Put on make-up like a pro – we’ll tell you how to achieve the perfect make-up: here you’ll find tips and tricks for foundation as well as blush and eye make-up. In addition, we tell you what you should definitely refrain from doing when putting on makeup.
Tips and tricks for foundation
Consider the following tips on foundation:
- Apply makeup (or foundation) with your fingers, this lasts long, covers better and the complexion remains matte.
- Finer and more natural makeup looks when applied with a moistened sponge.
- Always apply the make-up from top to bottom, that is, start at the forehead, then sweep out sideways with large-scale movements and end at the chin.
- To cover redness and pigmentation spots, it is best to use an opaque makeup or a compact makeup, in a solid creamy consistency.
- A green concealer applied under makeup neutralizes redness and spots.
- Large pores can be covered up better if you pat in the makeup instead of spreading it on.
- If the skin tone is too brown, you can rarely find the right makeup shade. Alternatively, you can also use a tinted day cream.
- Excess makeup applied with a cosmetic tissue take off.
What to avoid: you should use foundation rather sparingly, too much of it looks unnatural. However, too little should also not be used, otherwise the skin can look uneven and blotchy.
Tips and tricks for blush
When it comes to blush, you should follow these tips:
- For fair skin, lightly pigmented blush tones are recommended, on the other hand, for dark and tanned skin also strongly pigmented blush.
- It looks most natural if you powder over the blush again.
- The blush can be placed with a small brush most accurately.
- For full faces, a matte blush is recommended so that the face does not look even rounder.
- The color of the blush should be matched to that of the lipstick.
This should be avoided:
- Transitions do not spread with your fingers, always use a brush. The skin oil could make the makeup blotchy and you have to start over.
- Too strong tones are not appropriate for blush. Better to choose muted, classic, flattering tones.
- If tinted day cream is used, Cremerouge fits better than powder blush. Then do not apply powder, which smudges.
Tips and tricks for eye makeup
These tips and tricks you should take to heart in terms of eye makeup:
- It is best to apply the eye shadow with your finger, because there you usually have a better feel for the right amount, and the pressure makes the color last longer.
- Cream eyeshadow should be covered with powder after applying so that it lasts longer and looks more discreet.
- If you want to use several colors, you should always apply the darker colors first, so that the transitions become more fluid.
- If you apply kajal and also powder eye shadow over it, it is guaranteed to last all day.
- With white kajal can make small eyes big, they look more alert, more interested.
This should be avoided:
- Never mix two or more eye shadows, the color effect is usually dirty gray.
- Mascara always comes only at the end, so that no Eyeshadow dust can lay on the mascaraed eyelashes.
- If you have sensitive eyes or wear contact lenses, it is best to use creamy eyeshadow, so that no eyeshadow dust succeeds in the eyes.
