MAKEUP SECRETS:
Growing up watching women on T.V looking flawless in their makeup, with out a dent or flaw on the covers of magazines, I didn't consider Photoshop or how pictures can be exploited to give out an image that simply does not exist. Its one thing to look like barbie in a picture but Wecka flocka in reality, here are tips on how to take that photo shopped finish into your day to day life using make-up. Bare again in mind that make up is meant to enhance and compliment your natural feature, so it's important to know just how to apply it best.
We live in a time were make up Technics can slim your nose, widen your eyes and make you look like a vision of perfection. Do remember that while makeup is ideal for coverage, good skin is it's foundation. While it can hide blemishes, it cant hide pimple so make sure to take care of your skin-dietary and regime wise.
Here are 8 simple steps to achieving that airbrushed look:

1.

APPLY PRIMER

After you moisturize, spread on a light primer with silica, which has a filling effect. A foundation that's creamy and moisturizing won't settle into fine lines and wrinkles, but use it sparingly—the more you add, the more pronounced lines will look. 

2.

PICK FOUNDATION WISELY

Choose a liquid foundation with silicone. Avoid luminous or matte ones (they make the skin appear either too moist or too flat to be natural), and instead look for the words "lightweight," "sheer," or "invisible." Some lightweight foundations won't mask every flaw, though. 

3.

FIND YOUR SHADE

To find a foundation that matches your complexion, test the color on your neck. Your skin tone is more uniform there than it is on your face, so you'll wind up with a shade that's just right. You'll also avoid that dreaded demarcation along the jawline.

4. 

APPLY SPARINGLY

Dab on six dime-size dots of foundation: two on your forehead, one each on the tip and along the sides of your nose, and the last on your chin. Using two fingers, spread the color over your forehead, down your nose, across your cheeks, over your chin, and along the sides of your face. Always blend down or sideways—never up—to prevent foundation from catching in peach fuzz.

5.

USE YOUR FINGERS

Blend the liquid toward the perimeter of your face. It will get sheerer as you move closer to your hairline and jaw, preventing any harsh lines.

6.

DIFFUSE WITH A SPONGE

Tap a clean, damp makeup sponge around the nose, over wrinkles, and anywhere your base is noticeable to remove excess that could crease or emphasize lines. TheBeautyBlender's pointed end gets around your nose; its oval base is perfect elsewhere.

7.

HIDE IMPERFECTIONS

• With a fine-tipped brush, dab a solid concealer over blemishes or dark spots that are still visible. Laura Mercier Secret Camouflage comes with two shades you can blend.
• Get rid of redness with a yellow-based foundation, such as Clinique Redness Solutions Makeup. Smooth it over any discoloration with your fingers, and then blur the edges with a damp makeup sponge.
• Hide undereye circles with a creamy formula, such as Maybelline New York Fit Me! Foundation,tapping it on with your ring finger.

8.

POWDER YOUR NOSE (AND YOUR CHEEKS, AND YOUR FOREHEAD...)

Dip a large, fluffy brush in loose translucent powder. (We like Dior DiorSkin Matte and Luminous Hydrating Loose Powder.) Tap off excess and dust powder where you tend to get shiny.
