When you’re looking for free make up tips, be sure to always take the tips and adjust them to your own skin tone, shade, condition, eye color and hair color. Nothing’s worse than a poorly adapted personal version of some online makeup tutorial.

If you like the colors you see in the makeup tutorial, be sure to compare the model’s feature with your own and adjust the products accordingly. For instance, if the model has fair skin and you have olive skin, switch out the bluish-red lipstick used in the tutorial for a warmer toned red to suit your skin tone.

Subtle adjustments can ensure that you end up getting the benefits from the makeup tips without looking like a disaster.
