Latest Makeup Tips

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.

Ever planned to buy your own mascara? I believe that this make-up item is a must have for every girl because it helps emphasize the true beauty of the eyes. However, just like other make-up item it is imperative to choose the one that suits you. Actually, there are several types of mascara to choose from. If you want a mascara that lasts for a long time, you can opt for a cake mascara. This type is actually being used by models. Also, there is what we call the waterproof mascara. This one is suitable for people who cry a lot or wet their faces a lot because it does not smudge easily (that’s why it’s called waterproof, duh!). There’s also the regular mascara which easily smudges off and the mascara that has little fibers to make your eyelashes look thicker. There are other types aside from these, the only solution is to choose the one that suits you best.

One of the most helpful cosmetic ever made is the concealer. Yep, you read it right. That is especially true if you do not have a flawless complexion like other women. It is helpful to cover dark circles, pimples, disguise broken capillaries and even out your skin tone. For best results, it is better if you will use a stick concealer rather than creamy and liquid concealers. That is because liquid and creamy concealers are quite oily and has the tendency to slide and glide off while stick concealers stay put. Also, choose a concealer that is closest to your skin color to prevent from looking super white. Start applying the concealer from the center of the spot and gently move outward. While the concealer is wet, you can apply a loose powder and then let it dry. After drying the concealer you can then decide whether you will use a foundation or not.

There was a time in my high school days wherein the most popular type of applying make-up is the smoky eyes. I even tried doing it myself but I was unfortunate during that time because I failed to do so. Anyway, here’s something that could help you achieve that smoky eyes look. The first thing to do is to apply a sheer nude color of eyeshadow all over the eye. Start from lid to the brow. After that, apply a dark brown or plum eyeshadow. Apply it from the lid to the crease. You can also use crème shadows. The next thing to do is to line the entire eye with a dark brown eyeliner and to make it look better use a pencil instead of liquid eyeliner.

Planning to buy your own eye mascara? There are several kinds of mascara to choose from. Cake mascara is popular with models, because it lasts a long time. There is waterproof mascara, which is fine if you swim or cry a lot; it stays intact on your lashes and will only come off with an eye makeup remover specifically made for this type of mascara. Regular mascara or water-soluble mascara will run if you tear and is easily removed with plain old water. Yet another kind of mascara has little fibers in it to make your lashes look thicker.
