Good make-up can work miracles if only you know how to perform it correctly! Do you know how to create a beautifying make-up? Meet the tricks and tips to camouflage imperfections and highlight your natural beauty. Read on and test it!
Makeup always had one main task and it was to emphasize the natural beauty and to beautify in general. Sometimes it requires to highlight eyes or lips and sometimes to camouflage more apparent imperfections (pimples, scars, hyperpigmentation, spider veins).
Our reasons for choosing make-up don’t change in spite of make-up trends undergoing constant metamorphosis season by season. You can reach for different cosmetics, use different techniques, but make-up will always beautify and give you a self-confidence boost.
Beautifying make-up
Every make-up can be called beautifying if only made correctly. Although you shouldn’t overdo it by hiding yourself under layers and layers of foundation, lipstick, and eyeshadows, you need to show and highlight your natural beauty to the world.
Well done beautifying make-up is almost undetectable on the face. A thick layer of powder gathering in the creases of the skin? That’s not the way to do it! The best effect of make-up is achieved by using small amounts of cosmetics. The more lightweight the make-up the better. You’re the one who supposed to be in the center of attention, not your clumped lashes.
If you feel a bit too ‘make-uped’ then your make-up is definitely not beautifying!
Cosmetics necessary for make-up
What will you need if you want to create a beautifying make-up? No wild numbers of cosmetics are required, what matters is that you have the right cosmetics. You should definitely have:
- BB cream or lightweight foundation for imperfections,
- undereye concealer (can be used also for other types of skin changes),
- translucent mineral, rice or bamboo powder,
- eye shadows (at least 2-3 shades),
- tint, pomade or brow pencil,
- high-quality mascara for lashes definition.
This is the absolute minimum you need in your cosmetic bag because with those products you can create full beautifying daily make-up. Obviously, you can widen the range of cosmetics, e.g. with contouring products, but these can be replaced with something you have currently at hand. You just need to learn some helpful make-up tricks.
Point one: healthy skin
The first make-up trick has little in common with the make-up itself. It’s about the proper way to make the skin ready for make-up cosmetics. How to do that? You’ll need daily skincare and regular moisturizing, nourishment and exfoliation.
Healthy skin is free from imperfections, oily T-zone or dry skin patches. Thanks to it, you can use fewer cosmetics and achieve natural make-up that will look good the entire day.
How should you prepare for your make-up? The best make-up tricks
To create make-up that beautifies instead of such that will make all imperfections more apparent is a challenge. It is worth knowing some simple make-up tricks that allow the use of just a few cosmetics to make yourself look more charming and emphasize natural beauty.
#1 MAKE-UP TRICK
Focus on the eyes and lashes line.
The most important part of beautifying make-up is the eyes because that’s where all our beauty is located. It is worth to make them your main focus by opening them optically with a dark shade on the external eye corner and bright shade on the inner eye corner. It is also a great idea to darken lashes line with a dark pencil (e.g. kohl is great for the job) to make them more expressive and surrounded by dense lashes.
#2 MAKE-UP TRICK
Find high-quality mascara for more lash definition.
You do not need intense eye make-up if your eyelashes are dark, long and dense. However, in order to achieve that you need to have a mascara that will not clump eyelashes, does not flake but beautifully separates lashes. Lengthening, thickening, volumizing and curling mascara is a key to success. You should consider choosing such with regenerative and growth-enhancing ingredients.
#3 MAKE-UP TRICK
Use a brush or a sponge for flawless skin.
We look our best when our skin is flawless, smooth and spotless. It is effect achievable by a foundation or BB cream applied with a flat top brush (fluffy brush flat at the top) or a sponge (iconic Beauty Blender). You will then use less product and by using tapping motion you ensure its long stay because it blends with skin the perfect way.
#4 MAKE-UP TRICK
Try contouring but do not overdo it.
Beautifying make-up cannot be cartoonish so full Kardashian style contouring is not recommended. However, some dimension to the skin may be a good idea. A small amount of bronzer and highlighter allow you to achieve the desired effect but you can also use just bright and dark eyeshadow to do the job.
#5 MAKE-UP TRICK
Take care of the lips to protect it from being chapped.
In the case of natural daily make-up, no intense lip make-up is required. Nonetheless, you should never forget that chapped lips don’t look good and can ruin the effect. Basic thing is to remember about the lip balm or moisturizing lipstick and some lip exfoliator (it can be homemade with honey and sugar).
