How to apply...

How to  properly apply mascara:
Step 1: Wiggle the wand left to right at the base of lashes. It's the mascara placed near the roots -- not the tips -- that gives the illusion of length.
Step 2: Pull the wand up and through lashes, wiggling as you go. The wiggling part is key because it separates lashes.
Step 3: In this final step (which most people skip), close the eye and place the mascara wand on top of lashes at the base and pull through to remove any clumps.

How to apply concealer:

 step 1:Apply several dots of concealer under the eyes close to the lashes. Apply a dot to the inside corners of the eyes. You can use your finger or, for best results, try a small-headed brush with firm bristles.
step 2:Using the pad of your middle finger, tap in the concealer (always tap, never rub). Make sure to blend well. You can also use your index finger. There's no real rule to it, but I find the middle finger tends to be more gentle.
step 3:Apply concealer on other uneven spots on the face -- including the chin, and around the nose and mouth if need be -- and tap in.
step 4:Apply another layer if you need more coverage.
step 5:Dust fine, loose powder over your face to set your concealer. According to makeup artist Scott Barnes in Allure Magazine, loose powder applied with a fluffy brush is "the secret to good concealer."
