Makeup 072

1. Wash your face. If you use a cleansing soap, make sure that whatever you're using does not contain any harsh chemicals, like peroxyl, for an example. If you use a towel, pat, and not wipe, unless you absolutely need to.

2. Apply a liquid foundation (or a powder foundation for a more natural look) that is the color of your skin tone. If it's too dark, you'll look too orange. If it's too light...well, you get the idea. BLEND EVENLY EVERYWHERE. Nothing looks worse than unblended makeup. Apply a loose powder (again, the color of your skin tone) over your foundation. You have to blend evenly for this as well.

3. Apply an eyelid primer if you'd like; this is optional. Take a shimmery silver eyeshadow and apply it not only on your eyelid, but above your eyelid crease up to directly below your eyebrows.

4. If you want upper lashes like Miss Taylor, use a lash curler; this is optional. Take a black stilletto mascara and apply one coat. Give that coat 5-10 seconds to dry. Do this 4-5 more times. Be sure to give each coat some time to dry! For your lower lashes, take a normal, non-curling black mascara. Apply 2-3 coats. Give this time to dry as well!

5. Take a black cream eyeliner and heavily apply it almost over your entire eyelid. Notice that I said ALMOST. As long as you make sure that the eyeliner does not reach your eyelid crease, you should be fine. When applying your black cream eyeliner, also move slightly outward from your eyelid, to make something like a winged look to your eyes. It sounds hard, but it really isn't, as long as you know what you're doing.

6. Apply a light pink blush and apply it on the apples of your cheeks. If you do not know where your apples are, smile, as this best defines them.

7. Apply a chapstick.

8. Apply a fuschia pink lipstick. Then, take a fragment of tissue or toilet paper and put your lips around it for 4-5 seconds. This gets rid of excess lipstick, because you sure don't want that!

9. Make sure everything looks okay.

10. You're done, and enjoy looking like Taylor Swift!
