Makeup Don’Ts
There are a few things that every woman has seen and gone eek when it comes to the makeup world. Maybe it was something small, maybe it was huge. This aside, here are a few makeup don’ts that are sure to keep you on your toes.
1. Thick eyeliner. There’s nothing wrong with thin or medium eyeliner, but thick eyeliner is a bit overdone. If your eyeliner is thicker than 1/8th of an inch it’s far too much. Accidents do happen—which brings us to our solution. Short, controlled strokes. One of the causes of thick eyeliner is a lack of control. You may notice thick eyeliner especially with younger girls still learning how to apply their makeup. It’s not that they don’t want thinner eyeliner—they lack the control to apply it correctly. Small strokes make this much easier for them and anyone else suffering from thick eyeliner syndrome.
2. Tan or paleface. Like “blackface” on Halloween, tan or paleface is where your face is obviously too tan or too pale and you didn’t blend down your neck. If this happens, then you either need to blend down your neck…or choose a more natural foundation. Your foundation should be as close to your skin tone as you can possibly get it. No more than one or two shades about your natural skin tone—and even then, remember to keep blending down your neck so that the color looks even.
3. Bright blue eyeshadow and bright red lipstick. Now, on one hand, with the right makeup, this can look nice. Most of the time, however, it doesn’t look quite right. If you choose to use bright blue eyeshadow, keep your lips muted.
Invisible Makeup, How To Apply It For Naturally Gorgeous Look
Invisible Makeup – How To Apply It For Naturally Gorgeous Look
Some girls want to look fabulous for parties or for a night out on the town and will often use bright and sparkly colors. Other girls prefer a more natural look, especially for everyday activities. This is where invisible makeup comes in, and you can apply it and look gorgeous in just a few steps.
1) Cleanse: use a gentle cleanser to get rid of the oil, dirt, and dead skin on your face. Try not to use a harsh cleanser that will dry your skin.
2) Tone: using toner on your face will help to keep your skin firm.
3) Moisturize: this will help to keep your skin moist, and provide the perfect platform for smooth, even makeup.
4) Concealer: you can use concealer if you want to hide any imperfections like scars, blemishes or dark spots. This should always be put on before the foundation.
5) Foundation: apply foundation to your face, but make sure that the color matches your skin tone. Blend it in until it almost disappears.
6) Blush: blush is meant to add a bit of color to your skin and make you look more alive. Less is more, so use it sparingly on your cheeks.
7) Eye shadow: try to find a natural color that is close to your skin tone like brown or beige.
8. Powder: use translucent powder to dust your face. This will help to create a more natural look.
9) Lipstick: try and pick a shade of lipstick that is close to the natural color of your lips. If you are using lip liner as well it should be the same shade.
10) Eyeliner: if you are going to use eyeliner, try and do so subtly on the outer half of your eyelid. You may use white, black or brown to look more natural.
