If, you want to change your look, you have to start out with your makeup. This means, it’s time to indulge in some spring cleaning of your makeup cabinet.

Out With The Old, In With The New
Before you stock up on new makeup products, throw out anything that is old, such as, out-of-date mascaras, dried-out eye shadows, spilt foundations and flaky lipsticks. Anything that has not been used for six months, or is past its sell-by-date, needs has to go.

The Right Tools
One cannot make a painting without the right sort of paintbrushes. Similarly, you cannot put on make-up without the right tools. There should be a pair of eyelash curlers, a mirror, an eye-shadow brush, a blusher brush, some tweezers and a nail file in every girl’s makeup bag. Get them quickly, if you don’t already have them.

Changing With The Seasons

Just like our wardrobe, makeup also changes with the seasons. In winter, make your eyes dark and smouldering, while your lip colour is vividly bright. Tone down things in summertime, keeping lips and eyes as natural as possible, tinted moisturiser instead of heavy foundation.

Make A List
Make a list of what you need to improve your skin and make-up, from clearing spots, dramatic eye make-up to highlighting cheekbones. List at least five things and make these your main objectives.

Try Out Your Friends’ Makeup
Get advice from your friends. Arrange an all girls night with Champagne and canapés, making sure everyone brings their make-up bag. Try out each other’s make-up and see what works well for you.

Add A Light
Don’t apply makeup in bad or the wrong light. You will only end up with over-rouged cheeks, smudged mascara or worse. Try and put your make-up on in a room with lots of natural light and a large mirror.

Consult An Expert
Ready for your new look? Choose a beauty brand you like and can afford. Then, head for the nearest makeup counter to talk to an expert. Ignore marketing gimmicks and buy only what you know highlights your best features and covers your flaws.
