well,for mascara,Don't use waterproof mascara every day.
It's very hard to remove and will take out your lashes as well.
Lashes take a long time before they grow in again.To get the most of your mascara brush, try twirlinng,
as pumping will cause it to dry out sooner.
If your mascara is new, yet you notice some deposit on the wand,
tissue off the wand before applying to prevent smudging.
When applying more than one coat,
combing through lashes will help prevent clumping.
Using the proper application technique when applying mascara is extremely important when you are trying to achieve a finished look. Make sure that the mascara covers the lashes from the root to the tip of the lash.
Lip gloss/stick/plumper;;Lips look best if you outline them with a lipliner first and then apply your lipstick.
Take a Kleenex, put it between your lips and gently close your lips
the way you normally would close them, to remove excess lipstick.
This will prevent the embarrassment of having lipstick on your teeth.
You may wish to try a lipstick sealer.
Brush it over your lipcolour and let it dry for one minute.
Your lipstick will never bleed or feather into your liplines.Keep your lips smooth. Moisturize them every night.
A matte lipstick looks very sexy and also stays on much longer, especially if you have a lot of lines around your mouth.
eyeshadow;; Blend the eye shadow well before applying.
2. Choose a fine brush for the eyeshadow application. the base colour to the entire lid from the inside to the outside corner and from the base of the lashes to the eyelid crease.
3. Eyeshadow is applied to draw attention to the eye which accounts for many shades of purple, blue, green, yellow and orange color that comes in and out of fashion. Choose an eyeshadow color that matches your dress, eye color and face makeup.
4. Always apply a lighter shade under the brow bone to highlight the eyes and darker shades on the lid and the crease of the eye.
5. To ensure that your eyeshadow is long-lasting and crease-proof, make-up artists advise application with a damp make-up brush.
Eyeshadow Application Tips
Before using eye-shadow, use a little powder on the eyelid as a base.
Eye-shadow is available in many shades. On black eyes, chocolate, green or mauve shades are preferred.
Eyeshadow is commonly found in powder form but it is also available in cream with a sponge-tip wand and in crayons.
Eyeshadow should be used for night make-up.
Eye shadows with cream-coloured, soft and silky texture are posed in two blows of brushes and are based on the eyelid naturally.
Eyeliner;; Tilt your head back slightly and bring your eyes to a half-open state. This creates a good angle for application, while allowing you to see what you're doing.
Use your left index finger (if you are right handed) or your right index finger (if you are left handed) and pull your eyelid gently to the side and slightly up, towards the far end of your eyebrow. This step is optional, because some people find it easier to draw accurately on a relaxed eye; also, stretching the eye may encourage wrinkling. To prevent the eyelid from shaking if you do not pull it, focus gently but intently on your eyes in the mirror. If you are applying eyeliner to someone else's eyes, ask them to choose one spot on the wall to look at.
Draw a line across the upper lid on the lash line (as close to your lashes as possible while still on the lid). This creates the desired illusion of having thicker lashes.
Know that if you're using liquid liner, allow it to dry before opening your eyes all the way, or the color may transfer into the crease of your eye.
Soften the look by gently smudging the line with your brush, a cotton swab or your finger. If you desire a crisp, straight line, as is the case with liquid eyeliner, do not alter unless it's messy. Any cleaning touch ups should be done with a cotton swab dipped in eye makeup remover.
Remember that there are many variations on eyeliner looks . If this is your first time (which it probably is if you're reading this) you might want to start with a smudged eyeliner look .

I am assuming you are going for just an everyday daily type of look.
Keep it simple... and play up one feature only at a time. Start with a moisturizer with SPF of 15 or higher and then try a sheer foundation...set it with a loose powder as light as possible for your skin tone.
Because I am unsure of what skinb tone you have I am going to say go with a peachy color blush. It is flattering on all skin tones and smile..the apples of the cheeks when you smile, THAT is where you want to apply the blush to. It doesn't take much.
If you want to really do up your lips...then go easy on your eyes. Choose a lipstick that isn't overwhelming for you, apply it first then use a lip liner just to keep the lipstick from having that bleeding effect around your mouth. Something I like to do is after applying my lipstick and blotting it, I will wait a few minutes then apply a clear gloss over the lipstick. It looks fresh. If you're in a hurry and have clear gloss but want to add some color...put a dolip of clear gloss on the back of your hand and either take a pretty eyeshadow or blush color that would look good on lips and mix it with the gloss on the back of your hand then apply it to your lips, for a long lasting pretty color.
Sweeping a bronzer over your eyelid is enough as far as shadow, it gives a natural color to your eyes, yet doesn't look as effortless as it actually is. Then apply some mascara to top it all off. You have the perfect day look that is simple yet beautiful and natural and most importantly flattering for everyday wear. Total time to apply it all..less than 10 minutes!
Now...if you decide to play up your eyes rather than your lips...use a sheer gloss your on lips possibly a tinted gloss...but STILL try to use a good "day" color for eyes that is easy and not dramatic for day. Try a liner but possibly just along the lash line on the outer edges and then smudge it until it blends the rest of the way across the eye...again top off with mascara!
For a really freash finish..take a damp washcloth and press lightly over entire face to set your makeup and last long...it gives your skin a dewy natural glow that doesn't look powdery yet doesn't look greasy either, just like baby fresh skin!...Hope this helps!

these are pretty much my everyday basics
concealer
eyeliner
mascara
blush
dab concealer anywhere u want to cover up like zits and stuff and blend it with your fingers
line your bottem lids with eyeliner bye just drawing a line right above and alont your bottem lashes. it takes a little practice
use mascara on your top and bottem lashes. just swipe it on and use a qtip if you accidently get some on your face
use a good blush brush and suck in your cheeks. brush the blush along your cheek bones
walah! your done.

eyes....- be light remember at this part less is always more add eye lliner to make your eyes POP! only add to bottom also if you want eye make up then put lightly on eye lids and use a sparkling color that matches your oufit
cheeks- use a light color such as pink apply mostly to cheeks but quickly flutter over rest of face to add color
lips- if its lip gloss use a bright playfull pink or glossy red apply a small amount to top lip then rub into bottom lips if its lipstcik put medium amount on both lips then press down on napkin so its not too thick of full
coverup- this is where if you need it to be careful!!! apply 1 dot to both cheeks ,chin,forhead and noce and lightly and smoothly rub in
