Make-UpTips

  1. Put a very small amount moisturizer on your face before applying makeup.
  2. Men should also use foundation makeup if needed to create a more even skin tone or to camouflage dark under-eye circles.
  3. Use a concealer to hide any darkness under the eyes. Choose a concealer at least one shade lighter than your make-up foundation.
  4. Powder takes away the shine and helps “set” makeup foundation.
  5. For your eyes, use a neutral color for the base shade which you should apply to the entire eye-lid. Add an accent color and blend well for a natural look.
  6. Apply a highlight color to the top of the eye-lid to add a subtle contrast.
  7. Fill in eyebrows lightly and add a little length to the ends.
  8. Mascara is the perfect finishing touch for the eyes.
  9. Apply a little blush and blend well.
  10. Lip-liner defines the shape of your lips and provides a barrier for runny lipstick. Pick a lipstick color that is close to the color of the liner for a natural clean look. Men, if lipstick is required for the shot, choose a color closest to the natural color of your lips.
