How to Apply Blush

Posted by admin On December - 13 - 2008 ADD COMMENTS

Here are some tips for how to apply blush.

  1. First choose the color using nature as your guide. According to InStyle, the trick is to find a color that matches your cheeks when they’re flushed after exercise or being out in the cold. For a quick test, ‘spank’ your cheeks & use the resulting color as a guide. (We suggest doing this in the comfrot of your home away from other people, wink). Another trick is to match your lip color. Fair skin looks great in rose, olive in peach & dark skin in apricot or even red.
  2. Now that you have the color, choose the right formula for your skin type. Powder is typically best for oily & combo skin. Cream is great for dry skin. Liquid and gel are great for oily skin. For even better results, combine cream & powder together. “It helps my blush stay on longer & looks more luminous,” said makeup artist Laura Mercier in O Magazine . Keep in mind stains — great for well-moisturized skin, not dry skin — tend to dry very fast so blend well & fast.
  3. Apply foundation, eye color & lipstick. While blush is usually your 2nd-to-last makeup step (before powder), you should experiment with what works best for you. Some makeup artists like to apply blush BEFORE foundation for a more ‘natural’ look.
  4. Throw out the freebie ‘Barbie-size’ blush brush that comes with the blush. Use a professional full brush instead, but don’t use the same brush you use for your powder.
  5. Put the blush on your brush, tapping off any excess or put a dab of gel on your fingers.
  6. Look into the mirror and smile. This helps you figure out where the ‘apple’ of your cheek is.

Wearing Red Lipstick

Posted by admin On December - 13 - 2008 ADD COMMENTS

Red lipstick is a universal classic and has yet to go out of style, according to the fashion magazines, yet many women assume they can’t wear it. They’re wrong. Here we show you how.

Rule No. 1: The secret lies in the rest of your face. The paler the skin, the bigger the pop. Go light on the eyes and the blush, otherwise you’ll risk looking like a clown . Here’s how to do it: Skip eyeliner and go only for mascara (black for brunettes, brown for blondes and redheads), making sure to apply to bottom lashes (it opens up your eyes). Dust face with powder and cheeks with a soft blush.
Rule No. 2: Line inside of lips Red lipstick tends to bleed, so fill in lips with lip liner first.
Rule No. 3: Pick the right color If your complexion is pink, you’ll look better in plum shades, while girls with yellow tones are flattered by warmer reds that have a brown base, according to celebrity makeup artist Jemma Kidd in the December 2005 issue of Harper’s.

Rule No. 4: Don’t let nails clash We prefer non-red nail polish when you’re going red on the lips. A clear polish or light color is cool, and black polish is a trend that shows no sign of going away anytime soon.

Applying Eye Shimmer

Posted by admin On December - 13 - 2008 ADD COMMENTS

Follow these tips and guidelines given below that will tell you the correct way to apply eye shimmer.

  • Wash your face thoroughly and tap it dry with a towel. Apply some moisturizer just in case you have dry skin. Blend it nicely around your eyes and make sure it is evenly spread.
  • Apply concealer/compact all over the face and blend it evenly around the eyes to conceal dark circles, fine lines, moles, etc. Apply make up to the rest of the face before proceeding to the eyes.
  • Apply a bit of eye shadow to define the color and match it according to your attire. If you have an eye pencil of the same color, you can line the lower lid of your eyes with it.
  • Now very carefully take a bit of the eye shimmer on a brush. Apply it gently over the eye lid in one direction, preferably from inside to outside. If you are not confident about the powder shimmer, just wet your brush a bit and squeeze out excess water with your fingertips. Now, ‘draw’ a fine line with it over the eye lid.
  • Dip the tip of the brush in the powder and gently drag it over that wet line. The powder will stick nicely to your eyes. If you feel you have taken a bit too much of eye shimmer, just blot it out carefully with a tissue.
