Some women never give make-up much thought. Others can never get their make-up color palette right and end up looking like a clown. Some are just down right confused with all the tools and brushes. Then there comes a day when you need make-up for that special occasion. Here are some really simple make-up tips that every woman can understand and the products that every woman should introduce to their make-up kit.
You need a good foundation that blends into your skin tone. Foundations have either a pink undertone or a yellow undertone. To find out what best suits you, look at the veins of your inner arm. If you have blue veins, you have a pink undertone. If you have green veins, you have a yellow undertone. Next, you need to find the correct shade to you skin. Apply it to your jaw line to see if it matches with the color of the neck area. Do this under natural light and it is always good to have a second opinion doing this. Get a friend's advice or ask the make-up person behind the counter.
Eye shadows are essential to any make-up kit. They can highlight or dramatize the eyes for a daytime or a nighttime look. Choose three colors in the same shade family from light, medium, to dark. The light eye shadow goes from the brow of the eye to the lashes. Then, apply the medium from the inner crease to the outer crease of the eye. Next, the darkest color will go along the lash line. A black eye shadow can also double as eyeliner for a less harsh look. Of course, to accomplish all this, you need an eye shadow brush and an angled stiff hair brush to apply black eye shadow lash line. Blend and smudge everything together for a softer look.
In addition to eye shadow, an eyelash curler is pretty handy for lengthening and curling your lashes. Next, apply black mascara which is suitable for just about everybody other than fair haired individuals. For blonde or red heads, brown mascara is more appropriate.
Next in your make-up kit, get a lipstick that is just one or two shades lighter than your natural lip color.
Finally, to round out your beauty arsenal, find the right blush color for your cheeks. In order to get a natural match think about what you look like after you exercise. Or just try pinching your cheeks. That's the right color for you.
With these simple make-up tips, every woman can look beautiful!
