We all have those embarrassing marks on our face, old acne scars, or blemishes, dark spots, age spots and the like. And while we can work at getting rid of them in between we can work at covering them up until they are gone. Here are some tips for applying makeup to make it look as natural as possible.There's an art to applying makeup so that it looks natural and beautiful. Many women do not take the time to really apply their makeup properly and so the result sometimes can be somewhat astonishing, to put it mildly.
Surely at some point in time you must of come across one or two people who looked like they were off to some Halloween party in the middle of May or something like that because their makeup was painted on too thick. Too much makeup clogs the pores which can result in breakouts and other skin problems.
When it comes to makeup, the most important factor is choosing the right color that is suited to your complexion. Makeup is not supposed to hide the natural beauty of your skin tone but rather to complement it and give it that overall natural beautiful look while hiding any blemishes you might want to go overlooked. Your makeup and your skin tone should blend well together.
Choose a foundation that's right for your skin tone and also one that is closest to your skin type. You know the drill oily, dry, combination and sensitive skin. Foundations come in many formulas such as Liquids, Creams and Powder.
They all contain various ingredients so be sure and check the labels to ensure that you get the one that is the most suitable to your skin type. Before applying makeup to your face test a small patch on the inside of your elbow, wipe it off and monitor the area for twenty four hours. Afterward if there is no ill reaction then you're most likely not going to suffer from an allergic reaction to the brand.
Foundation should be applied to a fresh clean face. Apply a little bit of foundation on different areas of your face, and massage gently onto the skin using a damp sponge. You may also apply foundation to the skin while it is still damp just after you have finished washing it.
This ensures that the foundation is spread out evenly over the face. Don't forget to include the jaw line when applying foundation. Once you are satisfied that your foundation looks flawless and natural, covering all the marks on your face, you can proceed to the next step of applying your blush, lipstick and eye makeup.
At the end of the day, always be sure to remove all traces of your makeup from your skin. If you leave it on overnight then your makeup can begin to clog your pores and will do damage to your skin like cause breakouts or blemishes. Always use a mild cleanser designed for the face, never regular bar soap as this will dry out your skin and, you guessed it cause more skin problems.
