The All Important Base
The base provides an even surface for the make up to be applied. This means that we should cleanse our face beforehand and moisturize if needed so that when it comes to applying the foundation, you do not end up with dry, flaky patches.

A good base will help to keep your make up on longer and it will give the skin a clearer complexion, especially if you drink plenty of water to keep it nourished!

Should You Use Foundation or Concealer?
It can be confusing knowing which one you put on first and how much you should use. Generally though, the rule is to use as much concealer as needed to cover any blemishes which you may have. There are different types of concealer which work to cover dark circles, spots, and red patches, so always make sure that you are buying the right one for you.

Usually women apply concealer below foundation, but you can apply it over the foundation if you like, it just tends to stay on a little more if you apply it under it. As for foundation, you should only use it if you need it. There is absolutely no sense in covering up good skin, so if you do have areas which look OK, do not cover them up! Simply use it where needed and leave the rest alone.

Choosing the Right Eye Shadow
With the right eye shadow your eyes can be your most powerful, seductive weapon. The best way to create a good, powerful look is to combine two different colors. Use one on the base, and one up to the brow line and that will give you a good, powerful, (yet subtle if you choose the right colors), look.

All About Mascara
Mascara really can create a sultry look in the eyes if you find the right one for you. There are literally hundreds to choose from and you can choose whether you want to look sexy and confident, or laid back and pretty. There are products out there that can lengthen the lashes, and the general trend is to add more volume to the lashes. It is always better to shop around to make sure that you find the right one for you.

The Eyebrows Can and Do Make a Difference!
Whilst they may not be a top priority, your eyebrows actually have the power to make you look younger and sexier. Making sure that they are shaped and colored will help to give you a more defined look. However, do not go and pluck out as many hairs as possible, too many women pluck too many hairs away and the result can be permanent if you are not careful.

The best place to get your eyebrows done is at a proper salon where a professional can shape and color them properly.

Wearing too much blusher is also a sin which many women commit. It is always better to start at the fleshy part of your cheek called the apple, and sweep towards the hair line for best results. Make sure you tap off any excess powder and if it looks too subtle you can always add a little more color, but honestly – do not overdo it!

Overall, spending a little extra time on your make up can make all the difference. You should always remember to clean any make up brushes regularly in order to give the best results, as well as keeping your face bacteria free. Dirty brushes can cause many skin problems so it is always better to clean them!
