DO NOT use a concealer that is too light or too dark. A too light shade will look unnatural, and a too dark shade will be just that - too dark. Use a flesh-tone concealer (that means no yellow, orange, or green tones) that is just a shade or two lighter than your foundation.
Do NOT match makeup textures. If your lips are glossy then use matte eye shadow and vice-versa to keep the balance of your makeup look in check.
Do NOT forget to blend. The key to flawless makeup application, (foundation, eye shadow, blush & lipstick) is to blend. Always make sure there aren't harsh lines or any places where it’s obvious that your makeup has been applied to achieve the most flattering and natural finish.
