How To Do Your Makeup Flawlessy


Dry/sensitive skin: choose a thicker cream/ointment that locks moisture in.
Normal skin: choose cream moisturizers that are hydrating.
Oily/young skin: choose a water based lotion.


Apply the foundation. To get your skin dewy and radiant use an illuminator. Just mix a pea-sized amount of illuminator with your foundation and you’ll get glowing skin. Apply the foundation with a foundation brush if you have one or use your fingers. Some people like using brushes, but you may prefer fingers because it’s easier, just remember to wash your hands before. Put a bit of foundation on the back of your hand, dab a bit of foundation onto your fingers and smooth it onto your face. Make sure to get your jawline, ears and around your eyes. Remember: foundation is meant to even out your skin tone. Don’t use it to add color or completely cover blemishes.

Apply the concealer on any zits or redness on your skin , use a small brush to stipple it on and dab it with your fingers to blend it in.
Conceal any dark circles under your eye by applying the concealer in a triangle shape. Blend the outer corners of the triangle with your fingers. Don’t forget to conceal the inner corners of your eyes as they are generally darker than the rest of your eyes.


Find a blush that suits your skin tone and apply it on the apples of your cheeks.
To prevent your face becoming shiny you can use oil blotting sheets. You can find them in any drugstore or store where they sell beauty products. They’re cheap, reduce shine, and don’t disturb makeup. Bring these along with you.

Curl your lashes. Curl your eyes for about 15 seconds on each side.
Use an eyelash extender. The fibers from this connect and make lashes much longer.
Apply a waterproof mascara. Wait for each coat to dry before applying another to avoid clumps.
Apply eyeliner. Liquid or pencil, top or bottom, eyeliner can be applied in many ways and looks good in different ways depending on the eye shape, color, and size. You’ll really just have to experiment with this.
Color your brows if they aren’t even with an eyebrow powder, choose a color that is close to your eyebrow color. Apply a brow gel to keep your eyebrows in place.


WHIP THOSE LIPS INTO SHAPE!
Here are a few simple tricks and handy how-tos that can help you make the most of your beautiful smile. Size ’em up, size ’em down — create the lips you’ve always wanted!
TO MAKE LIPS LOOK FULLER
Pick a lipstick and lip liner in matching shades — choose lighter colors, since darker tones can make lips appear smaller. Use your lip pencil to define lips. Go to the outermost edge of lips but no further — do not go outside the natural lip line. Then fill in entire area with lip liner. This will “hold” lipstick longer. Apply your lipstick over lipliner.

TO MAKE LIPS LOOK WIDER
Instead of plumping up thin lips, try accentuating your mouth’s wonderful width! Use a liner that perfectly matches your lipstick and line the extreme edges of lips, extending out to corners. Fill in with lipstick color, then top with gloss on middle of lips only.

TO MAKE LIPS LOOK THINNER
Trace inside the natural lip line, and fill in with your lipstick. Picking a matte shade will also make lips appear smaller.

TO ADD NATURAL DEFINITION
Give your lips a strong line using a neutral colored pencil, then fill in with a sheer gloss blended gently to the edges by a few strokes of the lip brush. The result is naturally shimmery and moist-looking lips.

EYESHADOW CHOICES
So many shadow shades and formulas. Find the right one for you!

Simple and sophisticated, matte shadows can define and enhance your natural eye color. Use a deep brown matte shadow in the crease of the eye to create a sculpted eye look that pops.

Shimmers reflect light and instantly brighten the eye. Select a neutral shade for a simple day look or pump up the nighttime drama with a brighter shimmering shade.

Powder eyeshadow comes packed in small single compacts, as a palette featuring multiple shades, or in pots. Apply using an eyeshadow brush or eyeshadow applicator.

Cream eyeshadow usually comes in stick form or pot form. Apply using clean fingertips or by gliding the stick across eyelids. Cream eyeshadows tend to have a subtle shimmery effect.
