Makeup Tips

How to Apply Make-up

There is no set way to apply cosmetics, but there are some tricks you can use to get the best results from your application.The first step is to have a clean, moisturized face.Then start with your foundation. If you have discoloration or trouble spots on your face you may want to dab some concealer on the problem areas before you apply the foundation. By using concealer first you can get extra coverage. Foundation should be applied with a clean make up sponge or a foundation brush. Using your hands can spread bacteria or add extra oil.Once you have your foundation blended evenly then you can finish it off with a loose or pressed powder.The last step is to put on your mascara. Before the mascara is applied, put on your eyeliner. It is appealing on most individuals to line the top eye with a thin line along the length of the eye/eyelashes and not to line underneath, this can cause eyes to look tired. When your eyeliner is done then you can apply eye shadow. Light colors for the base look best on most people. You can use a darker color in the outer corners to add depth and highlight your eyes.After the eye shadow application is complete, carefully brush away any excess make up that may have fallen under your eyes. Lightly brush some powder all over your face one more time to set look.Next add the blush. You don't want to use too much just enough to put the color back in your cheeks. This should be applied to the upper cheekbones and blended out toward the hairline. A bronzer can be used in place of blush for a more natural look.The next application should be on your lips. You may want to use a lip base to ensure longer wear. Carefully line your lips along your natural lip line, and then fill them in with the desired color of lipstick. Make sure to use a gloss if your wanting a pouty look.

Night and Day ...

Applying makeup to turn your day look into a night one is simple. Here are some great tips: Apply eyeshadow that is darker than your day shadow to the crease or in the back corner of the lid. Use an angled brush or sponge to add extra definition to the arches of your eyebrows. Make yourself shine by adding sparkling highlights to the forehead, neck, decolate, and cheekbones. Apply a brighter lipstick to make your evening look more dramatic (red is always a good choice—especially coupled with a black outfit). Give your daytime lipstick a lighter, juicier look by blending it well with a darker lipliner. Then, apply a brilliant gloss. Apply a bronzing powder to the cheekbones instead of a blush; this will accentuate them without overdoing it. Don't apply additional mascara, if anything try re-curling them.

Disguising the Shape of Your Face

If you want to make a round face look longer and thinner it's all about shading. Darker colors make things look smaller. Contouring your cheeks and your jaw with a darker shade will help give the illusion of a thinner, longer face and disguise the round shape.Using a bronzer or a brown tone on your cheeks and jaw will dramatically change the shape of you face, but you have to be careful you are using color that match your skin tone and look natural; otherwise you will defeat your purpose.

***Shelf Life For Makeup***

The shelf life for mascara is 3-4 months max. For eyeshadow and lipstick it could be a few years. Rule of thumb is if it smells bad or the texture has changed, it´s rancid. You don´t want to use a contaminated product in the eye area. When in doubt, throw it out.

Lipstick and Yellow Teeth ...
If your teeth are yellow, don´t use dark color lipsticks as they will make your teeth look more yellow. Steer free from corals and orange shades. Instead, choose a pink brown, rose or red brown shade. You can also try an at home teeth whitening kit but be careful if you have sensitive teeth as this can make them more irritated.

Plump Up Your Pout! ...
Create plump, luscious, pouty and sexy lips without plastic surgery. Line outer part of lips with natural color lipliner, then blend inward with a lipbrush. Follow with a shimmery gloss and don't rub lips together as this will only reduce shine.

Dry Lips ...
Before applying lipstick, try using a lip exfoliator that has moisturizers in it. Avoid matte lipsticks and instead choose a sheer, tinted lipstick or shimmery gloss. This fresh look will stay on longer and keep lips hydrated.
