Everyone
wants to look and feel attractive. Doing your makeup well and dressing nicely
can contribute greatly to your confidence. Many women take pride in their
ability to apply a natural looking layer of makeup that enhances their looks
and emphasises their natural beauty. But when makeup goes bad, boy can it
really go bad. Here are a few tips on making sure that you leave the house
looking naturally flawless without turning too many heads for all of the wrong
reasons.
Foundation
One
of the easiest mistakes to make when getting ready for a night out comes from
applying too much foundation. Not only does this make your skin look unnatural,
but it also has the effect of giving a matte finish to your skin. Another
foundation mistake is to apply the wrong skin tone foundation which has a
horrible effect on areas that haven’t been covered. This results in a nasty
line along the jaw line where the change in colour is very apparent.
For
a good application of foundation that will look more natural, remember never to
overdo it! Make sure that wherever you apply your makeup is well-lit which
enables you to clearly see any places you may have missed, or if you have
applied too much. For day-to-day makeup, you probably want to look natural, and
less like a mime. Applying foundation to your whole face and a little on the
neck will help the foundation colour fade into your natural skin tone, making
for a flawless finish every time.
Lipstick
Badly
applied lipstick is another example of a simple mistake that can ruin your
overall look. Making sure that your lipstick is applied in a natural way will
help emphasise your lips and make any mistakes less apparent. This includes
those mistakes where lipstick is applied on the skin surrounding the lips to
make them look fuller, when in fact the use of a second tone or lip liner is
needed.
Skin Tone
Choosing
a lipstick that reflects your natural skin tone is also a great way to boost
the look of your natural beauty and enhance your features in a non-obvious way.
Making sure that you also choose other makeup that reflects your skin tone will
also help you to achieve the complete look, whilst maintaining a level of cover
for any blemishes that you may have. A perfect skin tone match will hide any
blemishes and give your face a glow that appears natural, and not radioactive.
Given
the busy lives that women lead in the modern age, it is getting harder to find
the time to give yourself a full makeup makeover in the time you have spare.
But by choosing the right skin tone for your foundation, applying a simple lip
liner that reflects your natural tone and making sure that you choose
waterproof makeup when heading to the beach or the pool, you will be able to
achieve a flawless look without turning heads for all of the wrong reasons!
