We all put on makeup (at least some of the time), but is
your technique yielding the best possible results? Here are some of the ways
one can apply and look good and classy without overdoing
Never put concealer or foundation on
your eyelids as a base, it will cause your eye makeup to crease.
Use your fingers to apply your
foundation if you want sheer coverage and a brush if you more polished, medium
to full coverage.
Always apply powder where you are
shiniest first, which it usually your T-zone, with a very light dusting
everywhere else.
You should put bronzer on your neck,
face, and chest to even out your skin tone. Be sure to take a step back and
make sure everything is the same color.
When
applying blush, first smile, then start on the apple of the cheek, blend the
blush back towards the top of the ear, then down toward the jawline.
Always apply your brow pencil or
powder to the upper portion of the eyebrow to lift your face up.
You want to make sure your lipstick
is not too defined at your cupid's bow (the top of your lip), and that it goes
all the way out to the inner corners of your mouth. Be sure to press down hard
as you apply.
Always start with a base shadow
without any shimmer that matches the lightest skin tone on your face and apply
all over your lid up to the brow. You should use this base shadow to make sure
the darker shadows used on your lid up to the crease are properly blended.
