general make-up tips?

Question

any good make up tips on applying make up and how to make it look good?

Answer 1

Go easy on it.. try to keep your face naturally clear (drink loads of water, get some sleep, cosume healthy food) instead of gooping it with coverup, fondation, concealer (all which sound the same to me).. Stick with eyeliner close to the color of your lashes, but black will suit just about any shade. Replace mascara every few weeks, for it starts to clump into an ugly state which will make your eyelashes look dreadful.. Dab some blush that complements your skin tone (or put none at all if you blush easily). Swipe on some natural-looking lipstick/lipgloss (or an occasional vibrant red shade). The best makeup you get can naturally is confidence! It makes a whole lotta difference.

Answer 2

I keep it simple. A little mascara and eyeliner..dont do that thing with the eyeliner where you like do a gay lil design. Just line the eye. if you feel like you must use foundation, make sure you put some on your neck too to avoind diferation in skin colors. Make sure you do your eyeborw, it can really make a big difference in the face. Your eyebrows should start and end at either corners. The arch should be 45 degrees diagnol from the center of the pupil. Dont make them too thin cause it can make you look like crap! Hope I helped!

(In no real order)
1. Start with the right colors for your coloring. This is a good way to find that out.

2. Apply makeup with a very light touch. It's better to have to add more, than to try to go back and take off when you've applied too much.
3. Use brushes, sponges, and other applicators not your own fingers. It gives you more control, for more evenly applications and softer looks. It also keeps excess dirt and oils off your face.
4. Make sure your skin is clean, and moisturized before you start. Dull, dry, oily, etc... skin doesn't allow for an even base for applying makeup.
5. One bright color at a time. Like if you are wearing red lipstick, the rest of your face should be natural. More than one attention getting area will look garish, clownish, or just plain trampy.
6. Brows should be shaped. A unibrow or too thick/heavy brows will darken a face, and make eyes look bland.
7. Define just your cheekbones with blush, not your entire cheeks.
8. When using eyelines, don't line the inside lid, it only makes eyes look smaller. Keep liner on the outer 3/4 of the lids (about a pencil width away from the nose), and do just the top lid if your eyes are smaller, close set, or deep set.
9. Always use a highlighter shadow when wearing eyeshadow. Wearing just a color on your lid, and not a lighter color from the crease to the brow line, makes eyes look deep set and small. The lighter color above the lids opens up your eyes, and helps them to stand out.
10. Lip liner is a must. It gives a good base for lip color, helps to set the color, helps to shape your lips, and helps to define the area you want to color.
11. Mascara shouldn't be several shades darker than your natural lashes, which will only look fake. Like if you are a blonde, try brown or black/brown instead of true blacks.
12. When doing touchups during the day, keep it simple. Don't re-apply everything you put on in the morning. Powder, mascara, and lips are enough to keep your look fresh and natural. Applying blush, eyeliner, shadow, etc... repetedly adds too much color to your face, making for a very heavy look.
13. Keep a supply of cotton swabs (Q-Tips) handy during applications. They are the best (cheap) way to fix mistakes, remove excess, smudge liner, and soften harsh lines..
14. Always remember to take off all makeup before going to bed.
15. Keep your skin healthy with lots of water and good face wash. Most soaps and body washes are too heavy or harsh for the skin on the face. Buy a good product that will fit your needs.
16. If you are on a budget, spend the few extra dollars for great face makeup (foundation, concealer, powder) and make up for it with cheaper products for eyes and lips. It's not as important to have quality shadow as it is to have the best foundation.

This is just a start. For your own specific needs there are hints, tricks, and tips that will best suit you.

No matter what you use to try to avoid it there is always a chance that it will fail. So if you don't want her to get pregnant then don't have sex. Thats the only safe way to go since she does not want to use condoms for whatever reason. My mom was on the pill when she got pregnant with all four of her kids. I personally don't think birth control works. I think Drs just say it does.

Answer 5

Use a foundation that is closest to your skin tone. Eyeliner at the top lashes only not only makes your eyes look bigger, it looks more natural. Use a bronzer for a tan look and natural colors to keep from looking like a clown. Also putting a light colored blush directly under your cheek bones will cause your cheek bones to look higher.

Answer 6

i start with my lips. i put some chapstick on and then the lipstick. that a little darker eyeliner color around the edges. then i put eyeliner under my eyes and ontop of my lids near my eye lashes and make a point come out to the sides. put mascara on and then i put a dark purple or whatever color on the botton and i put a lighter color purple or whatever color of the same shad above. then i tweeze my eyebrows small and pencial them in light...
however i think makeup should be for special things or your man coming home to something sexy.
you dont need makeup..natural is the beauty!

Answer 7

Dont apply eyeliner around your whole eye. Just the outside corner then anout 3/4 of the lid. Also try to get the upper eyelid too. Don't over aply blush. Worst thing you can do.

Answer 8

every face is different so don't try to make your eyes look bigger or lips bigger or nose smaller rock what you have & confidence IS your best feature. look for colors on celebs that resemble your skin color and hair. and application is key. moisturizer and clean skin is the perfect pallett.
