The one thing that I think is a must when it comes to applying make-up is highlighting the inner corners of your eye. It simply brightens up your face and gives you that extra shine. :) The eyeshadows by Sportsgirl are great for that, especially because they are so pigmented!

Applying Bronzer as well as Blush is my favourite part of my make up routine. A must must must is contouring cheekbones. I use the Sportsgirl 'Oh my goddess bronzer' which is applied flawlessly with the small kabuki bronzing brush by Sportsgirl! To add an extra touch use the blush by Sportsgirl (I use the coral colour) on the apples of your cheeks (or whatever colour suits your skin tone) and it'll make you appear soft and sweet along with your beautifully contoured cheeks. The colours of the bronzer and blush really compliment each other! xx

My make up tip is that i wear black mascara on my top lashes and brown on the bottom, this makes them look more natural and simple for when you dont want something to edgy. Also i love to use invisible zinc cheek balm on my lips, it adds a great natural colour in winter or on dull summer days while at the same time keeping your lips protected from the UV rays ;)

also applying eyeshadow with a wet brush for more intense color or using vasaline or pawpaw as a illuminater or eyeshadow if u r really tanned

A few tips i would recommend, would be to make sure that your lip liner is only from Germany- then you know it's the best quality. Also keep it in the fridge when your not using it, so it doesn't run or ruin, as the proper ones are really delicate.
Another is, if you have or are planning to buy red lipstick- make sure that it's blue based and not orange. If it is orange based it's more likely that it will make your teeth look yellow, whereas the blue based ones do not. So you can look gorgeous and not like you haven't brushed your teeth for a week! (yuck!!!)
Good luck!

Just slightly leave your eyes open and do apply small strokes of eye liner on the bottom of the eye lid. When you stretch your eyes out it increases the chance of getting premature wrinkles.

Another tip is when applying black eyeliner on the bottom rim of your eyes, keep in mind that it makes your eyes appear smaller. Try applying white eye liner in the waterline to make your eyes pop out.

Also, applying eyebrow pencil to your eyebrows defines your eyebrows even more. Every girl needs this to fill in any spaces between eye brows. Apply small feathery strokes to make it look natural.

Make sure you know what colours and shades suit your skin tone, and highlight your best features. My favourite is dark, alluring eyes. Start with a heavy line of black kohl and smudge it with your pinkie finger. Follow up with black and other dark eye shadow tones, depending on your mood. Stick a little white eye shadow in the inner corners of your eye for an extra boost and top it off with a thick coat of mascara.
Quite sure that'll give you eyes to remember!
