Few Facts About Blushes (How To Apply & Why They Crumble)

Ok every one knows how to apply blushes and where to apply them but here are a few facts you might have missed out about blushers. The main aim is always to get the perfectly flawless finish. If you are not applying any pressed powder over your foundation then it is advised that you dont apply a powder blusher on top of the foundation. As the foundation has a creamy consistancy the powder blusher will stick to it and it will not blend well. And if you are not very good at blending then you might end up having patches on your cheeks. Always apply creams over creams. That means if you are not applying any pressed powder over your foundation then apply cream blusher which will easily blend out and give a very natural flushed and healthy look. If you dont own any cream blushes you dont need to worry as lipsticks can work really well as cream blushes. For best results try not to use very glossy lipsticks as they would be more emolient and have less colour concentration. Try out a few differ...

A beautiful glowing skin is an image of perfection. It shows that the skin is well nourished, healty and moisturized. But this can also be attained by using the right kind of makeup products. There are different kinds of foundations available in the market. Foundations with matte finish and also the ones which claim to give a dewy finish.

TIP OF THE DAY: EYEBROWS

Image
Eyebrows play an important role in how you look as they frame your face and we all know how important a frame is aroud a picture. Some people naturally have thin brows but some people are fortunate enough to be born with thicker bows. Thicker brows look more natural and they make you appear younger. Try not to over puck your brows, keep them as close to your natural shape as you can because that gives an appearence of youthfulness where as over plucked eyebrows or very thin and strongly defined eyebrows are usually associated with maturity. And I am sure all of us have noticed that all the walt disney villians have thin arched defined brows. So remember to keep them as natural and soft for the sweet innocent look.

Tone (Toner will remove any traces of cleanser left and balance the oils on the face) 3. Apply a serum 4. Moisturizer ( oil free if you have oily skin) 5. Face Primer 6. Eyeshadow Primer 7. Eyeshadows (do the eyes first so you can clean up fallout) 8. Color correctors ( peach/salmon under the eyes, green for reddness on the face etc) 9.
