LIPS
---> It seems simple to pick a lipstick that looks appealing. However, the task of wearing the lipstick is a lot more complicated. Here's how to get it right.
DO.
1. Even if you've become a pro at applying that nude or pink lipstick, you can make statement with a bold plum or red as well. Surprise everyone with a fashion forward look.
2. One of the hardest parts of finding a lipstick is deciding on a matte or shine finish. For a stained look, apply lipstick, and then apply lip balm over to dull effect. Reapply during the day for more shine.
3. A bold lip color is a big statement, so make sure it matches your outfit. A red lipstick distract attention from the sparkly floral top you want to flaunt. If you're wearing neutrals and want the focus be on your smiling face, a dark plum lipstick works wonders.
DON'T.
1. Remember your lip liner should be indistinguishable from your overall lip color. Lip liner and lipstick should appear as one.
2. With a bold lip color, everything else on the face- from blush to eye colors- needs to be toned down. Don't make the mistake of pairing a vivid blue eye shadows with a bold, red lipstick, you'll end up looking bizarre!
3. If your lip liner or lipstick is slightly over your lip line, don't try to wipe it off. Instead, use a concealer brush and concealer to cover up mistakes. Swiping concealer around your lip line also helps to accentuate the shape of your lips.
TIPS!
---> Exfoliate lips makes a big different in how your lipstick look and how it glides on during applications. Exfoliate once a week to get rid of dead skin. You don't need lip treatments or scrubs; using a toothbrush, gently scrub off the dead skin, or make your own lip scrub by mixing coarse sugar and olive oil.
EYE MAKEUP
---> Not sure if you're applying eye makeup the right way? Here's how to shape and accentuate your peepers like a pro.
DO.
1. Sweep a pale pink or peach eye shadow across your upper lids for a natural look.
2. Use a shimmer pencil to highlight the inside and outside corners of eyes. This will make them look larger and wide apart.
3. Try a dramatic eye liner color across the upper lids for a striking evening look.
4. Apply a dab of white eyeliner to the inside corners of your upper lids to make them look larger.
5. Apply your lightest shade first, followed by progressively darker colors as you move to the outside and crease of the eye; blend well with a brush.
DON'T.
1. Choose a rich pink eye shadow or liner. They can make your eyes look irritated.
2. Apply a frosted or metallic eye shadow across the entire lid; the shadow can settle into fine lines, and make you look older than you actually are.
3. Line the entire eyes (upper and lower lids) in a single color. This will make your eyes appear smaller.
4. Apply white eye liner (or any eye liner) to the insides of your lower lids. Not only does it look unnatural, it also can cause infection.
TIP!
---> Don't try to wipe off overdone eye shadow. It just get messy. Instead, use a powder puff to press translucent face powder over the area to mellow the color.
BASE MAKEUP
---> It is called "base" because it is so basic! For a flawlessly- made- up- look, start learning the ropes here.
DO.
1. Always start with a freshly- washed and moisturised face.
2. Apply a primer first so concealer and foundations glide on smoothly instead of setting into lines and wrinkles.
3. Blend well. You don't want to see where the color begins or ends.
4. Use foundations on eye lids to help your eye shadows go on smoothly and to cover redness, giving your entire face an even appearance.
5. Apply concealer before foundations and you won't need as much foundations.
6. Dot concealer on the red areas around the nose to brighten your face instantly.
7. Check your make up in a magnifying mirror for flaws such as streaks, cracks, etc.
8. Finish with alight dusting of powder on areas where you normally get oily first.
DON'T.
1. Use a concealer that is too light or too dark. It will only draw more attention to those areas.
2. Apply make up in dark or dimly- lit places. Have bright light in front of the mirror.
3. Slap foundations on your face like cream or lotion. If you are using a liquid foundation, dot over face and spread out evenly.
4. Use a sponge to apply, just blend. A sponge is meant to soak things up, not put them on.
5. Forget blusher. It will make you healthier.
TIPS!
---> How to apply like a pro? If you are using..
(Liquid) Dot a pea-sized amount on T- zone and cheeks. Blend by patting skin lightly with fingertips, working outwards from middle of face.
(Powder) Using a powder brush, apply lightly to each section of your face, including your eye lids, in circular, downward strokes.
(Cream) Using a stippling brush and apply onto the face with short stippling motion.
CHEEKS
---> Getting your blusher right cab be a daunting task. Before you sweep on that electric shade of hot pink, learn how to master a gorgeous flush.
DO
1. The wrong blush color can make your complexion pasty. The right one instantly brightens sin. If you have fair, rosy skin, choose cool, blue- toned pinks. You can even get away with slightly- frosted pink blush. For, olive skin with golden undertones, skip the cool pinks, which will look grey on your skin. Stick to warm honey or peach tones. For darker skin, choose richer, deeper wines and burgundies.
2. Use a brush that really soft, bot not to big, or you could ens up looking like a clown.
DON'T.
1. When it comes to healthy glow, less is more. Start with a light dusting, or tiny dab of cream blush. You can always blend more in for an intense look. You want your blush to look natural, not cakey!
2. Not only do your fingers actually remove more blush than they put on, they also add oil and bacteria to the product , causing it to spoil faster. Use a fluffy foundation brush instead, and apply in circular motions to the apples of cheeks.
3. Instead, sweep over the apples of your cheeks. To find your apples, smile widely; they're the rounded part of your cheeks that lift when you smile. If, you don't have much in the cheekbone department, apply blush a bit higher, along the line of the cheekbone.
TIPS!
---> To make a round face slimmer, apply blusher all along your cheekbones. Got a long face? Sweep blusher on the apples of cheeks. If your face is on the square side, dab blusher on the middle of cheeks and temples.
LASHES
---> There's something about sexy bedroom eyes. They're like your favorite LBD, hot shoes and good lighting all rolled into one! To learn how to score flirt- worthy lashes, follow these easy steps.
DO.
1. Brush your real lashes first, before curling them. This helps volumise your lashes, both real and false, and make the whole lash application process easier.
2. Master the lash curler. The higher up you get your lashes, the longer they're going to look. Clamp the curler right at the base of your lash line, and then squeeze gently. Done properly, it shouldn't hurt at all. If it does, you've accidentally grabbed some skin. Do a squeeze test first.
3. Put false lashes as close to your real ones as possible. Those that creep up onto your lids are no- no.
4. Apply mascara to your bottom lashes to create a sexy, doe- eyed look. If you're worried about getting dark rings around your eyes, put tissue paper under the lashes before you start applying mascara. This way, you can coat each lash without getting smudges on your skin.
DON'T.
1. Be hasty, the reward is well worth the effort if you take the time to apply lashes correctly.
2. Think bigger is always better. If your falsies are too long and thick, you risk heading into the 'tarantula lashes' category.
3. Yank them off. Instead use eye make up remover, and gently separate falsies from the real.
4. Wear dark eye shadows out more against bare lids, so if you want to put on a little eye shadows, stick to soft, neutral shades to make sure your lashes pop.
TIPS!
---> Run a toothpick through the wand to remove excess product for clump- free lashes.
