How to Apply Lipstick

Applying lipstick after drawing a crisp lip outline is an important key in the finishing touch since it helps to keep the color from bleeding. If you have pouting lips: paint out the dip. Accentuate the depth of the upper lip. A slightly darker shade for the lowerlip, drawn a little within the natural contour of the lip. If you want a glossy look, use a lip-gloss.But take care not to take the glossright outside the outer line of the lips. You can use lipstick to camouflage the short coming of your mouth. If your lips are small, then draw a line outside the natural line and if your lips are too thick, the line should be drawn inside. A dark colour will make the lips appear smaller while a bright or light colour will do the opposite. If the lower lip is thicker than the upper one, apply a darker colour on the lower one and its shade on the upper lip. Lipsticks that work best are those that have some of your skin's natural tones in their colour such as a blue-pinks or yellow- browns. Some Tips on applying lipstick properly:

HOW TO APPLY FOUNDATION

Foundation is always applied downwards, to minimize the impact of facial hair.

• Take out a small blob of foundation on the palm of your hand. As foundation dries up fast, dot foundation section by section on the face.
• Start by dotting on the forehead and blend well with a damp sponge on fingers before moving on.
• Now do it on your cheeks, then chin, nose and upper neck.

You may dilute the foundation by adding some astringent, toner or even water to make it sheer enough to let your skin show through.
