Moreover, as makeup tends to be worn on more than one type of occasions ranging from casual to classy to the deep accented look, choosing the right products in order to enhance your natural appeal and charm is essential.
The following are a few beneficial makeup tips and a brief description regarding the five essential beauty products one should use. This brief description will surely help make the realm of cosmetics and their application more comprehensible.
Concealer:
Concealer is the most basic makeup element one should use on their skin, before starting off with their makeup. It serves by hiding the blemishes on the skin by giving it a more smooth effect. Buy a good concealer, preferably a creamy, yellow-based variety that is one shade lighter than your original skin tone. It can work wonders on those unexpected acne breakout days and hide a multitude of skin flaws such as pimples, dark circles and even patchy lip tones. Learn to apply concealer properly and blend it well with the skin so as to avoid it from grabbing more attention for your trouble spots. Instead of covering the whole face, only dab small amounts of concealer wherever needed. Even out the skin tone by covering the brow bone, lids and eye corner with concealer. This will help provide a base for eye makeup enabling the eyeshades to adhere much longer.
Foundation: Once you have successfully blended your blemishes with your skin tone, applying foundation for a perfectly natural and flawless look is recommended. Buy a foundation that is closest to your skin tone instead of opting for whiter or pinkish shades. Lighter shade foundations that are actually unmated with your skin color will only end up giving you an artificial and pallid look.
Eye makeup: The realm of eye makeup knows no boundaries. You can opt for light eye-shadows and thin eyeliner to give yourself a refined and intellectually appealing look. Or you may choose darker hues to make your eyes seem more dramatic and striking. Whatever occasion you are dressing for a simple eye makeup tip is to choose pastel shades for softer looks and darker shades for an intensely spectacular effect.
Blush: If you plan to give yourself a more sophisticated look then applying a bright but sheer blush on the apples of the cheeks will definitely brighten your face without giving you the incongruous glittery look. Blushes in peach shades containing a slight shimmer are ideal to choose from and will prove to be harmonious with almost any skin tone giving your skin a youthful glow. A slight shimmer can transform dull skin and helps to reflect light away from fine lines.
Lip Gloss/ Lipstick: Choosing the right shade of lipstick to complete your look is extremely important. Light complexions may opt for pink shades whereas earthy tones work best for dark skin tones. A simple makeup tip is to apply small amount of concealer on the upper and lower lips so as to prevent the lipstick from smudging and spreading past your lip boundary.
With a little practice and intelligent use of these five essential makeup products is sure to help you improve your appearance and look.
