Latest Makeup Tips

One of the most essential things I know when it comes to applying make-up is the use of foundation. It does not only make your skin look healthy and fair but it also makes your make-up intact and last for a longer time than usual. However, it is also imperative to choose the right foundation for you. If you have an oily skin, you should use water based foundation but if you a dry skin you should use an oil based one. It is also important that your foundation matches your skin complexion meaning you should choose one that is closest to your skin color. It is easy but time consuming to do so. However if you want to have the perfect foundation, you should do it. Anyway, it is for your own benefit.

Women, though not all, love wearing make-up especially when attending parties and special gatherings. However when they get home, because of tiredness, they sometimes forget to take them off and just head off to sleep or sometimes opt to take it off the next day thinking that it wouldn’t do them any harm. But the truth is, it is very harmful to the skin and is important to remove especially when oil based make-ups are used. Failure to do so can attract dirt, clog skin pores and the worst of all cause skin breakouts. That is why it is not enough to just wash your face with water. If possible, wash it with a facial cleanser and still use a make-up remover afterwards. Doing this could ensure that the make-up is completely removed from your skin and also could keep your skin healthy.

One of the quickest and easiest ways to transform your look is with the use of a lipstick. You do not need to partner it with your nail polish or wardrobe but you might want to consider the clothes that you are wearing. It helps. It is important to take note that your lip color should compliment the rest of your make-up and most especially your skin tone.
People who have an olive complexion should opt to use lipsticks with warm undertone to make their skin look brighter. These colors could be light brown, raisin brown and brown reds. However, people with fair skin color should opt for warm peach or pink undertones and people with pale complexion could use just almost any shade and use dramatic shades. Moreover, dark complexioned people look best with lipsticks that are deep red with dark blue or purple undertones or lipsticks that are deep brown with purple, wine or blue undertones.

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.

One of the things that I love applying on my face the most is blush on. It is because using such makes me look fresher and blooming. Based from what I’ve read, it is said that blush on gives glow to a person’s dreary face and also brings happiness to it. But when using blush on, we must take note that we should choose the one that is nearest to the color of our skin or cheeks. Also we must be careful not to put on too much since it would make us look like a clown because sometimes it can be too red or pinkish. Just apply the right amount and be assured that you will have a more professional and pleasing look.

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.

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.

People think that it is easy to buy a make-up but I say otherwise. I find it really hard to choose one for myself because there are a lot of items to choose from and not all will suit your skin type and your color. That is why it is important to read something about make-ups and sometimes ask from experts and learn from them. Also it is a good practice to watch television shows that showcase make-up sessions. I, for one, watch local television shows that give tips on how to apply make-up and choose the color that compliments my skin. And last but not the least, try to experiment. I love doing it. Whenever I have free time, I sit in front of my mirror and just experiment with my make-up.

Women were born with different face shapes. Luckily for every type, there is a makeup trick that can enhance ones features and look. For a long, narrow face: Apply the color lesser than the lower edge of the cheekbone and stay the angle horizontal for such a face to build the width of the face. For round, square face: Apply product in the middle of the face. Do not get near on the nose. For skin, look clearer: Apply make up to the apple of your cheeks. Combine it back but do not go further than the corner of the eye.
