Speaking about makeup basics, let's first mention the use of eye shadows.

It is recommended to use lighter shades in case your eyes are small and you want to make them look larger. For large or protruding eyes it is better to use darker shades. If you want to prevent eye shadows from creasing, you should first put foundation, and after that powder on your lids. It will give a clean base for colorations.

When the foundation is on your lids, start applying lighter shades, gradually moving to your final color.

One of the most important rules of makeup basics is the logicality of various procedures. In eye makeup it is necessary first to apply the light shadow over the entire eye lid, from the very lash line to the brow. It is recommended to use flat and large eyeshadow brushes of good quality. The next step is to apply eyeshadow of medium color on the lower lid to the eye crease. This is done with a fluff brush. Dark colors are used as a liner and are usually applied to the lash line. If you want to be sure your make-up will not fake for a long time, make your eyeliner brush a bit wet. One of the rules of makeup basics is that the blend of the colors should look natural. The point is not the place of the colors, but the invisibility of their blending and working together. They should not look like three completely separate colors.

The use of blush will help you create a really healthy look. In order to accentuate your cheeks naturally, it is better to use a high-quality brush. These are the makeup basics concerning the use of blush. It is recommended first to apply a light layer of blush on the apples of the cheeks. By "apples" they mean the fleshy parts of cheeks, which stand out when you smile. After that blend the blush up and back the line of your hair.

In order to define which blush color will look naturally on your cheeks, it is necessary to look at the color of the cheeks after you've had exercises. That is the color your blush should have. Specialists recommend to tap off the excess of blush from the brush before applying it to your cheeks. Blush brushes of compact size are considered to be too small. As for the bristles, they are not properly shaped.

Instructions on makeup for beginners tell that the most important feature for defining the face is the eyebrows. If you want to apply a natural eyebrow shape, you should use a short brush, a hard stiff and use colorations, but not pencils. Pencils can also be used. But you'll have to practice a lot before you'll be able to make a natural look.

Tweezing is the way to thin your eyebrow. That's what you should start with. Then you may start defining the arch of the eyebrow. Good shape of your eyebrows will make your eyes look larger and will open the face more naturally compared to wearing abundant makeup. Take into consideration that heavy eyebrows may overpower your face. It is recommended to shape eyebrows by means of tweezing hairs from underneath, but not from above. Specialists advise to tweeze eyebrows, and never to shave them.
