Three interesting makeup tricks!

Three interesting makeup tricks!




1.The Most Important Thing – Proper Contouring
Proper Contouring
Proper countering is perhaps the most important thing when you apply makeup on your face. The main reason for using makeup on your face is that you want to hide the features that you do not like so much and underline the ones that are your favourite. Using makeup and the proper contouring is important when you are going to pose for photos, because the camera is much more sophisticated then the normal human eye and it can capture all the shadows and highlights.
There are special powders for proper countering and highlighting and you can try to use them, but there is also the variant to use such powder that is darker than your skin with a few shades, and a foundation that is lighter than you skin. There are certain areas that you need to define with darker shades – your neck, under your cheek bones, and other parts of your face like the zone under your eyes and the t-zone is where you should highlight.
2.The Illusion of Larger Lips

Well, unfortunately we are not all blessed with big and juicy lips that we like so much to see on a woman’s face, but there are a few tricks that can help you create this illusion. The simplest one is to use a lip pencil and apply a line outside your normal lip line. That means just to go slightly off your normal lip line so that you create the effect; otherwise all you could achieve is to look like a clown.
3.How to Save Your Eye Line
If you are using eyeliner as part of your makeup vision, perhaps you also check from time to time if it is still there. Some eyeliners are not so stable and tend to vanish after some time, may be because they are not like waterproof makeup. But waterproof makeup is really hard to be taken off, the process of removing, for example the lashes, can be even painful. That is why I prefer not to use waterproof makeup but have some tricks for saving the makeup on my face. Such a trick is to put pressed powder under your eye liner on your bottom lid. With this you create some kind of a barrier so that your eyeliner does not go downward.

The Secret Trick to Nailing the Perfect Cat-Eye

The Secret Trick to Nailing the Perfect Cat-Eye




Let’s face it: For those of us without steadfast, surgeon-like hands or a professional makeup crew on call, inky, jet-black liner is intimidating. One false tug is all it takes is to go from feline flick to Amy Winehouse superfan. But before you breakup with the look altogether, consider this: With the right tool—and technique, of course—creating a cat-eye is actually easy. You’ll be a believer too once you try Benefit’s brand new They’re Real! Push-Up Liner. The first ever gel formula inside a pen applicator, this wunderkind liner combines the precision of a traditional gel with the ease of a pen applicator. Even more impressive, the geniuses at Benefit spent five years developing the patent-pending AccuFlex pen tip, which is engineered specifically to hug your lashline. Because it’s so goofproof, the liner can be used a myriad of different ways, but we tried it out with one of our favorite makeup artist tricks and saw major success. Behold: The easiest cat-eye you’ll ever create.
Step by Step

Step 1:

The goal here is sleek and sultry—not I-just-watched-a-Nicholas-Sparks-movie-marathon sloppy. To that end, get the perfect canvas for your dramatic eyeliner with Benefit’s Stay Don't Stray primer. It adds a light wash of nude pigment that conceals darkness and makes you look instantly more awake. Best of all, the formula ensures that your liner will stay put. Dust on a light shimmery shadow to really make eyes pop.

Step 2:

Holding the liner tip vertical to your lashline, trace a thin line out from the outer corner of your eye. The line should point upwards towards the tip of your brow and stop right underneath your crease. Tip: Follow your lower waterline to help guide placement.

Step 3:

Next, draw a line back toward the middle of your lid. You should create a small V-shape at the edge of your eye.

Step 4:

Then, starting near your tear duct, draw a slim straight line above your upper lash line until it connects with your V. Now pat yourself on the back because the tricky part is over.

Step 5:

Go back and fill in your outlines with color.

Step 6:

Finish with two coats of long-lasting mascara. Play matchy-matchy by opting for Benefit’s original They’re Real! Mascara. The smooth formula glides on easily, while the unique definition-enhancing brush lifts and separates each and every lash.
