Every girl or woman wants to look beautiful and to highlight their important features, especially on their face. Every girl sooner or later starts experimenting with make up. There is no doubt that make up, makes you look beautiful but only if it applied properly. Many women do not know how to apply make up properly. Here are a few make up tips that should help you.
Use a gel blush or a cream blush instead of powder in a shade of pink and it will look more natural. Gels or creams are more transparent and blend smoothly. Rub them onto your cheekbones and blend upwards towards your eye for a glowing rosy complexion.

To fix unpolished nails, fail nails into square shape, buff them to give some shine and then apply a clear coat of polish. Then rub a little cuticle oil around the edges of your nails and apply rich moisturizer on your hand. In about 15 minutes your hand will have a polished look.

The trend now is to have natural looking eyebrows and not thin, arched brows. Use a tinted brow definer or eye shadow to fill your brows if they are scanty.

Before you sharpen your eyeliner or lip liner keep it in the freezer for about 10 minutes. The pencil will harden a little and will not break when sharpened.
Women whose eyes are deep-set should use liquid liner instead of pencil eyeliner. Liquid liner does not smudge easily and will not smudge in the crease of the lid in deep-set eyes.

To prevent mascara flaking off and smudging on your face, apply a thin coat of mascara on your top lashes only. Then brush your lashes with an eyelash brush to prevent clumpy mascara build-up.

Before curling your eyelashes, heat the eyelash curler with a hair dryer for a few seconds. Test to make sure that it is not very hot and then apply it on your eyelashes. The heat will ensure that the curl stays in place on extra long eyelashes.

Before buying a concealer or foundation, test the color on the inside of your wrist. The skin here is unblemished and will give you an idea on how the color will look on your face.

To extend the life of your foundation mix a drop of your moisturizer to create a glowing look for your skin.

Apply foundation after you have done your eye make-up. This way you will be able to fix any mascara or eyeliner smudges.

To prevent your lips from feeling dry when you apply matte lipstick, apply lip balm on your lips before start your make up. By the time you do your eyes and the rest of the face your lips would have absorbed the balm and will be ready for the matte lipstick.

To make lipstick last for longer shade your lips with lip liner before you apply lipstick.

If you have applied nail polish in a sloppy fashion, then just soak your nails once they are dry in warm water for a few minutes and them rub off the extra nail polish with a finger.

Dark eye shadow can be used as eyeliner as well. Use a very flat brush, wet is and dip it in dark eye shadow. Wriggle the brush into your lash line paying special attention to the space between the lashes and then use the color just above your lash line.

The most important factor in choosing makeup colors is determining your skin tone. Here's how to determine your skin tone.

Warm skin tone:
1. Look at inner wrist - veins will appear green.
2. Gold jewelry is more flattering than silver jewelry.


Cool skin tone:
1. Look at inner wrist - veins will appear blue.
2. Silver jewelry is more flattering.

Look at your wardrobe and hold up a few items in different colors against your face. Which ones appear more flattering to you in a mirror with natural sunlight? Which colors are you drawn to?

If you are not sure, ask one or two trusted friends or family members who's style you admire.

As for color palettes:

1. Earth colors are considered to be more neutral and natural
e.g. taupe or brown eyeshadow, soft blush (Nars Orgasm), lip colors that are like your own but with a little oomph (Revlon Lip Super Lustrous Gloss - Cherries in the Glow)

2. Jewel colors are considered to be more dramatic
e.g. blue or purple or green or shimmery eye shadows, black eyeliner, bold blush, deep burgundy or bright pink lip colors

You can choose from either palette as long as the tones are flattering.

A dark green eyeliner will make the color flecks in brown eyes pop. (e.g. SmashBox Creme Eyeliner)

You can also try a soft champagne shimmer with black eyeliner for a more sophisticated, evening look.

To bring more attention to your lashes, try using a lash curler.

I've heard navy eyeliner makes brown eyes pop. You could try using glittery eyeliner or a metallic one. The brand Urban Decay on sephora.com has some really cool products, I have some of them.

Always curl your lashes... it makes a huge difference.

Also remember, sometimes less is more. Too much eye makeup doesn't ever look very good.

If you have a darker complexion you could try doing the smoky eye, but if you're pale i'd stay away, or use colors like lavender (fresh look) or greys/bronzes to do it.

I have dark brown eyes too, and every color fit ! We are so lucky ! ;)
So, these are my tips for a pretty natural make-up. Personnally, i wear mascara, lip gloss, blush and a bit of eyesahdow.

- Try dark color. We have dark eyes, so it's pretty with some teal, dark purple, grey...
- Wear eyeliner for a night make up. It's different, but it's a little bit hard to apply it. It's you do a messy look, erase a bit with a Q-Tips and make up remover.
- Blush make a make up more finised. Choose enter a bronzer one or a pink shade. Or both depens on the look and the season.

Hope i help you !

One word: CONTRAST!

You should drag some bright blue eye shadow under your eye. Leave the top lid brown. That blue will make your eyes pop!

Also toss the blush & use bronzer for the cheeks. And get creative with the eye liners. MAC sells every color under the sun & they are all very prominant and gorgeous.

To me, its all about the eyes.

Have fun with it! One night, just sit & play with a bunch of make up until you find the right fit.
