Tips for Applying Makeup
July 15, 2009
Preparing the skin
Any beauty regimen begins with assessing the skin tone and condition. The skin needs to be prepared well in advance to provide a canvas for applying the makeup. Cleaning, toning, and moisturizing are the three elements to conditioning one’s skin.
Makeup application starts with foundation – which is either liquid or the more recent mineral powder, which seeks to even out the skin. The shade of foundation must be a closest match the skin tone to avoid a painted on look. A concealer is then applied to hide any blemishes, spots, or spider veins. This is applied deftly with a concealer brush or fingertips.
Eyes, being the index of the face need to be made up, next. There are several creams to treat the area around the eyes, which is very sensitive and delicate.
These creams help prevent crow’s feet, wrinkles, and puffiness around the eyes. An ideal way to do this is to use the fingertips to dot the cream around the eyes and massage gently in circles around the area. The eyes are highlighted using an eye shadow.
This is merged well into the lid – More than 1 color can be used to achieve a subtle shade- Of course, more flashy colors are used by youngsters! Eye shadow can be the cream or powder type depending on the skin type.
Eyeliner is then used to define the shape of the eyes- again this can be in the form of a pencil liner or a liquid liner. Mascara is finally used to highlight the lashes and complete the look.
Next, we concentrate on the lips- Lips need to be kept well moisturized and buffed of dead skin. A natural color or gloss may be used. One may also want to wear a lip color to match their clothing.
Lip color is a matter of choice, however, as a thumb rule; light colors are used for the day and deeper colors for the night. A lip liner can be used to define the lips. A lip liner is normally a shade darker than the lipstick in order to define the lips clearly.
