Being beautiful is essential to every woman. Even if some believe that beauty is not what matters, you cannot deny how good it feels to be considered beautiful by everyone. 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. Both men and women use make up, particularly for theater and play purposes. It is usually the women, though, that make use of make up on a daily basis. If you want to make yourself, and your face, more beautiful, make use of some of the tips listed hereunder in applying make up with great results. This information of free makeup tips will be especially useful for girls just learning.
To begin, the basic things you will need are concealer, face powder, foundation, eye shadow, cheek blush, mascara, lipstick, lip shimmer, and the blush brush. 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. The concealer should at least be of a shade lighter than the foundation you have. Using a sponge or just your bare fingertips, spread it all over your face to “conceal” eye bags, dark spots, blemishes, and pimples. 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.
You can proceed to the eye area once you are done with your face. 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. Line the eyelashes’ lower lid area using eyeliner. Normally, two-thirds of the lower lid is lined but you can choose to line all across it for a darker look.
The next thing that you need to do is apply your mascara on both upper and lower lashes. 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. 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. Apply your blush on the apple of your cheeks. It is advisable to smile when applying cheek blush.
Proceed with the finishing touches once you have completed doing the basics. Choose a lipstick color that complements your skin complexion and use it on your lips. Then, line your lips with lip liner; this is used after lipstick application and not prior to it. 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 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.
