Natural-looking everyday makeup can be easy to achieve. You simply have to invest in the right makeup items and learn how to use them properly.
Brushes, for instance, come in different styles for specific purposes. There are foundation brushes, crease brushes, blending brushes, and more. It can be daunting to choose which brush to use and how to properly hold and use each one to achieve the best look, but once you learn how things should be done, it will all be worth it when you see the gorgeous results.
And this is where makeup courses come in handy.
Beauty and makeup courses will teach you a lot of important lessons – from choosing the right makeup products to proper makeup application. Depending on your skin tone, you will also learn how to apply the right products using the right techniques.
With proper makeup application skills, a keen sense of style, and a positive attitude that exudes confidence, any Indian woman can proudly step out into the world and face any challenge head-on.
For Indian women, here are five excellent makeup tips that can help achieve the best look every day.
1. Highlight your natural complexionA good foundation serves as a solid base for any makeup routine. When looking for the right foundation, you’ll want to avoid choosing one that is lighter or darker than your skin tone because this will make you look blotchy and odd.
Keep in mind as well that the color that works best on your friend’s skin does not necessarily mean it will also work great on yours. You need to opt for a shade that will match your specific complexion and skin type.
If you have oily skin, for instance, choose a matte foundation. On the other hand, if you have a dry or normal skin type, go for a dewy foundation. Before buying foundation, try every possible option for your skin type to figure out which will work best on you. Best to try them on in daylight and leave them on for a couple of hours, as some foundations oxidize and change their color once in contact with skin.
The same is true with buying concealer. You must get one that is in the same shade as your foundation. This way, your concealer and foundation will match flawlessly. If you have dark circles, make sure you pick one with a hint of peach; this will counteract the blueness of dark circles and make them miraculously disappear.
2. Work with your browsFor Indian women with thicker eyebrows, the key is to embrace these naturally bolder brows rather than working against them. So refrain from waxing, zapping or threading because this can lead to anemic brows.
All you need to do is to get rid of odd stray hairs and trim the longer hairs. Also, aim to enhance the shape of your brow with the right eyebrow brush.
Bear in mind that using eyebrow brushes requires patience if you wish to achieve the perfect contours. By signing up for makeup courses, you will learn to master the art of using these brushes professionally.
3. When applying blush to your cheekbones, keep a straight faceMost women believe that by smiling while applying blush on their cheekbones, they will achieve a more beautiful look. But logically, the blush won’t be properly applied on the apples of your cheeks if you do so. The moment you stop smiling, the parts of your cheeks where you applied the blusher will be drawn down, and this will create a sagging look. Consider also that if you smile, your skin forms wrinkles; applying blusher on top of wrinkles will set these in place.
Your cheekbones are the highest bones that you feel on your cheeks, extending to your ears. This is where you should apply your blush in an upward direction; this will naturally lift your face.
Make sure to extend the blush to your temple. This application technique will give you a lifted and younger look.
4. Blend, blend, blend you have to make sure that your finished look is cohesive, which means all the makeup colors used must not only be void of any harsh lines but also blend well with another. Other people should be able to see that while you have applied different shades of eyeshadows or blush, they all complement one another and work well together.
5. Follow a proper skincare routineIf you are always putting makeup on your skin, then you have to adhere to proper skincare routines to maintain its good health and youthful appearance. Keep in mind that the cosmetic products themselves won’t cause wrinkles and other skincare issues; it would be the failure to practice good skin care habits that will fetch you such problems.
No beauty tip will save your skin from becoming damaged if you often sleep with your makeup on. So make sure that before sleeping, remove your makeup completely to let your skin breathe and prevent blemishes from developing. Also, eat healthy food, hydrate well, get plenty of rest, and always smile and feel great about yourself. Clean skin and a positive outlook in life will make a huge difference in your appearance and help you feel beautiful both inside and out.
Looking and feeling beautiful is a goal that just about everyone pursues. It’s why Indian women, and women from every other corner of the planet, take time and make an effort to learn how to use makeup.
Makeup application entails the use of safe cosmetic products and proper techniques and, when done right, goes a long way in helping women look their best and feel great about themselves.
