Beauty Secrets Series - Make up - Part 9

Make up 

The purpose of a cosmetic should be to make the face look more energetic, appealing, fresher, lovelier, or more graceful.

Make-up should help you to look like YOU, but even better!

I am running short of time!!!

No!!! No one ever runs shorts of time to make their faces more attractive. Sparing enough time is the key to applying any beauty product.

If you are in a hurry and don't have enough time, then the best thing you can do is change your make-up routine to fit your available time. If your normal makeup takes 30 minutes and today you have only 5 minutes, you can't follow the same routine and say it doesn't look good.

The best trick is to 'adjust' and keep a 'quick' make-up trick handy.

Always start to apply make-up in a fresh clean face.

When your face is fresh and clean, make up will go on more easily, consistently and lasts much longer!

To get the most out of your facial beauty products, rub a small amount between your hands before applying. This action produces heat, making any cosmetic more spreadable.

Foundation:

Selecting the correct foundation for your skin tone and type is very important for your make-up.

Always choose the one that is right for you. Trust your instincts. Never opt for lighter or dark shade!

There are more than forty shades between the lightest and deepest of dark skin, so finding the right foundation for you can be a real challenge.

The best solution is to give it a go before buying it! Most of the shops now have trial or test option available. Make use of it as much as possible.

Always test foundation on your cheek or jawline. The skin around the outside of the face is often darker than the skin in the center.

Very dark skin has a lot of yellow pigment, so look for foundations with yellow undertones. Choose oil-free formulations, as darker skin reflects more light and is often slightly oily. You can finish off in style with a powder that’s either transparent or slightly lighter than your skin.

Never ever try to show your skin lighter using makeup! Every skin tone is unique and has its own beauty. A cosmetic is only an extra ingredient to make you look more prettier!

Bronzing Powder:

Bronzing powder is the most versatile beauty product you will ever see!

It is absolutely elegant for creating a monochromatic look. You can use it to shadow eyes, as a finishing powder for lips, to soften your eyebrows, and as a finishing powder to set makeup.

Don’t go too dark. A shade or two darker than your regular color is best.

Lipstick:

It's good to know about lipsticks before we buy one!

There are three different finishes:

1. Matte:

  • The most lasting formulation.
  • Not shiny.
  • Flat coverage.

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.

There three basic components in a Lipstick:

1. Pigment:

  • Determines the color.

2. Emollients:

  • Carries the pigment to the lips.

3. Waxes:

  • Give the lipstick its shape. Choose the best formula!

To keep lipstick on while dining, keep lips off utensils. Use your lower teeth and tongue to do the work.

 

In the next episode we will continue to talk about lipstick and more make-up stuff. Stay Tuned!!!
