Posted on: August 27, 2012
We all know about different skin types and textures, but did you know that skin type can actually effect how makeup looks when applied? Skin type can also make the difference between one product application working wonders on one skin type while dragging down another.The Importance of Moisturizer
Every makeup artist knows achieving beauty all starts with the right skincare agenda. For dry skin types, applying moisturizer as a primer is a must. Make sure the moisturizer is absorbed into the skin and not just beading on the surface. Once the skin is moistened, you can apply liquid foundation to even out the skin tone and mask imperfections. It doesn't matter how light or dark a skin tone is, moisturizing is the universal beauty principle.
Turn Oily into Oo La La
Oily skin is a big problem for a lot of women. Unfortunately, oily skin is often accompanied by pimples and red spots. The trick to giving less-than-perfect skin a flawless look is to neutralize the irritated areas. This can be achieved by dabbing problem areas with a cover-up or correcter that is a few shades lighter than a person's skin color. The pale cover will neutralize the red and effectively white it out. Once the red coloring is under control, you can apply liquid concealer that blends with a person's natural skin tone. The problem area will virtually disappear. Another trick is to use the same method, except instead of a pale shade of cover-up, us a specialized green concealer which has a super-neutralizing effect.
Beauty Tips for Everyday Glamor
Once you have skin under control, you can start to create a sophisticated, glamorous look. The principle behind all makeup tips is that you always want to focus on one feature at a time. If you are going to play up the eyes with dark, smokey kohl liner, you must leave the lips a neutral shade. To keep lips neutral while still adding some wow-factor, opt for earthy tones such as coffees, taupes, and pearl pinks. If the lips are the intended focal point, lavish them in a bold color and accentuate the eyes with a modest coat of mascara and a gentle swipe of black liner on the top lid only.
