Makeup tips
- A broad nose can be made to look thinner, if a dark shade foundation is applied on each side of the nose.
- Do not use foundation profusely. Wash off your make-up before retiring to bed. The particles clog the skin-pores, and prevent the skin from inhaling fresh air.
- For oily skin, a cake foundation is good. Avoid use of foundation with lanolin base. However, you can use a vanishing cream as foundation.
- If you have a double-chin, apply dark shade foundation underneath, it will appear balanced. You can make your chin prominent by using light shade foundation.
- Take into account the color of the hair when applying lipstick. Orange shade lipstick will match black hair. For grey hair use pink color lipstick and for golden brown hair use scarlet shade.
MAKEUP TRICKS
Make-up is divided into two categories - for yourself or for others.
Your own face is the one you wear make-up for yourself. To put it
plainly, it is the real you. The second category of make-up is for
others, as when you are going for a catwalk or before a camera or the
audience. Though the basic principle of make-up technique remains the
same, but a sense of what the occasion demands is important when you are
applying make-up. Remember, in day light, a heavy make-up looks
un-natural.
It is best to keep your make-up to the minimum to give a natural look.
Whatever the type of make-up, the following basic rules should be kept
in mind:
- Choose your light. Day-light make-up is the best put in
daylight. So do it by a window or, failing that, under fluorescent
lighting. Use a hand mirror for close work, like eye make-up.
- Apply make-up on freshly cleaned skin, which should be toned
and moisturized. Start make-up after five minutes, to allow skin to
settle.
- Give sufficient time to do a good make-up. Avoid rushed
make-up. Plan your look before you begin.
