Too much water drowned the miller. I can?t begin to tell you how many times I?ve told my wife that. She still doesn?t understand my analogy. What I mean to say is too many cosmetics can drown your beauty. Women who go too far with using makeup usually look vulgar and even ugly. It is one of the basic makeup rules followed by both professional makeup artists and amateurs. Good makeup is the successful accentuation of some features. Once again, good makeup must not attract attention to itself but it must make woman's face naturally attractive.
However this rule is not so strict for evening makeup. While in day-time makeup low-key and soft colors must prevail, evening makeup rules allow using more bright and audacious colors. Your individual choice of decorative cosmetics would depend on your appearance specificity, which is determined mainly by the color of your hair.
Makeup is a kind of art. With just a minimum of needed means, a skilled makeup artist can easily make a magic shift in woman's face making it more beautiful but still natural. So, the minimum set of universal decorative makeup products, which every woman needs in every-day routine, includes makeup cream of an appropriate color which would depend on the complexion and type of skin, rouge of soft color, black mascara, lipstick and eye shadow chosen according to color of a woman's eyes.
Before putting make-up face must necessarily be cleansed with tonic or cleansing milk and moistened with moisturizing cream.
Eyes makeup is a very important part of makeup procedure. The form of eyes can be changed a little with a help of a crayon, and eye shadows of the correctly selected colors can make eyes bright and shining. Eyes makeup is usually treated with special care. It is one of the important makeup rules because eyes makeup is probably the most difficult step in the process of make-up application. Irrespective of their colors, eye shadows should be applied reasonably. Beautiful eyes can be accentuated if they are underlined by shadows of two or three colors of one spectrum. If you use several colors in your eye makeup, they must pass one into another smoothly without sharp distinctions between the colors. Before applying shadows to eyelids, it is necessary to powder them slightly. Professional makeup artists use this trick to be able to apply eye shadows evenly and provide their long-lasting performance. One of the primary makeup rules reads that eye shadows of dark color make eyes look deep, and the ones of light colors make them look larger.
Make-up cream is a make-up foundation. It is usually applied either with make-up sponge or by fingers. It provides a layer which makes skin smoother and hides different defects. Make-up cream layer is then covered with powder. The powder should be one tone lighter than the cream. After make-up cream and powder, cheek colors are applied. However, if rouge is liquid, it must be put on face before powder.
Choosing colors is a very important issue in makeup rules. The makeup color should not be an occasional choice, or just the color you like most of all. It must first of all fit your face and hair type. Successfully selected, they make our appearance much better. Therefore it is always necessary to select the colors according to the complexion, colors of eyes and hair, and only afterwards pay attention to colors of your clothes and fashion trends.
Makeup colors are divided into three groups: pastel, warm and cold. Pastel tones are recommended to women with light-colored eyes (blue, grey or light-green), pink or ivory complexion and blonde hair. Warm tones are used to emphasize the features of two men with chestnut, red or copper color of hair, dark-brown and dark-green eyes, and beige or dark ivory complexion. Cold tones best fit women with a brunette hair, dark eyes and white or olive skin.
Before choosing your color spectrum determines what type you belong to, or consult a professional makeup artist. It is very important to use the proper colors in order to look good. If you change color of your hair or eyes cardinally, do not forget to refresh your makeup supply.
