Most women I see during the day time apply no concealer or foundation. Kohl , eye liner & lipstick seem to be the most favourite. My question is ... Why do we only have to look our best when we go for work or for a party?
Most women assume it takes a lot of make-up to look good - well its not so. Just a few dots of concealer under eyes, a drop of foundation mixed with your regular moisturiser, patted over your face & neck, can do the trick. Do not forget to apply a dot of your foundation, in dabbing motion, over the concealer. Apply loose powder on top, to set it in place.
If you sweat a lot or have extremely oily skin you could just dab some concealor on & use some translucent powder or compact powder with a huge powder brush, in circular motions all over your face, neck & eye lids too.
People with clear good skin can use a tinted moisturiser with a bit of concealer.
TIP: How to choose the shade of your concealer & its application?
* Your concealer should just be about a shade lighter than your skin tone. Don't make it too light otherwise it will be a task for you to blend it in.
*The trick to getting the concealer application right is - DABBING. Apply a few dots of concealer extending from the inner corner of the eyes to the outer corner & blend with with the tip of your ring finger using the 'dab' technique. If you rub , you won't get the desired coverage.
TIP: What concealer to apply if one has problematic under eyes?
* If you have black /blue dark circles apply an orange concealer.
*If you have severe eye bags do not use a thick creamy concealer, use a liquid one instead & use as minimum as possible.The more you use, the more your lines will show.
*If your eye lids are dark as well, apply a dot of concealer there as well. Make sure its not a lot or you will see a lot of crease lines all over your eye lids.
TIP : How to choose your foundation?
* Choose three shades of foundation that are the closest to your skin shade.
* Apply all three in small patches over your face.
* The one that shows the least - is your Shade.
Choosing a colour way lighter than your skin tone is only going to make you look like a clown. Your skin will start looking grey after sometime. Also when you apply your foundation , no matter how little it is, do not forget to blend it into your hair line & a bit on your ears as well.
Hope these tips help you look more gorgeous than you already are....Cheers!
