Learn how to brighten your eyes, paint your lips, hide dark circles and other basic makeup that women do wrong without knowing it.
Women put on makeup every day, for us it is something so daily and we do it so mechanically that if they tell us «hey, you’re doing it wrong», we are very surprised. As it turns out, there is indeed a better way to…
-Conceal dark circles: Smearing your lower eyelid with concealer is not enough; The best way to apply it is by drawing an inverted triangle from the base of the eye towards your cheek, thus hiding dark circles while lighting up your cheekbones.
-Illuminate the look: What we normally do is apply powder highlighter or simply white or yellow shadows under the eyebrow and in the tear duct… Well, no! The most effective way is to make light pencil strokes of concealer on the inner “V” of the center section of the lid and just below the brow bone.
-Delineate the eyes: A new eye pencil draws strong, dark lines, but over time it kind of loses its tone and we have to touch up our makeup every once in a while. To make a correct eyeliner you must, believe it or not, put a candle to the tip of your pencil for a second; let cool for 15 seconds then apply normally.
And as for the bottom lineit turns out that you should not apply it inside the eyelid, but outside and preferably brown, like this:
-Put on eyelash: The secret of thick and populated eyelashes is, nothing more and nothing less, than the powder. Before the eyelash, apply face powder or baby powder on your eyes with your eyelids closed, you will see the difference when you put on your makeup.
-Apply smudged shadows: What we usually do is put a small amount of shadows on the brush… Well, no! The easiest way to get that smoky eye makeup is to draw a ‘#’ symbol on your upper lid and then blend it out.
-Make you “cat eyes”: Feline-type eye makeup requires you to make a long line on your eyelid, and with the maraquero pulse that some of us send ourselves, as difficult, right? We tell you that the best way to do it is with masking tape as a guide. Position the edge of the tape in line with your lower lash line and angle the top toward the end of your brow. One tip, take some of the glue off the tape against your clothes before putting it on your face.
-Paint your lips to make them plump: To achieve a more sensual mouth, we usually wear bright colors such as red or a lot of glitter… Well, no! What we have to do is apply with the little finger a vertical strip of concealer in the center of the lips and then apply makeup normally.
Do you know any other way to do well what we all do wrong in terms of our makeup?
