Make-up

Have you ever seen someone who you thought could benefit from some make up? Perhaps you have seen someone who you think could benefit from applying less make up too! There are many different types of make up to choose from and just as many different ways to apply it. This can make it quite confusing to know what to use or how to use it. Here are some make up tips to make the process a little easier and to help you maximize the benefits.

The most important area to pay close attention to when applying make up is the eyes. The different make up you use can give them different looks. This mean you can easily change your look for working during the day and going out at night just by applying your eye make up differently.

You should always add a thin layer of a foundation that matches your skin tone well before you apply any make up to your eyes. You can choose to use a crème or powder to apply once the foundation has had a moment to dry. Many people make the mistake of basing their eye make up colors on their clothing or eye color. For the best results you need to pick colors based on your hair color.

This means if you frequently change your hair color you should also be changing the colors of your eye make up. This will help you achieve a more dramatic color change. If you have blonde hair use creamy colors and taupe. Brunettes look great with light brown colors and mochas. Red hair matches with copper, peach, and brownish red colors. If you decide to leave your hair alone as it turns gray use light purples and light blues for your eyes.

Taking good care of your make up is important too. This will help it to be easier to apply. If your make up brushes or applicators start to fray replace them. Otherwise make up can clump on them. You should through away make up after one year as it will start to lose the luster and shine. Also if you get any type of eye infection such as a sty or pink eye you need to throw away all of your makeup used during that time period or you run the risk of getting the infection again.
