Making Up!
Base
Most of us have yellow skin, rather than pink. The most common
error made in choice of foundation, choosing a base thats
too pink! Fortunately, most cosmetic companies have now come out
with foundations with yellow pigmentation. According to US make-up
artist Kevin Aucion, Make-up should blend with the color
of the neck, not the face. These days some companies hand
out samples for trial it is always helpful to take the
sample home and try the foundation for a few days that
way you will know how you feel with it before buying the full
size. Applying foundation with a sponge, brush or your fingers
is an individual decision and should be done with whatever is
most comfortable for you, but these are few ground rules you can
work with.
A compact is best applied with a sponge
(usually comes with the compact you buy)
Liquid foundation is best applied with your fingers.Spot and smudge.
The other option is wedge shaped sponge
Loose powder foundation is best applied with a big brush.
Cream foundation is best applied with the fingers or a wedge shaped
sponge
Foundation mousse is best applied with a soft flat sponge or with
your fingers.
To dilute or for lighter coverage, you could dampen the applicator
you use before dipping into foundation
A foundation works best with a good concealer
make sure your concealer matches you skin tone perfectly.
It is best to dab on your concealer (lightly) after applying your
foundation. That way the foundation will not wipe off the concealer.
You could apply a translucent powder after to conceal the
concealer!
Mouth
The best reason to buy a lipstick is to make you feel better,
to help enhance your mood and to just add that special boost to
your life. Lipstick can provide a subtle or dramatic change to
your natural look, and will always make you feel different, like
hair color, for instance.
The worst reason to buy a lipstick is because
you think its a beautiful color or because it is the latest
rage. The color you choose should suit your complement your skin
tone, you hair color and your eyes not change them!
Lipsticks are available in four basic textures:
Glossy, sheer, creamy and matte.
Before applying any lipstick, make sure
that your lips are not chapped
