Top Make Up Picks

Primer
Primer creates a base for your make up and helps it stay on better and longer. Not completely necessary, but I highly recommend it.


The Best:


You can buy this at any department store at the Benefit Cosmetics counter, or order it here .

Concealer
This is necessary. Cover up those dark circles and uneven skin tones.
The best is: 
From Benefit Cosmetics. Or you can order it here

For about $2, you can get this:
From NYC color at Wal Mart or Target. Not as good as the Benefit palette, but it gets the job done.

To cover up blemishes, and heal them at the same time, I recommend boo boo zap from Benefit. Order it here


Foundation
True Match by Maybelline can be found at Target or Walmart. It has great coverage. I also recommend "Some kind a gorgeous" from Benefit for quick touch ups. Order here
It goes on best with a foundation brush, no need for an expensive one! They look like this:


Powder
To set your foundation. 
Bare Minerals is my top pick. Do NOT wear it alone...it offers no coverage when used by itself. You can pick this up at Sephora, Ulta, etc.

Or a cheaper alternative
From Target.

Blush
This helps your complexion really glow!

I suggest Benefit...
You can order it here or pick it up at a department store from the Benefit counter.

Or you can find a shade similar at Target by Maybelline.

Bronzer
Use with moderation. Just gives your face a real healthy glow! My favorite is from sephora,


Not only is it super cute, it works AMAZINGLY!
Jane bronzer from Target also works, just not as well:)

Eye Shadow
From Benefit, 
Order it here

Or find similar neutral shades at Target. 

Eyeliner
For bottom, I suggest Revelon Color Stay in Black. It is really great about not smearing.

Pick it up at Target!

For top lid lining, I suggest pixi gel liner from target!
In Black. An angled Eye Liner Brush is very helpful.

Mascara

Maybelline Lash Stylist is the BEST MASCARA EVER!!!!! it has been discontinued, but you can find it on ebay. Bad gal lash from benefit is a CLOSE second! The Primer is from clinque, which you can pick up at a department store.


Lips
Lips are best to be kept natural, but a light lip gloss in a shade close to this is very pretty:

Make Up Brushes
Nice make up brushes are sold individually at target. You just need a brush for blush, foundation, powder/bronzer, and eyeshadow. Eyeshadow brushes are great when flat and wide. But the more the merrier! My favorite set, which I have not personally used are from sephora. SO KAWAII!! I will get them someday....





Now go shopping (you don't have to spend a lot if you do this at Target) and you are well on your way to becoming a TEN!

You Might Be Doing it Wrong...

If one of these descriptions fits you, fear not little duckling. I will let you know where you went wrong, and guide you back in the right direction!


The "Guy's Girl"
The most common misconception about what guys what. Some guys say they want a low maintenance girl that is "one of the guys". They may also say they like natural best. Well boys are retarded, and they don't mean what they say. They want someone who looks like an airbrushed supermodel, without the make up and airbrushing...and well...that just doesn't exist. I have seen so many girls try so hard at achieving this that they never wear make up, look like lesbians (no offense to my gay friends), and have horrible fashion sense. If you are this girl, your boyfriend masturbates thinking about the girl who takes care of her self. Don't cry, just simply fix it!


Your biggest mistakes:
1. pretending to like sports, and loudly yelling at the game when you don't know what you are talking about.


2. not taking pride in your appearance. neglecting your hair, and makeup.

3. doing manly things trying to fit in. I.E. challenging guys to eating contests, burping contests, wearing hideous hiking shoes, grunting, etc.


Simple fixes:
1. find a sport you like. or a band you really like. no need to pretend to like what your crush likes. Compatibility is not based on whether or not you both like Sublime... it is your core values and personalities. Feel free to disagree, if a guy wanted to date someone like a guy, he would. Embrace the fact that you are a girl! If you think football is boring, so what! He may think its cute. You can watch a sports game, but DO NOT yell at the tv or players. You probably don't know what you are talking about and you will look obnoxious.


2. Start by fixing yourself up! Flat ironing your hair does not take long, and it can make a huge improvement on your appearance! Ditch the ratty pony tails. CONDITION your hair! brush it, make it healthy and beautiful!
MAKE UP TIPS
Go to a make up counter and ask for a make over. Tell them you want to keep it natural as possible. You will be amazed at how much some concealer, foundation, and mascara can do. Complexion is what makes real beauty. Moisturize your face, wear sunscreen, and buy some zit cream. The next post will be my beauty picks...I have tried so many - from photo shoots and runway shows...I am positive I have found the best! Ill tell you where to pick these gems up, and how to use them. You will be well on your way to TEN!


3. Embrace the fact that you are a GIRL! We like cute little animals, pretty colors and sparkles. Thats what makes us so adorable to boys! Straight boys like GIRLS, not other straight boys.




The Slut Faced Whore
You may think you have it figured out, because you get tons of attention. You want respect, and for guys to long for you. If you are easy to get, then you have lost your luster. Ipads wouldn't be so cool if they were handed out for free.


Your Biggest Mistakes


1. Showing your goodies.


2. Talking about your naughty bits in public.


3. Throwing yourself at boys.


How to Fix It


1. Less is more. Leave them wondering. More to come on my fashion post.


2. Remember your manners. Being inappropriate makes you look like a slut.


3. Be the flame, not the moth.

Why You Should Trust Me

1. I have a lot of guy friends, and am very inquisitive.
2. I am very good at people watching, and have finally mastered the science of being a ten.
3. I am a model, so my job is to get inside guy's minds and make them want the product I am selling, or to believe the message I am portraying.

If you follow this blog and apply the lessons to your life, you have my word that you will become a Ten. YOU can be that girl that all the other girls are envious of, that all the boys stop and stare when you walk by, and the girl that can wrap any guy around her perfect little finger.

So get ready for your life transformation..and that self confidence to RISE!
