Skincare and Makeup Tips
We are all jealous of those pretty super-models and movie actresses who look so pretty in magazine photos and on television. But guess what? Every girl can look absolutely gorgeous when she learns a few simple tricks for picking out and putting on makeup.
Skincare regimens are based upon the kind of skin you have: normal, dry, oily or combination. You must to be aware of your kind of skin because that plays a major part in the kind of makeup product that is best for you.
Initiate your facial artwork by taking excellent care of your canvas – your face. Learn about your individual skin type – normal, dry, oily or combination — and then start a daily skincare routine. Twice daily you should wash your skin, tone it some type of an astringent, and moisturize, even if you have oily or combination skin. Stick to this strictly and you’ll always have a great start to your makeup look.
Regardless of what type of skin you have, makeup starts with a good foundation makeup that blends away those little imperfections without looking “made up.” In order to achieve flawless-looking skin, pick out a foundation type that corresponds to your skin type, such as dry, oil, normal or combination. There are also foundation product types for girls who have allergies and those with acne or other skin issues. Once again, it’s very important to take great care of your skin under your makeup.
The most difficult part of picking a good foundation is to find your right shade. The harsh lighting used at most department store makeup counters can fade out your skin color, making it near impossible to pick a matching shade. To compensate, try a sample of the foundation on the very inside of your wrist. The skin there is likely to be the closest match to your facial skin tone. Don’t try to pick a shade by applying it to the back of your hand, because your hand is always darker than your face due to sun exposure. And don’t try makeup samples on your face, because they most likely contain germs.
Select a foundation that is close in tone to your natural skin shade. This can be difficult to do in drug or department stores where overhead fluorescent lights just wash out skin tones. If samples are available, apply a foundation’s shade on the inside of your wrist, not the back of your hand. That’s because the back of your hand is exposed to the sun more frequently, and is likely to be tanner than the skin on your face. If you can, go outdoors to check how the color holds up on your skin in true the daytime light.
Some men like to playfully make fun of us women about our cosmetics, calling it “war paint” (remember Mel Gibson and those crazy Scottish warriors in the movie “Braveheart”?). Well, in a way, the guys are right: a girl whose cosmetics helps her look better not only looks good, she feels happy and strong, able to handle anything life may bring. (And also, have you noticed how many more professional males take a break to go get facials these days?)
You can apply makeup product colors according to the color scheme of your clothing, or you can come with your own “signature” looks based on your complexion and hair color. Once you’ve settled upon your makeup, just make sure your look blends together for your desired finish. Whether your makeup is bold or subtle, you don’t want to end up looking like a made up doll!
If you are not sure about how to decide upon your cosmetics, a can give you good ideas. You may even have a buddy who’s good with makeup product and can give you color suggestions and assistance. The point is that makeup is fun with an added bonus: A pretty face.
