For a while I have been wanting to concentrate on Make-Up section but got delayed for various reasons.For the most of my life,I did not apply make up nor did I know how to apply make up. I watched for some tutorials and started experimenting and finally got a hold of it. It is quite simple once you get your techniques right.Everybody has insecurities when it comes skin,like me I have my acne issues.Make-up makes you look smart and confident and not to forget beautiful.

Points to Remember:
- Always use Non-Comedogenic Make up which does not break you out.
- To help you choose correct shades you can visit beauty counters or Health& Glow outlets.
- Test the shade on your face rather than on hand and under white(fluorescent) lights not yellow(incandescent) lights. Wear it few hours to see if suits your skin and how long it lasts.
- Choose foundations according to low/medium/high coverage.
- Wear your clothes and cover yourself with a towel before you apply make up.
- Do not rub the concealer,just dab them on the spot.
- Concealer can be used before/after foundation as per your choice.
- For High coverage to cover up acne scars,concealer can be used twice i.e before+after foundation.
- Use a primer or setting spray to help make up last longer.
- I prefer brushes to sponges/puff.
- If you use fingers to blend foundation/concealer,make it point to wash your hands beforehand.
- Opt for water proof or smudge proof eye/lip make up.
- Never sleep with your make up on.
- Always remove your make up using non-comedogenic make up remover like Bioderma Sensibio H20/Colorbar Make up remover for oily skin.
- Wash all make up brushes,accesories atleast once a week.
