Get a foundation that is YOUR skin color. Make sure you try to get it as close as possible. Some people want to look tanner or lighter and go for a different shade, and they get that awful jaw line. It's best to get exactly your shade, don't go around that.
Get a concealer which is also your skin color. However, where you want to use it depends. If you want to use concealer under your eyes to hide dark circles, get a shade that is just a smidge lighter (it highlights your eyes ever so slightly). When it comes to covering up problem spots, closest to your skin is best.
Most people say the process is concealer THEN foundation. However, experts say that this can rub off the concealer and show your flaws later in the day. Do foundation first and then concealer after.
When applying foundation, I personally like to use my fingers. A sponge soaks up the make up too quickly, and it is a waste. Just make sure your hands are clean, and work with small amounts of foundation at a time.
DON'T put on so much, you wear a mask. Make sure you can still see your skin underneath; the foundation is just used to smooth out and even your skintone.
After foundation and conealer comes powder. I like a shade that's just a tiny bit lighter. It sort of gives you a ';glow'; look. But getting a powder exactly your skin color won't hurt at all. It's just ranging too dark where it looks fake.
Rouge or bronzer comes next. Rouge is always good; do it on the cheekbones that go up towards your hairline. (Press your fingers to your cheeks - you'll feel where the bones are.)
Bronzers are good.....but most people don't know how to apply them properly. If you want to do a bronzer, DON'T over-do it. It looks very fake and cheap. Just a hint on you cheeks, chin, nose, and forehead work. But do it so it gives a tanned effect, but it's not noticable (if that makes sense...)
When it comes to eyes, this is the order I do it in: eyeshadow, eyeliner, mascara. Choose an eyeshadow which compliments your eye color for an everyday wear (the Almay eye color accent products are my favorite. They have them for blue, green, hazel, and brown eyes. They match perfectly).
When it comes to dressy looks, go a little crazy and have fun with it. But subtle colors are always best. Never be afraid to add just a little, tiny shimmer though. :]
Eyeliner is usually best when in a stick form. Liquid eyeliner is too intense, the powder form is bad for beginners. I like the self-sharpening eyeliner sticks from Covergirl. They even throw on a little sponge eraser on the other side to help mistakes. Remember: when applying eyeliner, the more ';bunched'; it is at the outter corner of your eyes, the smaller your eyes look. For some people this is an advantage, for others, not. Black is a good color for everyone, just use it sparingly. Huge, gigantic lines of eyeliner on your top lid is rediculous looking, and not flattering. Get a thin line on your top and bottom lid as CLOSE to the lash line as possible.
Mascara is a funny one. I see girls who just load up on the mascara so much, I'm amazed they can even hold their eyes open. The point of mascara is to make your lashes fuller and longer; don't make it look like stage make up. Clumping is noticable and bad, so find mascaras with the new ';revolutionary'; bristles. They work well and it's hard to clump together. Some brands don't apply thoroughly, though, so it's just a matter of experimenting.
Remember: make up is supposed to look NATURAL. You don't want to buy things which make it highly obvious to others. You want people to see the good effects of the make-up, you don't want them to point out things (this being especially true of eye makeup. Really, DON'T go crazy. I know it's fun, but girls just go off the deep end and it ends up looking terrible). Think of make up like a ';disappearing act';. You want to hide all the little flaws, you don't want to make new ones.
Good luck :]How to apply make up basics %26gt;_%26gt;?
I think you shold start by putting on a base of foundation. It will even your skin tone, and you might find it covers up the areas you feel need a little help. There's lots of different kinds of foundation out there, but my suggestions are a pigmented cream for extra coverage or mineral/powder foundation for a natural look. If you find you still need extra coverage, go over your problem areas with a concealer. I like taking a small brush (you don't have to spend much, I use a little water color paint brush) to dab concealer (which matches my foundation) right over the dark spot or blemish, then I carefully blend the outer edges until it looks like the rest of my skin. The reason i put concealer on after foundation is that when I used to do it the other way round, the foundation always smeared the concealer. Finally, powder everything to set your make up! hope that helps.
Well, if you have some conceler , that would probably help. If you just put a dab of it on the spot, then rub it in in a circular type motion ( cuz it blends in better) i'm pretty sure that would help. Just make sure the color isn't too different from your natural skin color.
Use a bit of bronzer to even your tone out and make them look nice. Just sweep it on with a big brush. One from MAC or Bobbi Brown.
