| How
to Apply Makeup - Some Tips
by Juliet Cohen
The general rule is to use one color during the day for a professional
look and 2 or three colors during the evening to acquire that
party look. Always start from the inner side while applying
eye shadow and gradually move towards the outer end taking care
to see that the movement is more or less in a straight direction.
Using the brush, push back the color so that there is a blended
effect. To give the make up an appearance of continuity, just
blend those colors using a brush and hey presto you have a unique
combination of eye shadow.
Applying Makeup Tips
1. Do not use foundation profusely. Wash off your make-up
before retiring to bed. The particles clog the skin-pores,
and prevent the skin from inhaling fresh air.
2. For oily skin, a cake foundation is good. Avoid use of
foundation with lanolin base. However, you can use a vanishing
cream as foundation.
3. If you have a double-chin, apply dark shade foundation
underneath, it will appear balanced. You can make your chin
prominent by using light shade foundation.
4. Take into account the color of the hair when applying
lipstick. Orange shade lipstick will match black hair. For
grey hair use pink color lipstick and for golden brown hair
use scarlet shade.
Eye Makeup Tips
1. Use eye shadows to reflect your every mood. With a bit
of practice you can easily master how to apply your eye shadow.
When applying eye shadow, remember that dark colors recede
features and light colors highlight.
2. Apply the lightest shade over the entire eyelid.
3. Apply the medium shade on the lower eyelid.
4. Apply the darkest shade in the outer corner of the eye
to create depth.
5. Apply eyeliner with short strokes, starting form the center
of the eye and working towards the corners.
6. Mascara finishes your makeup. If you have dark eyes use
black, navy, dark brown or clear mascara.
7. Dark eye shadow can be used as eyeliner as well. Use a
very flat brush, wet is and dip it in dark eye shadow. Wriggle
the brush into your lash line paying special attention to
the space between the lashes and then use the color just above
your lash line.
Never apply eyeliner or use mascara before applying eye shadow
or the concealer for the total effect is ruined. Open your
eyes wide, keep the pencil in your strong hand and line the
top and then the bottom of the eyes. The pencil should not
be blunt. In case you decide to use liquid just get a little
onto a brush and gently use the tip to transfer the color.
Once the eyeliner is on, graduate to mascara. Take a dry brush,
separate the lashes and then apply a thin coat of mascara.
