Test the foundation on your neck, and walk around for at least half an hour.
I didn't learn that many bottled foundations oxidize until I was about 16. I have had many foundations that looks perfect once applied, but ten minutes in I resemble an Oompa Loompa.
If you have hooded eyelids, look straight forward when applying eyeliner
Again, something I wish I knew when I started out doing makeup. Eyeliner is very tricky to apply on hooded eyelids, because the browbone hides large amounts of the eyelid and drags the eye down. If you apply eyeliner while looking down (And you're not very experienced), the eyeliner looks perfect when you look down, and then you look up and it looks wobbly.
Applying concealer with your fingers will help it blend, but make it last shorter and increase creasing
Color correction is alfa omega, and is more important than foundation
Use dish wash soap to make nail polish last longer
If you clean your nails after removing old nail polish with dishwash soap it will remove all natural oils, this will enable nail polish to get a better grip and last longer.
That last tip sounds amazing! Thanks for sharing.

I remember when I first started wearing foundation and not knowing that foundation can change tone and colour when it oxidizes! What a pain that was haha :)
