Makeup Use for Novices
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. Naturally, however, women are the ones who apply it on their faces everyday. 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 how to apply 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, use your index fingertip to apply foundation in tiny dots and spread these to cover the entire face. 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 dark eye shadow should be used on the upper lid area while the medium shade and light shade are to be used for creases and under the eyebrow respectively. 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.
Next, use mascara to emphasize your upper and lower eyelashes. Brown mascara is better to use if you have fair complexion. 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. 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. 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. Do not combine pale lipstick with dark lip liner.
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 just the basics of cosmetic application meant as a guide for beginners.
