So, here we go Makeup Tips Part 2 or ...
"How to apply eye make without looking like you've gone 3 rounds with Joe Frazier"

In other words, can not overdo it. Subtle is the word here!

shadow - There are rainbow colors now available, unlike when I was growing up, green and blue are almost all we could get (boring!) So, have fun and experiment, but keep in mind a few tips [. [/ P>

Keep bright colors for evening use.

Do not use frosted, glitter or metallic shadows if you have more than about 25! You will point out all the fine lines. There is a theory that the small glitter particles can pass through a fine membrane and eyelid home in the eye. (I do not know for sure if this is true, but it's enough to make your eyes water !)

Use a dark color to a psychiatrist and bright colors for emphasis.

blend blend blend blend! between colors. Use a brush or your fingers (gently it does not)

Use a lighter color on the inner edge of the eye to "open" and the darker color on the outer edge for a dramatic look.

It's best not to use more than 2 colors at a time (unless you're super smart) Make sure to use the same color tone. Hot colors include bronze, taupe and gold. Sheer color will look more natural.

* Special tip * - Do not use eye shadow that is the same color as the eyes. In contrast to bring our own eye color better. For example, if your eyes are blue or brown, use a taupe shade. Brown eyes look fabulous with most colors - brown except

.

Mascara - If you only do one thing then it would be mascara! This is the biggest influence of all the make up.

Start at the root of the lashes and move up. Be sure to include a tiny lashes at the inner corners.

Put an extra layer on the outer corners too. This will make your eyes look "bigger ".

Wipe the brush with tissue to remove any "blobs ".

Do not use a lash comb after that, instead, use a clean swab (old wash and use it)

If you are adding a second coat, do it before the first dries.

Mascara can "go away" soon. Replace every 4 months to avoid eye infections.

Do not overdo it. Too many will stick together and your lashes look unnatural.

to extend his eyes, eyelash curler is used - before applying mascara

.

If your eyelashes are very rare, try false lashes, it can look great when applied properly!

* Special tip * - If you have small eyes, do not use mascara on lower lashes. This can make your eyes appear smaller.

Eyebrows - Pluck just below the eyebrow to create a good shape. If your eyebrows tend to meet in the middle then you can break down here too, but be careful. beautician can wax this area for you first so you can keep yourself in the future.

If you have rare or light eyebrow pencil one shade darker than your eyebrows, but not darker than your hair color. Blonde best using a light brown pencil.

If your brows already look good, try adding some shine with a slick of Vaseline or sheer lip gloss.

Use a brush to blend pencil at all times.

* Special tip * - If your eyes are too close to each other, eyebrows start more towards the middle of the eye. Try this with a pen in the first place. Do not break down before you're sure you're comfortable with!

Lipstick - best thing I can tell you about the lipstick is to use a lip brush. Yes it takes a little longer to apply, but you'll get even application of color and stay within the lip line.

Make sure your lips are not dry or flaky, use Vaseline or moisturizer before applying the roses.

If your lips are too thin, draw a line just outside your normal lip line with a lip liner pencil (careful!)

If you want your lips be the focus of your face, use bright colors and use less makeup.

For a fixed color that does not come off for a cup of coffee (or his cheek!), dry lips and reapply. Blot again.

Use a gloss in comparison to lippie for impact!

Practice makes perfect when applying make up. If you do it often enough, you'll be able to apply make-up in the dark, without mirrors and with both hands tied behind his back (just a joke, but you know what I mean !)
