When it comes to your beauty routine, sometimes you just want someone to sit you down and take you through a list of definitive do’s and don’ts.
Which is why we’ve put together this list of the 20 best beauty tips you’ll ever hear.
Enjoy.
1. Apply a layer of sunscreen to your face each and every day.
Yes, even if it’s cloudy or rainy or it’s the middle of winter. Protect your skin from the sun’s harsh rays, and you’ll also be saving it from premature ageing. Hoorah.
2. To find the perfect shade of foundation, match it to your jawline instead of the back of your hand or your wrist.
It’s the area that most closely matches that of your skin and is a better reflection of how your skin will look all year round (that is, once your summer glow inevitably wears off).

Ok, I normally don't comment but I feel I have to make some corrections here!
2. Match your foundation to YOUR CHEST. When someone looks at you, they are looking at your whole upper half of body. If you are matching anywhere on your face, it is likely going to be inaccurate match to your body due to weather, cleaning products etc. Especially if you want to match in photos, match to your chest!
11. Avoid layering concealer on top of your foundation under your eyes as you are creating more layers, and therefore more chances of creasing or spillage. Under eyes to conceal dark circles, AVOID foundation and mattifying primers - instead use a hydrating primer, concealer and a light layer of powder.
14. Incorrect, use a light hand/light application and it will define lower lashes to open up the eyes and be more flattering when you have visible bags. You may need to use a separate formula if you have smudge problems.
15. Do not use nail polish remover - it creates a residue and it's a REMOVER, it will prevent polish from adhering to the nail. Use isopropyl alcohol as it will clean the nail base, and remove oils that cause nail chips.
19. You should be using flesh toned liner for a brighter look - white is too stark a contrast to the eyeball and looks unnatural.
20. It's not to do with sensitivity, it's thickness of skin. That's why face sunscreen is not suitable for body and vice versa.
