10 Tried and Tested Makeup Tips That Work Every Time

There are so many trends in the world today that it is hard to keep up with them. While techniques with makeup may change, it is all the time good to stick with what works. If it ain’t broke, why fix it! Here are the top 10 tried and tested makeup tips. No matter what brand, formula, or emerging technology, you can depend on these tips for your DIY makeup routine.

Make It A New Beginning

You should apply your makeup right after washing, exfoliating and moisturizing your face. Warm water, facial massage, and moisturizer will smooth out fine lines, remove dead skin, and supply optimal hydration for your skin. Applying your makeup after washing your face will make it smoother and last longer.

Start With the Eyes

It’s just a smart way of working, because you haven’t got to worry about shadows of powder falling on your cheeks, or smudges under your eyeliner. These things will smudge your foundation, blush, or concealer and cause you to reapply it. Using a primer or cream eye shadow will allow your eye makeup to go smoother and have a more even application.

Waterproof eyeliner

The waterproof liner gives firmer and more defined eyes. They glide on effortlessly and last all day. To apply, start by resting your elbows on the table to steady your hands. Look in the mirror, lift your chin and draw along the base of the top lid.

Do this in small forward and backward motions. You will want to start on the outside of the eye and work inwards. You should stop about three-quarters of the way up. Remember to get as near the root of the lashes as possible to help fill in any gaps. It is these dense pigments that will provide a powerful border. Finish forming the eye by lining the bottom edge. You will want to use a light touch when applying the liner under your eyes.

Curl Your Eyelashes

Ladies, make eyelash curler your best friend. You’ll want to invest in a quality curler, as they will not pinch, curl, or break your lashes. Plus, it is something that will last for years to come. It’s all about shape, hinge, and cushioning in terms of choosing a quality curler for your lashes. You will want to position the curler open and shut gently above the base of the lashes. Hold for 30 seconds. You do not need to spend a fortune on mascara, as you will need to throw it out every three months for hygiene reasons. Apply your mascara starting at the roots and making zigzag wiggles as you work your way up. Place the heaviest concentration of mascara at the base of the thickest lashes.

Accentuate Your Eyes With Natural Shadows

If you have dark eyes you’ll want to use warm colours, light eyes should stick with cool colours. You do not need to contour the whole eye. Pale, shimmery shadows on lids can help make your eyes pop. Use a medium color in the crease and right above you can use a darker color to make the eyes appear bigger. Dark browns and charcoals can serve as smoky top coats to hide imperfections you create with eyeliner.

Don’t Forget Your Eyebrows

You should all the time go the extra mile and take care of your brows. Take care to fill, lengthen and look after it, as it’s key to facial gesture. You will want to keep it natural. A brief brow pencil will let you create feathered strokes, remembering to follow the direction of hair growth. Use powder to fill in sparse areas, as it will stick to the pencil base. You can use a clean mascara wand to blend.

Stop Trying to Cover Up and Do some Healthy Hemorrhaging

Your makeup will help bring back the glow to your skin. The goal is to look healthy. You can use a shade warmer to help neutralize pale, pale skin. It will also help neutralize redness and rosacea. Choose a foundation that has the word “glow” in it. These types of products contain reflective technology that will provide an incandescent glow to your skin. Use a foundation that’s moisturised and sheer, but highly pigmented. Forget using matt, powder, high-definition, total coverage or long-lasting facial products. Always use luminous ones, because they won’t ever let you down.

Quality Makeup Brushes

If you want your makeup to go on smoothly, then you need to invest in quality brushes. Aging skin contains texture with fine lines. It is suggested that you use a soft, synthetic brush set. This will make your makeup look true to the skin. Using a foundation brush will stop the makeup from settling into the nooks and crannies. You will want to start at the center of your face and blend your foundation outward. Let it fade towards the jawline and hairline for a seamless look. When using a foundation brush, you want to use forward and backward circular motions. Glide the brush over the nose and around the lips, ensuring you smooth out all the creases. Wrinkles are areas where makeup tends to settle. Use a concealer brush under the eyes and on the inner corner beside the nose to blend the makeup evenly.

Blend High Blush On Cheekbones

If you want to add energy to your face then you need to blend a natural looking blush above your cheekbones. This will draw attention to your eyes, and mask other problem areas. Go for pink, rose, apricot, or bright red depending on your skin tone. There will be plenty of color when you first apply it, but it will fade as you blend it.

Amazing Lips

A upper lip lift can turn back the clock, and restore a youthful and vibrant look to your lips. However, not all of us are ready for cosmetic procedures. There are some easy tricks you can do with makeup to make your lips look prettier. Always be sure that you choose a lip liner that matches your lip color.

Start by sketching the border of your lips. Correct a faded, asymmetrical, or thinning upper lip line by rounding off the arc rather than drawing it to a single point. Make sure to fill your entire mouth with the liner, as it will act as a base and stop rings around your mouth. Choose a creamy lipstick, and avoid shine. Nude colours tend to be the best. Skip the pale colours as you do not want to match your lip color or liner.
