Makeup and Cosmetics – Uncover Suitable Advice on Refreshing New Methods

When it comes to makeup, some would say “less is more” – especially some men.

However, this is misleading. While many men don’t like a woman to look as though she is wearing makeup, they very much appreciate the effects of subtle yet effective makeup, even though they don’t realise why their partner looks particularly good this evening.

You can continue to apply lots of makeup, but you have to ensure the makeup is mostly invisible.

Makeup is essentially just used to draw the observer’s eye to your eyes and your lips – these are the parts of your face they will be gazing at if they find you attractive. Things that take attention away from your eyes or your lips will reduce your apparent attractiveness.

For this reason, some women apply bold color to their lips and eyes. This is a mistake, and leads to the “clown effect” – not at all attractive. Subtlety is the key.

Rather than highlighting your lips and eyes, use makeup to reduce or remove the distractions.

Foundation becomes an important tool in your bag of tricks. Your foundation should exactly match your skin tone, so that there is no visible edge when it is applied.

Before you apply the foundation, use a good creamy concealer to hide any spots, redness, scars. or other blemishes. Tap your fingers gently around the edges of each concealer spot to blend them smoothly, then apply the foundation.

A good translucent powder (try Guerlain Powder) is the next step – dust the powder firmly into the foundation, so that it locks in place.

The eye foundation used should be of high quality and powder on your eyelids, too. Conceal those black bags!

Once you have applied your “undercoat”, you will find that your face looks pallid and uninteresting, but very uniform in color. Now it’s time to reach for your color palette, but again, with subtlety.

Some good choices are a blush that is on the brown side, a beige Chanel Allure Lipstick, and natural toned eye shadow. Brown mascara is better than black if you’re going for the “no makeup” look, and a brown eye liner applied lightly along the lash line, and blended well at the edges.

One way to hide imperfections is to use Laura Mercier Secret Camouflage. Once you have mastered the steps in this article, your look will please the most makeup-intolerant man, and you will be thrilled at how good you look “naturally”.
