BASE

Apply primer all over your face

#faithtip: use a powder brush to apply baby powder all over your face

Your face will look ashy after this step, but applying foundation/tinted moisturiser will fix this

Blend it in with a damp beauty blender

#faithtip: dampen your beauty blender with setting spray for easier blending and a longer lasting base

After blending in your foundation/tinted moisturiser, apply a concealer that is only slightly lighter than your skin tone to the inner corner of your under-eye

Place concealer to the end of your under-eyes following the shape of your eyes

Blend it in well with a beauty blender

Take a powder brush and some pressed powder and apply all over your face

Now, apply setting powder to your under eyes following your eye shape.

Place a line of setting powder under your cheeks

Let the setting powder sit whilst you focus on another part of your face

EYEBROWS

Eyebrows play a very vital role in this look, they help your eyes stand out more

This step will be easier if your brows have a defined shape

Brush through your eyebrows with brow gel

Use a brow brush dipped in pomade, to draw a line at the bottom of your brow starting from the front of your brow to the end

Draw a similar line at the top of your brows

Fill in the space (don't fill in the very front of your brows to create an almost ombre effect)

Apply eyebrow gel on top

Then use a small brush to apply concealer underneath your eyebrows

Blend well with a beauty blender

Apply setting powder to under your brow

LASHES

Lashes are the main event for this look

Select thick and long lashes/ lash clusters that suit your eye shape

#faithtip D-Curl lashes are your best friend

STRIP LASHES

But for this step apply glue to strip lashes

Wave the lashes around for a bit so the glue dries a tiny bit and feels a little bit sticky

Place them on the lash line and adjust where needed (using tweezers or fingers)

CLUSTER LASHES

Strip lashes can also be cut into smaller pieces or use cluster lashes

Dip them into glue and wipe off the excess

Use tweezers to hold the lashes

Pull the top of your eyelid upwards so you can see underneath your eyelashes

#faithtip Wipe the glue on the part you are applying to then you can dip the lash in glue again before actually placing it underneath your lash

This make the lashes more firm and secure

Make sure it is not too close to your eye as this can be irritating

Fan your eyes if you can still feel wet glue

BACK TO BASE

Brush the setting powder away with a powder brush

You will need to make sure you do this properly because the powder won't move easily, because of how long it has sat there

Apply highlighter to the tip of your nose, your brow bone and your cupid's bow

Make sure to keep the highlight application light and smooth it out, so as to not look ashy and to keep the focus on your eyes and lips

Spray setting spray all over your face

LIPS

Use a brown lip liner, slightly darker than/ similar to your skin tone, to outline your lips

Apply pink lip gloss to your lips

Then top it all off with clear lip gloss.

HOW TO WRITE A LECTURE SUMMARY EFFICIENTLY

*This method can be reworked for essay writing as well

Okay for those of you that don’t know, a lecture summary is a short (usually under 300 words) summary of the main points from a lecture. You’re supposed to pretend that you’re writing the summary to teach the main ideas of the lecture to somebody with limited knowledge on the topic. Sometimes professors will ask you to write one as an assignment, but they are also very helpful if you are in a lecture oriented class and need to condense your notes into something shorter and easier to study. I have to write a lecture summary each week, so I’ve gotten fairly good at knocking them out pretty quickly. Here’s my tips for doing so!

TAKE A LOT OF NOTES: After a lecture I need to write on, I’ll typically have about four pages of notes to work with. A decent amount of the information is unimportant (I know my professors will sometimes intentionally say unimportant things just to make sure we know how to tell the difference between what is vital and what is not) so you need to organize your notes. I do this by taking 3 highlighters (usually pink, orange, and yellow) and highlighting vital main ideas (pink), examples/other semi important info (orange), and unimportant information (yellow). 

 As you can see, a LOT ends up in the yellow section. Remember, a lecture summary is supposed to be an exercise in recognizing important information and summarizing it in less than 300 words, so don’t try to squeeze everything in your summary. 

COPY THE IMPORTANT INFO ONTO A NEW PIECE OF PAPER: Now that you know what’s important enough to be in your summary, you need to separate it from the superfluous information. Copy just the main ideas onto a new sheet (at this point, you should only have about a page worth of info if you want to make <300 words). 

 Then, what you want to do is find your highlighters again, and separate the information into three main ideas. I use pink for the first paragraph of the summary, orange for the second paragraph, and yellow for the third. You can use two colors to highlight ideas that would work as transitions between ideas. 

Now write!: Easier said than done, but now that you have a more condensed set of notes you look at, it is much less overwhelming and easier to get working on your summary. As you can see in my previous picture, I put checkmarks next to the ideas I’ve already addressed in my summary, just to make sure everything I want in my paper gets mentioned. 

For some more tips, I used this website when I was first learning how to write lecture summaries.
