Look Natural With Make-up On.

A natural look even after make-up is desirable to every woman as compared to the plastic and sometimes cakey face we sometimes get from make up.To ensure a great natural look with make up on, follow the following tips :

Removing old make up :
Always clean and moisturize your skin before you go to bed : Remove all the make up  for the day by dabbing with a soft cloth wet with clean water or make up remover. After removing make up, rinse you face gently and dry by dabbing then moisturize with a natural moisturizer.
Picking foundation :
Foundation is the base of every make up. Choose foundation with a color that is most closest to your skin color so it blends completely with your color. Go for a wet foundation if you have a dry or mature skin. Cream- powder foundations re very good at covering up all the rough areas of your face. If you have relatively smooth skin with few imperfections, you can pick a fluid foundation which is light and quite translucent.See How to Prepare your skin for make-up.
Choosing the right concealer:
Go for a concealer that mutes imperfections without changing your natural skin tone. Yellow toned concealers are the best as they don't interfere with your kin color.
Keep make-up light :
Go as simple as you can with make up and if possible skip liner or shadow to avoid having too much bulk on your face.
Choose the right blush color :
Blush color should be as close to your skin color as possible to avoid making it too obvious that you have blushed your cheeks.
Keep your lips soft and glossy:
Apply lip pencil of your choice, and blend to make your lips appear softer and then coat with lip gloss. Lip gloss should be applied with a brush for a more glossy look.
Choose your brushes:
Always go for quality brushes with quality bristles for a better , smoother and more finished look after make up. the brushes should also be kept clean.

Tips For Applying Foundation On Your Face.

Foundation plays the role of making the rough parts of your skin look smooth and making your skin color more even. It provides a great base on which you can apply your make up to get that great and perfect finish on your face. This however does not give you permission to go applying any type of foundation you come across because they are different and so are meant for different people. If you are wondering how to choose or apply foundation, then here are some must note tips for you:

      Colour Of Foundation.

You should choose the colour of foundation that is closest to the colour of your skin and never try to change your skin colour using foundation. This makes you look natural even with your make up on and keeps you from having a monkey face .Since our skin colours may vary according to the weather, it’s advisable to have two colours that will serve you for both the cold and the hot season.

Most of us test the color of foundation at the back of our hands while others try it on our cheeks but did you know that both of them are unsuitable areas? The best place to test the color of foundation should be should be along the jaw line because it has a constant color.

      Applying Foundation.

You only need to apply foundation on the rough parts of your skin especially on your nose and cheek areas. For those who prefer to apply on the whole face, make sure not to stop at the chin or else you will look like you bought a mask to cover your face. Make sure to go under the chin so that you hide the line along which you stopped applying foundation and extend to your neck too if you are wearing a low cut top.

When applying, you should start at the center moving outwards. Brushes or fingers can be used depending on what you prefer. Fingers are said to warm foundation hence melting it. They also give you a natural feel and a more natural look as well if you are the type that are not good with brushes.

      Maintaining

People with oily faces find it hard to maintain their smooth look throughout the day as they keep wiping their faces especially during the hot season. If you have an oily face, always carry blotting tissues to blot out the oil instead of wiping it off which will also wipe away your foundation. If you are not applying any make up, spray mineral water spray on your face after applying foundation. The spray removes perspiration, harmful salts or chlorine and soothes and re-hydrates sunburned or wind chapped skin. It keeps you fresh by replenishing moisture and if you had applied make up it revives it.
