Make Up Guide
November 20, 2008
Though it is good to get your make up done at the hands of a professional make up artist but if you don’t want to burn a hole in your pocket you can check our Do-It-Yourself (DIY) guide. Of course you will have to lighten your purse for the make up products and various brushes but this is an investment not a waste. When you buy the make up products always opt for a non comedogenic and non acnegenic product.
Also if you have an oily skin then don’t buy any oil based make up since it will contribute to the build up of oil in the follicles.
Lets get started;
1) Foundation - Use a foundation that is closest to your complexion, Asian skin tone are yellowish so don’t make the mistake of buying a pinkish or orangish foundation. To make your foundation stay longer, use a primer before applying the foundation, your make up will not fade away and will last longer. Don’t forget to cover your neck and back with foundation.
2) Eyes - Use a panstick around eyes, use your finger tips to dab the panstick. Now take a wet sponge and dab it to merge the panstick. Apply yellow powder, also known as translucent powder. You can use a lighter shade of panstick to cover a broad nose. Now use a brush and apply pan cake as if using water colour, specially cover area under the eyes and the crows feet. Again apply yellow powder for a complete coverage. Use a mascara that is not more than 3 months old.
Apply with from the root of your lashes to the tip with a back and forth movement for maximum coverage. Comb it through to get the perfect lashes and re-apply. Use eye shadow in 3 shades with the lightest shade on the brow bone, the darkest shade on the crease and the medium shade on the eyelid. Use thin eyeliner if you have deep set eyes or small eyes and thick liner if you have big protruding eyes.
3) Lipstick - Use a lip liner to define your lips but ensure that the shade of the liner matches perfectly with your lipstick. To make your lipstick last longer, line your lips with a lip pencil and then apply the liner on the entire lips, now apply a matte lipstick and dab it with a tissue. Re-apply the same shade of lipstick in a glossy tone, your lipstick will not wear out.
