* Less is always more. What people need to remember that when it comes to make up, the old saying stays true, “less is always more.” Keep your mascara and eye liner to a minimum, just enough to highlight your eyes. Brush on some blush that is sufficient to give your cheeks that rosy glow and likewise, put on lipstick at a bare minimum. When putting the lipstick on check that they are on your lips, not your teeth, on your cheeks or on the sleeves of your dress. Make sure to blend in your blush with the color of your lipstick. Too much makeup might end up you looking like a clown and that definitely does not paint a pretty picture.
