Answer 1

why is this a girls only question? i would reeeeally like to know. is it due to a habitual way of thinking bred through the ideas of "wholesome" in stigmatic society? my boyfriend can put make on like nobodies ****** business, dear. he puts me to shame. and i have been apllying make up since i was in fifth grade. lol.

Answer 2

For seventh grade you do no longer desire a brilliant number of makeup. some eyeliner, mascara, and eyesshadow will do. do no longer purchase costly makeup manufacturers. considering the fact which you're no longer donning that lots you quite do no longer could desire to waste your money on that stuff. some reliable manufacturers are moist n wild, NYC, covergirl. I espacially like moist n wild and NYC beacuse even however all thier products are not the terrific they nonetheless have enormously first rate ones for an extremely reliable fee. As for a thank you to apply it is going mascara and eyeshadow are enormously worry-free and quite do no longer desire any explaining. this is basically eyeliner thats a sprint complicated. All i will say approximately this is it takes practice to get it good, and that there are continually swabs in case you decrease to rubble. reliable luck!!!!

Apply a concealer that is one shade lighter than your foundation. Dot it on over any blemishes or under-eye circles and blend with your fingertips or a makeup sponge. If your concealer tends to cake, apply eye cream first.

Choose foundation that matches your skin tone exactly. Apply it in dots over the central part of your face, then blend it out with a makeup sponge or your fingertips until it covers your entire face .

Use a loose or pressed powder to keep foundation and concealer on longer. Use pressed powder to touch up when you're away from home.

Do your eyebrows next. Use powdered eyebrow shadow on brows instead of pencil, which can often look unnatural. Apply it with a hard, slanted brush.

Choose three colors of eye shadow: light, medium and dark. Use the dark only to line your upper eyelid, in a fairly thin line along the upper lashes. Use the medium shade for the crease and the lightest shade for the area under the eyebrow. There are many variations on eye shadow application techniques.

Apply eyeliner. Use a cake eyeliner with a damp, thin liner brush, or an eyeliner pencil, and line the lower lid below the lashes. Line only the outer two-thirds of the lower lid, or all the way across if you're trying to achieve a darker look. Line all the way across the upper lid (just above the lash line and as close to the lashes as possible), or start the line where your lashes begin.

Apply mascara to upper and lower lashes, in two thin coats to avoid clumpiness. Choose brown mascara if your coloring is fair; black or brown-black works well for darker coloring. Or try a colored mascara such as navy or plum for fun, but don't go too bright if you want to be taken seriously.

Smile to find the apples of your cheeks, and apply blush to the apples or below, whichever you prefer. If you have to blend in blush, it's too bright.

Choose a lipstick color that's suited to your skin tone and that's perfect for your day look. You can mix colors and textures to suit your moods and your outfits.

Line lips after applying lipstick, not before. That way you won't end up with a dark circle of lip liner after your lipstick has worn off. Avoid combining very dark lip liner and pale lipstick.

Tips:
Follow the steps in the order given, and remember to clean and moisturize your face before applying makeup.

Choose brighter or darker tones for a stronger look.

Clean makeup brushes by gently washing them in warm water and mild gel shampoo. Air-dry them overnight.

Don't skimp on makeup tools. High-quality tools make application easier and faster.

If you decide to curl your eyelashes, do this just before applying mascara'never after. Insert your eyelashes into the curler, squeeze just once, and hold for a few seconds.


Warning:
Bacteria can grow in older cosmetics, which can lead to infections. Be on the safe side: Toss anything that's seems old, especially mascara, and avoid sharing products with others.

Answer 4

Foundation can be applied by using an applicator sponge or your fingers. For mascara and eye shadow, you really need to investment in some good brushes. For the basics, go to a makeup counter at Nordstrom and have a professional show you how.

Answer 5

Its best to use a dampened makeup wedge or sponge for your foundation, you get a lighter, sheerer, coverage, and it doesn't have that cakey look.
Make sure you cleanse your face well before applying, and I'm assuming your'e young, so even if you have oily skin, its important to use a lightweight moisturizer as a base for your makeup.
You only need to apply foundation where you need it on your face, to cover blotchy, uneven pigmented areas, usually the t-zone. The lighter hand you use, the more natural it will look, not "made-up".
Smile and apply blusher to the "apples" of your cheeks, it should start even with the iris of your eye and extend even with outer corner of your eyes. Don't try conturing, you suck in your cheeks and apply darker color (such as bronzer) to hollows under cheekbones to make your cheekbones look higher. Leave that to the pros! LOL!
Put a little bit of foundation or powder on your lips, then pick an appropiate color lipstick and apply, and blot on a tissue to set in place. Or fill in your entire lip area with a lip liner that closely matches your lipstick, then apply your lipstick over the liner and blot, this will make it last all day..Apply gloss over lipstick if your want, but it will make it wear off faster.
For eyeshadow, basic rule is, with a eyeshadow trio kit medium shade fills in lid , darker shade goes in eyelid crease (use a q-tip to apply to crease, its easier), use a little of darker color in a v- shape just at outer corners of eyes, lightest shade goes just under browbone, (not all the way to eyebrow, use sparingly).
If you use eyeliner, hold your upper lid taut and apply from outer corner to inner corner with one stroke, slighty angling up at outer corners. If lining under bottom lids, smudge the pencil a little so it looks less harsh. It looks good to apply an eye shadow in matching shade over the pencil liner and helps it stay on longer.
When you apply mascara, if you use more than one coat, be sure and let first one dry before applying the next one, then use a mascara comb when done to remove any clumps and define lashes.
Finish up with a loose powder applied with a good powder brush, dip it in the powder, then tap handle to knock off excess and apply.
Guess that about covers the basics.

