All women want to look beautiful. Some say that beauty is not that important, but you have got to admit, being pretty in everyone’s eyes is still very flattering. The common thing that females use to enhance their beauty is make up. Make up is typically any cosmetic applied to a woman, or even a man’s face to change or improve the appearance. Make up is used by both sexes, especially those in theatre. Naturally, however, women are the ones who apply it on their faces everyday. If you want to enhance your face’s appearance, thus enhancing your beauty as well, you could use the following tips on applying cosmetics. This information of free makeup tips will be especially useful for girls just learning.

To begin, the basic things you will need are concealer, face powder, foundation, eye shadow, cheek blush, mascara, lipstick, lip shimmer, and the blush brush. These are the usual cosmetics women use everyday. Some of these supplies can be obtained from free samples of makeup that come in gift sets when you make a purchase. One line of cosmetics that I really enjoy is MAC makeup tips.

The first thing that you have to do is apply concealer in your face. You should choose a concealer with a shade lighter than that of your foundation. Using a sponge or just your bare fingertips, spread it all over your face to “conceal” eye bags, dark spots, blemishes, and pimples. If the concealer usually “cakes”, put on eye cream prior to the use of the concealer. Then, you can apply the dots of foundation in your face and spread it again until the face is entirely covered. For the concealer and foundation to last longer, apply pressed powder after.

Now that you are done with the face, you can now do your eye area. Using a brush, apply some eye shadow. There are also pencils, but these can sometimes give unnatural-looking results. Next, acquire some lighter and darker shades of eye shadow than the color use used earlier. The dark eye shadow should be used on the upper lid area while the medium shade and light shade are to be used for creases and under the eyebrow respectively. Use eyeliner to line the lower lid area of your lashes. The usual application is just two-thirds of the lower lid, but if you want a darker look, line all across the lower lid.

Next, use mascara to emphasize your upper and lower eyelashes. Brown mascara is better to use if you have fair complexion. Meanwhile, if your coloring is brown-black or black, use darker colors. You could also try experimenting with different colors of mascara.You should not use excessively bright colors, though, if you do not want to be laughed at. After the mascara application is finished, go back to your face. Apply your blush on the apple of your cheeks. It is advisable to smile when applying cheek blush.

Proceed with the finishing touches once you have completed doing the basics. Find a lipstick color that goes well with your skin tone and apply it on your lips. Get your lip liner and line it on the lips after you apply the lipstick and not before. This way, the lip liner also disappears as the lipstick wears off. Pale-colored lipstick combined with dark lip liner is a no-no.

And that is how basic make up is applied. You can choose to do your own style if you are already familiar at this. These are just the basics of cosmetic application meant as a guide for beginners.
