The Modern Art Of Face Makeup
Beautifying one`s own self has been the urge of both the sexes since civilization began. Face makeup has always been the most vital part of make over. To create an impression on others, women especially have done various types of face makeup to enhance the look. The style of makeup has undergone changes over the centuries but certain basic rules do remain the same.
There are certain steps to follow to do a good job with the makeup kit. The first step is to cleanse the face well with a cleanser so that excess oil and dirt can be removed. The makeup will set well if this is done. Before applying the base the face should be massaged well with a moisturizer. This will eliminate all chances of dryness.
For a proper face makeup the shape of the face must be taken into account first. A strong jaw line must be done in a way to conceal portion of the jaw with the help of the foundation. The foundation or the base of the face makeup must be carefully selected. This will depend on the complexion of the person. A lighter shade must be used for a person with a bright skin tone. It is important to see that the foundation is well blended with the skin. This is easily done with a bit of water added to the base.
The base must be left to dry for a while. For the summers you can apply a cold compression with ice over the face. This will set the makeup well. For the pimple prone face a water based foundation would be the most appropriate. The foundation must be applied in dots all over the face and then blended. The area under the eye must be treated softly so that it may not leave wrinkles.
The jutting jaws must be colored a shade darker to make them look even. For the face that is round use dark shades on the sides to give a narrow effect. The idea is to hide the defects and highlight the plus points of the face. The next step is to powder the face. There are different shades available. It is best to select the shade that is closest to the skin tone. It is important that the powder blends well with the skin just as the foundation does.
The eyes are the next vital aspects of a face makeup. Here again the shape of the eyes is important. The eye shadow that is applied on the upper eyelids should be a shade that suites the skin as well as the time of the day. Usually a strong makeup at night is appropriate while during the day the makeup is rather light.
The eye liner is used to out line the eyes giving them a prominent shape. For the eyes to look large a thin eye line is the best. For the opposite effect the liner could be a thicker line. This also lends the eyes a dramatic look.
The mascara is then applied over the eye lashes to make it appear longer. They definitely look richer and make the eyes seem bigger. The eye brow may be simply brushed or darkened with an eye brow pencil. The final touch comes with the rouge that lends the face its color and radiance. The rouge can be cream or powder. Soft touches of it to highlight or subdue the cheeks are needed. The art of face makeup needs long practice to bring perfection. The best makeup is done in natural light.

I don’t know why so many people are being so rude to you… =/
I think you should have a few layers around your face, you might even consider getting it a /little/ shorter. Up to you though.
As for makeup I think you should go with either a clear gloss or a very light pink gloss for the lips, dark-ish brown eyeliner but just put it on the bottom if you don’t know how to apply it to the top and for eyeshadow I think you should just wear a very light shade maybe a light brown.
As for foundation I think you should use pressed powder, CoverGirl is a good brand for powder.
Hope that helps

side bangs, get rid of the choppy look that only works for way high fashion…go to a nice salon in ur area and get layers, side bangs, and ask them for alot of texture. Also, use eyeliner and mascara, a little bronzing powder, some rosey pink blush and youll be good. That’s what I do and it works for most people, i think youd look good w it

I think thinning out your eyebrows would completely change your look. I think shorter hair with layers and a longer side bang would also fit you.

You look lovly i’m 19 only just! and i look about 15!
I wouldn’t get it shorter sometimes a bob like cut will work but i don’t think with your face shape(no offence intended just trying to see what would suit better) maybe would any lighter blusher suite? I would aviod natural or pale colours maybe think about gold,silver, white, purple colours around the eyes. I think if you curled you hair it would make you look younger

Ignore those mean comments :/
Firstly I would style your hair around your face so get it layered and then feathered and also you could try straightening it too! If you want you could try for some non-permanent highlights to see if you like it- choose a light colour to go with your face!!
For make-up I would definately use some light pink blusher as this goes with the skin tone of your skin and try some light blue eyeshadow- and use mascara & eyeliner! Outline your eyes as they are really nice eyes and it will make them bolder..
Good luck
Luv Chanelle xx

Uggghhh ignore all those who are being generally unhelpful. I think you’ve got a great face and could go short with a block fringe. Go to toni and guy (director level) for the first hair cut to ensure you get it done right the first time and ask for their advice, then go to a lower level after (cheaper) to maintain it. You may need to invest in GHDs though, a girls best friend. For make up; you could do just about anything – go into any mac shop and ask for their advice, try their smoke green eyeshadows perhaps? They should sit you down and give you a consultation and try out as much as you like for free.
My advice is to consult, consult, consult – people who can see you in the flesh with good reputations.

If you willing to cut your hair then you should cut it to like your shoulder but to a length where you can still put it in a high ponytail. Also if you use eyeliner and mascara but not a lot then that may help. Obviously don’t use like lipstick but if you use like a really light lipgloss and lipliner then that should really work.
