How to Apply Blush

Give your complexion a bloom of colour with this indispensable beauty aid – blush. Apply foundation, eye color and lipstick and then apply blusher as Blush should be your last makeup step. Nothing brings a dull, drowsy face to life faster than a quick sweep of blush. “You put blush on, and you look instantly prettier, fresher and less tired,” says makeup guru Bobbi Brown. Decide the color of blush you want to apply on your cheeks. Read useful advice from makeup professional on how to apply blusher.

How to Apply Blush

First choose the color that resembles the natural glow of your cheeks after you exercise.

Determine your face shape: are you oval, heart, round, long or square? Knowing this helps you determine where it’s best to apply the blush.

Complete the application of foundation, powder and all eye makeup before applying blush.

Put the blush on your brush, tapping off any excess or put a dab of gel on your fingers.

Look in the mirror and smile

Sweep color in an arc following the line of your cheekbone up from the apple of your cheek to your hairline. Keep color light & blended.

Blend a little blush down your cheek for a little more natural, less dramatic look.

Tips for applying blusher

For a sun-kissed sheen: dab a small bit of bronzer powder on your forehead, chin & nose. Make sure it doesn’t look like a stripe.

Make sure to blend makeup into your jawline and hairline so it looks more natural. Also try using a brush instead of those square sponge things or your face will look to cakey.

• never mix blusher powder with other makeup creams
• a color that is close to or lighter than your lipstick will work best
• use apricot shades on pale skin and dusty roses on darker skin
• if your skin is oily, a powder brush will last longer
• always dip the brush quickly and flick your wrist to stroke the cheek lightly
• never apply blusher on the nose for corrective purposes
• never apply too much blusher otherwise your face will look as a mask
• dab a little shimmery blush on the highest point of your cheekbone nearest your eye to create a more distinct look

Powder Blush

This should be applied over the top of your foundation and face powder. To apply powder blusher, dust over the compact with a large soft brush. If you have taken too much onto your brush, tap the handle on the back of your hand to remove the excess. It is better to waste a little than applying too much!

Cream Blusher

Cream blusher is applied with your fingertips, after foundation, but before face powder. To apply, dab a few dots over your cheeks, from the plump part up towards your cheekbone. Using your fingertips, blend well. Build up the effect gradually, adding more blusher to create just the look you want.

Colour Choice for Blusher

There is always a kaleidoscope of blusher shades to choose from. However, as a general rule, it is best to opt for a shade that tones well with your skin colouring and co-ordinates with the rest of your skin colouring and makeup.

Learn How to Apply Makeup

When you learn how to apply makeup with basic steps, you can easily advance to experimenting with different looks.

Face First: Applying Foundation

There are many different types of foundation, so it’s important to choose for both your skin tone and type.

Tinted Moisturizer

For teens and those with fairly even skin tones, tinted moisturizer is a good option, providing light coverage and essential moisture at the same time. To apply, squeeze a small amount of product onto fingertips and smooth from the center of the face outward until it is blended into the hair and jaw line.

Liquid Foundation

Liquid foundation is one of the most popular types of face makeup. It offers great coverage for minor flaws and evens out the skin. You can apply with clean fingertips or a cosmetic wedge or round. Fingertip application provides more coverage, while applying with a cosmetic wedge will give a more sheer foundation. Don’t spread the makeup all over your face; instead, start by dotting the foundation on your forehead, nose, cheeks and skin. Then blend gently outward until evenly applied.

Other Foundation

Other types of foundation include crème, cream to powder, and mineral makeup. Crème and cream to powder foundations should be applied using a round or wedge, and mineral makeup is applied with a brush in a circular motion. With any foundation, however, the same principle applies — start in the center of the face and blend outward to avoid a harsh makeup line at the jaw or hairline.

Coverup and Concealer

Conceal flaws for natural-looking beauty!

Opinions differ as whether to apply concealer and cover-up before or after foundation. You may want to try both methods to see what works best for you. Concealers come in stick, wand, and tube forms. For concealing pimples or other blemishes or flaws, gently dab a tiny amount of concealer onto the blemish and let dry. To use under eye coverup or concealer, gently dab a small amount under the eye and carefully smooth inward with your ring finger to avoid stress to the delicate eye tissue.

