Skincare And Makeup Application Techniques

!±8± Skincare And Makeup Application Techniques

They always say that makeup is an art. Rather than getting discouraged, there is something comforting in that. This means that with the proper instruction anybody can turn a drab look into something fantastic. All it takes is someone to show you what to do.

When you are planning for a big night out, it can be fun to try a new look. However, if you do not know what you are doing, the consequences can seem terrifying. We have all tried it, and later wished we did not. But, if you could have someone show you makeup application tips, would you be more interested in trying something new?

Learn how to cleanse, tone, and moisturize your face. Also, learn how to use foundation, powder and blush for a smooth makeup look. Learn fantastic advice about eyeshadow, eyeliner, lip liner and lip color. So, next time that you think of trying a new look, you will have the knowledge and confidence to apply a beautiful makeup application!

Cleansing the Face You are going to begin by cleansing your skin to make sure that you are prepared to put your makeup on. First use a cleanser and then a toner and finally a moisturizer. Those are the 3 steps that you need to do to make your foundation and makeup stay on throughout the day or evening.

First, take a damp cloth and dampen your face. Use a small amount of gentle eye makeup remover to remove any mascara or eyeliner that you had on previously. Do this very gently and avoid getting the remover in your eyes. Make sure to rub the eye makeup remover to the outside corner of your eye to keep you from getting the old mascara or eyeliner into your eye.

Next, make sure that you use a good cleanser so that you do not have to rub on your skin to hard. Make sure that you use a product that is going to cleanse your skin really well but be gentle at the same time. You want to make sure as you are cleansing your face, that you do not pull and tug on your skin.

Pulling and tugging on your skin can cause wrinkles to form, which could take 5-10 years to show up. Make sure that you rub very, very gently when you are working on your face and around your eye area in particular.

Place a small amount of the cleanser on your fingertip and touch your forehead, each of your cheeks, your chin and on the center of your face. You do not have to use a lot of cleanser and do not use a cleanser that has any soap in it. Now rub the cleanser lightly into your skin. It is going to cleanse your skin and take off any makeup that may be left from before so that your makeup will be fresh as we apply it. Rub very lightly on your forehead and remember not to pull and tug on your skin. We do not want to start those wrinkles to form.

Normalize or Tone

Use a PH skin normalizer also known as a toner. This step will make sure that your foundation and makeup stays on throughout the day and evening so that you do not need to reapply it. The Ph normalizer will help to even out the Ph level of your skin (around 5.5 - 5.7 Ph) so that your makeup stays on for longer periods of time and looks very smooth.

There are two ways to apply the Ph normalizer. Either spray the Ph normalizer directly on to your face or spray it on to a cotton ball and rub it lightly on to your skin. When spraying directly onto the face, spray it 3 or 4 times about a foot away from your face. Make sure to put her lips together and close your eyes before spraying your face.

Moisturize The next step in our skin care is our moisturizer.

Moisturize, Moisturize, Moisturize. This is a very important step to help prevent wrinkles from forming.

You want to make sure you use a good moisturizer that will help the foundation to go on the skin more evenly. This will also help to protect your skin against wind, sun and effects of aging.

Place a small amount of the moisturizer on your fingertip and apply it in the same way that you did your cleanser on the forehead, cheeks, chin and nose. Rub the moisturizer into your skin very, very lightly making sure not to pull or tug on your skin. Make sure that you have applied the moisturizer to every place on your face to make your foundation go on evenly all over.

Foundation You want to make sure to select a foundation that perfectly matches the color of your skin tone such as a custom blended foundation. There are many other foundations that you can use, but you want to make sure and select one that is the same color as your skin tone. If you want a little more color, you can add bronzer at the end of the makeover. Make sure to select a foundation that is exactly matched to the color of your skin whether it is a stick, powder or liquid so that it does not show a line.

