Top makeup tips to bring your face to life: PART II

Add a natural glow
For a natural glow, add a touch of color to the apples of your cheeks. Use either a sultry bronzer or an innocent blush, depending on the occasion and off course your mood. Again, less is more. Take a big brush, lightly dab it into the bronzing powder or blush, tap the brush on your wrist to lose the excess powder. Brush against the apples of your cheeks, taking care not to concentrate on one spot. Take a step back and assess your look. By this time your skin should look even with a hint of color.
For the next part, you need to know that it is best to only accentuate either your eyes or your lips – not both. If you go dark on your eyes, only apply a hint of gloss to your lips, if you go for full colour on your lips; go easy on your eyes.

Expertly form your eyes with eyeliner
For day wear don’t overdo it. Apply your eyeliner (brown for a smokier and softer look, black for making more of a statement) to your eyelids – carefully tracing your upper and lower lashes. Blend the harsh lines, especially on your lower lids with an ear bud if you don’t have an eyeliner blending bud. Blend more for smokier eyes.

Bring your eyes to life with eye shadow
Experiment with various colors. Remember, your eye shadow does not need to match your outfit; it needs to match your eyes. Go lighter for the day, darker for the evening. Apply a light stroke on your upper lid. Keep it simple if you are new to applying make-up.
