Remember, make-up is a great beauty enhancer, but you need to remove it every night and let your skin breathe .so you don't end up with clogged pores and blemishes. Here you'll find free make up tips and tricks to give you a stunning look for both casual and formal occasions.

• Learn which type of foundation will create the perfect base for you.
  

• Your foundation should match your face and neck, so don't try it on your hand or arm for color a match.
  

• You will probably need a different shade of foundation for each season, so don't use the same one all year long. Blending colors sometimes is the only way to get a perfect match.
  

• Don't forget to apply foundation on your eyelids, lips and into your neck for a more natural look. This also is a good setting for eye shadow and lipstick and helps it stay on longer.
  

• Use Eye shadow to shape and define your eyes. Three shades are ideal with the darkest on the lid and the lightest just below the brow bone.

• Neutral tones are the best for daytime.

• Cream eye shadow is best used sparingly and only in cool weather. It has a tendency to crease. If you prefer the cream look, try a frost powder shadow that has a similar look.

• Powder eye shadow stays on the longest.

• Matte eye shadow looks better than frost if you're tired. Frost shadow draws attention to wrinkles.

• Black/Brown mascara and eyeliner flatters most faces, blondes, brunettes, and redheads. Black is usually too harsh, especially for blondes.

• Use a lip liner that matches your lipstick.

• To make thin lips appear larger, apply your liner just outside of your natural lip line. Add a final touch with lip gloss.

• Apply pressed powder on and around your lips if your lipstick has a tendency to "bleed."
• To avoid getting lipstick on your teeth, after application, run your finger through the middle of your lips and pull it back out. The excess will come off on your finger -- not your teeth.

• Always use good lighting and a clean mirror.

• Keep your make-up light in the summer. Heavy foundation will cake and melt off in the summer heat and humidity, leaving you with a streaked look.

• For proper hygiene, don't use outdated cosmetics, particularly around the eye area and never share your make-up with anyone.

• Try bronzing powder underneath your cheeks and jawbone to make your face appear slimmer.

• To make your nose appear smaller, apply bronzing powder carefully down the sides. Add a little shimmer creme or powder down the bridge of your nose.

• Use Q-tips to blend in any eye shadow that has fallen on your cheeks or face.

• Clean your make up brushes and applicators often to reduce bacteria and oil.

• If your powder blush or eye shadow breaks up in the compact, use alcohol to press it back together.
