There are beauty tips such as the '17-step smokey-eyes' or the 'mapped-out contouring' that most of us women are aware of but do not practice because most of them are highly complicated and do not fit in our 'everyday' beauty regimes. So, in order to perfect your everyday makeup application techniques, we have got you'll certain tips we implore you'll to take seriously. Also, they have been dished out by celebrity favourite and makeup expert, Rae Morris. Take a look...

Properly priming the eyelid is of utmost importance as this results in the eyeshadow lasting longer and makes blending easier too. "Eyeshadow can drag on an oily eyelid, so priming or powdering first is essential," says Morris. "Primers are great, I like Laura Mercier, NARS or MAC, but at the end of the day, translucent powder works fine too and it's what all the pro's do. Just watch out for HD powders as they are often silicone based, which can make lids sticky," she adds, speaking to a leading women's magazine.

How many of you'll smile and apply blush? Well, it might be time to stop. "If you smile, you risk applying blush to too big of an area, which only makes your cheeks look larger and your face droopier—pretty much everything you do not want," says Morris. "Only apply it above the cheekbone, swooping a super, super softly into a C shape up towards the temple," she adds.

Bronzer shouldn't be used to 'tan' the skin. Apply bronzer in areas where the sun-rays naturally fall on you. "Using a rosy blush before your bronzer keeps it from looking muddy or dirty. That's why you often see the two together in a palette, you should never use one without the other," Morris says.

"Sticky tape is a cat's eye's best friend!" says Morris. "Line it up from the outer corner of the eye and use it as a stencil to map out the shape you want in pencil eyeliner. Remove it, and if you like the shape go back in with liquid or gel liner for more definition," she adds. It's a trick we have mastered and you should too!

"Making your lips look bigger doesn't always make you look younger," warns Morris. Over-lining can make that little peak and shadow that naturally happens below the lower lip disappear. "That shadow is the key to a perfect pout, without it you can look like you've had some bad fillers put in. You're better off following your natural shape and cutting in slightly at the outer corner, this makes your pout look fuller, more heart shaped and more youthful," Morris adds.
