There are so many tips and tricks out that will change the way you apply your makeup, some of them you would never have even thought of yourself but once you've tried them, you can't understand how you never knew about them sooner!

Here are a few of my favourite tips for applying makeup, which have quite literally changed my life!

1) Put your foundation on after doing your eye makeup. This way it is easier to clean and cover up if any mistakes you may make, without ruining your base as well as making it easier to clean up any fallout from eyeshadows.

2) If you struggle to find a foundation light enough for your pale skin or have accidentally bought a foundation which is too dark for you, buy a white foundation. Add one pump to your foundation on the back of your hand (a little more if needed) to lighten the colour before applying.

3) Apply lip balm before doing your makeup, most of us do our lips last so by the time you come to this, the lip balm will have had chance to soak in and your lips will be much smoother, making it easier to apply products.

4) Put highlighter on your cupids bow to makeup your lips look much more fuller, plumper and more defined.

5) Make your eyeliner last all day by 'setting' your liquid or pencil liner with an eyeshadow of the same or very similar colour.

6) Using a highlighting pen to conceal and illuminate your under eyes, instead of your usual concealer will make you appear much more awake.

I hope you find some of these tips useful, feel free to share any which you make know of in the comments!
