How to Apply Makeup

How to Apply Makeup

Makeup can greatly enhance a woman’s physical features. Unfortunately, not everybody can do it the proper way. There are many different methods of applying makeup, and more often, they depend on one’s skin color, shape of the eyes and shape of the lips, among others.

Apply MakeupUsually, the makeup process begins with having the right tools. As a makeup artist or simply a makeup user, you must invest in makeup tools, such as sponge, concealer brush, powder brush, blusher brush, eyebrow brush, several eyeshadow brushes, lip brush, eyelash curler, and good quality mirror.

Wash your face clean, then apply concealer on dark spots on your face, including the dark circles under your eyes. Blend it well using a concealer brush. Next, dot a small amount of foundation on your face, blending it well with concealer. Do your eyes next. Choose at least three shades of colors. Brush the lightest shade over the area from the eyelid to below the brow line. This should serve as your base. Use the medium shade for the crease, and the darkest shade to line the lash line above the upper eyelid. Use eyeliner to define your eyes further. Smudge it a bit to soften the effect. For more dramatic eyes, apply a coat or two of mascara

Next, work on your cheeks. Smile broadly to locate your cheekbones. This is where you will apply your blush. Dip your full rounded blush brush into your powder blush and blend the color into your cheeks. If the color comes on too strong, tone it down with some loose powder.

Complete your look with lipstick. Line your lips with a lip lining pencil and cover the inside portion with lip color of the same shade as your lip pencil. Use a lip brush to do this so the whole outlined area will be covered. Top this with a lip gloss and you are ready to party, girl!

How to tweeze your eyebrows

Unfortunately the majority of us don't have the perfect shaped face in terms of what the fashion industry dictate ,but we can look fantastic ,sometimes even better with the right tools and the right know how!

Just like a good picture frame ,creating an illusion is more than halfway to capturing beautiful scenery.

As a guide ,if your hair is straight and your features refined ie slender nose ,smallish mouth ,then your eyebrows look best thin and refined too.
The thicker of more volume the hair and larger the face ..so to allow thicker eyebrows...

How to tweeze your eyebrows

NEVER pluck above your natural eyebrow line ,for this is your natural eyebrow shape,therefore base-line.

Begin at the middle of your brow and work outwards. Grab the hair as close to the root as possible because it is thicker closer to the roots,a cleaner removal ,slowing down regrowth.
Always pluck in the direction the hair grows in. How to pluck those stray hairs between your brows ? Just tweeze them out, for pretty definition of two separate eye-brows.

How to make your eyes look bigger

How to make your eyes look bigger

How to make your eyes look bigger

If you have smaller eyes, trying to make them look wider can seem like a daunting task, but there are a number of things that you can do to help make your eyes look bigger and more open.



Step 1: Apply a highlighter to your browbone, blend it all the way down onto your eyelids, this will reflect the light and make the whole eye area appear much larger.



Step 2: Apply foundation all over your eyelids, apply a little to the mid lengths of your eyelashes too, this will give the mascara a nice even base and make the effect much more noticeable.



Step 3: Using an eye pencil draw a line as close to your top lashes as possible on your eyelids, gently smudge with a cotton bud or your clean finger. You can use whatever colour you like, you don’t have to stick with basic black, you can use any colour, lilac looks great with green eyes, green suits brown eyes and brown brings out blue eyes, hazel eyes can wear any colour!



Step 4: Apply eyeliner close to your bottom lashes, start at the outer corner of your eye and the line should stop at the centre of your eye when you are looking in the mirror.



Step 5: Apply mascara, remove the wand from the tube and hold for about one minute, this is a trick used by make up artists to stop the mascara from clumping. Hold the wand at the base of your lashes and move it up gently moving it from side to side, this ensures that all of the lashes are coated. Allow the first coat to dry and apply a second.

When you are applying mascara, don’t forget your bottom lashes, hold the wand vertically and sweep it from side to side, apply 2 coats.



Step 6: Apply a white or neutral coloured eyeliner inside your eyes, this will help to reduce any redness and make your eyes appear wider and more awake.



Step 7: Don’t over pluck your eyebrows, if your eyebrows have gaps, fill them in with a brow pencil.
