Like a lot of things, make up is something that I personally learnt more about through trial and error. I bet all of you now have a picture of your younger selfes experimenting with your Mom's beauty collection or buying a foundation that is approximately three shades to dark for you, but you spent all of your pocket money on it and all the cool kids wore make up, so you totally wore it anyways. Because obvs.
I don't think any of us have gone through this journey without passing up a deadly beauty sin, and when you're still young and clueless, that is okay.
But now that I'm older and have gone a few years with this little hobby - or obsession - of mine, I
learnt an important thing or two regarding beauty that every girl should keep in mind.

And because there is still so much more to learn and I love reading these kinds of posts to see if there's still a way I could better myself, I'm going to share some healthy beauty habits that every single one of us should get into!
1. Remove all of your make up once you're done with your day.
2. Allow your skin a make up-free day once in a while.
3. Clean your brushes at least once a week.
4. Find a skin routine that fits your skin type and stick to it.
5. Never use face wipes to remover your make up. Ever.
6. Get matched to a foundation's shade before buying a random one and realizing that it either makes you look like you haven't slept in days or like you fell into orange paint.
7. File your nails every once in a while.
8. If you have no idea what you're doing, get your eyebrows plucked professionally. It'll save you the hassle of overplucked or shaven eyebrows.
9. Use an exfoliating face mask once a week to rid your pores of any the dirt or blackheads.
10. Never get your hands near your face unless you have to.
11. Always wear sunscreen during summer - there is nothing worse than sunburns,
12. Wash your hair every second day to avoid greasy hair getting in your face and causing breakouts.
13. Exfoliate your legs once a week.
14. Get a your hair cut every 2 months - that'll help grow in a healthy manner without getting dull, thin or even falling out.
15. Do not pick your nails. They'll just get more frail and will end up breaking.
16. Don't wear a full face of make up on a hot summer day. It will be extremely uncomfortable and might even clog your pores. Opt for something lighter, like a BB creme - or go without wearing anything at all!
17. Use hand lotion daily. Your hands will thank you in a few years' time.
