• Wear false eyelashes that look too long and fake
• Attempt to change the lightness or darkness of your skin tone with a completely different shade of foundation. It will end up looking like a mask.
• Use a heap of glittery eyeshadow

DO

• Look out for foundation that has yellow undertones
• Test your foundation on your jawline first
• Use lots of sky blue. Asian skin loves that color!
• Store lipstick and perfume in the refrigerator. It’ll last longer
• Outline your lips in pencil before you apply lipstick or gloss if you don’t want your lipstick to feather
• Always, ALWAYS wash off your makeup before bed
