How do you put cosmetic on?
The most
important thing you can do when applying makeup is to start with a clean
face. A clean face gives you the perfect palate for applying the rest of
your cosmetics. A dirty face, on the other hand, will make it much more
difficult. A clean face will also help keep your skin look clear and
healthy.
After
you have thoroughly cleaned your face, apply foundation smoothly and evenly.
When applied correctly, it should not look like you’re wearing foundation.
The purpose of foundation is to smooth out your skin colors to cover up any
blemishes and to help you put your cosmetics on better. Your face should
feel light and natural. If it is obvious that you’re wearing foundation, or
if your face feels like it’s covered with guck, then you’ve put too much on.
Also consider if you have the right type of foundation. To work properly,
the foundation has to match your skin tone as closely as possible. If you
are having trouble picking the right color of foundation, talk to a
cosmetics consultant at one of the cosmetics counters at your local
department store. If you’ve only put a bit too much foundation on, you can
blot at your skin with some toilet paper to remove the excess foundation
without having to start from scratch.
If
required, you can then apply some concealed to your face with your fingers.
Concealed can be particularly useful around your eyes so any dark circles
don’t have you confused for a raccoon! No matter where you use concealer,
always remember to blend, blend, blend. If the concealer is not blended into
the rest of your face, it will only draw attention to the spots your are
attempting to cover up. It is only after you’ve washed your face and applied
foundation and concealer that you’re ready to move on to the more noticeable
cosmetics such as eyeliner, eye shadow, mascara, blush and lipstick. |
