The Right Shade of Foundation

7.jpgMakeup is used to make someone look and feel better and boosts up the confidence of women. Different colors and textures of makeups can do wonders for you, accentuating and making your face look more radiant, thus improving your appearance.
Women sometimes find it difficult to find the right color of foundation for their skin. Experts say, that women with brown complexion should blend two shades of foundation or apply different shades of foundation to different parts of the face. Some women even prefer to have their own shade of foundation. Custom blending is now an advance for women with brown skin. However, it is more expensive than those ready-made foundations that can be bought in stores. But if you still can’t find the right shade for you, it is better to consult a makeup expert for advice.

Steps In Applying Make Up

It is always essential that you apply makeup on a clean skin. Putting makeup in an unwashed face will only clog up the pores and will lead to bigger problems like acnes.
Having a perfect mouth will give you the option to not use a pencil to line your lips and just follow your natural lip line instead. Brushing your lipstick (using a brush or a wand) will be enough. If you desire to have an upper lip that looks protruding, do it with a highlighter or a lighter foundation to make the light reflect thus, making your lip look more protruding.

Make Up for the Eye

One trick that experts keep in mind is that, light colors will highlight the eye, while dark colors will tame them. To make widely-spaced eyes look closer, draw your eyebrows nearer together and blending in the eye shadow near the nose will do the trick.

Women who are more than 18 years old, should avoid applying foundation to the crease of the eye. Apply loose powder instead. For puffy eyes, apply a highlighter or a light-shade foundation under the eyes to make the light refract and give the illusion that your eyes are even with your face.

Lip Liner and Gloss

Choosing the right shade of lip liner and lip gloss is always the first step. The right lipstick is also essential. Choose the lipstick which is long lasting and looks good when you pout.
Use a lip liner to help form the natural shape of your lips before applying lipstick. For more fullness, apply a line just outside your natural lip line, and a line just inside your lipline to make your lips look thinner.
Lipgloss with essential oils is great for your lips. Wearing lip gloss alone will give you a more pretty and natural look.