Answer 7

Here's what ya need to do..

Step 1.Facial cleansers and scrubs are important for your face's circulation. The best way to clean your face is the gentlest way. Use facial pore cleansers & scrubs when it comes to caring for your face. Some skin care face cleansers can be considered harsh when it comes to your skin care. Your facial cleansers and scrubs should remove makeup and dirt without leaving your face feeling overly dry. Facial cleansers and scrubs are vital to healthy skin.

When you want to wash your face you want to dissolve the dirt and oil on the surface of the skin and normalize your skin condition. Facial cleansers and scrubs basically consist of oil, water and sufuctants. Oil dissolves the oil on the face and sufactants dissolve everything else and finally water washes it all away. Skin care face cleansers can prevent blemishes.

Step 2.Step 1 - First apply moisturizer to your face.

Step 2 - Shake the foundation bottle well. Dab some into your palm.

Step 3 - Dip in your fingers or a triangular sponge, and dot on your cheeks, your chin, your forehead, and your nose.

Step 4 - Smooth it over your face and gently blend in upward, outward motions, making sure not to forget the side of your nose, under your eyebrows, along the jawline, blending an inch below the jawline and chin.

Step 5 - Gently blot the face with a tissue when you are done, to soak up any excess oil. Your foundation should feel light and natural. In fact, if you can feel it at all, you have put on too much.

FOUNDATION APPLYING TIP 1: If your water-based foundation dries out, add a few drops of alcohol-free toner and shake to get rid of clumps. A bit of toner will also make an oil-based foundation sheerer and less oily. (Note: oil-based foundations separate; shake each time before you use them.)

FOUNDATION APPLYING : If you have facial hair, apply foundation in the downward direction to minimize the impact of facial hair.
Step-1. Apply the medium shadow first. Refer to medium described above. Note: When applying any makeup, make sure all edges are feathered so the colors just fade away gradually. You do not want any distinct lines showing where a color starts or stops. Blend, Blend, Blend...This is real important! We also recommend using brushes for all the powdery makeup applications. Those little foam things that come with most make up just don't seem to give the feel and control that a good brush does.

Step-2. Apply the dark shade to the eye lid area. It is best to start in the middle of the eye lid and work out towards the outside, cover the entire lid. Blend the crease area in well. If you have a thin eye shadow brush you might want to try darkening the crease area with a little more dark shadow, just along the crease though......gives a different type of effect.

Step-3. Apply first coat of highlighter to brow bone. There are many other techniques of applying eyeshadow. You may want to research other techniques, as some techniques are better suited for certain facial characteristics.

First apply eye shadow, then move on to apply eye liner.

Position your lining device. Hold the lining device as you do a pen or pencil. Turn your hand so the applicator tip is parallel to your eyelid.

If you are in the beginning stages of makeup application, do not use liquid eyeliner.....It can get you real upset.....It's kinda tricky....try it later on after you get the hang of things a little. Instead start with an eyeliner pencil.



Step-1. Using an eyeliner pencil, run the pencil above the upper eyelid lashes right close to the lash line. At first it is best to only line directly above where the lashes are growing, do not extend your line too close to the inner corner of the eye, it might not look right. You can play with extending the liner line later when you feel a little more comfortable with eye makeup.

Step-2. When you have finished lining, lightly smudge the line you just drew. Mostly pencils have a foam rubber smudger on one end. Smudging softens some of the harshness the line may have, in other words, blend the line in a little so it dosen't look like a distinct line. A Q-tip works just as well.

Step-3. After you line and smudge, use a small pointy brush and run a coat of the dark eyeshadow over the eyeliner. Do this if the line looks like it stands out too much, it softens it and is a "must do" step for liquid liner.

Step 1 - If you use loose powder, dip your powder brush into the powder. Shake or tissue off the excess.

Step 2 - Dust the face lightly in upward strokes.

Step 3 - Wipe the brush on a tissue, and then use it to remove excess powder from your face.

Apply pressed powder with a circular velour or sponge in light, upward strokes. Your velour or sponge won't last as long as powder. If your applicator looks shiny and caked, or if hardly any powder comes off on your face when you glide the velour or sponge across, it's time to wash it or get a new supply. Otherwise, the oils from your skin will build up on the powder to create a shiny, hardened film. In that case, scrape off the surface with a knife, and the powder will be as good as new.
