Summer Makeup Tips
Along with the warm summer days, should also come a change in makeup. It is not uncommon to change your makeup and your look for the different seasons. Also, there comes different makeup trends in the different seasons. You may not want to wear the same makeup you wore last winter this summer, as you may look out of place. Also, during summer your makeup should be lighter and more natural than it is during fall or winter. Here are some makeup tips to follow for summer.
*Always apply sunscreen to your face and neck no matter what. Even though you should always wear sunscreen, even in winter, it is even more crucial that you make sunscreen a daily regime in the summer. Protect your face from the rays of the sun, as sun damage can cause wrinkles and age spots on your face. Choose a moisturizer that has SPF in it so you can apply both as one cream.
*Keep your foundation and powder very light. Summer is not the time to layer on makeup. It will not last in the hot summer weather. Apply a layer of tinted moisturizer or a light liquid foundation. If you really think you need it, apply a very light dusting of loose powder.
*To get the sun-kissed glow on your face, use a bronzing powder or blush. Apply it to the areas where the sun would naturally hit, such as your cheeks and the middle of the forehead. Be careful on how much you apply, as you do not want to look too dark or look orange.
*Highlight your eyes by sweeping a very light shadow right under the eyebrows and in the corner of the eyes. Make sure that it is well blended in. You can try a light pink or a white color to highlight your eyes.
*Go for natural shades of lipstick and lip gloss. Avoid wearing lip liner as it may bleed in the hot weather. In the summer, you want the natural look, so stick to light pinks, corals and mauves for your lips. If you have a special occasion at night, then you can bring out the red lips.
Summer is the time to go for bright colors on your eyes. If you really like greens and purples, summer would be the time to wear them. Make sure though, that the occasion is appropriate for the makeup you are wearing.*When going to the beach or the pool, for the day, the only thing you need is sunscreen. Nothing looks worse than a women who has been swimming and is wearing all their makeup all over their face. If you know that you absolutely will not be swimming, then go light and natural with the makeup. There is no reason to wear a full face of makeup at the beach or pool.
*Choose waterproof mascara in summer, as sweating may make regular mascara run down your face.

Nine Makeup Tips and Trends for Fall Season
Nine Makeup Tips and Trends for Fall Season
Now that the hot, humid, and desert-like summer months are coming to an end, it's probably time to change up your skincare routine. With Fall season right around the corner, stocking up on the newest lineup of makeup colors, palettes, and collections is a must; while the sheer foundations and light powder eye shadow can carry you through a few more weeks, soon it will be time to ditch the summer makeup bag and pick up some fresher looks instead. Here are the top nine makeup tips and trends for Fall season:
1. Dark jet black eyeliner. Both the smoky eye look and sharp cat eye looks made the runways this season, so make sure you're well-equipped with a crisp, pure black eyeliner to help make it happen. Fall season is great for wearing grey and silver tones, and basic black is an ideal complement for almost all skin tones.
2. Plum shades for cheeks. Even though gold and silver are making their way to the closet, creating a rich and sultry look on the face balances out your look. Look for dark plums and rich browns to brighten up those cheeks.
3. Blood red for lips. The classic red lips are still going strong this season, especially when paired with a basic black eyeliner (see #1) and muted eyeshadow combo.
4. Green eyeshadow. Summer's Caribbean-inspired themes continue on into Fall, except in darker and richer shades. A matte green eyeshadow brushed with light silver and black eyeliner is an exotic look that can transform a basic outfit.
5. Eggplant for the lids. Plum shades for the eyes are usually popular for winter, but Fall palettes are seeing lighter, shimmery versions of purple, plum, and maroon.
6. Metallic accents. While metallics continue to reign on the runway, shimmering eyes and frosted eyeliners are still making the top lists in the makeup department. Offset super-bright colors with a dark gray or neutral eye shadow base for a lasting impression.
7. Plumped up lashes. Thick eyelashes are back in style, so be sure to use that eyelash curler and get them just right. 2-3 coats of mascara skillfully applied can give you the definition and drama you're looking for (no soap opera necessary).
8. Darker eyebrows. Keeping your eyebrows in tip-top shape year round is a necessity, but Fall and winter months are great opportunities to plump them up. Tweeze, brush, and accent the eyebrows with a darkening brush or shadow. Making this look as natural as possible will take time, but the effects can completely change your look.
9. Chocolate and browns for gloss. Lip gloss in light pinks and creams worked out great for summer, but Fall season requires a little more boldness. Look for satiny-smooth lip gloss shades in brownish red tones.
Earthy tones during the Fall season are far from boring; this year's looks have a strong focus on metallics and shimmer, so you'll find plenty of frosted versions of your favorite colors. Smoky eyes offer plenty of dramatic effects for special occasions, while the cat eye look will keep you in line with the latest trends. Take your pick from these nine makeup trends and tips for Fall, and change out that summer palette with a bold new outlook

