Tips for Natural-Looking Makeup
Makeup is all about sensing the true needs of your skin and facial features and making them stand out in the most impressive manner without overdoing anything. Although this art has evolved into a science and requires sheer expertise for making it happen beautifully, but you can easily do it at home as well by sticking to the handy tips mentioned below:
- Start with your skin moisturizing. Apply a good quality moisturizer or skin softener evenly on your skin and keep it hydrated. Make sure there are no dry patches anywhere on your skin where you intend to apply make-up later on.
- Bring in concealer and apply lightly on the areas that have an uneven skin tone, especially on your dark circles. Pick the shade that blends naturally into your original skin tone for giving your skin a smoother look.
- Now apply a fine layer of foundation all over your skin using a foundation stick. Usually people perform this step inappropriately and end up being overloaded with foundation and appearing like zombies with rather bland faces. To avoid this situation, use the color that is closer to your real complexion. For party or wedding makeup, this layer gets a bit heavier as different kinds and shades of foundation are applied on the skin. Finish off the base by topping it with face powder if necessary to absorb any unwanted oil that might show up on the skin.
- Now define the contours of your face with the blusher. Prefer using a cream blusher of darker shade but don’t apply too much of it. Apply over the apples and slowly work it up to the temples.
- Now apply a shimmery eye shadow as the base on your eye lids. Then apply softer and lighter colors for a natural look while the glittery or darker shades for preparing your eyes for the evening look. Apply mascara over eye lashes, curl them up a little and apply liner according to your eye’s shape to add definition to your eye makeup.
- Finally apply the lip color that complements your overall appearance for the day. A matte lip color in softer shade will be a good option for the natural make up while a glossy lip color will do for the formal evening look.
Some Major Make-Up Mistakes to Avoid
Achieving a desired look through makeup is quite easy if you do it with interest and have fun while doing it. But you also need to be careful at each of the above mentioned steps as a minor mistake can ruin your look entirely. Some major make-up blunders along with their solutions are discussed below:
- Girls usually stretch their eyes when applying eye shadow or liner. This gives a creased look to the eye makeup and can even be harmful for the delicate skin of this area. This is advised by the experts that skin should be left relaxed especially while applying the eye makeup for an even and smoother result.
- Shape of your eye brows matters a lot! Generally ladies apply eye pencil heavily all over the brow for making them appear thicker than usual. These ladies end up into wild-looking brats. Experts say that use eye pencil only for highlighting your true eye brow shape instead of re-creating it. Just add touches with the pencil and spread them with the brush on the entire brow.
- Remember the ladies with the dark pink circles drawn on their cheeks on your birthday party? Those ladies were the classic cases of an overdone blusher. They probably had applied the color on the lower end of their cheeks or had applied too much of the color that made them appear more animated and unreal. Avoid this blunder and keep this part soft and simple. Apples of the cheeks are the only parts that need to be blushed on but in a very soft manner. Also keep it well blended and don’t let the color appear segregated or striped.
- Next blunder is applying lip color on dried lips. This will only exacerbate the condition of your lips. Therefore, moisturize your lips using a proper balm or ointment before applying the lipstick. Then starting with the center of the lips, spread the color evenly on the lips and merge it well.
- Biggest mistake of all times is that ladies use the tone of the foundation and color of the eye shadow and lipstick that do not suit their complexion at all. Ladies! Personal liking should be given importance but not at the cost of your personality. Always use those colors that make you look decent and natural in a beautiful manner.
