Not me, I'm just copying and pasting.
Though i'm lazy to do half of the work :P

Master An Eyelash Curler !
1. Look into a compact mirror with your eyes lowered -- Like you're looking at your chin.
2. Open the curler and fit all your lashes up to the lash line
3. Gently squeeze with very light pressure for 5 seconds
4. Release, move the curler a little farther down your lashes and squeeze again. Repeat until you reach the tips of your lashes

Eye Makeup Lotion Remover??
When you dont have eye makeup remover,
use lotion !
dont smear a chunk on your face though.
Take a Q-Tip,
And apply a small amount of lotion on the Q-Tip.
Then Smear the lotion on the area of your unwanted makeup
After smearing it and rubbing it gently,
take a dry Q-Tip (or your fingers)
and wipe it off.

Spoon Eyelash Curler
If you do not have a eyelash curler,
have no fear !
use a spoon. :]
I perfer spoon over a eyelash curler,
but sometimes i dont have time to use a spoon.
Uhm, If any of you want to learn this trick,
let me know, it takes a hard time to describe it,
spoon <3

Eyeshadow, Stay On !!
Tired of your eyeshadow getting off ?
And you can't afford BASE
[base - its like a eyeshadow, except you put it on before putting on eyeshadow. it helps the eyeshadow stay on!]
then no worries !
all you need is Q-Tips and Hairspray.
did i say hairspray ?
yes i did.
After applying your eyeshadow,
take a q-tip and spray hairspray on the qtip until the qtip gets damp
once it gets damp/wet/soaked roll the qtip over the eyeshadow area,
and your eyeshadow will stick on all day :]

Green Tea
There are many ways green tea helps with your face.
You can wet a green tea bag and rub it over your face,
as much as you want.
You can also make green tea ( no sugar added! )
and freeze it into ice cubes.
after freezing it, put it in a napkin,
or something that has holes,
enough to make the green tea wet your skin,
but not make direct contact (you dont wanna be cold)

- vaseline is a good eye make up remover
- try to put body lotion / chapstick before you go outside
- put on lotion before you try putting powder foundation to make it smoother and not so dusty
- try leaving your wet hair (after you shower) in the towel for a period of time instead of blow drying it right after you get out. (less damage to hair)
- instead of styling your hair with your fingers, try using a comb.(less grease/oil)
- always comb your hair when blow drying never brush
- dont yank elastics out of your hair, it damages your hair
- realize that you cant copy most eye make up tutorials becuase it depends on your skin tone also.
- when you want more mascara on your wand, don't pump it into the bottle because that will cause air to get into the bottle, and make it dry up more quickly. if you want to get more mascara simply twist your brush around inside the bottle.
- when applying mascara, apply more to the base because that will help your eyelashes look more extended
- make sure to get ALL of your eyelashes, including the ones on the sides.
- clean your makeup brushes using eye makeup remover pads if you're in a rush... works wonderfully well
- if you don't have eye makeup remover, try using that liquid solution you keep contacts in (if you wear contacts). it's excellent at removing eye makeup
- apply chapstick liberally, wait a few mins for it to set it and then apply your lipstick/gloss
- try two french braids while your hair is about 70% dry after a shower before bed. wake up to beautiful waves =]
- cream concealer UNDERNEATH powder foundation gives you a flawless complexion
- for the poofy hair look (the poof infront at your hair crown), lift your bangs/hair infront of your face up and using a fine toothed comb, comb it BACKwards... it'll create volume and pin it back with 2 bobby pins
- finish off your powder foundation with a purifying mist (MAC charged water, fix+, evian mist, etc...) gives you a dewy look

skin tips:
- if you have acne prone, sensitive skin, DO NOT use fragranced skincare products (Cetaphil lotion for senstive skin is a good moisturizer)
- depending on the consistency of your lotion,try not to use too much lotion as it can get too heavy and that may clog your pores lead to breakouts. One pea sized pump works fine with me (max 2).
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil is great natural eyemakeup remover. (good for those tough to remove waterproof mascaras) just be sure to wash your face with a cleanser afterwards.

makeup:
- applying creme to your eyelids (or some kind of primer) before you apply eyeshadow will intensify often intensify the colour of your eyeshadow and make it last longer
- depending on the type of your eyeshadow, adding a few drops of water to your shadow or wetting your brush will intensify the colour of your eyeshadow, and will last longer.

brows:
- I cannot stress this enough---Trimming stray eyebrow strands are great, makes your brows look neater but please for the love of god, DON'T OVERPLUCK. I've seen so many beautiful girls having their features ruined thanks to their penciled-on thin brows.
- If you're not confident with tweezers try trimming with a small manicure scissor, so if you do make a mistake, it will grow out faster.

lips:
-sounds gross but I apply Nivea cream to my lips everynight before I goto sleep and in the mornings after I wash my face. Keeps my lips supple throughout the day. If you find the idea of putting lotion on your lip repulsive, try Nivea Q10 Lip Effect, best lip balm ever. Plumps your lips abit too!
- You can mix eyeshadow/blush/loose pigments with your lipglosses (or vaseline) to create new colours
