Make up application - hints and tips
Always ensure you face is scrupulously clean
before applying make up, otherwise you will just
trap bacteria under your make up. After
your face is clean apply toner and then
moisturizer. Only then should you apply
your make up.
Properly applied make up can and should leave
your face looking flawless and natural.
If necessary, get help from cosmetic staff to
choose the correct foundation for your skin and
colouring. Foundation is the basis of your
make up and it is important to get it right.
Your foundation must match well with your neck
because you will be blending it down to you
neck. When sampling foundations in a shop
you must trial the colour and then go outside in
the sunlight to check it before making your
final decision.
When buying foundation you should choose one
with a sun protection factor of at least 15+.
If you have older and/or drier skin then it may
be better for you to buy a richer foundation
that will improve the moisture level of your
skin. Oilier skin may require a water
based foundation.
When choosing a blusher find one that is as
close as possible to your own cheek colour when
you blush. Remember you want your make up
to your face a natural look. To do this
you may have to gently pinch one cheek
People with blonde/fair hair may prefer to use
brown mascara as it looks more natural than
using black.
When using lipstick try using a lip brush.
You will get far more use from your lipstick by
doing this.
A lip brush is also better for applying lip
gloss.
If you use concealer then you must apply it
after you have applied foundation, not before.
Apply foundation or concealer to your lips
before putting lipstick on. The lipstick
then stays on better.
If you have small eyes and wish to make them
look larger then stick to lighter colours of eye
shadow.
After applying make-up spray your face with a
fine mist of mineral water.
