Get your make-up right

Make-up is actually meant to give you a look that is natural yet, beautiful. Here are some tips to getting.
The act right:
Looking beautiful is the key to get noticed in a social set up. To be able to do that you need have the right amount of make-up. In fact, your make-up complements your look. A make-up should highlight the important features, especially on the face. There is no doubt that make-up, makes you look beautiful but only if it is applied properly. An inappropriate make-up will only do more harm than good.
Here are a few make-up tips that should help you.
• Use gel blush or a cream blush instead of powder in a shade of pink and it will look more natural. Gels or creams are more transparent and blend smoothly. Rub them onto your cheekbones and blend upwards towards your eye for a glowing rosy complexion.
• To fix unpolished nails, fake nails into square shape, buff them to give some shine and then apply a clear coat of polish. Then rub a little cuticle oil around edges of your nails and apply rich moisturizer on your hand. In about 15 minutes your hand will have a polished look.
• The trend now is to have natural looking eyebrows and not thin, arched brows. Use a tinted brow definer or eye shadow to fill your brows if they are scanty.
• Before you sharpen your eyeliner or lip liner keep it in the freezer for about 10 minutes. The pencil will harden a little and will not break when sharpened.
• Women whose eyes are deep-set should use liquid liner instead of pencil eyeliner. Liquid liner does not smudge easily and will not smudge in the crease of the lid in deep-set eyes.
• To prevent mascara flaking off and smudging on your face, apply a thin coat of mascara on your top lashes only. Then brush your lashes with an eyelash brush to prevent clumpy mascara build-up.
• Before curling your eyelashes, heat the eyelash curler with a hair dryer for a few seconds. Test to make sure that it is not very hot and then apply it on your eyelashes. The heat will ensure that the curl stays on place on extra long eyelashes.
• Before buying a concealer or foundation, test the color on the inside of your wrist. The skin here is unblemished and will give you an idea on how the color will look on your face.
• To extend the life of your foundation mix a drop of your moisturizer to create a glowing look for your skin.
• Apply foundation after you have done your eye make-up. This way you will be able to fix any mascara or eyeliner smudges.
•  To prevent your lips from feeling dry when you apply matte lipstick, apply lip balm on your lips before start your make-up. By the time you do your eyes and the rest of the face your lips would have absorbed the balm and will be ready for the matte lipstick.
• To make lipstick last for longer shade your lips with lip liner before you apply lipstick.
• If you have applied nail polish in a sloppy fashion, then just sock your nails once they are dry in warm water for a few minutes and then rub off the extra nail polish with a finger.
• Dark eye shadow can be used as eyeliner as well. Use a very flat brush, wet it and dip it in dark eye shadow.
• Wriggle the brush into your lash line paying special attention to the space between the lashes and then use the color just above your lash line. And, here are some “to-do’s” on choosing your lipstick and putting in the apt way:
• To make your lips look beautiful anyone can wear any color, but for classicist who wants to be pointed in the right direction, some rules apply. The English rose with pink-toned skin is always suited to (look for blur reds, blur oranges and blue pinks), while darker Asian skins will enhance their features with orange-based shades.
• No lipstick color is out of bounds, but if want to play by the (traditional) rules, there will be a right red and wrong red, a right pink and a wrong pink for you. Black skins have the greatest choice of all- a whole spectrum of colors from the palest pastel to the boldest brights look great on dark complexion. Also, bear in mind that hair color is irrelevant to lipstick choice.
• Outline your lips with a lip pencil- the same shade or just a shade darker than your lipstick. Define the center curve on the upper lip with two precise strokes.
• Open your mouth wide and brush the color into the corners, so that there are no unfinished edges. Blot with a tissue paper.
• Touch up with some more color. For a more natural look for the daytime, blot again lightly with a tissue. But, if you like the shimmer on your lips for the evening, do not blot after the final application.

Considering foundation

A lot of people are hesitant to wear foundation, or “base” as it’s sometimes called, because they’re afraid of an unnatural result. Yes, foundation can look like a mask, but only if you choose the wrong product or apply it incorrectly. Take the time to think through a foundation regime so that you achieve result that suit your skin and your lifestyle.
First, decide how much coverage you need. Sheer foundation- also known as light or natural coverage-provide a see – through wash of colour with only enough camouflaging power to hide minor imperfections. Moderate coverage is a good choice for those of us with some discoloration, a few acne scars, maybe some freckles, or broken blood vessels. It is good for covering burns, birthmarks, bruising, melasma, and scars.
It is important to consider your skin type. If you have dry skin, you should avoid oil-free and oil-absorbing make-up, which will give your skin a parched, flaky finish. Those of us with oily skin should avoid moisturizing make-ups that will make skin look slick and greasy and normal skin types should stick with a formula for normal skin. Most cosmetic companies make several types of foundation, each geared towards a different skin type. Look for clues on the product’s label or packaging. If you are having trouble deciphering foundation ingredients, ask a salesperson-they’re paid to help.
Make sure you choose a foundation suitable for your skin type.
