In
the 50's and 60's, women wore a green pancake base under their makeup
to minimise redness. Apply a green tinted primer or a green corrector
under your foundation to balance out your skin tone and reduce red
areas!
Quality is always better than quantity. If you have $50 for your entire face, don't get 10 cheap things, get 4 good-quality things ($25 foundation, $10 mascara, $10 for blush, and then a $5 lip-gloss).
Make sure your eyeliner is in a straight line, because if it's not-it will make you look sloppy.
When you apply eyeshadow, it's common for specks of color to fall onto your face. This is a pain to get rid of after you've already perfected your foundation. If this happens frequently, apply your eyeshadow first, clean up the mess and then apply foundation. Alternatively, if there are only a few specks, you can just very carefully pick them up off your skin with tweezers.
Always apply a foundation that contains at least an SPF of 15. If your foundation does not contain sunscreen, apply a separate sunscreen before starting your makeup routine. Wearing sunscreen will keep your skin looking healthy and decrease the likelihood of wrinkles. Look for something that is oil-free to reduce the chance of getting acne. It will also smell less strong.
Your make-up might also turn a different (darker) color that will not blend with your skin tone as well.
The amount and type of makeup that you wear is completely up to you. You know your face better than anyone - take the time to experiment. Makeup is, quite literally, the art of painting faces. Experimenting allows you to find what works best for you.
Have waterproof makeup remover available, and make it part of your daily routine to clean any and all make up before going to bed.
Wearing lighter colors makes it easier to avoid over-application.
Take as much time as you need. It allows you to figure out what looks best on your face. If you try to rush, you might do some damage to your skin by dragging.
If you don't have eye makeup remover, you can use baby shampoo, that way if it gets in your eyes it won't sting.
Always remember little goes a long way. You don't want to end up looking like a clown!
Younger people should go for a sheer coverage unless you have serious blemishes that need coverage.
Avoid applying too often , it will block your pores causing blemishes and pimples.
Keep your makeup in a small bag in your purse.
Petroleum jelly takes off eye makeup really well. Put it over the eyeshadow and over any eye makeup, and get a towel to wipe it off.
Sometimes they have free makeovers scheduled at the mall on a walk-in basis. It's fun, and you learn a lot about your skin without spending a ton of money.
Make sure that your lips do not look chapped or cracked before you put on lipstick. If your lips are chapped, lightly brush off the dead skin cells with a toothbrush or towel. Next, apply
chapstick with an SPF of 15 so your lips will look great all day. This way you have a nice, smooth, clean canvas to work with.
Eyeshadow sometimes falls onto your eyelashes and on oily skin, and it can smudge underneath your eye. To avoid this, use a make-up wipe or a cotton bud with a little make-up remover on it, and gently sweep it over your eyelashes from root to tip to pick up any leftover eyeshadow.
To prolong your eyeshadow staying power use an eyeshadow base. Or you can use a good vitamin E cream (this also moisturizes your skin).
When choosing eye makeup, take the occasion into consideration. For everyday makeup, just use a pencil. Black or dark brown will do. Liquid eyeliners are best for special occasions. Your eyeliner should be more natural looking for day makeup, and can be a bit heavier for evening looks. If you want a more dramatic look, dot the eyeliner under the lash line, then use the angle brush to blend. Your mascara will bring the eyes out more.
Clean your makeup brushes at least once a month with a makeup brush cleaner. Also, try not to share brushes.
If applying both lip color and eye makeup, emphasize one, or the other, never both.
Never over do it and remember a little goes a long way.
Try using tinted moisturizer instead of foundation. It looks more natural and it's much easier to match to your skin tone.
All makeup is different so make sure you get the closest color to your natural skin tone.If you want your makeup to stand out wear really colorful eye shadow in combination with red lipstick.
If you want to cover up pimples, only go with liquid spot remover then put brown blush over it. This makes it look more natural.
Know your style and work it. Show off your inner beauty with your eye makeup.
It's best to start light and add more as you need it.
If your lashes don't stay curled well, or you need to keep them curled for a long period of time, try blow drying your eyelash curler before using it. Just make sure it isn't too hot. It's like a hot roller for your eyelashes and keeps them curled even when you have a lot of heavy mascara on.
Switch up your makeup routine- do something different every once in a while, but keep it consistant.
Try to buy non-comedogenic makeup (it won't clog your pores). Read the packaging for more information.
If you are an active person who needs to wear makeup to the gym, make it waterproof.
Take into consideration your eye color, hair color, and skin tone when choosing makeup colors.
Allow yourself to purchase different mascaras to enhance length, durability, and volume to your lashes. This could a have an impact on what look you would like to achieve.
Know what and how much make-up is appropriate for your face depending on what time an occasion is held. If it is night time, use heavy make-ups but for daytime, you can keep it simple.
What ever you do, don't put on bottom eyeliner. It makes you look like a raccoon.
