Makeup tricks women need to know

It is the desire of every woman to have a flawless makeup look especially if you have to attend a special event. So, if you are not achieving this look, then, the question is, what technique do you use when applying your makeup? Here are tips to ensure you are using everything from concealer down to bronze in the right way for a flawless look.

Powder

Always apply powder at your T-zone which is the shiniest part of the face. Then brush other areas lightly.

Lipstick

To ensure your lipstick is not too defined at the top of your lip and that it goes all the way out to the inner corners of your mouth, ensure to press down hard as you apply.

Blush

When applying blush, start on the apple of the cheek. Then blend the blush back towards the top of the ear, then down toward the jawline.

Concealer

You should not put concealer or foundation on your eyelids as a base because it will make your eye makeup to crease. Instead, use your fingers to apply foundation if you want sheer coverage and use a brush if you want a more polished, medium to full coverage.

Bronzer

Use bronzer on your neck, face and chest to even out your skin tone but ensure it is the same colour.

Eyebrow

To give your face the boost it deserves, always apply your brow pencil in the upper area of the eyebrow.

Mascara

You should jam the wand into the root of the lash and do zigzag motions as you go up.

Eye shadow

Always start with a base shadow without any glitter that matches the lightest skin tone on your face and apply all over your lid up to the brow. Also use this base shadow to ensure the darker shadows used on your lid up to the crease are correctly blended.

Eyeliner

To apply eyeliner, get as close as possible to a mirror, stick your head up and bring your chin toward the mirror. Starting at the inner corner, make sure to go all the way out to the fold on the outside of the eye as you look down as you apply the liner. With these few techniques, you are sure to have a flawless makeup look for your next outing with frequent practice.
