  1. MYTH: I got an oily face,so I cannot use a liquid Foundation
    • TRUTH: Worry no more, because cosmetic companies have come up with their oil control liquid foundation. Though I got an oily face, I prefer using liquid foundations because it blends with your skin easily resulting to a more natural look.
    • TRICK NO 1: Look for a cosmetic brand which have an oil control liquid foundation.
    • TRICK NO 2: Apply more amount of setting powder on areas where oiliness usually occurs, such as,the nose and the forehead.

  3. MYTH: I must use a foundation lighter than my skin tone
    • TRUTH: Using a lighter shade of foundation will not achieve a natural look.It is better to choose a shade closest to your skin tone.
  4. MYTH: Women with big lips shall not use lipsticks with light shades
    • TRUTH: Women with big lips are often advised not to use lighter shades of lipsticks coz it will just highlight their big lips.The problem is, how can you use dark shades of lipsticks during summer when pop of pastel colors are in trend.Well,fret no more, because there’s a trick you can do to solve this dilemma.
    • TRICK NO 1: Use a concealer and trace your inner lip line to slim your lips. I found a perfect product for this dilemma. Use NYX Wonder Pencil, it is a concealer within a pencil stick,hence,allowing it’s user to trace the inner lip line easier.
    • TRICK NO 2: After which, use a lip liner pencil,one shade darker than your lipstick shade, this will give the illusion of a slimmer and thinner lips.
    • TRICK NO 3: Lastly, put a matte lipstick on your lips and avoid glossy lipstick for it will just emphasize the size of your lips.
  5. MYTH: Cheaper brands will not give you good results

Remember an expensive product may look lousy in your face if you don’t know how to apply it correctly. Hence, it’s wise to search for cosmetics that is less expensive but will give you nice results. I recommend you go and see the cosmetic lines of NYX, ELF, Maybelline and Avon. They got a wide range of nice products that could lasts for long hours.
