always remove eye mu.
She taught me to pluck my eyebrows in the direction of growth (after I messed up my right inner eyebrow–it’s still farked 20 years later!!!)
My mom taught me that cheap lipstick is as good as the expensive kind–but I’ve since taught myself that it’s not (necessarily) true!
My mum advised me to cut my eyelashes off, “it might make them grow faster and longer!” Which I obediently followed, two weeks before my prom night! (Thankfully they did grow back at a reasonable speed, though I’m not sure about longer!)
She taught me not to over-pluck my eyebrows as eyebrows that are too thin are not appealing.
She taught me that less is best.
Make sure your mascara does not give you raccoon eyes
My mom didn’t teach me anything except always care about my skin.
My mother was the first person that showed me rice based loose powder.
My mother taught me to use witch hazel as a natural toner!
My mom taught me that smudgy mascara is not a good look for me. :X
always use lipbalm!
My mom taught me too much eyeliner makes me look gothic.. haha! This was back in sixth grade.
My mother told me to clean my face before to go to bed without make up !
Thank you
My mom taught me how to put blush on the apples of my cheeks.
applying bronzer =)
Usually my mother comes to me for all things makeup related, but what I have learnt from her is to only use as much foundation as it takes to make the skin tone even/hide discoloration – less is more. This technique makes you look your best and very natural at any age!
My mom hardly wore any makeup day to day. But, I have such an early memory of her getting ready to go out with my dad on a “date night”, and she always wore lipstick. She taught me that lipstick is all you need to make a look “evening”.
I learned that if you want to wear glitter you should consider carefully where, how and what kind/quality you place on your face
My mom taught me not to pluck my eyebrows to thin,and to always take off my make up before going to bed.
my mom taught me that face is a very important thing and use the right products. Back then when i was in high school i have a lot of pimples and she was the one who encourages me to go to the dermatologist.
My mom taught me that less is usually more when it comes to makeup.
My mom told me to never use an oil based foundation/concealer or it would cause be to break out. Sound advice!
I learned to always wear sunscreen.
Natural look is the beauty.
Don’t over doing any~
My my taught me the powder trick to make lipsticks last longer on the lips: after you apply lipstick to your lips, put on some clear face powder (lightly), and then put another layer of the lipstick. Works like magic
My mom taught me that sunscreen is most important and made me slather it on before any makeup.
my mom told me to go to sleep earlier to help my skin out
Less is more.
Always wear sunscreen!
my mom taught me to always wash everything off! if im too lazy/don’t have time to give my oily face a full wash (this is only if i dont have foundation on), i use toner to get rid of oil fast =]
Never leave without sunscreen.
ha! My mother never wore makeup — I had to give her tips when she decided it was time to start filling in her eyebrows.
Taking her to the MAC counter was a lot of fun!
haha when I was young, my mother taught me about the eyelash curler.
However, I’ve grown up and now I teach her
She taught me to take it all off before bed…and to drink lots-n-lotsa water.
Mascara and eyeliner is all you need !
sunscreen sunscreen sunscreen
my mother taught to always wash my face before bed and moisturize to prevent premature aging.
use eyelash curler!
My mum always taught me to use colour sparingly on the face so. I’ve always stayed with neutral subtle looks for most of my makeup forays.
my mum taught me that less is more, and not to pile on too much makeup.
she taught me to dab on my eye cream instead of swiping.
egg white is a great natural mask
Put vaseline on dry feet and put on a pair of socks before bed! works like a charm! xo
My mom never really gave me any tips. I’m always teaching her things!
my mom always reminded me not to overpluck my brows and I finally started listening =P
refresh your makeup before your husband comes home so you’ll look your best for him.
Mommy taught me that too much glitter is a no go awful look!
I teach her.
I wish I could think of more things my mom taught me, or that I taught her, but I can’t…well, I suppose I will repeat–Cold Cream is too heavy for my oily skin!
