Being beautiful is essential to every woman. Some say that beauty is not that important, but you have got to admit, being pretty in everyone’s eyes is still very flattering. Women usually use make up to further bring out their beauty. Make up is typically any cosmetic applied to a woman, or even a man’s face to change or improve the appearance. Make up is used by both sexes, especially those in theatre. It is usually the women, though, that make use of make up on a daily basis. If you want to enhance your face’s appearance, thus enhancing your beauty as well, you could use the following tips on applying cosmetics. This information of makeup will be especially useful for girls just learning.
All you will need to start are the blush, blush brush, foundation, concealer, mascara, lipstick, lip gloss, face powder and eye shadow. These are the usual cosmetics women use everyday. Some of these supplies can be obtained from free makeup samples that come in gift sets when you make a purchase. One line of cosmetics that I really enjoy is MAC makeup tips.
The first thing that you have to do is apply concealer in your face. You should choose a concealer with a shade lighter than that of your foundation. Put this concealer over blemishes, under-eye circles or acne and spread it on your face thoroughly using either your fingertips or the sponge. If the concealer usually “cakes”, put on eye cream prior to the use of the concealer. Then, use your index fingertip to apply foundation in tiny dots and spread these to cover the entire face. Pressed or loose powder should be applied so both concealer and foundation will last longer.
Now that you are done with the face, you can now do your eye area. Using a brush, apply some eye shadow. You could use some eye pencils but these usually give the eyes an unnatural look. Next, use light, medium and dark shades of the eye shadow color you chose to apply earlier. The dark eye shadow should be used on the upper lid area while the medium shade and light shade are to be used for creases and under the eyebrow respectively. Line the eyelashes’ lower lid area using eyeliner. The usual application is just two-thirds of the lower lid, but if you want a darker look, line all across the lower lid.
Next, use mascara to emphasize your upper and lower eyelashes. Brown mascara is better to use if you have fair complexion. Meanwhile, if your coloring is brown-black or black, use darker colors. You could also try experimenting with different colors of mascara. However, too bright colors are to be avoided if you do not wish to be a laughingstock. Once the mascara is done, go back to your face. Put some cheek blush on your face. It is advisable to smile when applying cheek blush.
Proceed with the finishing touches once you have completed doing the basics. Find a lipstick color that goes well with your skin tone and apply it on your lips. Get your lip liner and line it on the lips after you apply the lipstick and not before. This way, once the lipstick has worn off, there would be no remaining lip liner. Pale-colored lipstick combined with dark lip liner is a no-no.
And that is how you put on simple make up. If you are already good at this, then you should do your own thing. These are merely the basics of applying cosmetics in your face for those who do not know how to do it yet.
