Make Up Application for Beginners
All women want to look beautiful. Some say that beauty is not that important, but you have got to admit, being pretty in everyone’s eyes is still very flattering. Women usually use make up to further bring out their beauty. Basically, make up refers to any cosmetic applied on the face, to alter or enhance the appearance of women, or even men. Make up is used by both sexes, especially those in theatre. It is usually the women, though, that make use of make up on a daily basis. If you want to enhance your face’s appearance, thus enhancing your beauty as well, you could use the following tips on applying cosmetics. This information of makeup 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 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.
Applying concealer all over your face is the first step. You should choose a concealer with a shade lighter than that of your foundation. Using a sponge or just your bare fingertips, spread it all over your face to “conceal” eye bags, dark spots, blemishes, and pimples. Put some eye cream first if the concealer “cakes”. 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.
You can proceed to the eye area once you are done with your face. Use your eyebrow shadow and apply it using a brush. There are also pencils, but these can sometimes give unnatural-looking results. Next, acquire some lighter and darker shades of eye shadow than the color use used 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. The usual application is just two-thirds of the lower lid, but if you want a darker look, line all across the lower lid.
Next, use mascara to emphasize your upper and lower eyelashes. 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. 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.
Once you are now done with the basics, you can put the finishing touches. Choose a lipstick color that complements your skin complexion and use 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 merely the basics of applying cosmetics in your face for those who do not know how to do it yet.
