Applying makeup, Eyeshadow, mascara and eyeliner

Hi everyone, and welcome back to my blog

Good eye makeup will accentuate the eyes and make your eye colour stand out. How you apply your makeup is entirely dependent on the look you are going for.

It’s important to learn about the shape of your eyes so you can bring out the best in your features. For example, if your eyes are close-set you may want to use a lighter colour in your inner corners to make them appear further apart.

Before applying eyeshadow, applying a cream eyeshadow base because it creates a beautiful texture and a smooth canvas for  eye makeup.

Always blend your eyeshadow well with a clean fluffy brush across the area  where your eyeshadow ends, to create a flawless finish.

Classic black mascara is best for all occasions but pick your mascara according to the look you want. when applying mascara, don’t pump the wand because this will push air into it and encourage it to dry out.

Work from the base to the tips of the lashes and roll the wand to avoid clamps. always apply from underneath so you don’t weigh down the lashes. Allow the mascara to dry before applying more coats if you want a more dramatic effect.

If you want a softer look, line your eyes with a powder eyeshadow using an angled brush. For a more dramatic look, use a gel or liquid liner to draw a line close to the lash line with a flick at the outer end. For an even more striking look, use a thicker line with a more accentuated flick at the end.

A smokey eye is a true classic, and if all we were seeing this season was traditional smokey eyes, maybe it wouldn’t count as one of the spring/ summer 2017 makeup trends. However, the smokey eyes of this upcoming season are light, subtle, and mostly kept around the lash line – the kind of smokey eye hastily drawn on in the car, to bring a day look to night when heading to the bar straight from the office.

  2. Apply mascara to thicken lashes, as this will give your eyes definition.
  3. Use blusher to make your face come alive. Smile and apply with a brush on the apples of your cheeks then blend outwards to the ears.
  4. Gently fill in your brows to define your eyes. draw in short lines – a hard eye brow pencil will last longer than a powder.
  5. Dust setting powder over your make – up to make sure everything stays in place.

Nude, gradient, metallic, or bold, the wet eye look is fashionable and here to stay. As opposed to a powder, a wet eye shadow really helps the pigments stand out.  For a long-lasting and bolder look, wear a shade you’re comfortable with, but as a wet eye shadow. This will also not have as much fallout as powder ones, which means you can say goodbye to both boring eyes and crinkly eye dust!

No makeup look Actually no makeup look or in other words, nude makeup will be one of the biggest trends of 2017. Embracing your flaws and featuring clean, radiant look is going to be something. So all you will need is something to cover up those blemishes, that’s it!

Skin care necessities

Hi everyone and welcome back,

 

As you know, there is no good makeup without good skin. Makeup should enhance your natural beauty, not mask it. Taking responsibility for your skin, means getting into a proper regime and looking after it correctly each and every day.

The better you take care of yourself and your skin, the better you look. although you can’t change your genetic makeup, you can be kind to your body (sleep, water and healthy food) and you can control your skin condition.

Sleep and water are essential to great looking skin 

 

Sleep – Try going without it and you’ll see why you need it so desperately. under-eye circles and bags are just the beginning.

Water – Whether it’s drinking eight glasses a day. washing twice a day or hydrating whenever you need it- water is crucial.

Sunscreen – To avoid wrinkles, sunburn, brown spots,, protect your face with foundations containing sun protection, even a basic foundation creates some protection from the sun’s rays.

Don’t smoke – smoking causes wrinkles, especially around the mouth.

Take it off – Leaving makeup on overnight clogs pores and is probably the worst thing you can do to your skin.

Healthy food – Avoid processed food, which is full of chemicals and preservatives.

Eat a diet rich in antioxidant nutrients; you will find vitamins A,C and E in dairy products, citrus fruits green vegetables and vegetable oil.

Moisture – Whether you opt for a gel, a cream or a lotion, you will need a moisturizer that suits your skin type. Anything too rich or unsuitable will simply block pores and create unsightly problems.

Don’t forget – cleansing , Toning, Hydrating and protecting, all these is important for your skin.

 

Hope you like this post, have a great week everyone 🙂
