Makeup Application Tips

Here are some application tips I learned from fashion makeup gurus while reporting from backstage at some of the most famous fashion shows in the last ten years.
• Do not try to shape your face with a blush. This is so outdated! To create a prominent cheekbone, makeup artists use shades of light and dark contouring powder. Do not attempt to accentuate cheekbones with a dark blush, applying it in a stripe under your cheekbone, and hoping this will make your cheeks slimmer. Apply the blush to accentuate your healthy glow, starting about an inch
from your nose and blending the color just into the cheekbones. Do not paint your entire cheeks with color, either.
To prop up cheekbones, use a translucent highlighter in skin-friendly, neutral, light warm pink shades. Leave intricate contouring to professional makeup artists, but to instantly add shape and curve to your face, run quickly around your hairline with a large fluffy brush dipped slightly in translucent powder bronzer.
Most mineral blushers have some glimmer in them To make this work for you, apply the blush on the apples of your cheeks and keep the color away from the outer corners of your eyes. Do not apply blush in downward motions, and do not rub the brush back and forth. For many mineral blushes, this brings out too much shimmer.
Don’t think that pale colors automatically mean a more natural look. Pale pink or peach blush can look unnatural if you have olive or dark skin. To choose the best color for your complexion, don’t pinch your cheeks, but instead, smear some blush on your hand and bring it close to your makeup-free lips. Choose the color that works best with your natural lip tone.
Do not match your blush to your jewelry, glasses, clothes, or hair color. The only thing that should guide you is the overall undertone of your makeup. If using gray, silver-toned eye shadow, stick to colder tones of blush, such as rose, pink, and berry. If using warm, golden-toned eye shadow and lip-gloss, choose peach, warm pink, or neutral golden beige.The green beauty guide
