How to Apply Make Up Properly

By: Cathie Alizah

Whatever your skin tone is, a touch of blush on your cheeks, a small touch of red color on your lips and defining eye makeup can make the world go round as far as your look is concerned. There is no reason for you not to put on that makeup. If you have sensitive skin, you may use a variety of cosmetic products available for youthat are mild to the skin and are specifically designed in order not to have side effects.

If you’re concerned about the environment, there are 'green' cosmetic products that you can use which will not only make you appear good – but will preserve the environment as well. If you have unpleasant skin tone, there are different shades of foundation, lipstick and blusher that will match your color and give you a pleasing appearance overall.

Know the Steps

The next question is how to apply that makeup. The reason why there is such a profession called makeup artist is because not all people are blessed with the talent to apply makeup and make other people appear nice. However, you should know the basics in putting on makeup so that you can do it on your own, especially if you’re a career woman. The first step is apply thinly some moisturizer to keep your skin from getting dry. Leave for a few minutes, then apply a concealer that should be lighter than the skin tone. The goal of the concealer is to cover any blemishes on your skin, and to reduce that 'puffy' look on the eyes.

Next, you may use a sponge or brush in applying foundation, which should be the exact color as your skin tone. This serves as the base makeup. Next, you can focus on working on the makeup for the eyes. Instead of using eyebrow pencil to highlight your eyebrows, you can use the powdered type and apply it using a slanted brush. For the eye makeup, you need to choose a dark, medium and light color. The medium color of eye shadow serves as the base, which you need to apply on the eyelid surface, stroking to the outside direction. The dark color may be used on the crease line of the eyes. The shade with the lightest color can be used to define your brow bone.

The Final Touch

Then, use the eyeliner to the lower eyelid, underneath the lashes. Use an eyelash curler, to elongate the lashes, you may use a mascara. Put the blush with a brusher on the cheek bones. Finally, choose a lip color that will perfectly match the entire makeup color, and use brush or use the traditional tube to apply the lipstick. With these basic steps in mind, you can easily apply makeup and look your best wherever you go.
