SOME IMPORTANT MAKEUP RULES: 1. One always follows certain types of rules in life, same goes for makeup too. But what are makeup rules? There are no rules about what you choose to wear, but there are rules on how to apply makeup what to use etc. 2. Foundation and powder tone should correspond to your natural skin tone. Match your foundation to your neck. It’s not meant to make you look fair. Foundation of any kind is to even out your skin color so that you have a smooth surface to work on. 3. Moisten your skin before going to bed and before you apply makeup. Moistening is a pledge for skin beauty. Cosmetic falls on dewy skin in a better way, and moistening before going to bed helps smoothing skin out, keeps its elasticity and health. 4. Do not use mascara longer than for 3 months. During 3 months of usage mascara accumulates huge quantity of microbes. Even if you forget about microbes, mascara is probably dried up for this period. To avoid microbes coming into mascara, do not make “up-and-down” motions with a brush in a tube – although this way you “refresh” mascara, you also push microbes inside and you pump air into it getting it to dry up sooner. Instead of it, turn brush in a tube several times to scoop more mascara, and then take out brush. 5. Use eye-liner or pencil rationally. Too penciled eyes look unnatural. If you cannot draw a straight line with a firm hand, then probably you should reduce eye-liner usage to minimum and use only eye- pencil and eye shadow like I do most of the time. 6. Do not forget moistening lips constantly. There is nothing better, than a fruity kiss with tempting soft lips. In cold weather you should definitely use lip balm to prevent peeling and dryness. Moistening will also be useful while lipstick and lip-pencil usage. 7. Do not forget removing make-up before going to bed. We all know we should remove make-up before the night. If you ignore this procedure, the process of skin ageing is accelerated. Make-up only dries skin. Eye cosmetic weighs eyelids down, what leads to premature wrinkle appearance or you could also get a sty. 8. Do not choose shadows matching your cloth color, if it is not white, black, brown or grey. If your cloth is pink, green, red, dark-blue and orange, do not choose matching shadows. This looks grossly and unnatural. Such combination works only for neutral colors 9. Do not use blusher that is more than two tones darker your natural face color. Unless you’re performing in a circus! Do not go too far with bright blusher and apply it in the form of circle. The main rule – apply blusher two fingers distance from nose wings towards cheek-bones. 10. Shade, shade and again shade. You should look natural. Nothing should be sharp or edgy unless thats the kind of loud look you want. To shade shadows or blusher, use the correct brushes. 11. Makeup should only go on a freshly washed and moisturized face. 12. Whatever you’re doing, you have to see what you’re doing. Have bright, even light in front of your mirror. NOT TUBE LIGHTS! (As they change the real colors) instead use bulb light. 13. Always blend! You don’t want to see where the color begins or ends. Whether it is foundation, blush on or eye color, no hard, drawn lines. An exception to this would be eyeliner, but I prefer even that to be smudged! 14. Know your face. Hide the flaws and highlight your good features. So my Ladies...enjoy the grooming. Wax, thread, get pedicures and manicures every month! Pamper yourselves. It will make a huge difference to your life.
