Putting on makeup is a part of every woman’s beauty routine. Although many women claim to be experts when it comes to applying makeup, professional makeup artists can prove you wrong.
Here are 11 tips from professional makeup artists that are worth your attention.
1. Foundation
To find the ideal foundation for you, test it on the line between your face and neck.
2. Choose bronzer carefully
Orange bronzers can leave spots on your face. Professional artists always use light brown shades with smooth texture.
3. Eyebrow shape
Eyebrows define the whole makeup, so choose a soft shape and do not overdraw or overfill them.
4. Make your eyes look bigger
Black eyeliner is like a double-edged sword. If you want to make your eyes look bigger, apply the black liner on your upper eyelid instead of your lower waterline.
5. Be careful with your eyeliner
That line is extremely important. Just follow this simple rule- follow the natural line of your eye and don’t take the line too far. Put on the liner while your eyes are open, not closed.
6. Use multiple shades for your eyes
Combine at least 2 different eye shadows when applying your makeup.
7. One layer of mascara is enough
A lot of mascara will only make your lashes stick together and you’ll end up looking like a mess.
8. Applying blush
Blush should give you a nice, fresh look and not a “Barbie with pink cheeks” look. Apply only a bit, using circular motions.
9. Your lip liner should match your lipstick
Drawing your lips with a different color lip pencil will ruin your overall look.
10. Hiding dark under eye circles
To successfully hide those dark circles under your eyes, apply the concealer in a triangular shape and not only under your eyes.
11. Do not use highlighter all over your face
No, your whole face shouldn’t be glowing. Apply highlighter just above the blush and on the inner corner of your eyes.
