How to Apply Make-up

By on November 18, 2010

Every woman wants to look beautiful. But of course, none of us have perfect features. This is where make up comes into play.

Make up, if applied properly, can hide flaws and enhance your best features. All you need to have are the right make up tools and some skills which can be acquired with the right guidance and practice.

As a first step, you should always apply a base for your make up. Start by applying concealer on dark spots, circles and scars. Cream concealers work best since they blend into the skin.

The concealer should be a shade lighter than your original skin tone. After this apply a thin layer of foundation with a make-up sponge. The foundation should be a shade darker than your original skin tone. To ensure even application, it would be best to moisten the sponge with water.

Remember that the aim of make-up is to further beautify your appearance and it is certainly not to make you look made up. Hence, do not get overzealous with the application of foundation and concealer. You should keep it as natural looking as possible.

After this apply eye shadow to your eyelids. Apply another lighter color to the crease of your eyes and then the lightest color to the portion below your eye brows. After this, apply a thin line of eyeliner and then gently smudge it with a smudging brush to make it look as soft as possible. Thereafter, curl your eyelashes with an eyelash curler and apply 2-3 coats of mascara.

Now, take some cream blush and apply it on the apples of your cheeks. To see the apples of your cheeks clearly, smile to yourself in a mirror. Apply the blush only to the upper part starting from the corners of the nose. Also, apply a dab of blush to the tip of your chin and the middle of your forehead. It is very important to blend it well.

Coming to the lips, start by highlighting the corners with a lip liner. The lip liner should be close to the natural color of your lips but a little darker than it. After this apply a light coat of a lipstick. Press a tissue against your lips to bring out the excess color and then as a final step apply a coat of your favorite lip gloss.

Step out gorgeous!!
