The Importance of Blusher

The Importance of  blusher

Now ladies the blusher is important as any other makeup product or step of application

The Importance of  Blusher
Clear toned skin

blusher

Don’t leave it out because your makeup will look incomplete
Here are some practical tips for you about the blushers.
Where to apply it and how?

Right on the cheekbones!

Don’t go on the top of the cheekbones with blusher!

Under your cheekbones will be your contour so again no…keep it exactly on the cheekbones.

The right blush can add a pop of color to your cheeks, instantly making you look younger, healthier and prettier. However, many women are unsure about the right type of blush to use and how exactly they should apply it. Choose a suitable color for your skin tone. When choosing a blush colour, it’s important to pick one that matches your natural skin tone.

1. This means that the color you pick should be as close as possible to the color your cheeks turn when you’re naturally flushed. Picking a color that doesn’t match your skin tone can cause your blush to look unnatural and even garish.

2. A good tip for identifying your natural coloring is to make a tight fist with your hand for about ten seconds. The color that develops across your knuckles is the ideal color for your blush!

3. In general, pale skin tones will work best with light pink which mimics their natural flush. For a more dramatic look, peaches and mochas can work well.

4. Sallower skin tones will do best with orange or reddish-pink blushes which brighten the skin, adding a healthy glow.

5. Dark skin tones can get away with vivid oranges, pinks and reds which add a pop of life and color.

Cocktail Makeup Look

Cocktail Makeup Look

A  Cocktail makeup application can be completed in 20 to 30 minutes. Why cocktail? This makeup look is perfect for dinner time, weddings or any occasion where we would like to have a little bit stronger makeup on. Its between the daytime and evening makeup look, but stronger then the daytime look but lighter and softer than the evening look.

Self Makeup

Lets see the steps:

  1. Cleanse, tone and moisturize: Wait a few minutes for moisturizer to be absorbed. Use primer if needed.
  2. Foundation: Dab liquid foundation over the entire face with your fingertips or sponge. For cream foundation use a wet sponge for a better and smoother coverage. Apply in thin layer over the entire face.

When you applying the foundation, you must ensure that you got the right colour. Choose 3 colours which are close to your skin colour. Apply a line on the face from each colour near to the jaw line. The colour which blends into your skin colour and its invisible that is the right foundation for you. Don’t try the foundations on the hands, its not helpful about choosing the right colour, because the skin on the hands are not the same as on your face, its not the same colour as your face and the skin on the face is more sensitive.

Make sure that the entire face is well blended and covered. Dont stop at the jaw line extend the foundation under it also and on the neck. If your first coat of foundation does not cover well, apply a second or third. Layering is always better in the makeup artistry than an initial heavy application.

  1. Corrector / concealer : Cover blemishes and dark areas with orange, yellow or peach-toned

corrector. The concealer will conceal the corrector colour, what is in skin colours. Application with fingertips or concealer brush.

  1. Powder: Use a loose pale yellow-based powder or translucent dusting powder to set the makeup. Apply with a brush, for dry skin dust only around the nose and forehead since these areas t to be a little richer in oils.
  2. Eyebrows: Shape the brows with a small amount of brow powder or pencil. If you have a dark hair, using a colour that is one or two tones lighter than the hair colour. Use a golden brown or light brown shade if you have a fair skin complexion.
  3. Eye shadow: Choose three shades of eye shadow: light, medium and dark. Use the dark to line the upper lid, thinly, along the lash edge. Use medium shade to cover the remaining part of the eye lid up to the crease. Use the lightest shade for the area between the crease and the brow. You can highlight the eyes by using the darkest shade in the crease of the eye, and/or to stretch the eye shadow along the lid out toward the temple and blend the colour.

In this makeup look we can go with a stronger eye makeup. By applying a touch of black in the outer corner of the eye will give deepness to our look. The highlighter can be pearl shine (shimmer) to give a bit of glamour to our eye makeup look.

  1. Eyeliner: Use cake liner and apply with an angled or fine liner brush, or use a sharpened eyeliner pencil. In general apply a black, dark brown, dark grey/black, eyeliner in a thin line at the base of the lashes. Start at the edge of the upper lashes.
  2. Mascara: Black mascara is the best to highlight your lashes. Apply in two thin coats rather than one heavy one. If you are deciding to curl your lashes do it before you applying mascara.
  3. Blush: Apply the blush directly on the cheekbones and blend it to the hairline. You can add a little shimmer on the top of the cheekbones if you want to emphasize them.
  4. Lip liner: Apply lip liner in advance of lip colour as the lip liner helps contain the lipstick, keeps it from feathering, and makes it more durable. Remember that symmetry is beauty. Use your lip liner to improve the symmetrical look of the lips with the right side being the mirror image of the left. Try also to make upper and lower lips appear to be equal thickness.
  5. Lipstick: Neutral shades and sheer formulas are perfect for a daytime look. Use a lip brush to apply dark or bright colour’s since these require very precise application. Add a dot of a gloss to the centre of the bottom lip and then blot. Make sure no lipstick sticks to the teeth.

