Beauty Makeup Styles And Tips

We all want to enhance our best features when we go out. We all want to look and feel our best. There is a certain level of confidence that exudes out of a woman who knows she put herself together and taken the time to present herself to the world with her best foot forward. This doesnt only happen with our mood or personality, but also with the way we look. Think about a time when you went out and you knew you had on your favourite dress and that little pair of heels you had stuffed in the back of your closet for months and months; you have done your hair, put on a spritz of perfume (natural or store bought) and you took the time to prepare your skin prior to going out. Did you feel more or less confident than you did on a day you went out with unbrushed hair and your old sweats that you usually wear around the house?

How we present ourselves to the world, whether we like to admit it or not, plays a role in how we are perceived by the people around us.

So how should we do our makeup? What looks can we achieve without going overboard and risking looking like a clown?

CONCEILER

must match skin

eye brightener: brighten widen eyes

foundation: perfect finish

Primer: smooth appearance.

TECHIQUES:

• Round eyes: extend the shadow past the outer corners of the eyes to lengthen them and make them look more oblong. This technique will also make the eyes look bigger. Eyeliner can also be used to obtain the same effect. You will apply the eyeliner along the top eyelash from the middle of the eye to the outer corner. Pass the line of the eye slightly. Now apply the liner to the lower lash line from the middle to the outer edge to meet the other line. Now fill in that triangle shape in between the lines. It will create a longer eye and, in essence, make it look bigger.
• Close-set eyes: by applying lighter colored eye shadow on the lids of the eyes near the nose, and darker colored eye shadow near the edges of the lids, it will make the eyes look further apart.
• Deep-set eyes: light and reflective colors can be applied into the creases, and darker colors should only be used sparingly.
• Prominent eyes: make it harder to notice the eyes by blending a medium shadow over the prominent part of the eyelid and then blending it up towards the eyebrow.
• Round and Square faces: use a darker foundation along the outer edges of the temples and blend it. Then blend the same foundation along the jawline and cheekbones. A lighter foundation should then be used in the centre from the chin to the forehead.
• Narrow face: a light foundation used along the outer edges of the cheekbones can be used.
• Wide jaw: use a darker colored foundation under the cheekbones and on the jawline.
• Receding chin: highlight the chin with a lighter colored foundation.
• Double chin: Apply a darker foundation to the double chin under the jawline.
