the eyeliner in one place for too long as you glide it across your eyelid, it could make it look more chunky.
