Make-up makes you feel better about yourself, apart from acting as protection from the elements like the sun, wind and dirt. A face is the same for everyone. But, make-up makes you feel good!
A make-up when applied, does not change your appearance. Instead, it plays up your assets and minimizes your flaws.Remember one thing! Too much make-up makes you look older than you are, and not younger!Go with today’s trend.Less make-up itself is more!
Let’s see the guidelines for a perfect make-up! Your make-up should be sheer.Daytime make-up should look fully natural.You must apply little at a time.You can always add more.Colored women should use strong rich shades that blend with their skin tone.
Shapely well-groomed eyebrows add beauty to the entire face. Before applying foundation, you can use a concealer to even out patchy skin tones. But, it is not a must.You need to have right tools like brushes, puffs, sponges and pencils.
Before applying the make-up, wash your face thoroughly.You can scrub it with a sponge, for a fresh face and to remove all the dead cells from your face.You should never apply make-up over make-up.
You can start your make-up with applying the concealer, but as I told you earlier, it is only optional. I don’t use it either.If you do use it, it should be one shade lighter than your skin.It usually comes in a tube or a stick.
Next comes the foundation. Try to select one which is close to your natural color.Foundation comes in either a liquid, cream or powder.-matte or shiny. Liquids provide sheer to medium coverage.Creams and pressed powders are also good.
You must apply foundation with fingers or a make-up sponge.Start under the eye area, where the most coverage is needed. Blend outward, stroking in an upward motion.Cover the whole face, making sure to blend well in the neck area too.
Eyebrows come next.I know people going for plucking and tweezing.As long as you are comfortable with the processes, it’s ok. I go for threading in a beauty salon, when the eye brow hair gets too much.If you find your eye brow hair scanty, you can fill in with a soft brow pencil in a color that compliments your natural eye brow color.
Eye shadow again is optional.You can use an eyeliner, to make your eyes look large and luminous.Mascara should be applied carefully to avoid clumping.
Lastly, before applying the lipstick to your lips, you can put concealer or foundation on them.It will make the color cling longer.You can go with neutral colors and avoid dark ones.
Now that I told you about make-up, it doesn’t mean you have to use these everyday.Atleast once in a while, you can use make-up for your face.At all other times, just simple make-up will do!
You should never share make-up.Also remember to replace all make-up after six months to avoid bacterial contamination. If a product smells funny, just toss it! You don’t have to feel bad about it.
