Make-up
As our skin needs to breathe properly
in summer, we can bring into play light makeup for regular use. Try to skip
foundation with a heavy base, if you want to apply foundation, matt will give
an excellent result in the daylight. With the non-oily base you may get a
natural, soft, sophisticated but gorgeous skin. Usually the t- zone of the face
gets oily; you can apply translucent powder on this. Or you can try mineral
make-up. Coordinated very light colored lipstick, eye-shadow, blush on, a thin
line of brown/dark-brown eye liner, may be mascara also, now it’s glowing
enough! But remember never forget to put on sunscreen while going outside
between 10am to 4 pm. Here is a sequence how to prepare for an evening party:-
Before applying make-up you may need:
- Your
clothing, matching sandal, purse, jewelers, etc. - You
may require concealer, foundation, loose or compact powder, blusher,
eye-shadow, mascara, eye liner, kohl, lipstick, lip gloss, eyelash curler,
pencil sharpener, facial tissues, etc. - For
preparing the skin, cleanser, toner & moisturizer. - Sponge
or different types of brush. - Water
spray bottle.
First of all, wash your hands with
anti-bacterial soap. Cleanse, after cleansing, you can use a face pack to
prepare your skin.
- If
normal skin, take one table spoon of honey, one egg yolk, one tea spoon of
olive. Use the pack and wash off after 15 minutes. - If
rough & dry, use mayonnaise & rinse off after 20 minutes. - If
oily, take a half of a ripe tomato and fuller’s earth (Multani Matti), mix
them well, and apply over skin. Rub until it dries, then wash off with
warm water. - Or if it is combination, smash a
half of a ripe banana with 2 table spoon of curd & one table spoon of
honey. Apply the pack; wash off after 15-20 minutes.
Cold compress your skin before
applying moisturizer and wait for 10-15 minutes before make-up. If you want to
drape saree, wear blouse and petty-coat before starting make-up. Sit in front
of a highly magnifying mirror with sufficient lighting. Your concealer should
be one or two lighter than the foundation. Use concealer beside the eyes, on
the eye lid & on dark areas with the fingers or make-up brush. Take the
foundation which goes with your skin tone & apply with fingers or sponge.
For powder application, take large,
wide & round brush. Spray water, dab with facial tissue and set the
foundation with sponge.
Art your eye-brow with triangle
shaped brush.
Choose eye shadow. For evening
parties, take two or three shades of colors of eye shadow. Using a fine,
blunt-ended brush, gently apply the base color to the entire lid from the
inside to the outside comer and from the base of the lashes to the eyelid
crease
If the eyes need extra definition, a deeper shade is
blended into the crease line. This gives depth to the eyes. The brow bone is
highlighted with a light shade. This gives the eyes a wide, open look., The
cooler is applied to the most prominent area and blended up towards the brow
and down to’ where the contour curves down, toward the eyelid creases Use a
cosmetic puff and a little pressed powder to tone down heavy shadow. Shake any
excess powder off the puff, and then press it gently on your lid. Blend
properly, so that it does not make any partition of colors.
To apply eye-liner, gently pull the
lid taut and with a steady elbow placed on the counter for balance, draw an
even line as close the lashes as possible. For the under eye area, reverse your
chin and tuck it as close to your neck as possible. Then look the eyes up and
place a lighter line along the outer edge of the eye rim as close to the lashes
as possible. Some may also desire to line the inner rims of the eyes. Open your
mouth when applying your liner to keep your eyes from blinking.
Use an eyelash curler Curling lashes
gives eyes the appearance of being wider and brighter. Shoot warm air from your
blow dryer on the mascara curler for 3-5 seconds to warm it up before curling
lashes. Touch it first to make sure it’s not too hot. It’s a myth that you have
to curl lashes before you apply mascara. You can curl lashes after mascara
application; just make sure the mascara is dry first. Wiggle the wand of the
mascara left to right at the base of lashes. It’s the mascara placed near the
roots — not the tips — that gives the illusion of length. Pull the wand up
and through lashes, wiggling as you go. The wiggling part is the key. Wiggling
separates lashes. In this final step, close the eye and place the mascara wand
on top of lashes at the base and pull through to remove any clumps.
