Here are quick and easy make-up
tips. Anybody can use these as they are not targeting anyone
with special features.
- If you do not have time for
a full make-up, but want to look great. Paint on a bright red
lipstick. At least its happy and glamorous color will immediately
brightens your face.
- Sweep a little loose powder
under your eyes when applying dark shades of eye shadow to catch
any falling specks and prevent them from staining your skin.
- Make your lips look larger
by wearing a bright, light lipstick. Or make them appear small
by wearing dark and more muted colors.
- If you do not have a specialized
contouring product for cheeks, simply use an ordinary face powder
a couple of shades darker than your usual one to slim down the
cheeks.
- Add a drop of witch hazel available
in all good drug stores to turn ordinary foundation into a medicated
one, it will work wonders on oily skin, which is prone to acne
and pimples.
- Mascara your lashes before
applying false ones to help them stick properly. |

- If you look tired then blend
a little concealer just away from the outer corner of your eye
it will make you look as though you had a good night's sleep.
- Never apply makeup before blow-drying
your hair - the heat from the dryer can make you perspire and
cause your makeup to smudge.
- The color of powder eye shadow
can be made to look more intense by dipping your eye shadow brush
in water first.
- Keep eye lashes smooth and
supple by brushing them with petroleum jelly before going to
bed at night.
- Apply cream blusher in light
downward movements to prevent it from creasing in specks of color
from catching in the fine hairs on your face.
- If mascara tends to clog on
your lower lashes then try using a small thin brush to paint
color on to individual lashes.
- Make sure you give moisturizer
time to sink in before you start applying your makeup as it will
help your makeup go on more easily.
- If your eyeliner is too hard
and drags your skin, hold it next to a lighter bulb for a few
seconds before applying.
- Lip gloss can look sophisticated
if you just apply a dot in the center of your lower lip.
- If you are unsure where to
apply blusher, gently pinch your cheeks. If you like the effect,
apply blusher in the same area.
- To prevent lipstick from getting
on your teeth, try this tip. After putting it on, put your finger
in the mouth, purse your lips and pull it out.
- Women who wear glasses need
to take special advice on makeup. If you are near-sighted, your
glasses will make your eyes look smaller. So, go for brighter
eye shadows and lots of mascara to ensure they do not disappear.
- A little foundation lightly
rubbed through your eyebrows and brushed through with an old
toothbrush will instantly lighten them.
- For long lasting blush on sunny
days or hot nights, apply both cream and powder blusher. Apply
the cream formulation first, set with translucent powder then
dust with a little powder blush.
