Makeup helps us to highlight our natural beauty, but to apply it in the best way, is good to know the basic steps and techniques and colors that are going under our skin, shape of face and what we want to hide. Here we give a basic guide you need to know when makeup.

Skin: Before starting makeup, you know you should have a clean and moisturized skin. Also, apply a special cream for your eye area.

The base: The factor that matches your face and free from imperfections, but to work, you must find the right tone, that goes with your skin color. If you want to brighten your skin, use a lighter shade on the light points of the face: the cheek area, under the eyes, part of the temple, and even the chin.

Blush: Use to correct modeling of the face and also to give a touch of depth, using a matte dark color in the sinking of the cheek, from the top and in the form of gradient.

If you have blue eyes, use pink and brown, to green eyes, decántate by the violet, especially during the afternoons and evenings, for brown eyes, use green and gold colors, which highlight the warmth of your eyes.

Lips: Use a shade of lipstick that matches your skin, basically, you should use warm colors if your skin is warm, and cold if your skin is clear or rosacea.

Common Mistakes

Applying makeup before your moisturizer is fully absorbed: When any type of cosmetic is applied directly to an area with cream still wet, it tends to slip and do not integrate with the skin. Wait at least 3 before applying makeup, but this time of absorption also depends on the product previously applied.

Pick a color corrector very clear: The purpose of this product is to hide the dark areas of your face. If you choose one over too clear that the color of your skin, you will get completely the opposite: bring attention to that area. Therefore, make sure you buy one that corresponds to your skin.

Using very bright makeup colors: There are brilliant colors may look good on special occasions but not every day. It is important to know also neutral tones to choose and work, based on dark browns, pinks and beiges, and that work for all skin tones and gives a natural look without overdoing it.
