Tips And Tricks For Applying Make Up

Saturday, August 21st, 2010 | Women's Interest

Most women have been putting on make up since their teenage years, but are unaware of the ways to put it on like the professionals do. If you are one of these women, and are wondering how you can get professional results, then hopefully this article will get you going in the right direction…

In order to achieve a smooth application of your make up, you have to put on a primer every time. You must also ensure that the primer you use matches your skin type. This is because you want it to reduce the appearance of oil if your skin is oily. A primer is going to provide a layer that will allow your make up to adhere to. In addition, it will even out your skin prior to putting on the foundation.

The biggest mistake you can make is using the wrong foundation. Using a powdered mineral formula will ensure that you never get that oily, cakey look that can often happen with liquid make up. Powdered mineral foundation gives beautiful, even coverage and glides onto the skin flawlessly. It is healthy for your skin and you can brush on multiple layers for the desired look. It is also easier to color match your skin tone.

You should always add to your look with lip stick and lip gloss. For those of you who might be concerned that your lip stick will wear off throughout the day, you might want to apply a lip stick that will add a touch of color to your lips and cover it with a bit of lip gloss on your lower lip. This is going to make your lip stick stay on longer and it will allow the light to be reflected off the glossy lower lip. This makes your lips appear to be fuller. This is an excellent suggestion.

Wearing too much eye make up is a mistake that many women make when putting on make up. Make up artists suggest using three colors of eye shadow that coordinate with each other and applying them in a specific way. A medium shade should be brushed over the eyelid, with the darkest color in the crease. Then blend the colors together. Use a light color, or highlight, sweeping up and into the brow bone. This gives a beautiful and polished look that works for everyone.

The last professional make up artist tip is to invest in some good, professional quality brushes. Cheap brushes or cotton swabs just cannot achieve the smooth blending and even look that you can get with the right tools. It is definitely worth it.
