APPLYING MAKE – UP

APPLYING MAKE – UP

At first, wash your face with water mixed with a pinch of soda-bicarbonate, and then smoothly rub the - face with ice-cubes.
Base-first: Make sure that you begin by moisturising your face thoroughly. Use a damp sponge to ensure smooth and even application, taking care not to pull the skin, especially around the delicate eye area. Blend to the edge of your hairline and below the jaw line.
Mix your own foundation: A common problem among dark-skinned women is that skin is darker across the brow and chin, and slightly lighter on cheeks. Even out the difference with 3 steps. The concealer colour which goes under the eyes should be light, but can also be used to lighten the dark forehead or chin area.
Medium (one shade darker than concealer) should be used as an all-over foundation, to blend pigmentation spots.
Dark foundation (2 shades darker than concealer) evens out the lightest areas. If you have a suntan, it becomes your all-over foundation colour.
Pan Stic: Apply pan stic like bindis and go on spreading uniformly all over your face. Apply it on your neck and ears as well.
Pancake: Apply pancake with a wet sponge and spread it slowly all over your face. Apply in such a way that there should not be any patch on the face. Apply it on the neck and ears too.
Loose-powder: For an even coverage, dust it over your face using a large, soft brush or a clean powder} puff.
