A Helping Hand To Give That Ultimate Look To Your Appearance

By: Chloe Ramsbottom

To begin with, before you apply any cosmetics to your face you will need to be in ownership of a good make of cleanser, toner and moisturiser. For those of you that are unaware of what these three products do, I will now tell you. The cleanser essentially removes dirt, oils, makeup and any other types of bacteria from your face. The toner in essence gets rid of everything that the cleanser has overlooked including getting bacteria out of the pores of your face which are accessible only after you have cleansed; it also restores the pH levels of your skin. Ultimately the moisturiser seals in all the natural oils and prevents it from being damaged by the environment. So summing it all up, this process it keeps your skin feeling fresh, healthy looking and good for the long-term.

After finishing the above steps you will be ready to begin the process of applying your makeup. Primarily you should look at using foundation to give a cover to your face. It is important that you don’t just smear this on in any old way, only use a little amount and dab it on your forehead, cheeks and chin. When you have done this start to blend the foundation dots by using a spherical motion slowly working outwards till the lines have become invisible.If you have blemishes, spots or any other types of imperfections on your face you can use this stage to cover them up with a concealer.

The next stage of applying cosmetics comes in the form of using a blusher for your cheeks. Using a blusher is a great way to bring out a beaming shine on your cheeks. However with this you need a good quality brush because it can go horribly wrong with a low quality brush that isn’t structured correctly, so make sure your brush is decent for the job in hand. To apply blusher simply smile so the apple of your cheeks are clearly seen, then apply a little amount of powder onto your blusher brush and stroke it on each apple of your cheek then unify the colour in.

Following on from the above we can now look at applying eye makeup to your look. Eye makeup can contrast for certain occasions, by this I mean day wear, social wear and evening wear. For this example we will use evening wear as this is probably the most popular. For evening wear it is ideal to stay with trendy and warm colours such as browns, champagnes and pale pinks. To start off with I would apply black eyeliner which will give a startling, vivid appearance and effect to each of your eyes. Then use your choice of eye shadow colour and apply it carefully. Last but not least use some black mascara to finalise the look of your eyes and remember to keep this stage simple and don’t cause yourself any difficulties.

To complete your overall look before you go out to wherever you are going to, don’t forget lipstick. Before putting lipstick on I would suggest outlining your lips with either a lip pencil or a lip liner, make sure that the colour of this liner strongly resembles that of the lipstick you want to use if not it will look perculiar. For example if you have a light shade of red lipstick try not to use a dark coloured lip line colour because as you can predict it will look odd! So once your lips have been lined apply your lipstick carefully then blend in the lined effect to complete your overall look.

There you have it! You are now looking the part and geared up to dazzle and surprise.
