You've seen them, make-up looks gone bad. Horribly bad.
1. WAAAYYYY too much blush - Blush is supposed to look natural, flushed, pretty. Think J.Low. She's got it down. Apply your blush before ANY other color on your face. If you look like you could throw on lip gloss and mascara and run out the door, you're good!
The best blush color? No, it's not fuscia. It's a pinky/peach. Look for something with soft shimmer, a pinky/peach that looks young, fresh on anyone of any age.
2. The dreaded blue eyeshadow a la 1960's. Okay, I think whenever someone is in that dreaded "color" shadow mode, it's because someone at some time said "gee! that looks great honey!" When it painfully didn't. We're suckers for a compliment.
3. Navy blue, dark blue, any blue. - Anything with blue, dark blue or grayish blue around your eyes really brings out the dark blue undereye circle under it. Copy a color on your face that you don't like in your makeup, and it'll look worse. Way worse. Case in point: a red dress with sunburn. See? Doesn't work. Go warmer, chestnutty, bronzy in shadows and liner instead. Trust me.
4. "You're looking a little tired. Are you feeling ok?" - We've all been there. If people ask if you're tired when you aren't it's could be your makeup. Incorrect make-up color choices can actually make your skin look tired. How? By unintentionally wearing colors that have gray in them. A grayish pink blush, a grayish mauvey lipstick, a grayish eyeshadow -- even your foundation might be gray.
All that gray can make you look tired by bringing out the gray in your skin.
5. The old school overdrawn lips. Overdrawing the lips does NOT make your lips look bigger. It can make you look like a clown. So how do you fake the illusion? It's in the color and the shine. Yes - shine! Start out with a lighter color, think about a nude pink. Look for a shade that mimics your lip color, or is 2 shades deeper than your actual lip color. Apply to your lip line and not a millimeter more. Then add shine. Shine bounces light and gives the illusion of a fuller pout. Try Bobbi Brown's lip gloss. She has a different type of shimmer going on in her lipglosses that makes your lips look 3-dimensional. It truly works.

nice make-up tips, Ann! i'm not very fancy in make-ups, i put only during special day and don't like to put heavy make-up either.
This is nice, i will avoid to put any grayish color so i could not be look tired.. :-)
Btw, thanks for the under eye cream you told me. I went to Marrionaud this morning, they suggest me the Lancome. I saw the Chanel one that you told me but too expensive for me! arg! so i opted to take the Lancome na lang..we'll see if it works.