Blush

Blush comes in powders, creams, and gels. Apply gel or crème blush with your fingertips or cosmetic sponge, and apply powder with a medium sized blush brush. For powder blush, it’s best to avoid the tiny brushes that come with many department store blush compact – these can give a streaky blush line.

For any type of blush, first look into the mirror and smile naturally. Apply blush to the round part (commonly referred to as the ‘apple’ if your cheek) and then upward at an angle to define the cheekbone.

Powder Perfect

Learning to apply face powder is one of the easiest makeup steps. Loose powder should be applied after liquid foundations and blush to set the makeup. Dip a large makeup brush into loose powder; gently tap the side of the container to tap off the excess, and gently dust all over the face.

Pressed powder can be applied after foundation, or alone to set makeup or reduce shine. Most come in compact form and a pressed powder puff. Just press the powder gently and smooth onto the face.

Learn How to Apply Makeup for Beautiful Eyes

When learning to apply makeup to the eyes, keep a light touch. A simple sweep of eye shadow and mascara can set off the eyes beautifully without a lot of fuss.

Shadow and Liner

For a basic, clean look, start with this simple look:

• Apply a light colored eye shadow to the lid and near the brow bone .
• Apply a slightly darker shadow at outer crease of the eye, and gently blend outward.
• Using a medium shade of eyeliner, line along the upper lash line.

Eye shadow comes in powders, creams, and other forms. Apply using an eye shadow brush or a sponge applicator for the best control. Eyeliner come primarily in pencil and liquid forms, and can be applied directly and smudged if desired using a fingertip or sponge applicator.

Learn to Apply Mascara

Mascara really finishes off the eyes, and can even look tremendous without any additional eye makeup as well. To start, curl you lashes with an eyelash curler by gently holding pushing the curler together at the base of the lashes. Hold for a few seconds, then carefully ‘walk’ the curler up the top lashes and repeat.

To apply mascara, hold the mascara wand vertically and move upwards from the base of the top lashes. Let dry, comb through lashes with and eyelash comb, and then apply a second coat if needed. For lower lashes, hold the wand vertically and move across the lashes to give greater definition.

Learning to Apply Lipstick and Liner

Experiment with different Lipstick Shades!

Lips can be finished off with a simple sweep of gloss, but for lasting color, line your moisturized lips along the natural lip line. Fill in with a coordinating color of lipstick, starting with the top lip and moving downward, then across the bottom lip. For a fuller lip look, apply a dab of light-colored lip gloss in the center of the bottom lip and blend into the lip color. Although tube lipsticks are quick and easy, using a lipstick brush offers you greater control and coverage options. To use a lipstick brush, place a small amount of color on the rush and apply in small motions for the coverage you want.

5 Simple Tips to Control Excessive Underarm Sweating

Sweating is a very important phenomenon of our body as it is like as a sign to show that the cooling system of our body is working properly. But, unfortunately, sometimes this system will be out of control when it secretes sweat more than expected amount in certain areas of our body such as our palms, underarms, or head. Scientifically, we call this excessive sweating problem as Hyper hydrolysis.

Below are 5 simple steps to control Sweating

1. Using Natural Fibers – people who are suffering from excessive underarm sweating problem are highly recommended to wear clothes made of natural fibers such as cotton, wool, or linen. This is because natural fibers provide better air flow in the underarm and are better for the evaporation of sweat. Thus, it can help to control the sweating in the underarm and further reduce the body odor produced.

2. Shaving the underarm – sweat which dry on the hairs in the underarm will produce body odor which is considered as the most irritating symptoms of excessive underarm sweating. Hence, people with this sweating problem should shave their underarm frequently as this can reduce the body odor caused.

3. Showering – the excessive sweating sufferers are recommended to bathe frequently for hygienic reason. They can use anti bacterial soap to clean their bodies as the soap can reduce the bacteria in their underarms after heavy sweating. The cloths used to dry their bodies should always be changed for hygienic reason as well.

4. Drinking Sufficient Water – do not feel weird when excessive underarm sweating sufferers are recommended to consume more water. It is true that drinking sufficient water can help to alleviate the sweating problem. Consuming sufficient water will help to maintain the toxin levels of our bodies at a much lower level. The sweat secreted will contain less toxins and this can reduce the bacteria gathered and further reduce our body odor.

