introduction of make up

Make-up is hugely versatile, not only in terms of colours and products, but also in terms of how it is worn. While some wear make-up to create a large and dramatic appearance, others will wear make-up more subtly. Make-up can be worn in a wide variety of situations, ranging from work, events, nights out, and even just round the house if you so desire. As a result of such diversity, the make-up industry is massive, meaning that everybody should be able to find products that they would want to wear and be seen sporting.

However, the way that make-up is applied varies very little between situations. Most make-up artists follow the same routine, designed to optimise the length of time that the make-up lasts when worn. This routine dictates that first, before you even apply a drop of make-up, you should ensure that your face is clean and washed. Make-up will survive better on a clean face, free from natural oils. Make sure too that your eyebrows are shaped how you want them to be, and are free from any stray hairs.

Next, focus on your skin. Apply liquid foundation, and then concealer. Next, apply loose powder to ensure that your skins is completely matt. Concealer can vary in when it is applied, and can be applied after the powder. Finally, you can apply blusher to your cheeks. Once your skin is looking perfect, you can move onto your eyes. First apply your chosen eye shadow, or eye shadows, and blend this if needs be. Once you eye shadow has been applied, move on to eye liner, be that liquid or pencil. If you want to use eyebrow pencil, this can follow the eye liner. To finish your eyes, use mascara to complete the look. Finally, you come to your lips. If you are using lipstick, first apply lip liner, and then apply the lipstick. Lipstick is usually that last make-up product that is applied due to its more delicate nature.

Of course, this routine will vary from person to person, and some may prefer not to stick to it at all. This routine is simple a suggestion