Choosing & Applying The Perfect Make-up Foundation
Choosing & Applying The Perfect Make-up Foundation-
Beautiful makeup requires the perfect make-up foundation.
Foundation creates a blank canvas on the face to which colors is added: eye shadow, blush & lipstick. It is also the setting agent. It is also the setting agent for these products acting as a barrier between the colour & the skin's own natural oils, which would otherwise dissolve the make-up. But because it covers the largest area of the face, foundation needs to blend seamlessly with the skin. Makeup Foundations for differing Skin Types Before buying new foundation there are two areas of concern that need to be addressed. Firstly, the foundation must complement your skin type.
Oily Skin; For oily skin that is prone to shine, an oil-free formulation will hinder the production of excess oil, and most contain extra powder particles to dry any oil produced.
Normal Skin; Normal skin can take pretty much any formulation, but a liquid will give ample coverage without looking caked or heavy. Dry skin needs make-up foundation with extra moisturisers to keep it supple, and to prevent the skin from drinking in the makeup. A cream make-up formulation will last longer and also hydrate. Foundation Colours
The best time to pick a colour is when your skin is at its most natural shade. So, after your holidays or morning after self tanning applications are not the best time. The best place to try make-up is on the jaw line. Basically, foundation colour falls into two categories; • Foundation bases with yellow tones • Foundation bases with pick tones
The most common yellow-toned skin types are Asian, sallow and black skin, whereas fair skin has generally has pink tones. It is important to choose a foundation that matches your skin's base, otherwise the make-up will not blend well, no matter how you apply it. Applying make-up foundations
Oily Skin; With oily skin, the application of oil-free formulas needs to be fast, as they dry speedily. Using clean fingers to apply small does to the areas most in need of coverage is the best way; simply do each area at a time until the face is complete.
Normal Skin; For normal skin, the choice of cream-to-powder liquid or powder foundation can change how much time you spend applying it. Cream-to-powder is best applied with a sponge, starting in the centre of the face and working outwards; its done in a matter of moments. Liquid foundation looks more natural applied with a foundation brush. Again work the brush outwards, taking care to use less around the eye area. Powder or mineral make-up foundation should be applied with a large powder brush; while it will not give the same level of coverage as a liquid, it is a great makeup for those who are pressed for time.
Dry Skin; For dry skin, cream foundation moves well around the face, and a little goes a long way. Dry skin tends to have few blemishes, so concentrate on areas that need coverage, and leave clear areas bare: this is why getting the right colour match is vital.
Foundation creates a blank canvas on the face to which colors is added: eye shadow, blush & lipstick. It is also the setting agent. It is also the setting agent for these products acting as a barrier between the colour & the skin's own natural oils, which would otherwise dissolve the make-up.

Makeup Application Tips
Makeup Application Tips - How to Apply Professional Makeup
Okay, let’s “face” it. There are very few women in the world that are naturally picture perfect. Luckily, there are many make-up techniques that can help. Applying make-up should not be difficult. Mineral Makeup forms a protective barrier on your skin while still allowing your skin to breath. Mineral Make up gives a lightweight natural feel that allows your skin to breathe, unlike talc-based products that can clog pores and damage skin. If you apply make up eyeshadow use a small brush or sponge applicator to apply shadow over your eye lids, or in the creases, for contouring effect. Apply more than one color if desired. Cover whole lid from lash line to eyebrow, then add another color to lid (lighter color), then one in the crease of the eye lid first using color as a highlight on brow bone blend color just where the meet. Mix matte and shimmer color together. Apply wet for a more dramatic effect or use as an eyeliner.
Finishing powders are applied as you would a foundation. Using your blush brush simply swirl and tap in your lid and apply to cheeks. If you apply eyeliner asmall angle brush works best for this. Eyeshadows may also be used as eyeliners. Apply the foundation with your fingers or a o-tip in dots in areas of your face. With a cosmetic sponge, spread the foundation until it is well-blended into the skin. Use a lip pencil to outline the lips and make them stand out. The next step will be to apply lipstick with a lip brush. A lip brush makes the lipstick look professionally applied. Mix the minerals in with your favorite lip gloss shade to change the color or with a clear gloss to add a boost of color and shimmer. You can apply the minerals to your lips first.
There are women who are not beautiful, but since they know the art of carrying themselves, they come the center of attraction despite their orninary looks. We provides you with all information on cosmetics products in the market and latest makeup application tips to enchance your natural beauty.
For makeup application, there are several different ways. But for me, I do one of the following makeup application techniques depending on my mood, time and color choices.
Make up Application Tips
1. Do not apply white or black shadows to your eyes.
2. Applying lipstick - Cool pink lipstick should be applied with a lipbrush. If you like, you can slick a little lipgloss or lip balm on the top for a sexy shimmer look.
3. Apply a light color all over the lid. Use a darker shade for your upper, outer lid.
4. Brushes should not be so stiff that they scratch the face, nor so soft as to be floppy and difficult to control.
5. Apply lip liner to completely cover the lips, add color and your lipstick will stay on much longer.
6. Your hair color should also be in harmony with your skin. If you have dark hair and you want to add color, keep it close to the same shade. If you have light hair, use light colors. As you age your skin will lighten, so should your hair color. One last thing about hair color - if you do color you hair be sure you keep it up, don't let your roots show.
7. Keep makeup looking fresh all day by doing regular touch ups.
8. Powder blush is best for oily and combo skin.
9. The purpose of eye shadow is to shape and accentuate the eye, not color it. Do not overuse eye shadow. The face looks more attractive when you use natural colors
10. Never go to bed with your makeup on. When the makeup is left on overnight it will clog the pores. It prevents the skin from shedding and may cause blemishes and/or blackheads. The skin needs to breathe overnight.
Blush
Smile, take a blush brush and apply a shade of blush to your cheeks. After this part, sweep the brush back into the hairline. This will make your face glow.
This is the basics of make-up application. There are many colors and tools to experiment. Find your look and remember, applying make-up is an art which makes you look your best.
Now of course this is not the only way to apply makeup but the way I believe works the best. However if you want to play up the lips by using a brighter or darker shade of lipstick then do your lips first and eyes last. This way you won't over power the other.About the author: By Richard Bean
