Ten Easy Steps on Applying Make-up

Looking beautiful is what everybody wants to have. So it is important to know the techniques and the correct way of putting make-up on our face. Here are a few tips to consider in speeding up our daily routine and achieving the best results on our face.

· Apply a concealer that is lighter than your foundation. Dot it over on any blemishes or under-eye circles and blend with your fingertips or a makeup sponge. If you’re using a cake concealer, apply the eye cream first.

· Choose foundation that matches exactly with your skin tone. Apply it in dots over the central part of your face; blend it out with a makeup sponge or using your fingertips until it covers your entire face.

· Use a loose or pressed powder to keep foundation and concealer stay longer on your face. Use pressed powder to touch up when you're away from home.

· Do your eyebrows next. Use powdered eyebrow shadow on brows instead of pencil, which can often look unnatural. Apply it with a hard, slanted brush.

· Choose three colors of eye shadow: light, medium and dark. Use the dark only to line your upper eyelid, in a fairly thin line along the upper lashes. Use the medium shade for the crease and the lightest shade for the area under the eyebrow.

· Apply eyeliner. Use cake eyeliner with a damp, thin liner brush, or an eyeliner pencil, and line the lower lid below the lashes. Line only the outer two-thirds of the lower lid, or all the way across if you're trying to achieve a darker look. Line all the way across the upper lid or start the line where your lashes begin.

· Apply mascara to upper and lower lashes, in two thin coats to avoid clumsiness. Choose brown mascara if your coloring is fair; black or brown-black works well for darker coloring.

· Smile to find the apples of your cheeks, and apply blush to the apples or below, whichever you prefer.

· Choose a lipstick color that's suited to your skin tone and that's perfect for your day look. You can mix colors and textures to suit your moods and your outfit.

· Line lips after applying lipstick, not before. That way you won't end up with a dark circle of lip liner after your lipstick has worn off. Avoid combining very dark lip liner and pale lipstick.

Being conscious with how we look is important especially when we are dealing with people.
