When I was young I didn’t know that I was okay the way I was.
I would always look at someone else and see something special
about them, but I never saw it in myself. I spent almost all of my
teenage years wanting to look like fashion models that were of
a completely different race or culture.
Now that I’ve grown-up and much happier with myself, I realize
that you may be dealing with similar issues as well, and that’s
why it is important that I create this section. Here you will begin
to feel more comfortable about makeup because the information
is straightforward, simple, and none of your questions will ever
be considered “stupid”.You will get a chance to find out the
easiest ways to apply eyeshadow and blush, and what look suits
you best for prom or on all occasions.
At your age, makeup should be as simple and fun as possible,
so I’m going to make it that way while helping you develop
your own personal beauty style.
You may not have 20 or 30 minutes to spend in front of the
mirror applying makeup because honestly, that is time you
can use to accomplish another important task. I’m not going
to encourage you to apply your makeup while driving because
that is so unnecessary and dangerous. You never want to put
yourself or someone else in danger for vanity’s sake. What I will
do is tellyou how to apply your makeup in 7 minutes or less,
and the steps are pretty simple. This will give you the opportunity
to leave home with a professional look without spending extra
time in front of the mirror.
1. Start with moisturizing your face.
Make sure you have even distribution, and thoroughly massage the
product into your skin. Always moisturize your skin before applying
makeup to achieve a more natural result.
2. Apply foundation to your face.
If you are using liquid foundation, place a pea-size amount of
foundation to your cheeks, chin and forehead. Be sure to apply to
your nose also and blend outwards towards the cheeks. Use the
same approach with a stick foundation and cream-to-powder
foundation, but this time you dab the product onto your skin
and blend in evenly. Dab concealer onto dark eye circles or
problem areas, and blend out the edges.
The use of sheer powder and powder brush. You are going to
set the foundation by using light sweeping strokes to dust on
the powder. Don’t forget to cover the concealer to disguise it.
Brush away any excess that may be left on your face.
3. Fill in your eyebrows with a brow pencil or brow powder.
If you are using a brow pencil, light feathery strokes should
be used to fill in any gaps you may have. If you prefer to use
a brow powder, you may find that an angle brush is the easiest
brush to apply it with. Again, use light feathery strokes when
filling in gaps and defining the shape.
4. Rosy up those cheeks.
Dust some blush onto those cheekbones. Make sure you blend
in circular motion up towards the hairline to create a natural
finish.
5. Mesmerize your eyes.
Apply your favorite eyeshadow and blend with a blending brush.
When blending, make sure you use the windshield-wiper
technique by moving the blending brush back and forth along
the crease of the eye — this creates a much softer look. After
that you can proceed with lining your eyes with an eyeliner
pencil, and applying mascara to both the upper and lower lashes.
6. Coloring your lips.
Apply lipstick or lip gloss to top of the look and put your best
face forward.
7. Sexiest frangrance completes your look.
Spritz the sexiest or sweetest frangrance. This may not be the
most expensive and famous branded scent. You can have
colognes or toilette. But woman wears perfume to ensure they
smell sexy or preppy the whole day.
This quick tips can be use for carrer uniforms or with t-shirt
and pants. Can also be proms or for other occassions. Grab
some comfortable, versatile shoes, maybe sandals, that go
with most of your outfits so you’re not taking all morning
choosing which pair of shoes to wear today. Save the 4 inch
blue pumps for your wild nights on the town. Remember the
greatest and simpliest hairdo of all time. Put your hair up in
a pony tail or clips for a young, fresh look that is quick, no
time for rollers or curling irons (shower and wash hair in the
evenings to save time).
