How to Apply Makeup

For all of you who want to learn how to apply makeup like a pro, here are a few must-read tips:

One must have the proper brushes and a clean face for accurate makeup application. It is important to put a skin smoother, or primer of some sort over the face, and also over the eyelids, where oils tend to build up. This will keep the makeup looking fresh all day. There are many goals in applying makeup. The most common goal is going to be a sleek natural beauty look, which is easy to acquire. When going for the natural look, use a large fluffy brush to apply a foundation or base color. The easiest kind to use is a powder or mineral based, because it goes on very evenly with the brush. You can use a liquid one as well, but use a foam pad or your fingers for application. For accentuating features, one basic makeup tip is that you should pick either their lips or their eyes, but never both. For lips, choose a color that goes with the season. Bright and cheery for summer, or daytime, and darker and more mysterious for winter months, or evening wear. The eye makeup application is very important. Start with one lighter color over the entire lid, and put it up past the crease. Use a soft wide shadow brush or your finger for the best application. Then choose a darker color, and put that color on the outside of your eye and at the crease. Finish up with a dark thin liner right over the upper lashes, and mascara.
