Are you confused about how to put on makeup? Do you struggle when
trying to look your best? Well if you are having these problems perhaps
you need some tips? In this article we will share 8 helpful tips so that
you can look your very best each and every time.
Cleanliness Is Vital
Before
you even start to apply any makeup, it is vital to ensure that your
hands are clean. Unclean hands will contaminate your face with bacteria,
oil dirt or other debris. This often will lead to acne, especially in
teenagers. Another benefit of having clean hands is that it will help to
ensure your makeup goes on without any problems.
Start With A Primer
After
ensuring that your hands are clean, the first step is to start with
what is known as a primer. Since there are so many different types of
primers, it is important to select one the will enhance the natural
beauty of your skin. Some types of primer can be used to tone down skin
colors. While other kinds of primers can be used to treat your skin if
it is dirty, oily, or prone to acne. Which ever type of primer you
decide to use, it will be the first thing that you apply to your skin.
Along with helping to correct minor skin problems, a good primer will
also help your foundation stay on better.
Brush Quality Counts
When
applying makeup it is important that you use a good quality brush.
While there are many cheap brands of makeup brushes, many do not apply
makeup as well as a brush of good quality. It is also essential that you
clean your makeup brushes regularly. Don't be fooled into buying some
expensive cleaning solution since shampoo or a mild hand soap works just
as well and is much cheaper. Signs that your brush needs cleaning is
when you notice that is does not appear to be working as well as when
you first bought it.
Use Natural Light
The
best type of lighting for applying makeup is natural light. The
advantage of natural light is that is shows you what your makeup really
looks like on your skin. Different types of lighting can distort the
look of your makeup. So to attain the actual look of your makeup, make
sure that you apply it under natural light so that you can see what it
really looks like.
Skin Care
It is
fundamentally important to take good care of your skin. When your bare
skin is looking great, so will the makeup that is being applied over the
skin. Effective skin care can be as simply as ensuring that you wash it
well at least twice per day, apply a moisturizer and if you are going
outdoors for any length of time, always apply a good quality sunscreen.
The key point here is that the better your face appears before applying
makeup, the better it is going to look with the makeup on.
Lip Balm
Prior
to applying any lip stick or lip gloss it is important to prepare your
lips first by using a lip balm. The purpose of the lip balm is to
protect your lips from chapping or pealing. A secondary role of the lip
balm is to behave like a primer for your lip stick or lip gloss and to
keep it looking fresher.
Eye Shadow Colors
When
you are deciding on a color of eye shadow to use it is important to
remember that you want colors that will highlight your eyes, not match
your natural eye color. For example if your eyes are green, then do not
select a green eye shadow, but instead go with a brown or black eye
shadow color.
Keep It Real
Many young
girls and even some women make the mistake of thinking the more makeup
you can apply the better you will look. In actual fact, when it comes to
makeup, less is more. What this means is that putting on too much
makeup may make you appear even less attractive, or to put in another
way, using less makeup can give you better results than over doing it.
So when in doubt, always decide on using the bare minimum amount of
makeup that you need to look attractive.
By applying these simple,
but effective tips on how to put on makeup you will find it much easier
to get the results you want with much less effort and frustration.
