Good Skin
Most dermatologists and makeup artists say that it doesn’t matter how expensive the makeup is, if your skin looks bad, so will your makeup. This is why if you want great skin, you have to drink plenty of water. Drinking infused water with lemon and cucumber is great to keep your skin looking fresh and hydrated. Always use a a moisturizer according to your skin type.
Choosing the right makeup could be a difficult task because there’s a lot to choose from, but for a special celebration you want something that won’t make you look shiny. If you’re starting early with dinner with the family, then going out to a party and dancing, you might get sweaty. This is why you have to choose wisely. Choose a foundation that is long-lasting and matte, this will keep the oiliness to a minimum and use blotting sheets to remove any excess oil. If you have dark circles under your eyes you can use a concealer to hide imperfections. There are various methods that you can use to highlight your face and cheekbones such as contouring or strobing.
Eyebrows
Some women take their eyebrows for granted, but make sure you get your eyebrows done professionally. Personally, I like getting my eyebrows threaded every 2 weeks, but some prefer getting them waxed or plucked. It doesn’t matter how you get them done, just make sure they are done right. For great eyebrows, it’s important to use primer, then a brow pencil to shade them in. Finally use an eyebrow brush to comb them and some eyebrow powder to fill them in.
Eyes
Every girl loves to do her eyes because it can really enhance your look. For a big night out of town, you may want to do a smoky eye or choose an eye shadow color that complements what you’re wearing. First you need an eye primer, which will keep your skin from absorbing your makeup. There are various brands you could use that can prevent your makeup from smudging. Using waterproof mascaras that are long lasting are great because not only do they last long, but they actually help your eyelashes curl up. If you can’t decide on an eyeliner, you may want to start with a pencil eyeliner because it’s easy to control. You can also skip the eyeliner and use your eye shadow to line your lashes.
Choosing the right shade of makeup can be difficult. Every girl loves a bright red lipstick, but choosing the perfect shade could vary from person to person. Avoid a shade with too much sparkle or glitter because it can make the color look cheap. Depending on the color of your lips, different shades will work best. If you have pale lips, choose red or coral, for naturally reddish lips try pink, orange or cranberry and for dark lips choose burgundy or bright red. Make sure your lips are properly hydrated because no lipstick will look good on chapped lips. You can look for long-lasting lipsticks or you can apply a little foundation or concealer on your lips before applying the lipstick to make it last longer.
