Concealer - Your Best Friend?

Concealer - Your Best Friend?

By Raymond James

Make up is supposed to enhance your appearance; however this is not always the case. While it is true that following the correct procedures can make make-up work wonders, the opposite is true if the right techniques are not followed to the letter.

In order to help you avoid those embarrassing make-up moments, this article will focus on the don'ts when it comes to applying your make up.

I'll get right into it. One of the most common mistakes that many women are guilty of involves the use of inappropriate colors. It doesn't matter whether you messed up your eyebrow color, your foundation, blush or even lipstick. Fact remains that colors that clash with your skin tone only succeed in making you look ridiculous.

To avoid looking like a clown, always ensure that the make up you use matches your facial skin perfectly.

When it comes to applying concealer, the mistake that most women make is trying to camouflage dark spots or blemishes using a light shade of concealer.

The best concealer for any woman trying to hide dark spots shouldn't lighten the skin; it should neutralize the dark patches. In other words, these imperfections should be "concealed" by using contrasting colors depending on the dark spots that need to be covered.

Of course before you just can pin point a particular shade of color for your spots; you must endure a game of trial and error. Nobody said beauty comes easily. The same also applies when looking for the best concealer to cover dark circles under the eyes.

Speaking of eyes, many are taking the "smoky" look a little too far by applying too much eyeliner. Encircling the eyes with make up serves the purpose of drawing attention to your eyes. The kind of attention that you draw all depends on you. Picture the following scenario; a woman with very small eyes that show very little whites lining the top and bottom of her eyes, including the water line with lots of eyeliner. The result is nothing short of comical as only two big black dots are seen.

The general rule here is to draw a thicker line at the end of the eyeliner on the top of the lid with the objective being that the thicker line moving to the thicker outer lined areas will give the illusion of a bigger eye.

Walking around with left-over lipstick is not only embarrassing but also annoying. I must point out that there are no compromises when it comes to lipstick. If you want it to last longer you have to keep renewing it every few hours otherwise don't put it on at all if you feel you're not up to the task.

Lastly, avoid going to bed with your make-up on.

To answer your question; Yes! There is something wrong with sleeping with your make up. As we all know our skins are already rich in natural oils. When these oils are loaded onto other cosmetics that have been polluted by dirt during the day on to your skin; they will only be successful in blocking and clogging up your pores.

Think about that before you even think about sleeping with your make up.
