Women like to invest hundreds to thousands of dollars a year on makeup and cosmetic products. From foundation to blusher to lipstick, there are several items in your makeup kit that you like to use all the time. However, despite the many makeup tricks in the beauty world, experts believe that there are only three major makeup rules to which all women should live by. These tips apply to women of all ages, skin types or skin tones.
Rule #1: Always test in natural lighting.
Do not be tricked into buying makeup products using department store lighting. Focus on items that naturally illuminate your skin and face. The same way that you must apply your makeup products using natural light, it is also important to test them using natural light. This will enable you to find the perfect match for your skin.
If you are buying makeup products, it is important to know your natural skin tone. For more info on identifying your natural skin tone, read this article.
Rule #2: Eyes OR lips.
The idea is to make either your lips or your eyes the focal point of your makeup. If you are going with a smokey or metallic eye, try to keep your lips low-key with a nude lipstick. Or, if you are going for a bold red lipstick, go for an au naturel eye makeup look.
When you use bold colours on both your eyes and lips, it could clash and make your whole look a little too overdone.
Rule #3: Always strive for a beautiful complexion.
This is a basic yet very important rule to remember when doing your own makeup. Find products that enhance and complement your natural complexion. A good foundation and concealer is an important investment in your makeup kit – make sure to invest in the right one for your skin!
