All women want to look beautiful. Some say that beauty is not that important, but you have got to admit, being pretty in everyone’s eyes is still very flattering. The common thing that females use to enhance their beauty is make up. Basically, make up refers to any cosmetic applied on the face, to alter or enhance the appearance of women, or even men. Both men and women use make up, particularly for theater and play purposes. Naturally, however, women are the ones who apply it on their faces everyday. 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 and everyday cosmetics of women. Some of these supplies can be obtained from free samples of makeup 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. The concealer should at least be of a shade lighter than the foundation you have. 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, you can apply the dots of foundation in your face and spread it again until the face is entirely covered. For the concealer and foundation to last longer, apply pressed powder after.
Now that you are done with the face, you can now do your eye area. Use your eyebrow shadow and apply it using a brush. 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 medium shade will be applied on the creases, the lighter shade under the eyebrows, and the darker shade on the upper lids. Use eyeliner to line the lower lid area of your lashes. 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. If you have fair complexion, use brown mascara. On the other hand, if you have ebrown complexion, use darker shades of mascara, preferably black. You could also try experimenting with different colors of mascara.You should not use excessively bright colors, though, if you do not want to be laughed at. After the mascara application is finished, go back to your face. Put some cheek blush on your face. It is best to smile when applying brush.
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, the lip liner also disappears as the lipstick wears off. Pale-colored lipstick combined with dark lip liner is a no-no.
And that is how basic make up is applied. 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.
