Do's:
1. BLEND: foundation, eyeliner, eyeshadow, concealer, blush,
2. PRACTICE: If you can't succeed , just never give up keep on trying
3. EYEBROWS: Do shape your eyebrows, it gives the face a better look.

DONT:
1. RIGHT SHADE: Whether this be foundation, or contouring products ensure that they have the right undertone for you or your clients complexion
2. SHARING: Don't share eyeliners, Brushes etc, unless it's 100 % disinfected
3. PIMPLES: Don't ever pop pimples, as they leave pit holes. You better off to be patient and leave them alone

Do change eye looks to compliment your eye shape.
Do what makes you happy. But if you ask for criticism don't get defensive if someone suggests something different.
Do get a haircut (not really a makeup tip but we get a lot of questions about split ends). This is the only way to get rid of split ends and keeps it from traveling farther up the shaft.

Don't take youtubers' words as law.
Don't pump your mascara, it pushes air in the tube.
Don't use Vaseline, especially around the eyes. Clogs pores.

Do
-prep and prime, it makes such a difference
-mascara and curl lashes always it makes you look awake without needed a full face
-always have nails done, Your a girl you deserve it (;

don't
-bronzer for contouring is no no. girls get that through your head!
-just because a girl on YT had 200,000 subbies doesn't make her a certified professional. don't always take their advice or information.
-stop with the diy making hair /lashes grow. keep hair and body healthy and hydrated and it will do what its supposed to do.

I agree with every single one of you!

Mine that haven't been mentioned yet.

Do:
-Apply eyeshadow primer. Eyeshadow will not have even half the payoff without it.
-Set creams or liquids with powder. Especially under eye concealer. The staying powder will be stronger and it prevents creasing.
-Chose a liner that suits your eyes. Not everybody is meant to wear winged liner.

-Don't:
-use water to wet your brush and apply eyeshadow. I've been doing it for years and I learned it does nothing. Just makes it harder to build. Use eye drops or a makeup spray.
-Overly fill in your brows. If you have naturally thin brows, work that shape. Don't be ashamed and draw on Drake brows to hide them!
-forget the lower lash line. That lower lash line with eyeshadow, mascara and liner makes all the difference. Makes it look more complete.

Do: Hydrate, eat well, exercise.
Don't: Tug at the delicate eye area, Be a slave to trends, Use anything but 100% cotton on your skin.

Do:
- Wear makeup for yourself,not for anybody else.
- Love how you look and know that makeup is used for creativity and to enhance the natural beauty that you possess.
- Do research, and be willing to learn new techniques to better your understanding, and skill.

Don't:
- Overapply. Don't use it to cover up your features, but those are what make you beautiful and unique.
- Allow yourself to reach an overly unheathly state. Take care of yourself.
- Don't apply makeup that is to dark or too light. Always find what looks best on you and makes you happy.

Some are kind of deep but oh well...:)))

DO wear makeup however the heck you want to. If you want to put your eyeshadow up to your browbone, then do it. If you want a face caked with foundation (like me!) then do it! It's YOUR face! :-)
DO try new things. I'm known for a contoured face, dark eye and nude lip. Recently I've been wearing blush and wearing terracotta shades on my lips and I love it.
DO invest in your products. Your face is the first thing people see. I say if you're going to do it, do it right. Most of us are on a budget but sometimes budget shopping is a waste. I spent countless dollars looking for the perfect nude lipgloss and because I was on a budget- I shopped at drugstores. All the glosses I bought were either too sticky, didn't last, etc. If I would have just invested in a quality lipgloss to begin with- I would have saved a lot of time and hassle.

DON't share makeup with your girlfriends. It's not rude, it's not stingy. It's a safety precaution.
DON't limit your products to what the label says. I love using bronzers as eyeshadows and shimmery champagne shadows as cheek highlights.
DON't let anyone bring you down about your makeup, your cake face, your anything. Just bat those stacked lashes and blow them a perfectly glossed kiss.
