Perfect Steps For Beautiful Make-Up - Part I

By Super Admin

On the present day all of us are very concerned about our appearance. We often feel that the lack of perfect make-up fails our natural beauty to get noticed at many instances. In that case it is time for you to master the perfect art of beautiful make-up.

Getting Started
Beauty experts call face as the mirror of one's personality. To get started for a good make-up, one must have a clean face. As a first step wash your face and hands. Analyze whether your skin is oily, combination, dry or normal etc. Get a self facial for a fresh start. You can clean your face with a good deep cleansing milk also. Do use an antibacterial soap if you have acne. Be careful not to exfoliate if you have oily or sensitive skin.

Now, dry your face with a clean towel. Apply toner all over your face with a cotton pad dampened in warm water to restore the ph level of your skin. Dot on some moisturizer and gently massage it over the face avoiding the eyes. This will make your oily skin dry and the dry skin smooth. Wait 10 minutes for the moisturizer to get absorbed into your skin.

Applying Foundation
The perfect application of foundation is a crucial step for good make-up. The primary step in applying foundation is to find the tone that blends with your complexion. Start to apply the foundation and blend from your hairline with a perfect make-up sponge. Apply the foundation all the way down to your throat area by constant blending.

You have to be extremely careful while applying foundation on your eye area. Do very light strokes towards the inner corner of your eyes. You have to apply the foundation with blend on the upper eyelid also. Finally blend the foundation into your hairline.

Applying Concealer
Concealer is the most valuable cosmetic to disguise the minor flaws such as dark circles, pimples and blemishes on your face. Opt for a stick concealer as it saves you from the risk of gliding off. You can work the concealer stick up and down on the back of your hand to make the application pliable and easier to use.

You have to apply the concealer on top of the foundation and before you add powder. To hide the dark circles under your eyes, gently pat the concealer under your eyes with the index finger. You have to apply the concealer on the shadow below the eyes to conceal the eye bags. You can paint the concealer with good make-up brush to cover the uneven skin tone and scar marks. You have to just touch up the blemishes and acne with the concealer.

Applying Blush
A perfect application of blush gives a warm and soft glow to your face. You can select the blush colour in accordance with your lip colour. Otherwise just pinch your cheeks and wait for moment to see the colour that appears. You can apply the blush with a brush, on the cheek, in the shape of a triangle. It should taper towards the temples. Blend it outwards and upwards to clear the demarcation.

The best way to apply blush is to know the shape of your face. On a narrow and longer face, apply the blush on the lower cheekbone. You can keep the angle horizontal to create the width of the face. The blush should be applied in the middle of the face bout not near to the nose for a round or square face.

The base to present your best appearance is now ready. You can learn the new realms of perfect make-up in the forthcoming article.
