Basic tips for make-up

One of the most important things in the world when you want to have a perfect make-up is to prepare your skin. What does it mean? It’s simple!
Every day respect the three steps that are vital for your skin:
Remove your make-up(even is late in the night you must do it)
Tonify your skin
Hydrate your skin
After that it’s very important to find the right foundation. Most women have yellow-based skin. They include most Caucasians and all Asian, Latin and African women. To get that perfectly natural, flawless look they need to wear foundations with a yellow base.
Most foundations on the market however have pink or orange tones. Women wearing these foundations often end up looking artificial, ashy and two-toned, so take care !
Foundation should be applied with a clean make up sponge or a foundation brush. Once you have your foundation blended evenly then you can finish it off with a loose or pressed powder. Finally you can put on the make-up. Before the mascara is applied, put on your eyeliner. Using the eyeliner underneath can make eyes to look tired.When your eyeliner is done then you can apply eye shadow. Light colors for the base look best on most people. You can use a darker color in the outer corners to add depth and highlight your eyes. After the eye shadow application is complete, carefully brush away any excess make up that may have fallen under your eyes.Next add the blush. You don’t want to use too much just enough to put the color back in your cheeks.
Blush should be applied to the fullest part of your cheek..
A bronzer can be used in place of blush for more natural look.
Once your blush is in place, take a cotton ball and blend until you have just a hint of natural looking blush color.
The next application should be on your lips. You may want to use a lip base to ensure longer wear. Carefully line your lips along your natural lip line, and then fill them in with the desired color of lipstick. Make sure to use a gloss if your wanting a pouty look. If youa re over 40 we advise do not wear matte colours.
Try to put in evidence either your eyes or your lips, never both!
Good luck!
