Face Makeup Tricks

The products I talk about are available at drug stores at sale prices to create a Naturally Pretty, Everyday look that is Inexpensive, Classy, and Easy for Every Girl to apply! These Products are all less than 10$ each, affordable in the College Girls Budget! Theres no reason buying high priced items at a cosmetic counter, where prices of Products can be nearly double or triple drug store prices! Being Financially Responsible is just as Important as being Beautiful, and Being Yourself!

 Face Wash:  Apply makeup to a Clean Face! Always take your makeup off at night to avoid blemishes! 

*Philosophy’s Purity Foaming 3-in-1 Cleansing Gel. This even removed my waterproof mascara without too much foam in my eyes! The smell reminded me of a witch hazel. The 3 oz size is 10$, available at Sephora.

1. TIP: Always ask for Samples at cosmetic stores and counters (like Sephora, Ulta, Clinique, MAC) don’t leave without one!

Mascara: Buy Your Favorite Mascara on Sale! Get extra of ones you like to keep in a drawer for Back-Up In your Make Up Collection Mascara EXPIRES the fastest of all makeup! Throw it out after 2 or 3 months.

1. TIP: Keep Mascara, and All of your Makeup in a bag in a cool-dry place. Don’t let it heat up in your Car, or Over-Pump the wand to expose Product to air! These things help Eye-Infection causing BACTERIA to get into your makeup, and that can get into your eye! Gross! If it has a bad smell- it is a sign to throw it out and get a fresh new one! Also; Practice good Makeup Hygiene—! (Possible Topic for Next Video?)

**Maybelline’s Colossal Volum’ Express Mascara (7.77, amazon.com. 4.89, sale at Harmon’s) In Classic Black & Glam Brown. The wide bristles on the brush help catch all of the lashes! The colors are very similar.

1. TIP: Apply & Let It DRY! Applying one ‘coat’ of mascara to the lashes and letting them dry; waiting before applying another coat helps keep lashes clump-free and naturally pretty! Less is more!

*Almay 1 Coat Dial-Up in 02 Black (8.49, Amazon.com. 5.99, Sale at Harmon’s) Almay is a Cruelty Free Brand! The wand on this is the new-Style Rubber-Kind. The bristles are shorter and get close to the root of the lash for a thin application and it looks just cool and scientific! 

1. TIP: Use this mascara when you’re wearing eye shadow! If you put Eye shadow on before Mascara, the Wand on this gets very close to the root of your lash, with the short bristles it wont cross over and leave black Product where it doesn’t belong!

Eye Pencils & Eye Markers NYX Haul

*NYX Long-lasting Eyebrow Makers (Harmon’s 9.99) I Cant Live Without These! They only come in two shades, though! "Medium" the lighter brown & “Deep" the darker brown. They are the same shape as the Super-Skinny Eye Marker in Carbon Black (9.99, Harmon’s) So, These Eyebrow Makers are Multi-Purpose as Eyeliners!

1. TIP: The Shape of the entire tool makes applying winged-eyeliner in a pinch. It is like drawing with a marker the exact shape you want, and it isn’t a clumping or thick product- it completely embodies the name “Marker" it looks light and natural.  

*NYX Slide On Glide On Eyeliner Pencil in Pure White (7.99, Ulta.com) Apply Product gently to the inner corner of the eye, with a freshly sharpened tip to make Eyes Pop! This is a thin pencil! Many people use the NYX Jumbo Milk Pencil for this eye-brightening technique (4.49, Ulta.com) That is a thick pencil! BUT: What is the Difference Between the Thicknesses of the Pencils? The Slide On is more Bangs for your Buck! As a Wood pencil, I can sharpen it—- Keeping it hygienic. It can last up to 3 YEARS! Sadly, The Jumbo Pencil isn’t really a Pencil at all because it’s body is Plastic! You can’t sharpen it, and there is barely any Product at all! It’s a *Womp* to me.

1. TIP: Brightening the eye with light is a helpful trick after a *Wild Night Out* to liven sleepy eyes and make them bright!

*NYX Eye Brow Shaper(4.49, Ulta) It’s just a Clear Wax pencil to slick Stray Brows in place! This is a thick pencil. 

1. TIP: Apply Last! If you apply this Product before Filling in your Brows, no Product will Stick to Skin over Wax! 

Thick & Thin Wood Pencil Sharpening is essential to good makeup applications! Every Girl needs a Dual-Sized Makeup Sharpener in her Kit! Don’t Ever Use an Average Graphite-Pencil Sharpener with your Make Up! It is Un-Hygienic! Instead of buying the special NYX 2-in1 Sharpener (4.49, Ulta.com) I found a plain duo-sharpener in Harmon’s on sale for a buck! (Okay, I lied! 1.19 before tax!)

TIP: Put pencils in a cold place, like the Refrigerator before sharpening, along with the sharpener! It helps keep the product solid to avoid Breaking inside the Pencil! Always clean the Sharpener. If the tip of the Pencil tip breaks inside the Sharpener make sure to completely clean out the entire left over product to get a clean and sharp point on your tool. Applying making with Dull Points on Tools Makes A Sloppy Application and therefore Less Pretty Makeup!

Lips: 

*EOS Pink Strawberry Sorbet (3.49, Ulta.com / 2.99 Harmon’s/ 1.99 Sale at Harmon’s) It’s Clear and Plain when you look at it and comes in a variety of different colors! All the products are identically moisturizing and flavorful!

TIP: Price-Check before buying Lip Balm or other products that are sold more generically at many stores. Each store’s List Price and Sales are different!