Apply the foundation evenly all over the skin. The best way to apply foundation is with a good foundation brush. It will help you to apply the foundation evenly all over the skin. Hold the brush like you are holding a paint brush. Putting on foundation is just like painting a beautiful picture but using your face as the canvas. The foundation brush will make the foundation go on very evenly so apply your foundation a small amount at a time. Your foundation will last a lot longer because you use very little on your brush each time unlike a sponge. If you use your finger tips, you can introduce oil and bacteria into the foundation and onto your face. Using your finger tips can also affect the color of the foundation.

Apply the foundation starting at the forehead and working down. Just like painting a picture. Close your eyes and go very lightly across your eyelids. This will help your eyeshadow to stay on longer and will help to even out any discolorations that you might have on your eyelids. You may have darker areas across your eyelids and you want the eyeshadow to look even and smooth.

Then, go down to the cheek. Keep brushing downward and even out the color that you have put on. Next, apply foundation to the other side of your face. Start at the forehead working your way down. You will notice with the foundation brush, you will not have to have very much on your brush. It really goes a long way. Therefore, it will save on the amount of foundation that you use and will make your foundation last much longer. You want to make sure that you get everything covered really well. Make sure that you do not have any uneven places.

Face Powder Next, you are going to set your foundation with powder. If you are using a mineral powder, use a mineral powder brush. Use a brush that has a flat head on it. Place the flat head of the brush into the mineral powder and then tap the end of the handle to make the powder go down into the bristles. It does not take a lot of the powder and you want it to come out a small amount at a time.

Start at the forehead. You want to lightly stipple this onto your skin, then begin brushing at the forehead and work your way down to make sure that the powder is evenly spread over the foundation. This will help to set the foundation so that the color will last and be true all day long. This gives a very even look to the foundation.

Brows Next, you will be moving to the eyes. Place a small amount of color in your brows to even out the color of the brow. You may have brows that have thin or uneven spots. Use an eyeshadow powder in your brows to even them out.

Have you ever wondered where your eyebrows should begin and end?

This is where you will apply color to the brows.

Okay, here is a tip to know exactly where your brow should begin and end. To find the starting point for your eyebrows take a straight edge and hold it at the edge of your nose and inside corner of your eye. Where the straight edge meets the brow is where your brow should begin. On the outside edge hold the straight edge at the corner of your nose and at the outside corner of your eye. This is where you should stop applying the color to create a perfectly shaped eyebrow.

Here is another tip to know where the arch of your eyebrow should be. Hold the straight edge at the corner of your nose and then across the center of your iris. This is where the arch of the eyebrow should begin.

You will want to use a shade of color that is about one to two shades lighter than the color of your hair. Then fill in and shape to make a very natural looking eyebrow.

If you are applying the eyeshadow on someone else, you will want to disinfect the brush each time before you put it back into the powder.

You can disinfect your brush by using alcohol with a special disinfectant.

Make a backward check mark with the brush, starting at the inside corner of the brow and then going backwards in a slight arch. Then fill in the color across the eyebrow. This will give you a small amount of natural color.

After you have applied your color to your brows using eyeshadow as the color or by using an eyebrow pencil, use a brow brush to reshape the brow and to even the color out going in the direction that the brow grows.

Eyeshadows Use three different shades of eyeshadow colors.

First, you will use a lighter shade of eyeshadow color for your base. It will be applied from your eyelashes up to your brows. This helps to even out the tone of your eyelids and will make the rest of the colors go on very evenly.

The second shade of eyeshadow will be applied to your lower lid. You will apply it from the eyelashes to the crease of your eye, so that it will cover the whole lower eyelid.

The third shade will be the contour color, the darkest shade used that will be applied into the crease and to the corner of your eye.

Use an eyeshadow brush to apply the color all over your lid; this is the base shade.

Start at the center of your eye and work your way up and down applying from the eyelashes to the brow. Make sure the color is applied evenly so that the other colors go on evenly as well.

Make even strokes when applying the base shade. It is better to use longer strokes, as the colors will go on much more evenly than using short choppy strokes and it is gentler to your skin.

Next, apply the medium shade of color to the lower lids. Apply it from your lashes up to the crease in your eyelid. It goes from the center of the eye to the outside corner of the eye from the lashes up to the crease. Look for the natural crease; this is where you will stop applying the medium shade of your color.

