How to Apply Make Up

Posted on Friday May 22, 2009 Under Intelligence

Make up comes in all shapes, types and colors. There are make up for the eyes, lips, and face. Make up makes a wonderful temporary solution to imperfect skin, pimples, and dark undereye circles. It is truly a miracle worker that makes every woman pretty.

Take note that if make up is not applied properly, you can either look years above your age or look like a total wreck. Here are some tips on how to apply make up:

• Start with cleaning the face. Before applying any make up, clean the face with a mild cleanser and tone it afterwards. A clean palette makes a beautiful work of art.

• Moisturize. It replenishes lost moisture for the skin to look hydrated and soft. Remember that even an oily face type needs moisturizer. Just pick out the right moisturizer for you – dry, oily, or combination skin.

• Minimize and Blend. The less color you wear, flattering it would be. If you want to make your lips standout by wearing a bright colored lipstick, make sure that you wear minimal eyeshadow. Or in the other hand, if you want to wear a super glittery or dark eyeshadow, tone down your lips with a nude or light colored lipstick.
