Makeup Tips for Everyone!!!

Makeup can be an overwhelming part of the beauty regimen. Suddenly, certain “rules” have interfered with tricks that may work wonders for an individual. Makeup is meant to enhance facial features and apparel – it is also a fun way of self expression. Break the rules if you want to! I don’t suggest wearing blue lipstick, but if you want to wear a dark eye in the day, do it… and do it right!We are so lucky to be of a gender that can change her entire look with a couple of tools. So have fun with your makeup, and try to keep some of the following secrets in mind....
Choosing appropriate eye color:
Satin textured shadows are great for day-wearShimmery or iridescent shadows create a bold statement, i.e. wear for a night out!Pastel colors work well with cool skin tonesEarth colors work well with warm skin tonesDark eye shadow compliments large eyesLight eye shadow allows your natural eye color to be the main focus.

For a more dramatic eye:
Eye pencils create smokier looks than liquid liner.Curl lashes ¾ the way towards lids, twice before applying mascara, once after first coat dries.When using pigment (shadow) that is dark or loose, place a paper towel under your bottom lash line to catch the stray color and minimize raccoon eyes.Dab a tiny bit of light, iridescent shadow to the inside of your upper lid (by nose) and lightly above the outer part of your eyebrow. This makes eyes appear lively! The key here is to do so subtly!Lining the entire top lid has a maximizing effect, lining half minimizes – make your choice based upon preference.Clear mascara works wonders for keeping brows in place!