The last portion of the eyeshadow is the contour color. It is the darkest shade that you will be using. Use an eye contour brush for the application. The contour brush is angled and has a point on the end. Place the point into the darker eyeshadow color and then apply it into the crease of your eyelids. Start in the center of the crease and work your way back and forth. Make sure to go back and forth several times blending in the crease as you go.

The secret to having a beautiful eye makeup application is the blending. Make sure to blend very, very well.

Start in the center and work your way to the inside corner of the eye two thirds of the way. Then fill in to the outside corner of the eye and along the bottom lashes about a third of the way in and continue blending.

Eyeliner Next, you will be applying your eyeliner.

Start on the top lid in the center of her eyelid. When applying eyeliner, you want to make sure to use short strokes and then connect them. When using an eyeliner pencil, make sure to sharpen it to a sharp point so that the line looks very fine. You can build on it as much as you want. If you want extra eyeliner, you can add that as you go.

Start in the center of her eyelid and make a short line. Then, go from the inside corner over to the center and then from the outside corner over to the center. You want to make sure you are using short strokes then connect them. You want to look up; ensuring that it is applied evenly all the way across.

If applying on someone else, get them to look up towards the ceiling when applying the eyeliner on the bottom eyelid.

Start from the outside edge and work your way to the in. If a person has very large eyes, they may want to go all the way across. This will close the eye up and make it look smaller.

Usually, you are only going to go about three quarters of the way across (going all the way across will close the eye up and make the eye look smaller). Go about three quarters of the way across from the outside corner and then soften the look of the eyeliner on the bottom. Use a pointed Q-tip to lightly smudge the color so that it looks very even and soft.

Mascara Next, you will be applying your mascara. When applying your mascara, make sure to take the mascara wand out of the container very slowly and work it out in a circular motion. Do not use a pumping motion. You will introduce air into the mascara and make it dry out very quickly.

If you get bacteria into the mascara, it could cause an eye infection. Be sure to replace your mascara every two to three months.

If applying mascara to someone else, get them to first look about three quarters of the way down when applying the mascara. Apply to the center of their lashes on the top and underneath their lashes. Then, get them to look straight ahead then to one side and then the other side. The changing of the direction of their eyes will allow you to get to the inside and outside lashes.

Start by applying the mascara as close to the base of the lash as you can and then wiggle your mascara wand back and forth to make sure to get in between the lashes. This will make them look fuller and thicker.

Let the mascara dry for a minute. Then go across the bottom lashes.

You can put mascara on the bottom lashes one or two ways; either by wiggling your mascara wand back and forth or you can hold your wand vertically while going across the bottom lashes. Make sure that you have all the lashes covered.

Blush There are several different ways to apply blush depending on the shape of their face.

For a very round face, apply the blush in a C-shape.

For a very long face, apply the blush horizontally.

If you apply the blush in a long straight downwards stroke, then it will make the face appear longer.

To shorten the face, apply the blush in a horizontal shape.

First, apply blush to the apples of the cheeks. Use a highlighting shade for the top of the cheek and then use a darker shade of blush just underneath in the hollow of the cheekbone. This will make your cheeks look like they are contoured.

Make sure that you are using a good cheek blush brush with a rounded head.

Tapping the powder down into the bristles of the brush will allow a small amount of blush to be applied at a time. This will eliminate the possibility of applying too much blush at one time.

To give an appearance of high cheekbones, use a lighter shade of blush on the upper cheek and a darker contour shade under the apples of the cheeks.

Lip liner Always apply lip liner before applying your lip color (lip gloss or lipstick).

This will help to hold your color in place and it also helps to give a nice shape to the lips.

Trimming your lip liner to a very sharp point will give your lips a very well defined look.

When applying the lip liner start in the center of the bottom lip, then go from the outside corner to the center of the bottom lip and then the other outside corner into the center.

On the top go from the outside corner up to the peak of your top lip and then from the other outside corner up to the peak. Next, apply to the peak in the center of the top lip.

Filling your lips in with lip liner will help to hold your lipstick or lip gloss on longer.

This will give your lips color if your lipstick or lip gloss starts to fade.

