MakeUp Tips

Concealer

is used to hide dark circles around the eyes, and is also used to cover blemishes and scars. A beige concealer is ideal for dark skins and one with natural tones for fairer skins. This should be spread evenly using a dry sponge or your fingers. Now, apply the foundation.

Foundation

 is used to enhance the color of the complexion. Three basic types may be used, depending upon your skin type. For dry skin, liquid foundation works best whereas semi-liquid is best for combination skins. Foundation can be applied with a sponge and blended into the hairline and along the jaw for a natural finish.

Translucent

 powder is used to dust the face. This helps that the foundation to stay on longer. Excess powder should be brushed off. Blusher should be blended evenly along the cheekbones.

Lips

The lips should be outlined with a lip liner so that the lipstick does not bleed. Lipstick is then applied and blended with the lip liner. Then dust your lips with powder so that the lipstick lasts for a longer period of time, and then apply the last coat.

Eyes

Eye shadow colors should be selected carefully, light shadow is applied on to the lids to create a base. Darker eye shadow is then used at the outer corners of the eyes, to enhance the eyes. A kajal or kohl stick can be used in the inner eyelid to make the eyes appear even more dramatic. Mascara applied to the lashes increases this effect. Eyebrows should be sharp and tidy and should be free of all traces of makeup.

Face

Get your face prepared a day or two before.

The reason for this is if you have a facial on the day impurities tend to come to the surface and you don't want that on the night! Do 48 hours before to ensure your skin looks its best and simply exfoliate on the day. Powdered skin always gives a uniform appearance so use concealer rather than foundation which can make your face look tired and mask like.

Body

Relax in essential oils and let them moisturize and tone your skin on the day. Exfoliate the day before (not on the day) to avoid possible short term irritation. Make sure you moisturize all over afterwards.

Fragrance

Use strong smelling fragrances such as amber or musk, as they will give a pleasant scent in any party atmosphere.Just a few beauty secrets that are quick and easy to do and of course there are many more - that will help you look your best on your big night.
