Here are some make up tips that i ave someone else. They said that these were helpful. And it was voted best answer.





FOUNDATION:





When selecting the correct foundation shade, apply the two closest possible shades across the cheek. The shade that appears to melt into the skin, leaving no visible trace will be the correct shade.


Avoid trying to determine the correct shade by testing on the neck or forearm, as the skin will be a different colour and texture to that on the face.


If you require an ';in between'; combination of 2 shades, either customise your own colour from the 2 shades or to go with the slightly lighter shade. Colour may always be altered and corrected with a dusting of Australis Bronzing Powder.


Outdoor lighting will provide the best and most natural indicator of the correct shade required. Often harsh fluorescent light can give a false result


For best results, apply Australis brush on, liquid, mousse or compact foundation onto a freshly moisturised and primed skin. Start at the center of the face, gradually working outwards.


A moist sponge will provide the lightest coverage, whilst a foundation brush, dry sponge or fingers will provide an adaptable coverage.


For a more natural result, only apply foundation where needed.


For increased coverage, reapply over required areas or alternatively use Australis Concealer or Liquid Concealer Pen to hide stubborn imperfections.


Finish with a setting of the appropriate Australis Loose or Pressed PoFoundation will always remain fresher looking and be longer lasting if the skin is first prepared with Australis Primer.


For a natural look, always match the Australis foundation shade closest to the natural skin tone. Choosing a darker foundation to create a bronzed effect will only make the skin look muddy and unnatural. Use Australis Bronzing Powder to create a sun-kissed effect.


Always blend foundation in the direction of the skin's grain or any fine down hair growth on the face. Generally this means in an across and downwards motion for most skins. Blending foundation upward will not only accentuates the fine hairs, but also increases the appearance of pore size.


Unless a heavily made-up look is required, avoid using foundation all over the face. Focus on the center of the face and blend outwards, focusing on any areas of imperfections.


Blend, Blend, Blend to avoid streaks and tide marks along the jaw line. For a natural result, foundation ideally should not be applied to the neck or any lower than the chin and jaw line.


For longer lasting eye and lip make-up, always apply a light layer of foundation to the eyelids and lips as the ideal base for eyeshadow and lipstick.

CONCEALER:


Australis bullet form Concealer provides richer and more precision coverage to conceal stubborn imperfections such as blemishes and pigmentation.


Australis Liquid Concealer Pen provides a subtler, light reflecting coverage that is ideal to conceal dark under eye circles, fatigue and signs of aging.


The object is to colour correct the area rather than cover. This step is to be done UNDER the appropriate Australis foundation.


For dark under eye circles and bruising, it is recommended to apply Australis Liquid Concealer Pen or Concealer one shade lighter than the natural skin colour. This will counterbalance any darkness.


For redness, select a colour closest to the natural skin tone for best results.


Simply apply with warm fingertips, cotton bud or concealer brush and blend until the required area is colour neutral. Apply Australis foundation over the top.





ETC:





Make sure to always not only match your colour choice of blush close to your natural skin tone, but also to compliment your colour choice of eye shadow and lip colour. Co-ordination is the key!


Only apply blush to the cheek area, never on the forehead or chin - this will only make your face look red and irritated. For an all over colour, use Bronzing Powder.


A powder blush formulation is a better option for extremely oily skins to maintain a matt finish.


Avoid using highlighter or cream blush over bumpy areas of the skin (such as pimples or scars), it will only accentuate the imperfection.





LIPS:


For perfect, pout perfection every time, prepare the lip area for a long lasting result using the appropriate Australis Foundation or Concealer. Using the natural lipline as a guide, apply Australis Lip Pencil or Stayput Long-Lasting Retractable Lipliner from the middle of the lips outwards, starting at the cupid's bow. Apply Australis Colour Max, Moisture Intense or Liquid Shine Lipstick either from the tube or for a more precision application, using a lipbrush. If desired, finish with an application of a similarly shaded Australis Lipgloss. For a sheerer effect, Australis Lipgloss or Plumptastic may be worn alone over lined lips.





NAILS:





Onto a clean and grease-free nail, firstly apply a coat of Australis Top and Base Coat, followed by 1-2 coats of Australis NGirls-help please!What make up tips can I use to look better in photos?I always look awful in pics?
