Make your Makeup Chic

​Want to look chic and beautiful? Follow these tips to make your makeup chic everyday!

Foundation: While this seems like the easiest step in your makeup application, it is where the most mistakes occur. There is nothing worse than having your makeup not match your complexion!  Have a makeup artist at any makeup retailer test different shades on you, and teach you how to properly apply which ever type you choose. Loose powder creates the most natural look. If you want more coverage or a more distinctive look, apply liquid foundation with the proper application brush!  Once your face makeup is flawlessly applied and blended, move on to your cheeks!

Cheeks: Use a shiny lip gloss and gently rub it into your cheeks for a natural glow.  For a slightly more dramatic look apply a rose blush in a half moon shape liberally to your cheek bones. Don’t like the blush look? Apply a bronzer to look like you just got back from the beach!  Blend your cheeks with your regular makeup brush after application to ensure a more natural look! Now move on to your eyes.

Eyeshadow: Create that sexy smoky look by blending dark brown eye shadow around the crease of your eye. Thoroughly apply black eyeliner, and complete the look by smudging the liner to effortlessly blend the look together.  Apply a shimmery shadow or light colored lip gloss to the area directly under the eye brows to lighten and brighten your face.  Want to go for a more natural look? Apply a neutral brown all over your lids. Follow up with a natural shimmer, whether it’s an eyeshadow or bronzer to lighten the lids and give them a beautiful daytime look.  Always apply mascara liberally!  You are almost finished! Just finish off with your lips and you are ready to roll!

Lipstick: Layer your lipstick shades to create a new, fun color instead of buying new colors! Going for the chic classic red look? Blot powder in between your layers for a long lasting wear, and a bright matte color that can’t otherwise be achieved! Add some cayenne pepper as an all natural lip plumper too!
