Improving Facial Features with Make Up

How does one make a round face look slimmer?
Using a back and forth motion with the brush, apply blush wher e the hollow of your check should be. (Suck in your jaws while looking in the mirror to find the right place for the blush) Make sure your eyebrow line is extended to the proper length. Too short a line will enhance the roundness. Wear your hair straight and close to your face.

Minimizing a double chin
Apply a bronzing powder on both sides of the neck. It will give the illusion of a long neck. Be sure to apply blush on your cheeks to draw attention away from the neck. Wear your hair longer in a layered style to help cover part of the neck.

The best way to cover freckles
Choose a foundation that offers medium or full coverage. This will hide your freckles. Choose a color of the foundation that is lighter than the freckles, but darker than your skin tone. Also be sure to blend the foundation very well at the chin so that you don’t have a distinctly visible make-up line.

How does one remove blemish scars or age spots?
It’s very important to first find a good bleaching cream and use it faithfully. Over time, these spots will fade.

Minimize your red eyes
A lot of people complain of redness in their eyes. Excessive usage of the computer and not adequate rest to your eyes can create puffiness and dark circles.

Apply cool cotton compresses to closed eyes. Always use an alcohol-free toner or, if you prefer natural therapy, opt for cucumber slices.

While applying make-up, apply a neutral colored eye shadow. Wear waterproof mascara in black or black-brown shades. Then, use a bright blue pencil to line your lower lashes. This will brighten your eyes and create a sense of drama.

Making a large, wide nose appear smaller…
Apply a bronzing powder down both sides of the nose. Try wearing a different hairstyle too. Long hair with some waves helps make a nose appear narrower.

To make a long nose appear shorter...
Always apply a bronzing powder to the tip of the nose.

To make your nose look slimmer...
Use two different shades of foundation or concealer near in color to your own skin tone. Apply the darker shade on each side of your nose and blend out onto the cheeks slightly. Apply the lighter shade on the top part of your nose. Lightly blend the two shades together. Then apply a loose powder on top of this.

To make a short nose look longer...
Apply blush on the apples of your cheeks and bring the color strongly back towards your ear. You will get an optical illusion effect which will emphasize your nose. To draw attention away from your nose, make your eyes look gorgeous. Everyone will notice your eyes. Soften a pronounced nose (skinny) by wearing your hair below your ears (short to medium length) so your hair is fuller around your cheeks.
