The main objective of makeup application is to emphasize one's
good
facial features and minimize less attractive features. Since
each person has unique features, there is no one ideal way to
apply makeup. Applying cosmetics is an art. Anyone can put
makeup on themselves and make the application look okay, but we
will provide you with tips for applying makeup to perfect your
look.
It is always preferable to consult a beautician prior to
selecting the best mode of make up. It is he who will advice you
on the best way to go about it and make you look more glamorous
taking the shape of your face into consideration.
Tips For
Using Makeup
Before applying your makeup in the morning, make sure you
thoroughly cleanse your face. Apply a moisturizer to the skin.
Preferably a moisturizer with a sun screen, such as Shade
Lotion.
Make sure your hands are clean before you touch your face. When
applying the foundation, use a sponge. This will give a velvety
look.
Avoid wearing a dark foundation. You want the foundation to
blend with your skin tones. When foundation does not match your
skin tone, you will have a noticeable make-up line. 
If you use too much foundation and powder at one time, it can
give the face a "caked-on" appearance.
The first step in applying a complete makeup application is to
reduce the darkness under the eye with a concealer and then
apply a foundation to even out your skin tone. Whether you start
your application with the concealer or the foundation depends
more on personal preference than anything else.
Once that is done, the eye liner, eye shadow, mascara and blush
can be applied. One should always feather the eye liner. You
never want a sharp, hard line.
The purpose of eye shadow is to shape and accentuate the eye,
not color it. Do not overuse eye shadow. The face looks more
attractive when you use natural colors.
Blush is used to accentuate the cheek bone. This is to be
applied sparingly and should look very natural.
It is important to use a makeup brush for putting on eye shadow
and blush. A good cosmetic brush is an excellent blending tool.
The two rules to follow when choosing the right makeup brush
are:
The brush should match the size of the area it is to be used on.
Brushes should not be so stiff that they scratch the face, nor
so soft as to be floppy and difficult to control.
When wearing makeup, you should always wear lipstick. The color
should blend with the other make-up applied. The lips are one
feature that can look good on anyone with the correct makeup.
Never go to bed with your makeup on. When the makeup is left on
overnight it will clog the pores. It prevents the skin from
shedding and may cause blemishes and/or blackheads. The skin
needs to breathe overnight.
It is completely up to you as to how much makeup you choose to
wear. You do not need to wear a foundation or any other part of
a makeup look if you do not want to. It is all a matter of
preference.
