The Perfect Makeup

September 14, 2009

perfectmakeupWe’ve all seen the makeover shows and marveled at the results. How exciting to see how just a change in color or application, or a new type of cosmetic can deliver such extreme results.

Although not many of us will be lucky enough to actually have a professional makeover, it’s easy enough to learn some tips and techniques on our own. The most important thing to consider when choosing cosmetic products is understanding the style you want and how to project it.

Know what you want to say

When choosing and applying makeup, you should always have your look firmly in mind. Do you want to exaggerate your eyes or your lips? Are you going out for a lunch date, or are you getting ready for a more formal evening?

Makeup should be chosen to enhance and draw attention to your best features, and should be based on the colors that look best on you. Don’t choose an eye shadow simply because it matches your clothes or a lipstick simply because it is in style at the moment. Know the look you want to project and choose the cosmetics that are the most flattering.

Keep it personal

Makeup should be chosen with regards to eye and skin color and age. Understand your skin tone, and choose colors that work well to enhance your best features.

As you mature, you may find that your taste in color changes. Experiment with different products, and see which colors suit you best. You’ll also find that your skin texture changes as you age.

Creamy products, such as some eye shadows, are not flattering to older women. The cream can settle into the folds of the skin and make wrinkles look more pronounced. To diminish fine lines in mature skin, consider using makeup that is powder based.

Apply your skills

A good look is built upon a good base. Always start with clean skin, followed by a layer of moisturizer. Then apply a foundation that matches your skin tone and texture.

Many foundations today contain UV shields to help protect the skin from sun damage. Proper application of makeup is important to creating the look you want. Even the most carefully chosen products won’t deliver their best results if they are used incorrectly.
