because they allow for a “blank canvas” to blend other products into, but it is the job of your blush and bronzer to put some color back in your face. Bronzer can be used not only to warm up your face but also to sculpt it out. Swiping bronzer in the hollows of your cheeks, right underneath the cheekbones, can give your face a quick lift. Blush, of course, goes on the apples of your cheeks, but a good trick is to also swipe your blush lightly towards your hairline, allowing it to look more natural as opposed to two pink spots on your face! One trick I recently learned was the two-toned blush method: sweep a deeper-toned blush lightly towards your hairline, and then pop a lighter color of blush on the apples of your cheeks to draw attention to the center of your face while still keeping the look natural.
eyeshadow placement is that darker and matte colors go in the crease of your eyes; this helps to deepen your socket and make your eyes seem larger. Brighter colors go on the lid and can be pretty much any color you would like, and then a pop of very light eyeshadow can go right underneath your brow’s arch as well as in the inner corner of your eye, which helps to also open up the eye and allow you to seem more awake. Of course, eyeshadow looks can vary from this standard in many different ways: a “halo” or “spotlight” eye is when you put a darker shadow on the outer and inner corner of your eye and a bright pop of shadow
Eyes:
Facial makeup is important since it does allow for that base of your look. The eyes, however, are probably the first thing to be noticed in a makeup look. Eyeshadow is my favorite part of a makeup routine; whether I’m doing a natural look or playing with some bold colors There is nothing more satisfying than a wellblended eye-look. For a lot of women, however, eyeshadow is too time consuming and sometimes too confusing. The general guidelines for
in the middle of your lid, and a cut-crease is when there is a direct contrast between the crease eyeshadow and the lid eyeshadow with little to no blending. These looks can be achieved with some practice and can be a lot of fun to test your skills with, but most of us would probably agree it is
far easier to pop two or three eyeshadows on and be done with it! After eyeshadow comes eyeliner. Depending on what type of eyeliner you are using and where you are placing it, this step can either be quick and easy or can turn into a complete disaster. Nevertheless, practice makes perfect. One easy trick with eyeliner is to use a dark eyeshadow in place of an actual liner; take a smaller detail brush and run the darker shadow along your lash line. This allows for a very natural look but also makes your lashes appear fuller. If you do choose to go for an actual eyeliner, however, some versions work better for different effects. Liquid eyeliner pens can be quick and easy if you just want a straight line following your lash lines, but gel eyeliners used with a brush can sometimes give more precision. Then there is the cat-eye or winged-out style, which is the natural enemy of many. If you ever choose to tackle a cat-eye look, I would say that a gel eyeliner and a small angled brush will give you the most control. You also want to make sure your winged eyeliner fits your eye shape – I usually make my wing aim towards the tail of my eyebrow. Another trick lies in the shape of your wing; a longer and thinner wing will allow your eyes to look extended while a short and fat wing can make your eyes seem rounder.
The last step for your eyes is mascara, a well-known staple for most women. Most of us can accurately understand how to put on mascara: you swipe the brush along your eyelashes, the end. Except maybe not. There are a handful of mascara tricks to make your lashes appear as long as possible. Wiggling the mascara wand gently from side to side as you sweep it through your lashes will help to separate the lashes as well as evenly coat each one in mascara. Waterproof mascara can also work better at holding a curl in your lashes if you are willing to fight with it later when taking your makeup off. But my most important piece of advice when it comes to mascara is to never curl your lashes with an eyelash curler after you have just applied mascara. If the mascara is still even a little wet, it can cause your lashes to stick to the curler and rip them all out!
Lips:
Typically the final step in makeup is lips. Once again, most of us can comprehend
