Latest Makeup Tips

Skin irritation often starts with the wrong product that you use and apply on your face. Oftentimes we forget to check the products that we use on our face because we tend to think that cosmetics don�t expire just like our food.

But then think again, expired makeup can cause serious problems to your skin and your health. Always remember when you had bought the product you put on your face.

Products that you apply to your eyes, like mascara, last for only about 3 months. Facial moisturizers, eye shadows, concealers and lipstick should be discarded after 12 months.

Whether it be red, pink, brown or mauve, it’s still best to put color on your lips. Choosing the best color of lipstick you’ll use depends on the color of the clothes you’ll wear or on the occasion you’re going to use it, whether it is formal or casual.

Aside from the color, lipstick also has several types. There’s the sheer, which looks natural, wet and shiny but does not last that long. Metallic shimmer, that looks more subtle and matte, which last longer and provides deep opaque colors.

1. To create a gorgeous nighttime look, use light, medium and dark eyeshadow shades in graduated tones. Apply the dark shade along your lash line, the medium shade on the crease, and a light shade up to the eyebrow bone but not beyond. Soften and blend any hard edges so one color seems to melt into the next.
2. To open up your eyes so that they appear livelier, place a dot of a light shadow in the inner corner of each eye.
3. For a sexy, smoky effect, trace the upper and lower lashes with a dark shadow then smudge with a blending brush. To optimize the look, this can also be done over eyeliner.

Many women look beautiful even when they cross fifty, sixty or even seventy. These women know how to combat the ravages of time.

As you grow older never allow your skin to feel or get dry. Never use soap at this age. You should instead clean your face with a good cleansing milk. Never wash your face more than it is necessary and never wash your face with very hot or very cold water. Always wash it with tap water. In the night massage cold cream into the skin, in the morning before taking your bath, massage Vaseline in the skin. In the day use a moisturizer to prevent any natural moisturizer from being lost to the atmosphere.

You have to keep in mind that there are keys while doing makeup:

• Before you start your makeup application, laid out necessary things needed.
• The five minute makeup does not apply to every occasion. Thus, it is important to know the kind of activity you have on that day.

1. Tap or lightly blow on the applicator brush to take away any leftover blush before applying to avoid a callous and uneven application. 
2. Put in your blush on the apple of the cheek and vigilantly combine towards your normal hairline.  
3. If you comprise two shades, apply the darker one on the apple of the cheek first, and then use the lighter shade to emphasize. Blend well so there is no noticeable line between colors. 
4. Focus your temples, forehead and chin.

To identify “where to glow” bow over for 30 seconds, then leisurely stand up. Where your cheeks have turned ‘rosey’ out is where you should target your blush. Apply your blush there and it will be physically rosy every time. Cheek color should be used to develop your skin and not to change it. Use carefully for daytime, then add more or a deeper shade for a more vivid nighttime effect. For special occasions, apply a lightly frosted powder over your cheekbones for a devious but alluring glow. Make sure to blend your blush into your foundation well or it will lean to look unnatural and add the façade of 5 years to your looks.
