Before applying make up, your skin should be cleansed, toned and moisturised.

Concealer: Apply concealer to any areas that need covering such as, beneath the eyes, over blemishes, redness and pigmentation. If you apply make up over the eyelids the eye make up will last longer.

Foundation: It is best to choose a foundation that is as close to your skin type as possible. Using sponges may give a better result and leave your skin with an even coverage overall.

Face powder: Apply face powder all over your face with a powder brush. Avoid using excessive powder at once as your skin may become blotchy. Powder will stop your skin from looking shiny.

Blusher: Apply blush lightly to your cheek bones; it will enhance your cheeks, however, if you apply too much it can appear uneven and spoil the natural look.

Eye liner: Apply eye liner underneath your eyelid and, if necessary, on top. Eye pencils are popular or, using a thin brush, apply eye-shadow. Adding water will create a more liquid effect.

Eye shadow: Eye shadows are available in many different colours and textures and can be applied in many different ways to achieve a variety of effects. Powder eye shadows are most popular and are easy to apply and blend.

Mascara: Apply mascara to both top and bottom eye lashes; black mascara will give the best result. Avoid waterproof mascara if using on a daily basis as your lashes will become brittle.

Eye-brow make up: Apply eyebrow make up if necessary. Eye-brow pencils are great for fine eye brows; they give an excellent coverage and their colour stays on effectively. Alternatively, use a fine brush and lightly apply an eye shadow that closely matches the eyebrows.

Lip make up: Outline the lips with a suitable lip pencil; this should closely match your lipstick. Apply lip colour in the usual manner.

Make Up Tips For Being a Center of Attraction in Party Hall By Rayner Chandler

Are you planning of attending a party tonight, then there are certain points to be kept in mind to transform you into the center of attraction of the party:

Different shades of make up is required depending on the time and place of the party. Deeper and warmer colors are essential during evening under strong artificial lighting. Certain colors look great in natural light, but can be dull looking under artificial lighting.

If you have a slender face, create illusion of width by blushing your cheek little farther from the nose and by blending it up till the temples. Blushing and blending it across your face to soften your look by shadowing is a great make up trick if you have a square face and also this is useful if your jaw line is very heavy.

The foundation that you use should be of lighter shade as it can accentuate your cheek bones, especially if it is a evening party. Top portions of your cheekbones and nose corners should get this shade application.

Concentrating on eyes and lips, there too apply a very light shade of foundation so that it can accentuate and make them look brighter and shadowy, this gives a great effect on the overall beauty of the face under artificial lighting.

Cream blushers should be totally avoided and powder blushers only should be used if your skin is oily, powder blushers can give the right color shade without the unwanted shine that is found in cream blushers.

You might have seen many ladies having those messy face before the party comes to an end, this is the oil seeping in from the blushers. If you are an unfortunate one with this problem, there is a make up trick for this, apply a little baby powder on your face before applying foundation and also use a clean blusher blush, this should make you look fresh much longer.

Choose the lipstick based on your skin tone, shallow skin tones require medium shades of lipstick and warm beige and clear blue eye shadow can go very well with this skin tone.

Clear natural foundation can be excellent for skin complexion that is pale. For a perfect look apply brown eyeshades and soft blusher on chin, cheeks and forehead. Do not try to match your eye shadow color to suit other colors used by you either as nail polish or as lipstick, it is no more fashionable

You are ready to rock the party hall now!!!

Weddings: Lipstick Tips For The Big Day By Anne Mihelakos

You would think that lipstick has been around forever, but I was surprised to discover that it was only on everyone's lips after 1915 when American Maurice Levy invented the metal slide tube for lipstick. By 1946 women in America were spending $30 million a year on red lipstick and girls around the world were following suit.

Lipstick gives every woman the feeling of being just a little bit glamorous even if it is only for a moment. The question is, how to keep it on your lips rather than have it come off, particularly on your wedding day when you will be required to 'pucker up' many times throughout the day.

The most important thing to remember, is that painting your lips is like painting the walls of your home, it is all in the preparation. If you put lipstick straight onto your lips it will usually smudge away after an hour or two (quicker if you are sipping champagne!).

To prepare your lips, apply a little foundation or concealer, or invest in a good base specifically for lips, supplied by many of the cosmetic companies.

Next, define your lips with lip liner. Try and use a natural looking colour, as it can be used just as easy with a gloss by itself or with pinky brown lipsticks and even reds.

Then apply your lipstick - a lip brush can give you a more professional look but is not necessary. Blot your lips and apply another layer of lipstick.

There are some companies that make 'kiss proof' lipstick, so when looking for a lipstick for your wedding day, you might invest in a 'transfer resistant' one, if you can find the colour to suit. But at the end of the day remember, that no matter how careful you apply your 'lippy' it will probably stay on when you go for the big kiss, but wouldn't survive the full snog!!