Skincare and makeup steps

(Products and tools)

 

 

“I believe that when one look at a face, you should notice the face, not the make-up. Make-up should be there to enhance the face, not to cover it up. It should not attempt to cover and conceal and change a woman’s beauty. It should bring out It’s best features and make the most of it. it should be about harmony with life and nature.”

 

Healthy glowing skin is the dream of every woman. How to achieve it? We need to take care of our skin. Clean it properly day by day and moisturize it.Certified Makeup Artist

Skin care steps:

  1. Cleaning (wet wipes, cleansing milk, gel, micellar water etc)
  2. Toning (the toner cleans up the skin perfectly, refreshes it and closes the pores)
  3. Moisturizing the skin (day cream with SPF, vitamins and anti-aging)

 

Make-up application steps:

  1. Primer (if needed depends of the type of foundation) (application with fingers or foundation brush)
  2. Foundation application (liquid, cream, stick depends of the skin type) (application with sponge, foundation brush, stippling brush)

    discolorations. Green –red, yellow-violet, orange, peach – blue)(application with fingers or with concealer brush)

  3. Concealer – after the colour correction we need to cover up the corrected areas. The concealers are always in our skin tone. (ivory, beige, sand, etc)(application with fingers or concealer brush)
  4. Fixing powder – lose powder or translucent powder is for the fixing the foundation to get the matte and smooth finish. For the touch ups we are using the compact powder. (application with a powder brush or with powder puff)
  5. Filling up the eyebrows – we want to achieve the perfectly done and natural eyebrows. We are using eye shadows (matte) in lighter shade than the eyebrow colour, application with an angled brush.
  6. Application of the mascara ( 2 layers – it can be the same mascara or 2 different kinds of mascara, application from the roots to the top.)
  7. Blusher or bronzer application – on the cheek bone – blended, with a blusher brush.

  • When you are applying foundation, you must ensure that you got the right colour. Choose 3 colours which are close to your skin colour. The foundation that appears invisible to the eye is the correct colour. Apply a line on the face from each colour near to the jaw line. Don’t try the foundations on the hands, because the skin on the hands are not the same as on your face, the skin on the face is more sensitive.
  • Make sure that the entire face is well blended and covered. Don’t stop at the jaw line extend the foundation under it also and on the neck. If your first coat of foundation does not cover well, apply a second or third. Layering is always better in the makeup artistry than an initial heavy application.

Corrector / concealer:

  • Cover blemishes and dark areas with orange, yellow or peach-toned
  • Corrector: The concealer will conceal the corrector colour, what is in skin colours. Application with fingertips or concealer brush.
  • Contouring and highlighting
  • Powder: Use a loose pale yellow-based powder or translucent dusting powder to set the makeup. Apply with a brush, for dry skin dust only around the nose and forehead since these areas tend to be a little richer in oils.

The highlighter can be pearl shine (shimmer) to give a bit of glamour to our eye makeup look. In the evening we want to look glamorous, sexy and beautiful.

Powder or Foundation?

What shall i choose? Powder or Foundation, what is better? How often did you ask yourself this question? Lets look into the topic slightly deeper. Right choice based on the skin needs.  Matter fact quite often i choose to work with both products.

 What does foundation do? 

Foundations have different textures such as liquid and creamy and help to build proper coverage.  Thickness of the layer depends on features each any any products.  For instance, i suggest to use foundation if you need to cover any imperfections, scars, acne, pimples and etc.  As a suggestion i can name few my Favorite foundations: Lancome Tint idol, Shiseido Skin Glow, Estee Lauder.  

What does powder do?

However  i find foundations more useful, lets have a look at powders.  Therefore Modern manufactures produce compacts in powder form. Powders provide less coverage. The main goal of powder is achiving equal skin colour,matte effect and smooth relief. If you are looking for stronger coverage powder won’t be able to achieve this effect.  Top my must have powders: Laura Mercier, Hourglass, Charlotte Tilbury, Becca, Sensai, Shiseido 

I personally recommend  to you both products at the same time. Foundation will help you to hide any kind of imperfections (of course don’t forget about skin prep) and in addition fix foundation with translucent powder. In conclusion powder is just an assistant product but not a individual product.

I strongly suggest to follow the basic steps of make up to achieve perfect skin tone 🙂

What is your favourite products?   

Feel free to contact us if you want to know more about best tips and tricks in make up.
