How To Put On Make Up
By Leeanne Utiger
If you are reading this, then you are obviously wanting to know how to put on make up.
I am going to go into detail about how to put on make up for two instances. Yes, we can all get tarted up at times (so to speak), yet for some or for certain times of the day, we do not need to be tarted up, nor do we need to be caked in make up. At the end of the day make up is not really all that good for our skin. So to begin with, I will advise that whenever you do wear any form of make up, that night or once you are home, you wash the make up off and re moisturise your face.
Firstly I am going to teach you how to put on make up if you are a teenager wanting to know how to put on make up for the first time. Now, as a teenager, you really do not have to plaster your face with make up. Not only should you have a natural glow to you, due to your youth, but I am sure your parent/s would not be too amused if you walked out the door looking like Marilyn Monroe or the latest made up model on the front of a glam magazine.
First of all, make sure you have washed your face, preferably with a suitable face wash. Then you will need to smooth over your entire face and neckline, down your throat a suitable moisturiser. Make sure the moisturiser you use prior to putting on make up has a sun factor of 30 in it. The sun factor within the moisturiser in the summer months will prevent your face from burning. Do not get sucked into the belief that because you have put make up on, you cannot possibly get a sunburnt face, for you can.
Once you have put on your moisturiser containing sunscreen, you are now ready to put on a light layer of foundation. By the way, the contents of any moisturiser or foundation can be found normally on the back of the packaging. You should also make sure that when you purchase a foundation to put on to your face, it also has a sunscreen factor in it. However, now that you are ready to put a foundation make up on to your face, firstly check that the color of the foundation, does in fact suit and blend in with your skin tone. You do not want to put on a make up that is way too dark for your skin. This will look absolutely hideous. You are wanting the foundation make up you put on to look as natural as possible. As a teenager, it is best to simply enhance your own natural glow. When you put the foundation make up on to your face, use either your fingertips or a soft sea sponge. A sea sponge can be purchases from any local pharmacy if you do not have one. On putting the foundation make up on, make sure you smooth it on in upwards motions. This will help the make up to spread better and go on more smoothly, leaving no room for splotches.
Once you have put on the foundation make up, you are ready to put on a light line of eyeliner. Try using a black/brown combination. This shade of color can actually be purchased as one eyeliner pencil. Try to avoid pure black, as this can make you look too hard, or even like a tramp. Take the eyeliner pencil in the hand you normally draw with, as this is basically all you are going to do. On the edge of your lower eyelid, draw a light line along, or if you prefer, just under the edge of your lower eyelid. Every female will in fact master their own technique of doing this. Now that you have put on some eyeliner makeup, you can if you choose, put on a little mascara. Mascara comes with a brush attached inside the pottle. You simply brush this over your eyelashes. Try to make sure there are no lumps or that the mascara is not gluggy. However mascara is not always a necessity, and really is a personal preference. Now last of all, all you need to do, is put on a light coverage of lip gloss. Lip gloss can come in a variety of colors, yet given your age, I recommend a clear or near to clear lip gloss coverage.
Now you have learnt how to put on make up for the first time. Not really that hard is it? The more often you put on make up, the easier it will become for you.
Now I will talk about being able to put on make up for daily wear, or in fact how to put on make up in less than five minutes. Now for any men that may be reading this for whatever reason, yes she laughs, it is possible!
I take it that you have already had your morning shower, and just want to have a slightly fresher looking face, or do not like the morning look, or simply feel naked without a little make up on your face.
All you simply have to do when wanting a daily dose of make up or to be able to put make up on in less than five minutes, is to have everything on hand. The more you have your bathroom and make up organised the less time it will take you to put make up on. Sometimes the harder we concentrate on putting on make up, the more difficulties we have with the task. So today, make up in less than five minutes is what you are going to be able to master.
Place your daily moisturiser cream on your face and throat as always. Simply place a little amount of foundation on your sea sponge and put on your make up as you normally would when heading out to some place fancy. However this time, you will not need to concentrate so hard, as you are only putting on a light coverage to get you through the day. Spread your foundation evenly. Now simply grab your eyeliner and efficiently do what you do every other morning, just not so pedantically. Forge the mascara, there is no need for this today. And do not bother looking at that rich red lipstick you wear to work. There is also no need for that today. Grab a lip gloss or even a lip balm. With a quick flick of your finger run some lip balm or lip gloss over your lips. Wollah - you have managed to put make up on in less than five minutes.
If you found that it took you longer than five minutes for this make up procedure, then practice, practice, practice. It really is easy to accomplish.
