Basic MakeUp

Whether you're just starting to wear makeup or you already do, there are few basics that will get you a flawless "natural" Look. That'll be achieved by
 the application of following properly

  • Foundation
  • Concealer
  • Eyeliner
  • Blush
Things to do Before Applying Foundation:
-Wash your face to make sure it's clean of oils and any makeup from the previous night

- Use Moisturizer! I can't stress this enough especially if you have a dry skin like me. Using a moisturizer can make a difference in the final outcome of the foundation texture on your face. Wait for your moisturizer to "dry".



Foundation application
In case it's a liquid foundation, pump some onto top of your hand and with use the tips of your finger to apply some foundation onto you Forehead, Cheeks, tip of your Nose and Chin. Using your brush, blend in the dots in a circular motion. Pay special attention to your hairline and jawline, many women put foundation onto your face but they forget to put blend onto their neck as well as you can see a visible difference between the color of their neck and their face.


If it's a liquid foundation then use the liquid foundation brush! It looks something like the picture to the right.











However if you're using powder based Foundation then you want to use Powder Brush.









Concealer
 application
 Apply concealer to camouflage imperfections. Apply them to your blemishes if you have any. Apply it under your eyes to conceal dark circles dark circles. General rule is, apply concealer to the corners of your nose since that area is generally "darker" and onto your nose and forehead in shape of T. It'll give you a slight Glow. Look at the Face chart i created below. It should be helpful.



I'll write about mascara, blush and Eyeliner in the next post.
