Easy Tricks To Do Professional Makeup

61. The False Eyelash Look
False lashes can be a pain, not to mention time consuming. Here are a few ways to get the look without the hassle 1. After curling your lashes, apply a thin layer of powder before applying your mascara. I just sweep a small blending brush across my compact and apply it to the top and bottom of my eyelashes. Ive also heard that some people use baby powder, although I think they both have virtually the same effect; creating a base that makes them appear much fuller. 2. Apply two coats of mascara to the bottom and TOP side of your lashes, but wait 35 minutes in between each coat, otherwise they tend to get clumpy not cute. 3. When applying your mascara, you dont want to just move your mascara wand from the base of your lashes up. Make sure you are moving the mascara wand back and forth while going up. The left and right motion will make sure every lash is covered entirely, all the way to the tip. 4. Almost done. Now, check your lashes for any gaps. Use the tip of your wand to apply another coat of mascara to individual lashes where they look sparse. Even better, use a fine tipped liquid eyeliner to fine tune and fill in any gaps.
62. Lash Curling Secret
Get the most out of your lash curler by pinching at the very base of your lashes, and then lifting the curler up into an inverted position. This creates double the curl and lasts much longer.
63. Heat Your Lash Curler
Hold a blow dryer up next to your lash curler for about 35 seconds. The heat works the same way as it does with your curling iron, giving you those flirty lashes that will last all day.
64. The Perfect Match
This is the one thing that no matter how well its applied, if its the wrong color, it will look terrible. We all dread that our foundation will give us a ghost face or even worse, that dreaded orange jaw line. Because your neck isnt exposed to the sun as much as your face, it is much better for matching your true color.
65. Business Card Trick
When applying mascara, hold a business card behind your lashes and apply it in a back and forth motion starting at the roots. You can really put it on this way, coating every lash fast.
66. Secret Eye Lift
Sweep a light pink matte pencil across the entire length of your brow bone to create the illusion of a higher arch, and then blend, blend, blend. It should not be detectable.
67. Proper Contouring
When applied right, contouring can define your cheekbones and jaw line, reduce the look of a double chin, minimize a larger nose, and lift sagging eyes. Its basically using makeup to highlight and accentuate your features. This is especially important for photos, as the camera tends to pick up shadows and highlights better than the naked eye.There are actual contouring and highlighting powders made just for this, but you can also use a bronzer or powder that is a few shades darker than your skin, and a foundation that is a few shades lighter for highlighting. For the most part, your tzone and under eye area is where you want to highlight, and the outer portion of your face, underneath your cheekbones, and your neck is where you want to define with a darker color. Keep in mind, blending is key for a natural look. This may take some practice at first.
68. The Line Saver
Im always checking my eye makeup in the case that my eyeliner isnt in its original place. Certain eyeliners are more prone to this, especially those that arent water proof, but I dont like using waterproof makeup because its so darn hard to get off. I always feel like Im ripping my lashes off in the removal process. To keep your liner behaving, sweep loose or pressed powder right under the eye liner on your bottom lid. It creates somewhat of a barrier, preventing your eyeliner from traveling downward.
69. The Lip Cheat
As it turns out, we werent all blessed with Angelina Jolies lush lips. Now, there are a few tricks to making them appear larger a glossy lip being one, but for a more dramatic effect, dont be afraid to line your lips just outside of your natural line. When I say just outside of your natural line, I mean slightly. You dont want to look like a clown by over doing it.
70. Downward Strokes
Although you want to wash your face and apply your moisturizer with upwards strokes to help lessen fine lines and a sagging face, the opposite is true for foundation and powder. Most of us have a little bit of hair on our face, and it tends to grow downwards. If you apply your makeup with upward strokes, it will cause your peach fuzz to stick strait up, making it more noticeable.
