Pro Makeup Tips from Ambreen Vikhar

• If you have sweaty/oily eyelids, use gel liner and avoid Kajal. The kajal in your eyes tend to smudge a lot and stain the skin as compared to gel liner
• Never use a mascara for more than 3 months since it has the shortest life span as compared to other makeup products
• Remember, it’s easier to add than subtract when it comes to makeup so always use little by little rather than a whole lot at once!

• Either go strong on the eyes or strong on the lips but never do both as it will make you look tacky and gaudy. If you are going for a bold red or dark burgundy lipstick, then go soft on the eyes to balance the look. Similarly, if you prefer a dramatic shade on the eyes, then play up the lips in a lighter tone
• If you want to conceal something on your face, use spot concealer
