All women want to look beautiful. Some say that beauty is not that important, but you have got to admit, being pretty in everyone’s eyes is still very flattering. The common thing that females use to enhance their beauty is make up. Basically, make up refers to any cosmetic applied on the face, to alter or enhance the appearance of women, or even men. Both men and women use make up, particularly for theater and play purposes. It is usually the women, though, that make use of make up on a daily basis. If you want to make yourself, and your face, more beautiful, make use of some of the tips listed hereunder in applying make up with great results. This information of free makeup tips will be especially useful for girls just learning.

To begin, the basic things you will need are concealer, face powder, foundation, eye shadow, cheek blush, mascara, lipstick, lip shimmer, and the blush brush. These are the usual and everyday cosmetics of women. Some of these supplies can be obtained from free make up samples that come in gift sets when you make a purchase. One line of cosmetics that I really enjoy is MAC cosmetics.

Applying concealer all over your face is the first step. You should choose a concealer with a shade lighter than that of your foundation. Put this concealer over blemishes, under-eye circles or acne and spread it on your face thoroughly using either your fingertips or the sponge. Put some eye cream first if the concealer “cakes”. Then, you can apply the dots of foundation in your face and spread it again until the face is entirely covered. Pressed or loose powder should be applied so both concealer and foundation will last longer.

You can proceed to the eye area once you are done with your face. Use your eyebrow shadow and apply it using a brush. You could use some eye pencils but these usually give the eyes an unnatural look. Next, acquire some lighter and darker shades of eye shadow than the color use used earlier. The medium shade will be applied on the creases, the lighter shade under the eyebrows, and the darker shade on the upper lids. Line the eyelashes’ lower lid area using eyeliner. The usual application is just two-thirds of the lower lid, but if you want a darker look, line all across the lower lid.

The next thing that you need to do is apply your mascara on both upper and lower lashes. Brown mascara is better to use if you have fair complexion. Meanwhile, if your coloring is brown-black or black, use darker colors. You may even experiment and try to use colored mascara like plum or navy. However, too bright colors are to be avoided if you do not wish to be a laughingstock. Once the mascara is done, go back to your face. Apply your blush on the apple of your cheeks. It is advisable to smile when applying cheek blush.

Once you are now done with the basics, you can put the finishing touches. Find a lipstick color that goes well with your skin tone and apply it on your lips. Get your lip liner and line it on the lips after you apply the lipstick and not before. This way, once the lipstick has worn off, there would be no remaining lip liner. Do not combine pale lipstick with dark lip liner.

And that is how you put on simple make up. If you are already good at this, then you should do your own thing. These are merely the basics of applying cosmetics in your face for those who do not know how to do it yet.

Back in the 70’s and 80’s having a dark suntan was synonymous with being healthy. Many people that grew up in those decades used baby oil to get more sun when sunbathing or going to the beach. tanning lotions or tan lotion were only used to make your tan become darker rather than having sunscreen in it to prevent the burning rays. A lot of of those former sun lovers are paying the price today with evident sun damaged skin and wrinkles or skin cancer diagnosis. Today’s youth still want that sun kissed look but are now getting it in a much healthier way .

The deep dark tan is now considered not attractive but a nice sun kissed glow is still more popular than being pale white , especially in the warmer summer months. today’s youth have been brought up with a better appreciation of the damage sun can do and have usually worn sunscreen since they were babies . Two to three decades ago , the highest number SPF they had for your body was a SPF 4 and a product called Noskote that came in a small jar and was the protection of an 8 to put on your nose to prevent it from getting burned. Now , those numbers are rarely apparent for sale and most people put on at least a SPF of 15 when they go out in the sun . It is common for Americans to lather on a SPF of 70 to avoid sun damage and getting burned .

Because so many people are using high number SPF in addition to wearing hats, glasses and even sun protective clothing these days , how do they get a suntanned appearance on their skin? There are various tanning lotion products that give a tanned look on your skin depending on what method you would like to use .

The first type of tanning lotion are a couple of professionally applied versions where you visit a special tanning salon to receive your tan . You may choose t a spray tan in a booth and walk out looking like you have been in the sun all week long . A lot of the chains that have this method are named Mystic tan but there are other brands that also have spray tan booths . Some people don’t like them because it can dry streaky and the smell is not very nice . For those that want the same idea without the negative side effects, they pay to have a tan professionally airbrushed on them . This is what many famous people and actors do to achieve a suntanned appearance .

Another way to receive a suntan is to apply it yourself with self tanning lotion. There are some products that go on and immediately make your skin look darker but can also be messy and get on your clothes afterward . The more popular kind is the type that goes on and takes several days to take effect and work and the tan gradually builds as you apply it daily .
