Makeup Tricks Every Lady Should Know
Sometimes, little tips and tricks go a long way in achieving that perfect look you crave for. Thanks to these handy tips, you’ll never have to feel frustrated in front of the mirror again.
1. APPLY FOUNDATION USING THE RIGHT TOOL
There are different types of makeup brushes with well-defined functions. Just as the saying goes “You can’t build a great building on a weak foundation”. This also applies to makeup, for one to achieve that great flawless look the foundation must be perfect.
I understand that in most cases makeup is done in a rush as there are a lot of things to meet up with, getting ready in the mornings when you’re in a rush means putting your foundation on with your hands.
Applying it with a brush takes time and precision, while it’s okay to do that, I would recommend using a foundation brush (for a powder foundation) or a beauty blender (for liquid foundation) for best results.
2. USE WHITE EYELINER TO MAKE YOUR EYE-SHADOW POP
Staying beautiful comes with quite some tricks. To make your eyelid appear more vibrant, blend a white eyeliner pencil over your entire eyelid first. Then, proceed with applying your eye-shadow right on top. The opaque coverage of the white eyeliner will intensify the eye-shadow shade and make it pop, thereby giving you that vibrant look you desire. For ladies with small eyes, this will instantly make your eyes look bigger and brighter.
3. PERFECT EYEBROWS
Perfect makeup begins with a properly shaped brow. Shaping your brows needn’t be difficult, just follow these steps. Start by brushing your eyebrows with a spoolie, so the hairs sit naturally. Follow this up by using an eye pencil to carefully trace your brow from the outside.
Filling in the gaps is a necessity for creating the perfect brows. Don’t create an arch where there isn’t one, or try to lengthen your brows with a pencil. It will be too obvious that you drew extra parts. For the most natural look, select an eyebrow pencil 1 or 2 shades lighter than the natural color of your brows.
For a heavier look, choose an eyebrow pencil that’s a shade or 2 darker than your natural brow shade. Finally, blend in some concealer (One that matches your skin) for a perfect finish.
4. APPLY LIP BALM BEFORE APPLYING YOUR FAVORITE MATTE LIPSTICK
It is important to apply lip balm and leave it for some minutes before applying lipstick. This will not only help soften your lips and make them smooth, but it will also help the lip liner and lipstick go on more evenly.
5. MAKE YOU’RE LIPSTICK LAST LONGER
It is shameful to wear beautiful lipstick and hours later it’s nowhere to be found. For lip color that lasts hours, just swipe on your shade, lay a tissue over your mouth, and then dust translucent powder over the top to set the color from budging. The payoff of this process is a sure one. Give it a try today.
6. DO THE EYE MAKE UP BEFORE APPLYING CONCEALER
Most of the time, some particles of eye shadow tend to fall out. I would recommend applying the concealer after having done your eye make-up. This makeup technique will give you a cleaner look and accentuate your entire make-up.
7. DON’T USE YOUR CONCEALER AS A BASE
Do you get the desired outcome from using a concealer? If not it could be how you apply it. Creases are created every time. Applying certain concealers to under your eyes and on your eyelids as a base will cause your skin to crease. Note this and start doing it right today for a perfect look.
