When we put our makeup on, we want our skin to be as healthy and flawless as possible so that our beauty can really shine. Of course, it is important to know some ultimate tips to follow and to avoid if we want the greatest results. Let’s check some of them.
Skin Do’s
Be sure that your skin is clean and oil-free before applying your makeup. If you leave it dirty and greasy, your makeup will not go on smoothly and your skin will seem dull.
Also, wash your sponges until you remove all traces of foundation. Bacteria may thrive on unwashed sponges, causing acne outbreaks. Let the sponges dry after each wash.
Skin Don’ts
Never go to bed with your makeup on. Foundation and concealer can cause pore clogging and spotty skin, so if you want to eliminate all traces of dirt and oil from the skin, you should wash, tone, and moisturize it before sleeping.
Don’t smile when you apply the brush to your cheekbones. This is because your cheeks enlarge when you smile, and when you stop smiling, your cheeks will naturally fall back into place, and the blush will be closer to your lips.
Foundation Do’s
Use your fingers to mix in a color-correcting concealer, since the heat from your skin helps the blending process. Be sure to use the best and highest-quality products, like the TIRTIR cushion, which gives the best coverage to conceal redness and other skin flaws.
Consider your decolletage while choosing a foundation shade and match it to your neck as well. If your neck and face have different skin tones, it’s best to match your foundation shades so that there isn’t an unsightly line where your foundation ends and your skin begins.
Foundation Don’ts
Do not apply too much foundation; doing so will make it seem unnatural. Use a small amount first and build up the coverage as you need it. This will help you get a flawless and natural look.
Avoid using a concealer that is two shades lighter than your skin tone for under-eye areas. You can enhance this region without drawing attention to itself by using a concealer half a shade or a shade lighter. Never use a white-ish appearance around the eyes.
Eyes Do’s
Keep the eyebrows’ natural contour and only tweeze them after showering because the steam opens the pores, and the hairs are easier to pluck out. Put a small amount of a lighter reflecting shade on your inner eyelid to make your eyes seem brighter.
After removing any leftover shadow, use a tiny, flat eyeshadow brush to press the product into the center of your eyelid. You can get a dramatic effect with this finishing touch, even after applying a heavy shade.
Apply eyelash primer before touching up your mascara. Just think about constantly battling with dried mascara every time you put a second coat over the one you’ve been wearing all day.
This all leads to a clumpy, flaky disaster. If you put a moist spoolie brush on your lashes before adding another layer of mascara, you can help avoid this problem.
Eyes Don’ts
Don’t use greasy concealer under your eyes. It will crease and look terrible after some time. Applying regular makeup remover to waterproof mascara will not do the job.
Only waterproof eye makeup remover can do the trick. You will injure your eyelashes from harsh handling if you use anything else, and you still won’t be able to remove the mascara.
You don’t need a deeper tint of brow filler. Choose a shade that is close to or somewhat lighter than your natural brow color.
To get a softer appearance, choose a lighter shade for the lower lash line compared to the upper one. For example, you can go with a dark brown for the top line and a light brown for the bottom line.
Lips Do’s
Use a lip brush when you apply lip gloss or lipstick. This allows for a more precise application and lessens the chance of microorganisms contaminating the gloss. To get the ideal neutral lip color, use a shade lighter or darker than your lip hue. Too much beige or matching can make certain complexion tones seem quite pale.
Applying concealer to their outer corners can make your lips seem fuller. To make them look poutier, you can do the same by lining the bottom lip with concealer or highlighter.
Lips Don’ts
If you have thin lips, avoid using darker lipsticks since they will make your lips seem thinner. Use vibrant, rich colors instead to draw attention to the lips.
Also, don’t go overboard with applying lip liner to make your lips seem more defined. If you draw your lips too thickly, it will look unnatural and will highlight your makeup instead of your natural beauty and attractiveness.
General Do’s
Use a magnifying mirror when applying or checking your makeup. You cannot see makeup that has settled into fine wrinkles or eyeshadow on your cheeks with your naked eye. Any mirror with a magnification of 4X will do the job perfectly.
Buy sets of eyeshadow, blush, and lipstick to make it easier to create various wonderful combinations. This can also help you save some money and give you new chances to create that amazing look you strive for.
Also, learn more about makeup to make sure you can treat your skin the best way possible. Think about seeing a makeup artist for a review, as they can give you advice on the most effective skincare routines and healthier ways to apply makeup.
General Don’ts
Don’t follow makeup tricks just because they are popular at the moment. Some of them will simply not work for you, and can even damage your skin. Also, avoid using expired products, as they can cause skin irritation, pimples, and infections.
Finally, do not forget to apply sun protection if you want to make your skin safe from harmful UV rays and delay the aging process.
If you want to achieve that perfect yet natural look, you need to make sure you follow all these tips. Doing certain things and avoiding harmful ones can help you draw out your inherent beauty and master the art of makeup.
