More likely we have all seen someone who needed a little help with their makeup skills and maybe a few whose makeup made them a little bit scary.  I am once guilty of that but I have improved and just want to share a few tips I've learned myself and a few my girl friends shared.

1.  When it comes to blush, more is better.

False:  Too much blush is bad. The key is making it look very natural rather than you having people think your cheeks are doubling as stoplights.  Choose a blush that has a peachy pink shade.  This hue will look great on anyone and will natural on your cheeks.

2.  Use a foundation that is one shade lighter or darker than your skin tone.

True:  Women sometimes choose a foundation that is the wrong color for their skin.  The key is making sure you find a color that matches the rest of your skin tone.  Pick a color that seems to disappear into your skin.  This will ensure that you look natural instead of like you painted your face.

3.  It's perfectly ok to use a dark lipliner.

False:  Unless you want to appear as if you were just sipping hot chocolate, you should stay away from lipliners that are too dark.  It sticks out and leaves a ring around your lips unless you wear an equally dark lipstick.  Choose a lighter color.

4.  Always blend the eyeliner and eye shadow.

True:  One thing you want to avoid when putting on makeup is the appearance of lines.  You don't want to look like you drew or painted your face again, right?  One way to do it right is to blend, blend and blend.  Make sure you blend your foundation down your neck so you do not have lines around your face. 

5.  Don't sleep with your makeup still on.

True:  Another makeup mistake to avoid is going to sleep with the whole thing still on.  Make sure that you wash it off.  If you leave your makeup on all night, not only will it get on your sheets, but will also clog your pore which can lead to breakouts.

Even though preggers and all, I still make it a point to put a little blush and a lip gloss once in a while but as I see myself in the mirror,I tend to look more in my growing belly and become amaze at the life inside it and when I see m face, it seems I'm emanating a different glow, a glow that  even my most-can't live makeup accessory can't give.