Lip Color Using a good lip brush will make your color go on very smoothly.

Using a lip brush apply the color directly to your lips.

Start in the center of the bottom lip and work your way out. If using lip stick, blot your lips and reapply.

Use a product that has shimmer in it. Apply it to the center of the bottom lip to give you that wet look that makes your lips pop!!

Bronzer The last step in your makeup application is to apply bronzer to give you that sun kissed look.

You always want your foundation to exactly match the color of your skin. If you want more color, then apply bronzer.

The way to apply the bronzer is to image that the sun is shining down on your face.

Lightly apply the bronzer to the top of your forehead, the top of your cheeks, on the end of your nose, on your chin and across the top of your shoulders. This will give you the beautiful sun kissed look that you desire.

Bronzer is best applied with a bronzer or kabuki brush. Lightly press the brush into the bronzer and then tap end of the handle so that the bronzer goes down into the bristles. Apply the bronzer by lightly brushing across the top of your forehead, a little on top of your cheeks, on the end of your nose, on your chin and then go lightly across the top of your shoulders.

Now you have completed your skincare and makeup application and have the look that everyone wants.

Professional Makeup Brushes - Natural Vs Synthetic Fibers and How to Choose the Best Cosmetic Brush

!±8± Professional Makeup Brushes - Natural Vs Synthetic Fibers and How to Choose the Best Cosmetic Brush

If you are looking to purchase some professional makeup brushes, you may be wonder which fiber is best. The answer to this question depends on both your personal preference and the intended use for the brush. The following is a description of the various types of hair used to create makeup brush sets. Understanding the various type of bristles can be helpful when trying to choose which brush will be right for you.

Goat Hair:

Goat hair is the most common fiber used for makeup brushes. The bristles are not quite as soft as squirrel and some of the other natural fibers, but they are good at holding large amounts of powder. Goat hair is a good choice for blush, bronzer and face powder brushes because you'll get an even application and the makeup won't get trapped in the brush.

Sable Hair:

Sable hair is soft and fine and makeup brushes made of this hair typically have pointy tips. The pointy shape and softness of sable hair makes it an ideal choice for eyeshadow and eyeliners. As with most natural fibers, the powder is easily transferred to your skin and doesn't get left behind on the makeup brush.

Pony Hair:

Pony hair is strong and durable. It tends to have a cylindrical shape where there is a consistent thickness from root to tip. The tips tend to be less pointy than brushes made from squirrel hair. Pony hair is a versatile fiber and is good for powder, blush and eyeshadow makeup brushes.

Camel Hair:

Camel hair is a generic term used to described makeup brushes that are made with a mix of squirrel, goat or pony hair.

Squirrel Hair:

Squirrel hair is the softest natural hair type. This softness typically makes squirrel hair brushes the most luxurious and also the most expensive brushes. Similar to sable hair, the brushes are wide in the middle and have a pointed tip, which makes them ideal as blending brushes and for use on eye creases.

Squirrel Mix/Squirrel Blend:

Makeup brushes made with a mix of squirrel and other natural fibers are a more affordable alternative to pure squirrel brushes.

Synthetic:

Synthetic makeup brushes are made of nylon, which is less absorbent than natural hair fibers. Because they are less absorbent, synthetic brushes are typically used for applying liquid-based products. Synthetic brushes typically do not last as long as natural fiber brushes.

Duo Fibre: Natural/Synthetic Mix

A mix of natural and synthetic fibers is typically referred to as duo fiber brushes. This mix of fibers increases the durability, stiffness and liquid handling ability of the makeup brush. One common type of duo fiber brush is a stippling brush, which is very popular with people who want an airbrushed quality application of their liquid foundation.

Make up kits are compact kits containing the latest and best make up products and accessories at affordable prices. They come in beautiful colors and shapes and look elegant on your dressing table. Most high quality make up products help you to maintain a fresh look throughout the day. Make up products are great for concealing birthmarks, varicose and spider veins, acne, age spots, freckles, dark eye circles, tattoos, bruises etc. In most make up kits, the make up brushes are color coded to the make up in the face disk. This helps you always to know which brush goes with which product. Various special offers are provided by most companies.

