How to Apply Makeup

Makeup can greatly enhance a woman’s physical features. Unfortunately, not everybody can do it the proper way. There are many different methods of applying makeup, and more often, they depend on one’s skin color, shape of the eyes and shape of the lips, among others.

Apply MakeupUsually, the makeup process begins with having the right tools. As a makeup artist or simply a makeup user, you must invest in makeup tools, such as sponge, concealer brush, powder brush, blusher brush, eyebrow brush, several eyeshadow brushes, lip brush, eyelash curler, and good quality mirror.

Wash your face clean, then apply concealer on dark spots on your face, including the dark circles under your eyes. Blend it well using a concealer brush. Next, dot a small amount of foundation on your face, blending it well with concealer. Do your eyes next. Choose at least three shades of colors. Brush the lightest shade over the area from the eyelid to below the brow line. This should serve as your base. Use the medium shade for the crease, and the darkest shade to line the lash line above the upper eyelid. Use eyeliner to define your eyes further. Smudge it a bit to soften the effect. For more dramatic eyes, apply a coat or two of mascara

Next, work on your cheeks. Smile broadly to locate your cheekbones. This is where you will apply your blush. Dip your full rounded blush brush into your powder blush and blend the color into your cheeks. If the color comes on too strong, tone it down with some loose powder.

Complete your look with lipstick. Line your lips with a lip lining pencil and cover the inside portion with lip color of the same shade as your lip pencil. Use a lip brush to do this so the whole outlined area will be covered. Top this with a lip gloss and you are ready to party, girl!
