Everyone has time to make their faces more attractive now a days.
Making time is the key to applying any cosmetic.The purpose of a beauty product should be
to make the face look more lively, interesting,younger, prettier or more polished.Making up
your face means looking like you, but even better!This chapter is all you need to know to maximize your best assets while minimizing any defects. I’ll show you how to do it whether you have 20 minutes or 20seconds. You do have time to show your best face to the world.
No matter where you’re going, your usual routine should be no more than 15 minutes. The trick is to change your routine. There is no way that you can apply 15 minutes of cosmetics into a quick 5 minute regimen. You can still look pretty great in just a couple of minutes with my streamlined techniques.There’s just no excuse for looking naked, tired or“war-painted”anymore.
For the best results always start with the fresh face Think of your face as a blank canvas. You are the artist, and you must start with a clean slate. Your makeup will go on more smoothly, more evenly,and last much longer.
What Are The Basic s Of MakeUp:
Foundation
A good foundation is the hardest-working cosmetic you will ever purchase. Choose one that is right for your skin type. An all-in-one foundation that gives adequate coverage is the combination liquid/powder duo found at every price level. I especiallylike the lower-cost lines found in Cover Girl,Revlon, and L’Oreal.They’re less drying than the more expensive brands, and you don’t have to wet them to get a flawless finish.Do you look good in pure white? Look for “cool”shades.
Do you look better in cream or off-white? Choose“warm” tones.Take a coral lipstick and a pink lipstick. If your skin more closely resembles the pink, you have pink undertones. The closer match to the coral means that you have a “yellow” undertone.Now you can take this knowledge and confidently choose your own color at drugstores and mass merchandise stores.
I can’t begin to tell you how many complaints I have heard from women who have been given the wrong color by those so-called “experts” behind the cosmetic counters. It’s time for you to become your own expert. After all, who’s been looking at that skin in every kind of light imaginable for all these years?Furthermore, if you make a mistake at the drugstore,it’s easy to go back and get the next shade (lighter/darker) or even to blend the two at a far less exorbitant price.
Eyebrows
The eyebrow is the frame of the face. It is easy to “lift” the eye with a couple of quick strokes. Many great beauties are known for their distinctive eyebrows (think Brooke Shields,Cindy Crawford and Joan Crawford).Control your eyebrows with an old toothbrush or an old washed mascara wand.never pluck above your brow Whoever thought of that one? You pluck where you
need to pluck!I once did a makeover on a woman who had these ugly hairs sticking up on her forehead. When I asked her why she didn’t pluck them out,she recited to me this silly old outdated “don’t touch those hairs above the eyebrow” rules.
Some technique
Brush the brow upward and outward to define the natural line. Tweeze under the brow to form an arch.Soften the sting by rubbing the area with an ice cube.If you’re completely clueless on what shape to make your eyebrow, cut out an eyebrow from a magazine and stencil it on top of your own. Tweeze to trace the prototype.
A Few Secrets Of eyebrows
Eyebrows look best when filled in with a soft pencil or powder. The modern brow is neither too thick nor too thin. Undecided? Go to a professional for your first plucking. It’s most effective to work in bright natural light when tweezing. Soften the look of the brow by patting lightly with translucent powder. You can also substitute pale eye shadow to lighten a brow.
Eyes
applications :Wide-set eyes , To make your eyes look closer together, apply deep-toned shadow to the inner halves of the lids. Light-toned shadow goes on the outer halves.Closed-set eyes Open up eyes by brushing deeptoned shadow on the outer half of the lids.Blend from the center of the eyes out and up to just above the crease. Use a light shadow on the inner halves of the lids and just under the brow bone.
How to look your eyes more brighter :
To make the whites of your eyes look brighter,use alight blue pencil under the eyes. Blue eye shadow lightly applied under the eyes works just as well.Separate clumpy eye lashes with a lash comb available at beauty supply stores.To get the best curl out of eyelashes, use a blow dryer
to heat an eyelash curler for about five seconds before using.If you need to go from day to evening without starting from scratch,apply an eye foundation before shadowing.Use waterproof formulations whenever possible.
