If you want to glam up your look, cosmetics are the way to go. You! takes a look at a new cosmetic brand in town...
The first thing a person usually notices is a woman’s face. If it has been enhanced with skillfully applied makeup, a woman often feels ready for the world and confident in proceeding through the day. This does not mean that she couldn’t be confident without the makeup; it simply serves as a booster to her natural self-confidence.
Makeup is one area where women can really set themselves apart from men. It’s generally a very girly arena where boys aren’t allowed. With all of the different colours, textures and tools involved, playing around with makeup can simply be seen as a fun thing to do. If you mess up, all you have to do is wash it off and start over.
If you want to glam up your look, for a big night out or a special occasion, makeup will help you do that. You can choose whichever look you like best. One day may include smoky gray eyes and pale, shimmery lipstick, while the next might find you in the mood for thin black eyeliner and classic red lips. So, a woman appears most beautiful when she is confident in her own skin and uses cosmetics as an enhancement or expression of her own style.
Use your cosmetics and makeup judiciously:
We all have piles and piles of makeup and cosmetics, more than we actually need, but how do you know what’s worth keeping, what products you should be using, and what you may be using incorrectly? It seems like every day, there’s a new beauty or skincare product on the market. But, while you’d love to try them all, where do they fit into your current regimen? If you get a new serum, does it replace your current moisturizer? Should you be using concealer as well as foundation? There are so many products available, it can be overwhelming. But applying the correct products in the correct way can go a long way in helping you looking your absolute best. Check out some of the best tips that we have lovingly compiled for you!
Your skin type should determine what kind of foundation you choose. If you have dry skin, Use powder or matte products on oily skin. Powder and liquid foundations work well on combination skin. When selecting a shade of foundation, pick one that matches your neck and arms rather than your face.
For a contoured, subtle look, apply a matte formula that will give you a glow. Select a shimmer bronzer if you want to highlight certain features.
Blush makes your complexion look radiant and alive. It’s not hard to put on; the secret is to not overdo it. No matter what you see on Instagram pictures of your friends, do not go old school and brush blush all the way up your cheekbone, using it as a contour device. Apply powder blush only to the apple of the cheek so it looks like a flush.
For eyeshades choose matte formulas to give your skin a smoother and prettier look.
Natural tones such as brown and taupe universally flatter whereas gray and muted purples - including mauve and plum - also create a classic look.
Liner can increase the volume of your lashes by tenfold. Avoid the cat-eye look and other high-graphic looks for everyday. Line your upper lash line by aiming for the roots of your lashes. Apply it and then smudge it with a brush to blur the line.
Lip colour is a great way to express yourself so be adventurous with it. The ideal lip tint will enhance the natural shade of your pucker. Selecting a sheer tone will minimize the chances of a mismatch because your natural colour will shine through. For a high-shine look, add a dab of gloss or petroleum jelly over the colour.
Remember that your cosmetics do have an expiration date, so keep this in mind when shopping for new makeup. With each season, carefully look through your make up kit and discard any items that are outdated. This is critical, especially with eye makeup that can expire and potentially cause painful infections. Also, remember not to share your make up with anyone else to prevent spread of germs and infection.
