With the festive season on head,you are all geared up to look your very best. Be it for the morning affair or for a late night party! Here are some tips that might help you:-
You are likely to be eating throughout the day while you are relishing your favourite festival. To make your lipstick last longer; fill in the entire lip with a neutral pencil before applying colour. During the day skip mascara on the lower lashes entirely – it can end up looking too dramatic.For the most natural looking eyeliner use a powder liner, which is highly pigmented and apply with a liner brush or an angle brush.
Go for matte neutral toned eye shadows for your day look and save your shimmery ones for the evening.For a glowing sheen, apply a pink blush then blend a drop of liquid highlighter onto the cheeks.For extra natural looking skin, try a tinted moisturizer. Since its lightweight, it won’t cover up dark spots, blemishes or redness BUT it will even out skin tone.
To keep liquid foundation from fading, mix it with a drop of sweat-proof sunblock, and then smooth it on. It will last all night, even if you sweat up a storm.Make cheek colour last longer by choosing a blush that is the same texture as your foundation. Liquid on liquid, cream on cream or powder on powder.Concealer should always follow foundation; if you put it on first and then blend foundation, the foundation will cover up the concealer. If you are worried about wrinkles being enhanced after putting on foundation mix a bit of concealer with a bit of eye cream so it won’t settle into the lines.
Got a pimple! Don’t worry, hide your blemish with an oil free concealer that has salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide, or sulfur to treat while you conceal.For rich pigmented eye shadow that will last you throughout the night, wet your shadow brush and use it to apply your shadow on your eyelids.
The wet brush intensifies the color and will help the powder to stick.Apply your eyeliner after you apply your eye shadow; shadow can make the liner look dull so it’s best to do it a second time for the most impact.For extra-thick lashes dust them with translucent powder, then apply mascara.For the most intense color, matte lipsticks are the way to go. They are saturated with pigment and no shine.
Be all set to look drop dead gorgeous and rock it this Festive Season!
