7 WAYS TO APPLY MAKE UP CORRECTLY
Use the following
method for makeup basics for everyday use. You can always enhance your daytime
makeup for special occasion makeup by choosing dramatic color schemes. In any
event, you can create a flawless look with ease and maintain an attractive complexion
when applying makeup.
Instructions
1.
Cleanse your face immediately before you apply makeup. Use a
mild cleanser designed for facial cleansing. Pat to dry your skin. Never rub or
pull your skin.
2
Apply astringent and moisturizer to your skin. Some moisturizers
contain sun screen, so if you live in an area where daily sun screen is
important, choose a moisturizer with sun screen.
3
Spread concealer to cover under-eye circles, blemishes or lines.
Apply the concealer with the ring-finger of your weaker hand for minimum
stretching or pulling on your skin.
4
Smudge on a foundation. Dot your checks, forehead and chin with
the foundation, and then blend evenly with a makeup sponge. If you don't use
makeup sponges, use your hand to blend your foundation.
5
Put on eye makeup in this order: eye shadow first, eyebrow
pencil (if necessary), eye liner, and then mascara. When applying your eye
shadow, use a three-shade approach with the lighter shades of color near the
brow and lid. Use the contrasting color, or darker color, for the crease.
6
Apply blush. Choose a blush color that compliments your eye
shadow color, and apply under the cheek bone.
7
Outline lips with a lip pencil and then apply lipstick. Choose a
lip pencil and lipstick from the same color scheme as your blush, if possible.
Blot your lips using a tissue after you apply the lipstick.
