Using a sock instead of a beauty blender can give you a beautiful flawless finish.

15. Create a fan brush with a bobby pin

Most people today are using fan brushes to highlight and contour. Don’t have one? Just use a bobby pin in your regular foundation brush and you will have a fan brush!

The under eye is a very sensitive area. It is crucial to keep that area hydrated by using an eye cream.

18. Use a spoon to create a cut crease

Use a spoon as an outline to create your cut crease for sufficient results.

19. Always use an eyeshadow base

Make sure to apply concealer or an eyeshadow primmer to your eyelids. This will help your eyeshadow stick and blend better.

20. Color correcting helps A LOT

Color correction is when you cancel out certain colors on your face with other ones. For example over red areas you would apply the color green to cancel out the redness.

21. Apply deodorant to your thighs so they don't rub together

Ever have your thighs rubbing together in the summertime? Apply deodorant in between your thighs and it won’t happen again!

22. Apply perfume on neck and inside of wrist to last longer

Sometimes getting the smell of perfume to stick is a struggle. By applying perfume on the neck or inside the wrist your perfume is more likely to stick.

23. Apply concealer in a triangular shape

Everyone noes to put concealer under their eyes but everyone doesn't know it shouldn't just be a direct line. It should be in a triangular shape and going downwards.

This will cause your eyes to look more open and awake.

28. Bake your face if you want it to last

If you want to prevent that under eye area from creasing make sure to bake your face. This will cause your eyes to look more open and awake.

29. Set your eyebrows

Always set your eyebrows after filling them in so the hairs stay in place.

30. Blend, blend, blend

Always make sure to blend as much as possible you can never blend too much.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
