Believe
it or not women all around the world LOVE makeup ok maybe not all of them but
yes most of them! A good make over definitely helps to look confident and most
importantly beautiful. But the important thing is that make up should be
according to the occasion/event. Here are few tips I find the best and they
work well for me J
Foundation/Base:
Always,
ALWAYS make sure your base is just one tone fairer than your natural skin tone.
If you opt for whiter bases it will just give you a plastic look. You can
actually look really bad.
If
you have oily skin so always go for matte bases, for me Maybelline Dream Matte
Mousse works the best, it blends well with the skin. Else stick foundation does
the job well.
Before
applying the foundation make sure you wash your face properly and moisturize it
with oil free moisturizer.
Eyes
and Lips:
The
synchronization of eyes and lips go hand in hand. You enhance both but focus on
one of them. You wouldn’t really enjoy a heavy smoky look on the eyes with
bright orange lips.

Eyes
Don’t
you just simply love dramatic eyes? Eyes should be an important focus of your
make up. Smokey eyes add the most drama to eyes but you just can’t go all smoky
everywhere.
Simply
wearing heavy mascara looks really nice, it makes your eyes look wider and more
attractive. You MUST have volumizer
mascaras in order to attain such look. Also you can put on some white/
silver-ish eye pencils on your inner eye lids to make your eyes appear
relatively brighter and wider.
A
very important thing that must be kept on mind, your eye cut and what style of
eye liner suits you well. Try different techniques of eye liners beforehand so
you get to know which one suits you the best. I always go for thin eye liner
and soft winged look, it works well with my droopy eyes. If you have naturally
wide eyes, even thick and elongated winged liner serves very well.

Lips
Your
lip color speaks about your personality. Make sure you choose the most
appropriate lip color.
With
simple heavy mascara eyes you can go for different shades of red or oranges
even hot pink.
With
heavy eye makeup make sure you choose natural lip colors. But don’t ever leave
the lips on lip glosses or lip balms. Your entire look can look incomplete
except for the fact if you have really healthy pink lips.
Blush
and Contouring:
Rule
1 should be rule, you contour before putting on the blush on. Use shades of
brown to contour your cheeks and nose. Don’t ever use the blush brush for this,
if you are doing this, then you are just fooling yourself. If you don’t own
proper contouring bushes use your fingers, blend well and viola! You still can
get a perfect contoured look.
For
blush use shades of pinks and peaches, these colors give a refreshing look but
don’t use excess of it.
When putting on the blush smile so you can apply on the
proper areas that need the highlight.
Don’t
forget to swipe bit of the blush-on on your nose and hair line, cheek bones and
neck to balance the entire look. Try using light shades of brown to blush these
areas as it adds shape to your face.
In
the end don’t forget to apply compact powder by a thick brush so it blends the
entire look and make it look complete.
Enjoy!