Always wipe wands off before using to avoid clumping.When applying mascara to bottom lashes, hold a tissue under the lash so that mascara doesn’t end up on the skin.Are you an absolute klutz when it comes to lining your eyes? Use a shadow as liner, or steady your hand by leaning your elbow on a table when applying.
False Eyelashes
False eyelashes should be applied after foundation and eyebrows.
1. Powder eyelids.
2. Curl eyelashes to blend in with false ones.
3. Apply glue to lashes, being sure not to touch the lashes themselves.
4. Use a small stick (a toothpick works well) to be more precise.
5. Make sure that the lashes match by starting at the outer corner.
6. To blend false and natural lashes, apply a deep liquid liner over both.
Some Secrets tips :
Make your eyeliner last each time you sharpen it by putting it in the freezer for at least 15 minutes prior to sharpening. This will ensure a perfect point with no crumbling.Bend the tip of your mascara wand until it’s angled to resemble a dentist’s mirror. The wand will be easier
to control, and the brush will give better coverage.Pull your eyelid taut when applying eyeliner.
It actually helps to keep your mouth open when applying eye makeup. It keeps you from blinking.Always apply liner in short, feathery brushes.Neutral shadows are the most flattering to the eye.Create a V-shape with a soft powder at the outer corner of the eyes to lift.
Lips
Lipsticks have three basic components:
1. Pigment: Determines the color.
2. Emollients: Carry the pigment to the lips.
3. Waxes: Give the lipstick its shape. Choose the best formula!
Some Safty Tips
Keep container lids and caps tightly closed.Keep all applicators clean.Store eye makeup at room temperature.Don’t let cosmetics sit on top of the radiator.Use disposable products whenever possible.Replace products often.If a product produces an odor, toss it immediately.Never rest an applicator on a public sink or vanity.Never share your makeup.
Lipsticks also have three finishes:
1. Matte: The most lasting formulation. Not shiny. Flat coverage. (Caution: Pick one that’s not too drying.)
2. Creamy: Looks best when first applied. Gives the most even coverage. Available in the widest array of colors.
3. Stain: Usually contains moisturizing ingredients.Gives only a hint of color.Wears off most naturally and discreetly. Most likely to have added sunscreen.
Some secrets
For a softer lip color, blend moisturizer into the lipstick.To change the color of any lipstick, lightly apply yellow eye shadow on the lips as a primer. This will warm up any color.
Blend lip liner and lipstick together on the back of the hand for a longer-lasting look.If your lipstick tends to “bleed,” apply lipstick first,then line over it to set.Create your own lip colors by mixing different colors and textures of lipstick.Right from the Experts! To achieve a pouty,sexy mouth, emphasize your top lip by dabbing just a touch of gloss in the center.
To keep lipstick on while dining, keep lips off utensils.Use your lower teeth and tongue to do the
work.If you feel that your lips are unbalanced, use a lighter colored lipstick on the smaller lip.
A little bit of red or orange in the center of the lips makes them look fuller.
Bronzing Powder
Ask any beauty what product she would most like to have on a deserted island, and the answer would most likely be her bronzing powder. This is the most versatile cosmetic you will ever own. Bronzing is the way to finish your face. Forget blush! I have never seen more beauty blunders than I have with the misuse of blush. I can’t begin to tell you how many stripes and circles I have had to wipe off. Use blush improperly and you end up looking like a circus clown or a road marker. This is why I suggest (no,implore) you use bronzing powder to add color to your face. It’s the perfect tool for nonprofessionals to use to contour their faces. Use it on the cheeks,down the sides of the nose (to slim),under the jawline (to take away a double chin or drooping jowls), and to add color to the face. You’ll find bronzing powder readily available at drugstores,cosmetic counters—wherever your budget takes you. But please get some and use it! Why take risks with the sun when you can get a better sun-kissed look with this wonderful product? Can you tell it’s my favorite all-time cosmetic?
