Make Up Use for Beginners

All women want to look beautiful. Some say that beauty is not that important, but you have got to admit, being pretty in everyone’s eyes is still very flattering. Women usually use make up to further bring out their beauty. Basically, make up refers to any cosmetic applied on the face, to alter or enhance the appearance of women, or even men. Make up is used by both sexes, especially those in theatre. It is usually the women, though, that make use of make up on a daily basis. If you want to make yourself, and your face, more beautiful, make use of some of the tips listed hereunder in applying make up with great results. This information of how to apply makeup will be especially useful for girls just learning.

All you will need to start are the blush, blush brush, foundation, concealer, mascara, lipstick, lip gloss, face powder and eye shadow. These are the usual cosmetics women use everyday. Some of these supplies can be obtained from free make up samples that come in gift sets when you make a purchase. One line of cosmetics that I really enjoy is MAC makeup tips.

The first thing that you have to do is apply concealer in your face. You should choose a concealer with a shade lighter than that of your foundation. Using a sponge or just your bare fingertips, spread it all over your face to “conceal” eye bags, dark spots, blemishes, and pimples. If the concealer usually “cakes”, put on eye cream prior to the use of the concealer. Then, you can apply the dots of foundation in your face and spread it again until the face is entirely covered. Pressed or loose powder should be applied so both concealer and foundation will last longer.

Now that you are done with the face, you can now do your eye area. Use your eyebrow shadow and apply it using a brush. You could use some eye pencils but these usually give the eyes an unnatural look. Next, acquire some lighter and darker shades of eye shadow than the color use used earlier. The dark eye shadow should be used on the upper lid area while the medium shade and light shade are to be used for creases and under the eyebrow respectively. Line the eyelashes’ lower lid area using eyeliner. The usual application is just two-thirds of the lower lid, but if you want a darker look, line all across the lower lid.

Next, use mascara to emphasize your upper and lower eyelashes. Brown mascara is better to use if you have fair complexion. Meanwhile, if your coloring is brown-black or black, use darker colors. You could also try experimenting with different colors of mascara. However, too bright colors are to be avoided if you do not wish to be a laughingstock. After the mascara application is finished, go back to your face. Apply your blush on the apple of your cheeks. It is advisable to smile when applying cheek blush.

Proceed with the finishing touches once you have completed doing the basics. Choose a lipstick color that complements your skin complexion and use it on your lips. Get your lip liner and line it on the lips after you apply the lipstick and not before. This way, once the lipstick has worn off, there would be no remaining lip liner. Pale-colored lipstick combined with dark lip liner is a no-no.

And that is how you put on simple make up. You can choose to do your own style if you are already familiar at this. These are merely the basics of applying cosmetics in your face for those who do not know how to do it yet.
