Your face is your most important feature.
It is the way we express our feelings, and what others look at the most. True, you can tell a lot about a person by looking into their face. But that doesn’t mean it can’t hold some secrets.
Face Makeup can add to your natural beauty if you know how to accent your good points and minimize the not so good.
The ways you can accent your face make up for the flaws you may wish to hide. For instance, if you have a tendency towards dark under eye circles, a concealer that is a shade or two lighter than your skin tone can appear to erase them and make you look bright eyed, refreshed and alert. Also draw attention to the upper lids and away for m the lower ones with eye shadow and liner and mascara. Do not use liner of mascara on the lower lids. Warmer tones of Face Makeup powder can give you a healthy glow.
If your skin is blotchy, instead of using heavy foundations, try a mineral face makeup powder.
Evenly pat it on your face with a large brush. It appears more sheer, yet still covers well throughout the day. In fact, unlike foundation that can accent wrinkles and creases, mineral powders can give you an airbrush makeup finish like you see in the magazines. Blotchiness is concealed, lines are filled in and smoothed over, and the midday sheen on your nose stays away.
If you do prefer foundation makeup, find one with UV ray protection and see if it comes in an aerosol. That way you can sprits it on a disposable sponge wedge and dab it on for a more natural yet covering look. It is far more sanitary and keeps bacteria out of the bottle. It also goes on more evenly. Never rub foundation on, especially around the eyes. The skin there is easily bruised and those laugh lines will pop through. Face Makeup should be applied in small dabs, then softly blended. Try to avoid putting it on thick, as that will just clog your pores and lead to breakouts.
For Asian faces, the main emphasis of your Face Makeup should be your unique and gorgeous eyes.
Applying foundation to the lids, then soft grays, plums or blues is better than blacks or brown that will just make your eyes appear smaller. Use a lighter shadow in the inner half of the lid and a slightly darker shade on the outer half. For blush, smile wide and apply it to the bony part (the apple) that pops out, then brush blend it back and up towards the temple.
The main thing for all women is to make sure their face is moisturized and protected from harmful UV rays that can damage skin cells and accelerate wrinkling. Know your skin type and find Face Makeup products specifically designed for it. Organic minerals and plant extracts are easier on your skin than petroleum based chemicals, especially if it is very sensitive. Oily skin should find products that allow the skin to breathe, because when the body senses dirt, it produces oils to flush it out. Dry skin sufferers need to purchase makeup that moisturizes and does not have harsh chemicals or alcohol in it. Read the labels very carefully. Alcohol is often used as a thinner.
Whatever Face Makeup you want to buy, always choose the right tone by rubbing it on the top of your wrist.
Test it in true light, not fluorescent that is often found in department stores. Most makeup counters have truer light sources. If the foundation is too light, it will accentuate the little flaws we all wish the world wouldn’t see as much.
