Simple Home made make up tips :

1.) Before starting your makeup you should clean your face thoroughly. Use your soap or face wash gel to wash your face.

7.) If you are using any eye cream apply that first.

8.) If you have any issues in your face like dark spots, age spots, acne mark, or hyper pigmentation you can use a concealer. But concealer should be a lighter shade than your foundation. Select a concealer that suits the color of your foundation.

Take little foundation in your finger tips and apply in your forehead, chin, cheeks and nose carefully and blend it evenly in your face or you can use sponge to blend.

10.) Use powder. Powder is not only useful for coating but also helps to set the concealer and foundation. It also helps the foundation and concealer to stand longer. You can use pressed or loose powder as per your convenience. But give a even finish you can also use a brush to apply powder evenly.

11.) You have to start with eye shadows for your eyes. Select a perfect eye shadow which matches your skin tone and dress. Take a soft eye shadow brush and wipe it lightly in the one which you have selected and gently sweep on your eyelids.

12.) The next step is to apply eyeliner. Now we can get a eyeliner with a thin brush that is more convenient to use and give a good finish.

13.) Next after applying the eyeliner is to apply the mascara to the upper and lower lashes. You can get mascaras in all shades. But black is the color that suits everyone and all types & colors of dresses.

14.) Blush your cheeks it is much important. It makes your cheeks and your face bright. Select a natural color or light color like the color of your palm to blush your face.

15.) As final steps of your makeup process we are going to finish it off with the lips.

Permanent Makeup - Eyeliner and Lip Liner

I'm the kind of person who likes to look good, but dreads having to roll out of bed in the mornings because I'll have to go through all of the elaborate minutiae of makeup application.

Every morning is a personal war for me; and it sometimes got to the point where I would lie in bed with the covers tucked over my head until two in the afternoon, simply because I didn't want to bother with my exceedingly tedious morning routine.

The thought has occasionally occurred to me to skip putting on makeup altogether, but I haven't left my house without makeup on since before I was in high school, and I don't intend on changing that now. A

After another completely wasted Saturday morning spent lying in bed and trying to pretend that I was still asleep though, I finally decided that I had had enough. I searched the internet for permanent makeup options. I wanted to start out slowly; with a little permanent eyeliner or permanent lip liner or semi permanent lip liner maybe.

What is permanent makeup?

If you're wondering what permanent makeup is; it's essentially makeup that's been tattooed directly onto a person's face. The difference between permanent lip liner, for example, and the butterfly tattoo a person might have had inked onto their lower back, is that whereas tattoos are mostly meant to make a statement of some sort about somebody's personality, makeup is simply meant to enhance (or slightly alter) whatever's already there.

How is permanent makeup applied?

As mentioned in the last paragraph, permanent makeup is basically a bunch of tattoos. This means that it is usually applied the same way tattoos are; except that they're almost always applied by a plastic surgeon, since facial skin is much more delicate than the skin in most of the rest of the body, and since the tattoos are usually placed really close to important parts of the body, like the eyes.

Does applying permanent makeup hurt?

The short answer to that one is "yes." Getting a tattoo is essentially getting punctured a lot of times with an ink-filled needle. A permanent makeup job will be essentially the same thing. A permanent makeup machine; a device used specifically for the application of permanent makeup will often be used; although it pretty much does the same thing a tattoo needle does: deposit pigment into deep layers of skin.

With permanent makeup though, it isn't applied as deeply, and since it's applied to the face, most plastic surgeons will apply topical or local anesthetic to whatever you want to put makeup on.

The most you will probably feel will be some minor discomfort, and there may be a bit of swelling and stinging afterwards as well. You might want to ask your doctor about what you can do to deal with the after-effects.

What are the pros and cons of permanent makeup?

The first con is fairly obvious. It's permanent. You'll have it for the rest of your life. Or, since it's really likely that the ink will fade over time, you'll have it for at least a few years. This means that if you opted to have blue permanent eyeliner, you're going to have to live with that particular permanent eyeliner color for a while, unless you're willing to undergo costly and painful (usually more painful than the permanent makeup application process) tattoo removal to get rid of it.

Of course, this is probably the reason why people get makeup in the first place, so it counts as a pro as well: the fact that it stays. It's really a double-edged sword.

This is why if you want to get makeup, you have to think long and hard before making your decision; there aren't any morning after take backsides once you have this kind of makeup on your face. A lot of clinics and beauty centers where makeup services are being offered will also have specialists to help you with your color and design choices.

To get the look you want and avoid infections, make sure that you get a cosmetologist or permanent makeup specialist you trust, who uses sterilized equipment.

Another con to permanent makeup is the cost; something as simple as permanent eyeliner can set you back anywhere from three hundred dollars, to a thousand. It does help you cut back on the need to buy eyeliner every few weeks or months though, which does save you some money. If you think about it, this isn't that much of a con, really.

What about semi permanent makeup, like semi permanent lip liner? Is there a difference?

That depends on who you're talking to. Permanent makeup is often also called semi permanent makeup; so you can opt to refer to your new lip liner job as semi permanent lip liner or permanent lip liner. Sometimes though, there can be a small difference between semi permanent and permanent makeup. Some brands or cosmetic lines will tout their products or services as semi makeup, but will actually refer to ordinary cosmetics formulated to be especially long wearing.

Whether you're planning on giving makeup a try and going under the cosmetologist's needle with permanent eyeliner or semi permanent lip liner, or simply finding some reeeeeeaaally long-wearing semi permanent lip liner though, getting the colors and services that suit your needs can be easy, if you know what you're looking for.

Secrets To Applying Makeup Like A Professional

Celebrities always seem to have the prettiest, most expertly applied makeup on the Red Carpet, and this is all thanks to their personal makeup artists that accentuate their best features. The art of applying makeup cannot be learnt overnight, but these professional tips will guide you in the right direction to applying your makeup expertly.

Don't wear too much makeup

Makeup must be used to enhance your best features and play down your least favorite features. Here are some common makeup mistakes that you should avoid:
Foundation- must be the same color as your skin tone, blended well and not applied too thickly.Face powder- must be used sparingly and blended well.Mascara - too much will look fake and "drag queen" like.Eyeliner- too much or too dark eyeliner looks overdone.

Makeup for your Lips

If you want long lasting lipstick, apply lip liner over the lips and then apply your lipstick. Never apply lip liner beyond your lip line, even if you want your lips to appear fuller. If you have full lips and want to make them look thinner, apply the lip liner to the inside of your lips.

Makeup for the occasion

You shouldn't be wearing the same makeup to a nightclub as to the beach or the mall. Apply your makeup according to the occasion, lighter makeup for the day time and darker for evening or night.

Keep it natural

You should wear makeup color that compliment each other and do not clash against your skin tone. Dark hair and skin look best in dark colors while light skin tone and hair look best in light colors.

Too little or no makeup

Don't afraid to wear makeup, if you don't know how to apply makeup well, practice with different makeup looks and see what suits you. Start with light makeup and as you become more comfortable with applying makeup, go darker. If you are completely lost, foundation and lip gloss and a good start, then go on to using mascara and blusher and eventually eye shadow. Remember you can still look natural with makeup on; you don't have to over do it to look good.

Touch up your makeup

Once you are happy with your makeup application, keep it looking fresh and pretty all day by touching it up regularly when it fades. It is very disappointing when you've spent a lot of time perfecting your makeup look and it fades throughout the day or night, all you need is a touch up of lipstick or face powder and you're good to go.
