Steps to have Great Makeup

Makeup adds beauty to our looks. It is very important to know how to apply makeup, as too much of makeup can spoil our look. We have provided few steps on how to apply makeup correctly.

Following are the steps to have great makeup:

• Avoid wearing too much of makeup, as it is meant to enhance features not bring negative attention to you. By wearing too much makeup, it will bring you unwanted attention.

  Dark thick eyeliner will make you look overdone and will spoil the rest of your makeup. Too much mascara looks fake. It looks especially awful if worn with thick eyeliner or dark blue eye shadow. Make sure your foundation is the same color as your skin. Foundation protects and gives the face a smooth look. The magic word is blend. The same holds true for powder - not too much. Also, be sure to merge your makeup so there are no obvious lines.

• Apply lip liner to completely cover the lips .As it adds color and your lipstick will stay on much longer. Make sure your lip liner is not prominent. In addition, your lip color should go with your skin tone; wear cool colors if you have cool coloring and warm colors if you have warm coloring. If you want to make your lips look smaller, keep your liner on the inner side of your lips.

• Wear makeup that is suitable for the occasion. If you are going to the beach, you should not wear similar makeup, which you would if you were going for a dance party or a pub. In addition, when you are in daylight your makeup should be a lighter than when you are out for the evening.

• Some women do not wear makeup because they are not sure of how to apply it and are afraid of being overdone. If you are uncertain, start with light colors in your shade. Begin slowly and add one product at a time. Maybe start with foundation, then add mascara blush or lipstick. If you are not used to wearing makeup, then using lot initially may be a little too much for you so start slowly. If you are still unsure, seek professional advice.

• When your makeup is completed, it should look natural. That means avoiding colors that conflict. If you have dark skin and hair, you will look good in darker shades; light colors will make you look washed out. If your hair and skin tone are light, then light colors will look well on you. Dark makeup will make you look older and harsh. For oily skin, it is suggested to first use oil control moisturizer and foundation. Then make sure to apply loose powder keeping pressed powder with you for touch ups.

• Your hair color should also be in harmony with your skin. If you have dark hair and you want to add color, then keep it close to the same shade. If you have light hair use light colors. As you age, your skin color will lighten so should your hair color. One last thing about hair color - if you do color your hair be sure you keep it up do not let your roots show.

• Keep your makeup look fresh all day by doing normal touch ups. Do not let your makeup fade or crease.
