Eye Liner - Lining the eyes - Adding Depth to your Eyes:


Eye liners, including our own indigenous kaajal are the most extensively used form of eye makeup. Liners outline the eye and are particularly attractive in deeper toning colours (to match the eye shadow)
The earlier cake type of eye liner has now been somewhat replaced by liquids and pencils. The liquid liners are sold in bottles either with a separate small brush or in an automatic unit with the brush built into the cap. The product may be either water based (when it is susceptible to wetting with water) or alcohol-based (when it is water-proof). Our own kaajal has also undergone a considerable improvement- from cake to stick and now to a pencil, which is so easy to use

Eye Make Up :: Eye Shadows :: Apply Eye Shadows
How to apply eye shadow?

The following steps are followed in the application of eye shadow shades:


Step 1 - First decide if you want to use one, two or three different eye shadow colours at once. There is no problem in using 3-4 colours, provided, they are blended well.


Step 2 - Using a fine, blunt-ended brush, gently apply the base colour eye shadow to the entire lid from the inside to the outside corner and from the base of the lashes to the eyelid crease.

Step 3 - If the eyes need extra definition, a deeper shade is blended into the crease line. This gives depth to the eyes.

Step 4 - The brow bone is highlighted with a light shade eye shadow. This gives the eyes a wide, open look.


Step 5 - The eye shadow is applied to the most prominent area and blended up towards the brow and down to where the contour curves down, toward the eyelid creases.



Eye Shadow Applying Tips

Eye Shadow Applying Tip 1: Before using eye shadows on the lids, always test the colours on the back of the hand to see the intensity. Remember, pale tones emphasize, whideep sooty shades define.

Eye Shadow Applying Tip 2: Choose a primary colour (the colour you want to stand out the most) and use short strokes to cover your whole eyelid.


Eye Shadow Applying Tip 3: The colours should get progressively lighter as they are stacked above your eyes.


Eye Shadow Applying Tip 4: Apply just enough pressure to lay the colour down without caking it onto your lids. Be especially careful not get too close to the crease or your eyebrows.


Eye Shadow Applying Tip 5: Sparingly apply a lighter eye shadow colour above your primary colour and below your eyebrow. You should be able to cover the entire area in one sweep.


Eye Shadow Applying Tip 6: To give your eyes a 'smoky' look, choose a dark blue, grey or black eye shadow and brush it around the outer corners of your eyes and blend it into your primary eyeliner. Don't stray further than a quarter inch away from your eyes.

How to Apply Makeup Powder? - Setting your Makeup

 Makeup Powder is an effective beauty aid to make the skin look even soft and attractive. Powder is the last item of your makeup. It is available in two forms - cake and powder. While choosing a powder, keep in mind your complexion, and choose a shade that goes with it, otherwise the two shades, one of your complexion and the other of your powder will not match. The skin will look blotchy. Do not use cake powder, if you have an oily skin, because it contains an oily base. While using powder, be sure your locks of hair are not hanging on your face. Apply powder with a clean, cotton puff and discard the used one.



Makeup Powder does 2 things to your makeup. Firstly, it sets your makeup perfectly, giving a smooth, even finish to the complexion. Secondly, it helps to prevent the appearance of shine on the areas most prone to oiliness- the central panel. When applied correctly, your makeup will stay fresh for a longer time.
Makeup Powder can be applied over foundation to help set it, but its main purpose is to help keep your face looking fresh as the day wears on. For that reason, powder usually goes as a portable thing in every ladies bag.
Applying Powder Makeup
Step 1 - Make sure the foundation is well blended.
Step 2 - Blot the face lightly with a tissue, especially over the forehead, nose and chin.
Step 3 - Pick up the powder on the puff and press it firmly on the face, one area at a time. Don't try to smooth it on by massaging the puff over the face. Do not forget to use it on the neck.
Step 4 - Now using a soft, thick powder brush, whisk away the excess, with downward movement to stop the powder getting caught in the fine facial hair.
Step 5 - Powder gets stuck on eyebrows and eye lashes. Brush it off with an eye brow brush with an anti-clockwise movement (from the end of the eyebrow upwards).
Which Makeup Powder to use?
Fine loose translucent powders are the best, as the pressed powders tend to cake and streak. Avoid the tinted ones as these colour the face rather brightly and become grey with time on the face.

Best Concealers comes in different types as per your skin type:

Apply Best Concealers to remove Dark Circles, Scars, Tattoos, Blemishes and Pimples


Best Concealers are applied to hide dark circles around the eyes, hide baggy eyes, scars, tattoos, pimples and other blemishes, thereby greatly enhancing the appearance of the face. Best concealer goes under foundation and is used for spot treatments. They are more opaque than regular makeup, but still need to be matched to the skin tone and are applied before using the harmony foundation. When any product is applied around the eyes, special care must be taken so that the skin is not stretched. They are so formulated that the subsequent application of makeup does not remove them.

• Liquid bottles and tubes (which are thinner and good for dry skin type)



• Sticks and compacts (which are thicker and good for oily skin).


Choose a concealer that is slightly lighter than your regular skin colour - the foundation that you apply over it will even it out.

What are Foundations?

 Foundations are pigmented products intended for application on the face and the neck. They colour the skin evenly and hide facial imperfections such as scars, depressions and dark and light coloured areas.


Foundations come in several forms like emulsions, creams, liquids, gels, cakes and powders - these different forms contain the same basic ingredients, but differ in texture and finish, because the components are present in different proportions.

The basic formulation of the foundation is based on colouring agents (usually derived from iron oxide or titanium oxide), a wax (which gives an even flow and smooth finish), some form of cellulose (to make the foundation thick and adherent), an emulsifier, preservatives, and usually a perfume.

Several forms of foundations are available. You must choose your foundation correctly and for this you need to know the effect of each of the forms.

Emulsions: These are packaged in tubes and are formulated for a variety of skin types ¬ for dry skins, oily skins and normal skins. They give less luster than cream or liquid foundations, but cover blemishes very well.
Creams:
These are packaged in jars. As they contain a high proportion of oils, they are particularly suitable for dry skins. These also provide a heavy cover, but give a glossy finish.
Liquids:

These are packaged in bottles and can be formulated for all skin types - so look at the label before you purchase! Along with the cake variety, they are the commonest type of foundation used. They give a light shine cover but are too light to cover any blemishes and scars.

Gels: These are packaged in squeeze tubes. They give a light, natural look and are the variety you should use if you have a blemish free normal skin.

Cakes or Sticks: These are the solid forms of foundation. Since they have a drying effect, use them on an oily skin. They give a dense matt cover and are good for covering blemishes and scars. Solid forms are popular for photographic and stage work but are too heavy for everyday use.

Powders:

The original full coverage face powders have now given way to transparent powders; these transparent powders control shine and provide oil-blotting. They are used after foundations to give a matt finish. Cake or compact powders are more heavily formulated; as they contain a certain amount of foundation, these are not the best choice for the initial powdering over foundation because they may rub the foundation off and also cause an unattractive colour build-up. They are best used for touching up during the day, when they help to reinforce coverage.
