Makeup is meant to enhance features not bring negative attention to you. That’s what wearing too much makeup will do; it will bring you unwanted attention. Don’t wear too much of anything such as:

i) Eyeliner: dark, thick eyeliner will make you look overdone and will ruin the rest of your makeup.

ii) Mascara: too much mascara looks fake and will flake. It looks especially bad if worn with thick eyeliner or dark blue eye eye shadow.

iii) Foundation: Make sure your foundation is the same color as your skin. Foundation is meant to protect and give the face a smooth look. The magic word is blend.

iv) Powder:The same holds true for powder – not too much. Also, be sure to blend your makeup so there are no obvious lineS

2. Lips

Apply lip liner to completely cover the lips, add color and your lipstick will stay on much longer. Make sure your lip liner doesn’t show. Also, your lip color should match your skin tone; wear cool colors if you have cool coloring and warm colors if you have warm coloring. If you want to make your lips look smaller, keep your liner on the inside of your lips. However, if you decide to make your lips look larger, going outside the natural outline of you lips is a mistake. This can look quite messy and unnatural.

3. Appropriate makeup
Wear makeup that is appropriate for the occasion. If you are going to the beach you shouldn’t wear the same or as much makeup as you would if you were going dancing. Also, when you are in daylight your makeup should be a lighter than when you are out for the evening.

4. Too little or no makeup

Some women don’t wear makeup because they are not sure how to use it and are afraid of being overdone. If you are unsure, start will light colours in your shade. Start slowly and add one product at a time. Maybe start with foundation, add mascara, blush or lipstick. If you are not used to wearing makeup, using a lot a first may be a little too much for you, so start slowly. The bottom line is a little is better than none. If you are still unsure seek professional advice.

5. Overall look

When your makeup is completed it should look natural. That means avoiding colours that clash. If you have dark skin and hair you will look better in darker shades; light colours will make you look washed out. If your hair and skin tone are light, light colours will look better on you. Dark makeup will make you look older and harsh. If you have oily skin, first use oil control moisturizer and foundation. Then be sure to wear loose powder, keeping pressed powder with you for touch ups.

6. Hair color

Your hair color should also be in harmony with your skin. If you have dark hair and you want to add color, keep it close to the same shade. If you have light hair, use light colors. As you age your skin will lighten, so should your hair color. One last thing about hair color – if you do color you hair be sure you keep it up, don’t let your roots show.

7. One last thing

Keep makeup looking fresh all day by doing regular touch ups. Don’t let your makeup fade or crease. Smile!!!

There are different types of bases that are adapted or suitable for different skin types. If a person with oily skin use a creamy base with high oil contents could influence the worsening of acne. Is not because the base is is “bad”, is because the base is being misused, in a type of skin which was not made.

There are bases called “Therapeutic”, which in addition to camouflage the appearance of skin with acne. Treat the problem and helps to improve it. If on skin with acne, we use bases called “oil free” or bases to water, the application of makeup would not worsen the acne and could greatly helps the person deal with their problem.

It is not a hard task to do, just be patient and make it very precisely. Over- tweezing your eyebrows might ruin the entire look and growing back would mean quite a long time.

Shape Your Eyebrows

Take your time, have patience and avoid over-tweezing your eyebrows. Most of the times, women tend to make their eyebrows to thin, almost invisible. Keep in mind that you’ll need eyebrows to emphasize your makeup and make it a perfectly balanced look. Also, thick eyebrows are very in trend at the moment, so there’s no reason to rush into a no-eyebrow look.

The idea of tweezing is to shape your eyebrows and not to vanish them.

Everyone’s eyebrow should start from the same line from where the inner corners of your eyes start. The end of your eyebrows should be on the line that starts from your nostril, the outer corner of your eyes and the eyebrow. Mark the point where the line meets the eyebrows and make it the outer end of it. If you want to arch it, fallow the parallel line from the outer side of your iris.

Once you know the shape you are fallowing, start tweezing and create your new look. Always tweeze from the lower part of your eyebrow when shaping and remember to make it slowly. Use tweezers to get precision and do the entire process in plenty of light. Put your mirror in the window and start tweezing your hair.

Perfect Eyebrows

When you have the best shape of your eyebrow, you can simply emphasize them with a soft touch of makeup. It will sharpen them and fill in the possible over-plucked areas. You can use an eyebrow pencil or shadow and define them with light strokes.

