Applying make up can be either a highly enjoyable or daunting task.   This podcast covers the basics from my experience working with some of the best make up artists in New Zealand on events and also having many discussions and instances of trial and error myself.  
My top 10 tips (as usual haha) are:
Moisturise first
Pay attention to your lighting and mirror 
Brushes are important - basics are: 
Eye shadow brush 
Blush brush 
Powder brush 


Brows next as they frame the face
Eye make up before foundation 
Base in colour that suits your skintone – cream, white, then a mid colour on centre and dark in C shape on corners 
Eye liner on upper lids 
Blend and clean up under the eyes afterwards


Mascara - For the longest lashes, start by applying mascara on the top lashes, and be sure to coat the entire lash. For a natural look, apply just one or two coats, but if you’re going for a bold look, apply a third. Bottom lashes only need one coat, regardless of how many coats you apply to the top
Foundation – always a skin match – persevere until it is right
Consider blending a couple to get right tone
Apply with a sponge or fingers for lighter look
Apply concealer 1st


Blush – cool or warm toned - it always feels heavy first off then settles 
Highlighter and powder to seal the deal
Lips – always last Before you do anything else, scrub the lips with a toothbrush to remove dead skin cells that result in a dry, cracked look. Use a lipliner that is just darker than the lipstick you plan to use. Whether you choose liquid or cream lipstick, pick a colour that works well with your skintone and clothes.  

Practice when you are not under pressure and enjoy the process!!