Make up kits are available for different categories of people. Thus you have student make up kits with color set powder, sponge applicators, stipple sponge, powder puff, flat brush, eyebrow pencil, and instructions. Dancers' make up kits are meant exclusively for dancers. These contain professional quality makeup, applicators along with an illustrated instruction booklet created by makeup artists. Then there are the theatrical make up kits meant for stage professionals.

Makeup Tips to Cover Your Tattoo!

!±8± Makeup Tips to Cover Your Tattoo!

Your big day or special event has arrived and for a variety of reasons, you have decided that you want to cover your tattoo. You have seen the tattoo cover-up kits sold online, but do they really work? What about airbrush makeup? What is the best method to cover a tattoo?

Questions to keep in mind when selecting the best method to cover your tattoo:

If someone hugs you, will they come in contact with the covered area? Will your clothing come in contact with the covered area?

Tattoo Lightener

If you have about seven to ten months and want to lighten your tattoo for the best cover-up, considering using a product like Tattoo Off. Tattoo Off is designed to lighten your tattoo by penetrating your skin and breaking down the ink over time.

Camouflage Cosmetics & Tattoo Cover-up Kits

There are a variety of corrective and camouflage cosmetics on the market (e.g. Tattoo Camo, Smart Cover, Dermablend, Cinema Secrets, Ben Nye to name a few) that are designed to be smudge-resistant, water-proof, and non-greasy. These types of camouflage cosmetics are designed to "cover", "conceal", and are often used to create special effects. Camouflage or corrective cosmetics usually have a creamy texture and may require the use of a setting powder depending upon the brand.

OK, let's be frank. It's make-up. Yes, there are some brands that I like better than others ( e.g. Tattoo Camo and Cinema Secrets), but bottom line, a cream is being used to cover an area on your skin. Depending upon the oiliness of your skin, perspiration, and humidity, the covered area may smudge or smear. Therefore, if your dress or someone will come in contact with the covered area, I strongly suggest airbrush make-up vs. the use of a camouflage cosmetic to cover your tattoo. If not, Tattoo Camo Tattoo Cover-up Kit or Cinema Secrets Ultimate Foundations are your best bet to ensure optimal coverage.

Color Matching

One of the biggest challenges I hear when selecting cosmetics to cover a tattoo is "how do you find the right color?" I suggest choosing two to three different shades that most closely match your skin tone (light, medium, dark). Use a blend of these shades to create your perfect match. Most of us have unevenness in our skin tone, so you will need a combination of these shades to create a tone that appears realistic. Cinema Secrets Ultimate Foundations probably offers the broadest range of shades, particularly for people who have a lot of yellow or olive in their skin tone.

Are cover-up creams easy to use?

The majority of cream camouflage products offer online video tutorials that will show you how to apply their product. Regardless of the product you choose, always remember to:

wax or shave the area to be covered; unless the product instructions tell you to, do not apply a moisturizer prior to make-up application; choose two to three shades that most closely match your skin tone (light, medium, dark); this will enable you to blend the shades to better match your skin tone; use a cosmetic wedge to apply the make-up in thin layers; use a stippling motion, not a stoking motion.

Application will take some practice so be sure to order your products months prior to your wedding; allow plenty of time to practice the technique.

Advantages of Airbrush Make-up to Cover a Tattoo

Airbrush foundations are traditionally high in coverage, but thin in texture. Because the makeup is dispensed in micro-fine layers with an airbrush versus a make-up brush or cosmetic sponge, the results appear more natural and sheer.

Typically, to achieve optimal tattoo coverage, an alcohol-based or silicone based airbrush make-up is used. My personal favorite airbrush make-up for covering tattoos is Temptu Pro Dura. Dura is widely used for body art, prosthetics, tattoo coloring, and special effects. Temptu Pro Dura combined with the use of their new pro palettes, and matte sealer is a winning combination! These products will ensure that your tattoo area is covered and can withstand hugging and touching! Airbrush make-up is typically best applied by a skilled make-up artist.