5. Relax – people with excessive underarm sweating are encouraged to always control their emotion. Simple and short meditation is recommended. Whenever you feel anxious, try to find a quiet place and close your eyes for a short meditation. Imagine some pictures or situations that can bring you the feeling of calmness. This can help you to tackle your feeling of anxiety and further reduce the sweating problem.

Mostly oily skin is tend to get more of black heads because of excess of sebum and open pores which forms the into bleach heads. The tip of the skin becomes black so it is called blackhead.

Maximum oil comes on the T-Zone of the skin so we usually get black heads on the nose and chin. One who strongly faces the open pores problem get them filled with dirt if not cleaned regularly so they get blackheads even on their back, which look extremely ugly. In medical language a very small black lump clogs the pores of the skin by blocking the skin cells with oil.

Black heads look ugly on the skin and if they set deep in the skin it becomes very difficult to remove them. They look like as if dirt is filled into the pores of the skin but they are much deeper. Squeezing is not the right way to remove the black heads it can make them worse and can give you infection and scars. The problem is not just external you need to keep the skin toxins free by drinking lots of water to prevent the skin from getting black heads and cutting away your tea or coffee intake.

Certain things will definitely help you in getting rid of blackheads:

• Always apply an astringent on your skin, which will reduce the oiliness from the skin.
• Use a good toner to reduce the size of open pores and to tighten the skin.
• Be sure to use mild facial scrubbers, which are very useful in removing the black heads from the skin because the massage done by scrubbers removes the blackheads from the pores with the help of its roughness. Scrubbers can be used on the back also to remove the black heads from it.

Tips for controlling oily skin

A person with oily skin tends to have enlarged pores and a shine on the surface of his or her skin, especially in the “T-zone” (the forehead, nose, and chin). He or she might also be prone to blemishes in the oily areas. However, a good skin care regimen and the right cosmetics can improve the surface and appearance of oily skin.

Daily cleansing is vital to a skin care regimen. It is important to wash away any pore-clogging oils, makeup, dirt, and residue every morning and evening. However, resist the urge to clean your face more than twice per day, even if your skin is very oily. Too frequent cleansing and harsh scrubbing strips the face of essential oils.

For daily cleansing, use a face wash that is geared towards oily skin. Avoid simply washing with soap and water—soap is very harsh and drying to the skin. However, there is no need to purchase the most expensive face cleanser on the market. Read the labels of expensive cleansers that you like to find the active ingredients; then, look around for a generic or less expensive cleanser with the same ingredients.

Next, follow your morning cleansing with a toner. Toners remove any residue still left on the skin and temporarily tighten the pores, making them less susceptible to clogs and also making them appear smaller.

The final step in the daily skin care regimen for oily skin is to moisturize. The excessive oil that people with oily skin produce is not a moisturizer. The skin cells need water to look smooth and vibrant, and the primary ingredient in most moisturizers is that necessary water. However, it is important that people with oily skin not add more oil to the skin. Oil-free moisturizers and products made for oily skin will add the “good” moisture without clogging the pores.

Note:

Wearing sunscreen daily is one of the best ways to care for your skin. However, people with oily skin are often reluctant to add yet another layer of cream to the face (and with good reason). If you are concerned about using too many different products on your face, then look for a moisturizer that contains sunscreen.

Besides daily cleansing, one can exfoliate with a gentle scrub as necessary to remove dead surface skin cells. Daily exfoliating is generally not advised for oily skin because rough scrubbing can stimulate the oil glands; several times per week is usually sufficient. A deep cleansing mask used approximately once per week can help to control oil beneath the surface of the skin.

Finally, only a good skin care regimen will actually improve oily skin, but the following tips will help control the appearance of oil and shine:

-Use oil-free cosmetics and products made for oily skin.

-Avoid using products on the face that add shine, like bronzers and shimmery blushes.

-After applying makeup, brush the entire T-zone with a loose, translucent powder.

-Throughout the day, use blotting papers as needed to absorb excess oil on the face.

-Avoid reapplying powder throughout the day. A build-up of powder and makeup can contribute to clogged pores and blemishes.
