How to Makeup?

Most of the letters we get these days are about make up. Every teenager wants to know how to apply basic makeup. Today we am going to tell you how to apply basic make up.

Here are some tips for applying makeup

1. The first step towards makeup is to have a spotlessly clean face and for this you have to use a cleanser. Clean your face thoroughly with a cleanser and then apply toner on the face with a clean piece of cotton wool.
2. Whether you have a dry, normal, oily or a combination skin there is a foundation specially made for you. For dry skin you get creamy liquid foundations. These contain extra moisturizers to help prevent further dryness of the skin. Normal skin will do either with liquid or creamy foundation. For oily skin use non-greasy cake foundation and on a combination skin use a foundation for normal skin or a shade darker than it. Apply the foundation cobbering all the areas of face and neck. Blend it thoroughly into the skin so that you look natural.
3. Now comes powder which has two uses-one to set the make-up for a long lasting matte finish and two ro absorb any shine that appears on the face. Take a clean place of cotton wool and dip it in powder and lightly pat and press the powder all over the face. Flick off surplus powder with a face brush.
4. Fill in the sparse areas in the eyebrows with a brow brush dipped in brown colour. Now go over them with a black eyebrow pencil. Now use the eye shadow. Eye shadow should only be used on the upper lids. Dip the brush in water then take a small amount of colour. Close one eye and place the colour close to and almost touching the lids. Now draw a soft line next ro the upper lash line with eyeliner. To draw the line, dip the brush in colour. Hold outer corner of the eyelid taut and draw a fine line as close to the lashes as possible beginning at the inner corner of the eye and finishing just at the outer corner with a light upward turn. To line lower lip take a Kajal pencil with the index finger, hold the lower lid down and away from the eye and draw a line starting at the inner corner of the eye at a point corresponding with the upper line and continue' along the lower eyelid just beyond the outer corner slanting slightly upwards as before. Now use the mascara. First brush the lashes downwards to remove any foundation sticking to them then upwards over upper eyelids. Mascara goes better under the fan. The lashes do not gum together due to air. Cover the brush with a light coating of mascara and stroke it on the lashes working from the base to the tips. The lower lashes should be tinted with colour. When the first coat is dry apply the second one. Finally go over the lashes with a dry brush to separate them and 'to remove excess mascara.
5. Apply the blusher on the cheekbones and see the colour blends well into the skin.
6. Finally apply the lipstick. Fashion the upper lip with a lip pencil start from the outer corner following the natural curve of the lip and work towards the center. Now draw the line on the lower lip. When the outline is clearly established fill it generously with colour. Now you are ready to take on the world.
