Continuing Makeup

I apologize for not updating yesterday, it got crazy.
However, I did find some interesting articles
that I want to share the links with you as they
pertain to health and the skin. But first let's
continue on how to apply your makeup. As with
everything there is a system to do it.

First of all you want to start out with your
concealer. The best thing to do is to start
with a small amount because you don't want it
to show through you foundation.
You want to use a shade slightly
lighter than your skintone.

Your foundation is what is used to even out
your skintone. It provides a smooth base
for the other makeup. Match the skintones
as closely as possible using the edge of the
jawline. To much can look unnatural, and do
not go pass the jaw line.
Your powder is what helps set your makeup
and reduces shine. You'll want to select
a slightly lighter shade than the foundation
and apply it across the forhead and down.
Eyeshawdow is what accents and defines the
the shape of our eyes. You should have a
base shadow and an accent shadow. When
applying do not pull on the skin around
your eyes as this is the most delicate
skin on the body and it will, over time,
cause wrinkles and fine lines.
You want to choose a light to medium color to
highlight and a medium to dark color to accent.
Step 1. Highlight: Apply lightest shade from
lash to brow. Then sweep the deeper shade on
the lid of your eye, then blend gently.
Blend the next deepest shade in the crease.
To define you eye glide on deepest shade with
a liner brush across the lash line toward outer
edge for a nice clean finish.
With that done, you want to pick an eye liner
that will enhance the shape of your eyes, to
make them look larger. Have some fun with your
liner and use different colors on different days.
You don't want to line the entire eye becuase
this can make them look smaller.
Your blush is what gives color and glow to the
face. Apply this by starting at the center
of the cheek and work up toward the hairline
above the ear.
Your mascara makes the lashes appear longer,
thicker and darker. It also makes the eyes
look wider and more open. Select your mascara
based on benefits and features. The one thing
you want to remember is never pump your
mascara wand in the tube as this pushes air
into to the tube and causes it to dry out.
It also traps bacteria inside, that is why
you should get a new mascara every three months.
Your lip liner helps with defining your lips and
helps to prevent feathering and bleeding into
the small lines around your lips. If you are
like me and have some problems drawing a
straight line, what I do is go ahead and fill
in my lips wityh the liner then put on my
lipstick. Not only do I get a perfect line
every tine, but I also seal my lipstick
better so I don't have to reapply as much.

I know this was long winded, but putting
on makeup and playing dress up was my
favorite thing to do as a chld and
even though we might know what to do,
pass this along to your daughters,
nieces ect.
HAVE FUN AND HAVE A GREAT DAY.
