Since time immemorable women have been trying ways and means to beautify herself.And makeup is one of them.Makeup enhances the beauty of a women if applied correctly.
TIPS FOR MAKEUP
-
1)Before applying any makeup we should wash our face with water then apply ice cubes on our face.This enables the makeup to last longer.
2)Concealer is used to hide dark circles around the eyes, and is also used to cover blemishes and scars. A beige concealer is ideal for dark skins and one with natural tones for fairer skins. This should be spread evenly using a dry sponge or our fingers. Now, apply the foundation.
3)Foundation is used to enhance the colour of the complexion. Three basic types may be used, depending upon your skin type. For dry skin, liquid foundation works best whereas semi-liquid is best for combination skins. Foundation can be applied with a sponge and blended into the hairline and along the jaw for a natural finish.
4)Then apply powder.Translucent powder is used to dust the face. This helps the foundation to stay on longer. Excess powder should be brushed off. Blusher should be blended evenly along the cheekbones.
5)LIPS
-
The lips should be outlined with a lip liner so that the lipstick does not bleed. Lipstick is then applied and blended with the lip liner. Then dust our lips with powder so that the lipstick lasts for a longer period of time, and then apply the last coat.
6)EYESHADOW
-
Eye shadow colours should be selected carefully, light shadow is applied on to the lids to create a base. Darker eye shadow is then used at the outer corners of the eyes, to enhance the eyes. A kajal or kohl stick can be used in the inner eyelid to make the eyes appear even more dramatic. Mascara applied to the lashes increases this effect. Eyebrows should be sharp and tidy and should be free of all traces of makeup.
