Perfect Makeup

Did you know their are some basic steps to applying makeup. So here they are the steps to perfect makeup every time:

Step 1: Foundation
Every one knows that foundation should match the shade of your skin, Be sure to blend very well foundation should cover what is not wanted to be seen but should not be seen itself.
* Tip: use a shimmering moisturizer under foundation to make your skin glow, as well as make foundation blend easier.

Step 2: Dark circles:
Always go with a concealer that is only one shade lighter than your skin tone, be careful not to lay it on too thick apart from the fact it will look like your wearing too much makeup it can damage the delicate skin under the eye.
*Tip: you can actually use eyeshadow as a concealer instead, if the dark circles are gray use a light pink eyeshadow under your foundation and if they have a blueish hue use a peach eyeshadow.

Step 3: Powder
Less is more when it comes to powder, a transparent powder is best because you don't want it to add to the foundation.
*Tip: Before applying powder blot your face with a tissue, this will remove excess oil and help prevent your face from looking shiny.

Step 4: Blush
Only apply blush to the apple of your cheeks, again start out with a small amount and build the color up. Remember it is always easier to add more than to take away too much.
*Tip: However if you do add too much blush don't panic you don't have to start over, simply moisten a sponge and dab your cheeks, this with dilute the color and return it to something acceptable.

Step 5: Lovely Lips
Basically only one rule applies make sure you wear the lipstick that is right for your skin tones, hair color, and eye color.
For a more dramatic look in the evening wear a darker shade and for a professional look during the day wear tinted lip gloss. Lip liner is also a plus, it prevents the lipstick from feathering, and if you have thinner lips you can create the illusion of fuller lips.
*Tip: If you want shimmering lips, apply a sparkling eyeshadow over the lipstick to create a shiny new shade absolutely free!!!

Step 6: elegant eyes
As long as it is applied in a constant line your eyeliner can be as bold as you wish, however try to avoid outlining the whole eye as this can lead to a raccoon look. Again eyeshadow should match skin tone, hair color, and eye color. Use lighter shades during the day and darker shades in the evening. More than one shade can be worn at a time, however be sure to blend and go from darker to lighter, ending with the lighter shade at the brow line. Mascara should be applied in thin layers building up the color and the length of the lash, this will avoid clumping.
*Tip:Blend your eyeliner with a thin layer of eyeshadow, this will make your eyes look magnetic!!
