Every woman should know how to do make-up the right way. Below, there are several practical hints concerning accomplishing this difficult task. What is more, we are going to present some basic rules connected with selecting the cosmetics according to a beauty type and manner of application.

General rules on how to choose an appropriate colour cosmetic.

We distinguish four types of beauty: Spring, Autumn, Summer and Winter. The first two beauty types are characterized by warm colours whereas the remaining ones with rather cool colours. While buying colour cosmetics, bear in mind the palette of colours that matches your beauty type. Another thing that is worth mentioning, do not hesitate to use the products yet apply them in the minimal amounts. Too thick layers of colour cosmetics may date you or create the mask-like effect. What is more, while doing make-up, try to follow the newest trends. For example, Autumn/Winter 2015/2016 season is dominated by thick, black eye lines, cobalt eye shadows and maroon lipsticks.

Cosmetics for face make-up.

Each women’s make-up bag should contain the following products: a foundation, a concealer, a powder, and a blusher. The first cosmetic has to be a tone or two brighter than your skin. What is more, the foundations’ aim is to make skin smooth, even its tone, prevent complexion from shining and (optionally) provide vitamins and other nourishing substances to the face. When it comes to the concealer, this cosmetic is designed to camouflage all skin imperfections like, for example, broken capillaries, acne, and dark circles under eyes. Chemist’s offer plenty of various concealers. These differ accordingly to the texture and shades. Reach for the one that will not only succeed in fighting against skin imperfections but also gifts you with nice-looking complexion. For the final touching up, most women use both a powder and a blusher. The first one should match your skin tone whereas the second one your natural blush that happens to decorate cheeks during cold winter days. Another thing worth pointing out, the powder’s task is to either highlight or matte skin whereas the blusher’s aim is to provide freshness to skin.

Eye make-up cosmetics.

Eye shadows, a mascara, an eye pencil, and an eyeliner are the cosmetics that are used for eye make-up. If you choose the colours appropriately, then you can make your eyes optically bigger, produce classic smoky eye effect or gift your face with an original look. Obviously, there are several techniques of applying eye shadows. Some women like covering crease of the eye with much darker shade than the one applied on eyelids. Others, in turn, like to obtain a kind of a colour transition between inner and outer corners of the eyes. What is more, (in most cases) black eye-line is a complement to the complete eye make-up. During the ongoing season, thick and sharply curved lines are the trendy ones (drawn also on lower eyelids). The same purpose is served by a mascara. All the lashes have to be separated precisely and coated with the mascara flawlessly. Do all you can to prevent your eyelashes from clumping together and becoming badly decorated with black mascara lumps.

How to do lip make-up?

Do not forget about lip make-up! You can choose among countless shades of lip-balms, lipsticks or lip-glosses. All make-up artists follow one simple yet important rule. If eye make-up is rather strong, then lips should be coated with light colour cosmetics, and the other way round, heavy lips’ colour has to be balanced with light eye make-up.
