Makeup Tips

Sometimes ladies you wish you had that personal professional make-up artist that would pop out of the closet to do your make-up on the spot. I know I sure do! Here are a few handy make-up tips from some professional artist that we have found to make your “Beautifying Experience” a little more easier.

1. Use two shades of blush.
Here is the perfect advice for creating a youthful glow with blush. to make your blush look absolutely natural, use two shades instead of just one. One shade to the apples of your cheeks and another shade should be applied to the cheekbones.

2. How to use concealer under the eyes?
To conceal dark circles under the eyes, don’t put the concealer over the dark circles; apply the concealer further down, in a triangular shape, on the top of your cheeks. That way, the light reflects upwards and softens the appearance of dark circles.

3. How to lift your lashes.
This tip will make applying mascara a little bit easier. Use the handle of a mascara brush to lift up eyelashes from the base and roll them back. That makes it easier to use the wand to pull through the lashes, from the base to the tips, to remove any clumps.

4. How to apply eyeliner.
Color is not the only thing to consider when applying eyeliner; eyeliner can also be used to define the shape of your eyes too. To do this, you will need eyeliner that will allow you to control precisely how thin or thick you draw your lines. If you have eyes that are closer set, then drawing a thicker line at the outer corner will make them look as though they are further apart. On the other hand, if you have eyes that are more set apart, try drawing a thicker line at the inner corner, which will make your eyes look like they are closer together.

5. How to extend the life of your mascara.
Just adding a few drops of saline solution to mascara that is coming to an end will put the moisture back in and make it last for a bit longer.

6. How to make red lips last.
When you want your bold red lips to last longer, you should apply any red lip pencil all over your lips before you apply any red lipstick. Then, once you have finished applying the lipstick, apply another coat of the red lip pencil over the top and your red lipstick will stay looking perfect for hours.

7. How to take the puffiness out of tired eyes.
If you dab a little bit of eye drop liquid on the area of puffy skin, it will tighten up the skin in just a few seconds.

8. Always prep your skin!!!
Great makeup begins with preparation. Always start by massaging in a light moisturizer and then give it some time to settle into the skin. Then you can apply foundation, and use as little powder as you can. That will give you a healthy, natural looking glow.

9. Use a beauty blender to apply foundation.
To get flawless makeup that doesn’t look too heavy, use a beauty blender to apply foundation. These great little tools, which are supposed to be used slightly damp, will allow you to easily get to every contour and apply foundation evenly all over your face.
