Posted by sarah@abeautifulstory | December 20, 2011, 10:53 amOne of the best tips (that hasn’t already been said) is that less is usually when it comes to make up (ie. don’t cake it on)!

Posted by Paige | December 20, 2011, 4:21 pmprob less is more, well i guess that would be a learned tip and also said, i went to school with these girls who holy cow prob used a whole thing of foundation daily and a stick of eyeliner every other day. They had more eye shadow on everyday then i have prob used my whole LIFE. Like seriously…… and we all used to kinda say less is more but the twins dont listen.

Posted by Katie | December 29, 2011, 2:54 pmthe best advice i ever received was as a young woman (late teens, early 20s) – definitely wear sunscreen on your face every day. i didn’t realise until later in life how much sun damage can age the skin; i only started to notice it when i got older and started travelling to other countries overseas who didn’t have the same ‘slip, slop, slap’ message growing up.
