Effective Makeup Tricks

Look prettier, faster, with these insider tips from top experts. Make up tricks are an art which one needs to learn through experience. Makeup is grown beyond the dictates of fashion, cosmetic-coverage and demands of the occasion. By doing makeup we can improve our appearance as the best. Foundation goes on all over your face to make it looks uniform and smooth. It comes in three types: liquid, cream and powder. If you have a round face, use a dark shade foundation; for square and diamond shaped face, use a darker shade over the jaw and the chin. If the skin below your eyes has a subdued colour, you can heighten it by using darker shade on the spot. Selecting the right toner can make pores appear smaller and ebb oil production in t-zone hot spots.

Tips for the makeup

• Fill in fine lines - Here's a way to keep lipstick from feathering.
• Get Gorgeous Nails - Remove all polish, clean under your nails and massage the thickest lotion you can find into your cuticles.
• You may dilute the foundation by adding some astringent, toner or even water; so that it's sheer enough to let your skin show through it looks more natural if applied like this.
• Dark eye shadow can be used as eyeliner as well. Use a very flat brush, wet it and dip it in dark eye shadow.
• To look alive after a long night, pat concealer onto the inner corners of your eyes, under your lower lashes and next to your nose, says Scrivo. Finish by swirling bronzer over your cheeks.
• Brush a dark powder eye shadow onto eyelids and smooth a dab of petroleum jelly on top for a new eye gloss.
• Use heavy-pigmented cream foundation and layer it with powder foundation to make the skin look smoother.
• Liquid eye shadows are sheer and double up as a high lighter for face, body and eyes.
• The right perfume can be ‘layered’ with the same scent in different products like using bath oil, body lotion and hand cream of the same house of fashion as your perfume.
• You must not wash the tonic lotion on your face because your complexion will become dehydrated. Therefore apply the lotion then wipe the excess with a towel.
• Lip liner is essential to defining your mouth, reshaping the lip, and correcting uneven shapes  It can help prevent lip color from bleeding and make your lipstick last longer when you fill in your lips with the liner first. 
• To sop up oil and refresh makeup, lightly mist your face with toner, then pat with a tissue, says Eva Scrivo, makeup artist and owner of the eponymous New York City salon. Finish with a dusting of loose powder.
• Place the focus on the face either on eyes or on lip and underplay the other with neutral pink or brown shades.
• If you don't want to have ruffled eyebrows, apply a little foam on them or transparent mascara.
• Adding yellow eye shadow to the concealer can effectively cover dark circles.
• If your nose is broader you should apply a dark shade of beige color on both the sides of the nose.
