MAKE OVER YOUR LIFE

Make Over Your Life Activity: Doing Your Own Date Makeup (How-To Video)

As Amie's first Make Over activity, we got a makeup artist to teach her to do her own date makeup in time for V-Day--or any day!

Last month, you met Cosmo's Make Over Your Life Campaign winner, Amie Perez. Now, you'll get to witness her first activity in this year-long campaign. We got The Makeup Forum's Al De Leon to teach her to do her own date makeup, in time for Valentine's Day.

And even if she doesn't snag a date in time, Amie is so happy to know the wonders of eyeliner, mascara, and a four-color eyeshadow palette, which you'll see in this demo video. She can, after all, use these tricks for any occasion.

To read Amie's reaction to her first activity, read her blog post.

36. Great tips! I used to think that I can only have great make up by going to a salon. Now, I am trying to learn how to apply make up the right way! At 27, I have just learned to appreciate eyeliner! LOL!

35. @april you can use an angle brush and an eyeshadow with the same color of your hair to fill in your brows.

29. @yanipot: what i do is that i come to work a little earlier than my scheduled shift. that way i could head straight to the ladies' room and put some makeup on. hehe. minsan pag talagang walang time before work, i put makeup on during my lunch break, after eating, of course. for me, it's a more effective mood-booster compared to coffee.

17. This is so cool! Hehe. Although I don't think I'll be applying makeup (no more than my basic foundation, blush, and lip tint) coz I tend to sweat during my commute to work - Tanghali kasi pasok ko. Boo...
