Just Make Over For Beautiful Look

Cosmetics are substances used to enhance or protect the appearance or odor of the human body. Cosmetics include skin-care creams, lotions, powders, perfumes, lipsticks, fingernail polishes, eye and facial makeup, permanent waves, hair colors, deodorants, baby products, bath oils, bubble baths, and many other types of products. Their use is widespread, especially among women in Western countries. A subset of cosmetics is called “make-up”, which refers primarily to colored products intended to alter the user’s appearance.
YOUR EYES
1. For great looking eyes make sure to use powder shadows for a natural look and a eyeliner pencil for drama at night. Make sure the liner has a smudge tip at one end to get that smoky eye look. Only line the top of the eye is you’re looking tired. You don’t want to bring more attention to dark circles under the eyes. Neutral tones with a hint of color are flattering on everybody.

2. For sheen on the eyelids, dab a bit of Vaseline for a pretty reflective quality, as well as moisture.
3. Open up the eye with a gold/beige shimmer high lighter onto the brow bone.
YOUR LIPS
1. Use blush as a lipstick, then use clear gloss or lip balm over it. Longer staying power.

2. Natural ingredients have been used for centuries as makeup: apply beet juice to lips and cheeks as a stain, or mix it with melted bees wax to make your own lip balm! Cayenne pepper can plump the lips, but use with caution! and it really suits your personality!
3. Use eye makeup remover to treat super dry, chapped lips. It’s a great nighttime lip treatment!

1. For a longer lasting foundation try a product with silicone. The silicone creates a sweat-proof and smudge resistant second skin. For me, I find it helps with my rosaceous because the live yeast extract has healing powers.
2. A powder bronzer under blush can really even out skin tone. I dab my brush in the bronzer, then into the blush and lightly cover my whole face.
3. For a new bronzer, use a foundation that is two to three shades darker than your skin tone and apply where you would use your bronzer. In a pinch you could use a brown eye shadow.
4. Papaya mixed with plain yogurt into a paste makes a great exfoliating mask for all skin types!
5. Use an egg white mask for a quick fix for diminishing the appearance of pores. You should always concentrate on your face because its the main part of your body. The above details are helpful in your future experiences.

Simple Makeup Techniques

One of the most important makeup techniques is to consider your whole face when planning what colors you will use. Keep in mind that your features should be in harmony when you apply makeup.

While it’s okay to place the focus on one particular feature, such as the eyes, they should not overwhelm the face. Neither should you emphasize the features independently of each other. This can look cartoonish, or like there is a lack of focus.

The best blush make up technique you can use is to go lightly. Many people over apply their blush. You want the color on your cheeks to look soft, and natural. It should appear to come from beneath the skin, rather than having been applied on top. To do this, tap excess blush off of your brush before applying it.
Simple Makeup 1


Be sure to put blush on the apple of the cheek and blend towards the hairline to prevent a clownish look. Use lighter shades of blush to highlight, if you have chosen a darker color. Cheek color should enhance your complexion, rather than changing your skin tone. Lighter colors are more appropriate during the day, darker at night.

How to do Makeup on Eyes

Apply a concealer under your eyes to cover any dark circles. Sakib suggests that you use a darker shade than the typical ivory tones, for a more natural look.


Apply liquid base to the lids – this helps keep the color on your lids longer and also adds a glow.


(This is when you would also apply base to the rest of your face and neck, preferably using a sponge applicator for an even finish)

Apply a liquid eyeliner, a thin line is sufficient. Just go with the natural shape of your eye.
Wet a sponge shadow applicator and cover the entire lid with it. This technique makes it easier for the powder eye shadow to stick to your eye.
Now apply the powder eye shadow to to the entire lid

Use a darker shade of the same color shadow on the corners of the eyes. This makes the eyes look bigger.
Now reapply the eyeliner and smudge the ends for a smoky look
Take a blending brush and blend the colors for a softer look
You can apply a darker shade on the crease of the eye to add more drama and color to your eyes.


Finally, don’t forget to finish up with an even coat of mascara on both upper and lower lids.

Dramatic Eye Makeup

Another of the eye makeup ideas to consider is dramatic eye makeup. This is a lot of fun to do. Remember you can experiment as much as you like with dramatic eye make up and remove your efforts easily if it goes wrong.


It is possible nowadays to get eye make up in pretty much any color and you can also use false eye lashes or glitter to further enhance your eyes.
Dramatic Eye Makeup 2


One dramatic eye make up style is to first apply black kohl to the upper and lower rims of the eyes. Then prime the eyelids by dusting them with some loose powder. Next, choose shades of the same color, which are going to be blended. You might choose three shades of purple, or bright orange, peach and yellow. With dramatic eye make up, anything goes!


Apply the lighter shade all over the eye area, from the brow to the eyes. Apply the medium toned shade to the eyelids. Using an eye shadow brush, apply the darkest shade along the crease of your eyelid. Blend the shadow using the brush. You can use pressed powder to tone down the effect if it is too much. Finish with a couple of coats of dark mascara or false eyelashes and you’re ready to hit the town!

Matte lipsticks

Lipstick is, arguably, the most essential part of a woman Make up kit. Most women won’t leave the house without first applying lipstick, and for some, it is the only makeup they wear.
Lip color may be bright and bold, or soft and subtle.Associated with sexiness and desirability, it comes in shades ranging from bright red to subtle pink, with everything in between.
Most women, from age 16 to 90, will agree that lipstick is just plain indispensable.
Matte Lipsticks’ unique long-lasting, moisturizing formula gives you a matte finish without drying out your lips.

Basic Eye Makeup Kits

Most eye makeup assortments offer three basic shades or colors.
* Highlighter – the lightest shade, designed to bring out the areas it is applied to.

3. Use an eye shadow kit with a high lighter. Apply some high lighter on the space beneath the brows. Apply the medium color on upper eye lid only. Swap the darkest shade on the crease, between the two shades and blend well.


4. Put a little dark eye shadow also beneath the eyes, touching the lower lash line, with a thin brush. Start from the outer corner and extend it just a little, may be till the middle. See what suits you. This adds more color to your eyes.
