Love Your Look: Makeup Tips And Tricks
By Blondie
Want to transform yourself from a plain Jane into a foxy femme? The simplest way to completely change your look is with the right makeup. You don?t have to be a pro! Just follow these basic, fun tips and tricks and you?ll totally turn heads.
Every time you apply makeup, make sure your face is freshly washed and exfoliated. You don't want to start with a dirty slate. Gather your tools, which should include a magnifying mirror and a trusty set of brushes. Start your routine with a layer of foundation. Foundation is the perfect way to blend away lines, wrinkles, red spots, dark patches and other minor blemishes. Choose a shade similar to your natural skin tone. Then, apply using a synthetic sponge or your fingertips, if you choose. Dab the foundation on first and then blend it using downward and outward strokes. Use too much? The opposite side of the sponge is perfect for removing extra foundation. Remember never to use foundation on your neck or chin -- and do everything in your power to avoid the ugly "makeup mask". That means you must pay special attention to your jawline and hairline.
Next, choose a concealer about one or two shades lighter than the foundation you chose, because a shade too light will reveal dark patches. Concealer is a wonderful way to target certain areas and ensure a flawless finish. Start by applying it in a small arc underneath your eyes - your eyelids, too, if you find that they are a little dark or discolored. A criss-cross shape formed on any red spots will help to alleviate the unsightliness of the area. Blemishes can be concealed by dabbing concealer on top of, not around, the blemish. To blend the concealer, use a dabbing or tabbing motion. If you use a side-to-side motion you will only take off the concealer, not blend it. Apply a light layer of powder by dusting it across your entire face to minimize shine. Feel free to re-apply powder throughout the day as a quick touch-up instead of re-applying concealer. For some extra color and sexiness, apply blush in a downward stroke across the cheekbone.
For
a real, simple look, add some mascara to curl your lashes and emphasize your eyes. Use a lash curler first if you wish to add some extra curl. Then, apply the mascara to the upper lashes in an upward, long, sweeping motion. You can also apply to the bottom lashes if you wish. Then, add some color and glamour to your eyes with a complementary eyeshadow. There are tons of ways to accentuate your eyes using eyeshadow, but there is one basic rule that can be adapted to create a magnitude of striking looks. The lightest color should cover most of the entire lid and extend near the edge of the eyebrow. A slightly darker shade from the same or complementary color family should be used to line the crease. Remember; use lighter colors to highlight and darker colors to add serious depth. Once you've applied eyeshadow, add a little liner. Whether you choose a pencil or a liquid liner (but only if you have a super-steady hand!), there are a few basic rules. Remember to draw as close to the lashline as possible, on both the top lid and under the bottom eyelashes. Try to draw the line in one, simple fluid motion and following the natural shape of the eye. If you have larger eyelids, make your line thicker. If you have smaller eyelids, though, stay away from thick lines and practice a fine line instead. To avoid irritation, don't line the inner rim of the eye and contact wearers make sure to put your eye on after inserting your lenses!
Finally, pucker up and add some sexiness to your pout. If you want to go all out, try some lip liner and line the natural shape of your mouth. Then, apply lip stick using a lip brush. Lip brushes are lots easier to use than a tube of lipstick that may be too wide for a small mouth. If you like to keep it au naturale, apply a tasty chapstick or non-sticky lipgloss. Your lips will look naturally pink, soft and luscious.
So go ahead and give these basic tips and tricks a try and have fun while experimenting with your face! Chances are, you won't be sorry that you did, and neither will your next handsome date.