Take your tie when tweezing and do it in the best light conditions. Fallow your eyes shape to find out what shape matches your face and define your brows with a soft makeup. Avoid over- plucking them and try to go as closest possible to their natural shape.

It is the best way to frame your eyes and face, so don’t underestimate the power of polished eyebrows.

The lips are an important part of the face of every woman, they transmit femininity and sensuality. The Lipstick is a basic tool that every woman should have, so it should have certain characteristics that help to highlight the lips and care:

• Slide easily.
• Must be nice to smell.
• Its color has to be unalterable and resistant to light.
• The surface of the bar should be bright, uniform and bright.
• The film left on the lips must be uniform and adherent, never greasy or thick.

Here is a guide to select the best lipstick.

• Your skin tone determines the colors that are better for you.
• The colors of makeup should complement your skin tone.
• People with darker skin or with a yellowish hue (like olive) fit well in cool colors like deep wine color.
• People with these skin tones should avoid yellow because basically they are not complementary but are merged with your tone.
• Light skin tone and tendency to pink skin tones fit well as clear and warm shades of yellow, orange and pastels.
• Always purchase the colors that you look good to you, not those who are beautiful in the store or on the face of your favorite artist.
• To prevent problems you should see the color in natural light.
• There are all shades of red if your skin tends to pink used a light red to orange. If your skin tone is dark use a dark red.

Another important aspect is the fashion. To be fashionable you don’t have expend a fortune at least in makeup. Look at magazines and television shows, noted the colors of lips that actresses and models being used, also examines whether the lips are shiny or matte. Note the contrast with the lips and cheeks, eye shadow.

Makeup and Brushes

I do not know you girls but I get The crisis with all of this makeup brushes, they are son long, so different that I don’t know which one is best.

Well experts says that it is necessary to have mini brushes, a small version of the brushes used by makeup professionals.

I do not deny it, the results of the makeup with brushes are visible, the finish is much better, I have seen it with my own eyes. But the problem is they are not always easy to use, specially for us, ordinary mortals, the professionals have no problem with it, of course they are professionals. That’s why they recommends using these mini versions that are much easier to handle and to start are very well. Many brands launch kits with mini sizes. The brushes are shorter and make a small selection of the essential. But be careful on the quality of the hair. Dior and Mac are highly recommended for their very good quality hair.

In the video Susan Jesko, former Miss America talks about the chemical ingredients in cosmetic products that can affect your health. She said that one day she went to go her doctor for problems with her skin, specifically on his scalp and skin of the neck. When she shows her doctor the products that she was using, he was able to identify that there were many chemical ingredients that was affecting her health. The toxins that cause these products were deposited on her face out from the top of his head and neck. Unfortunately these chemical ingredients had found in many products we use in the United States and only 10 are recognized as chemical substances that can affect the health versus 150 that the the European Union has already acknowledged. She said there is a 12 chemicals list that are harmful to the health are and we must avoid.

The Blacklist
Taken from her website, here are the 12 chemicals that we have to avoid.

1. Benzoyl peroxide
   2. DEA (diethanolamine) , MEA (monoethanolamine) y TEA (triethanolamine)
   3. Dioxin

Here some examples:

As we can see the red lips are back to impose. But no longer red cherry tones but rather more vivid colors, like coral, fuchsia, shades of red wine and tomatoes. This type of makeup is very good at evenings as well for who want to bring a sexy image.

Here is the naked face make-up kind that makes us seem like we have nothing. This style is also carried on this summer. To achieve this effect you only have to get a base (of course the tone of your skin) then you put a little brown shadow on the eyelids, if you don’t want to see you so pale apply a bit of pink in the cheeks, a lip gloss and you are ready.

The other trend that we suggest for this spring-summer is to accentuate the contours of the face. Applying makeup properly can accentuate cheekbones by examples or refine the nose.

Super long eyelashes

In this new season will take either the long and thick eyelashes. No matter whether are false or painted black or brown, but must be long, border, well and sexy. For open more your eyes and give a touch of sensuality.

Bright pastel colors for your eyes

This one lets you play new trend with pastel tones, neutral colors are left behind this season, so it is our imagination..

Smokey Eyes

This is one of my favorite styles I like it because accentuate the eyes. Especially dramatic colors. To get this smokey eyes look use colors like indogo-blue (or dark blue) and brown or black and you will get this dramatic smoky eyes effect.

Pink cheeks

If you do not normally make up the cheeks and it’s time to do so. This season will be used many shades of pink on the cheeks giving an angelic image, an image of freshness and younger.
