REVEALED: 10 Easy
Makeup Tips To Help
You Fake Flawless
Skin.... Very few people have absolutely
flawless skin and, even those who do,
sometimes wake up to find that they
have a pimple, a blemish, or dark
circles under the eyes, which have
mysteriously appeared overnight. That’s why everyone needs to have a
few tricks up their sleeves and know
how to camouflage those
imperfections with makeup. Here are
ten easy to follow makeup tips that will
help you fake flawless skin when you need to. 1. Apply moisturiser with SPF Before you apply any make-up at all,
use a moisturiser that contains SPF all
over your face. Even if you are going
to apply more makeup after it, you still
need to protect your skin from the sun
with SPF. Moisturiser will also make it much easier to apply your makeup,
because it will help things like
concealer glide on more smoothly. 2. Apply primer Another important tip on how to get
flawless skin is to use makeup primer.
After you have moisturised, and left a
little bit of time for the moisturiser to
settle in, apply a light primer. Use a
primer that contains silicone and that will have a filling effect and it won’t get
creased in any fine lines and wrinkles.
Only use a small amount of primer,
though, because too much, and it will
make lines and wrinkles more visible. 3. Hide dark circles with
concealer Apply concealer, but only to the areas
of skin where you need it, like
blemishes, or dark circles under the
eyes. Apply it in light stripes over the
areas that you need to and then blend
it in well with your fingers. We would suggest that you use a creamy primer
that matches your skin tone and not as
some people say, one that is one tone
lighter. If your concealer is a lighter
tone than your skin, it can show up as
odd looking light patches on your skin. 4. Choose your foundation
carefully To get a natural looking flawless look,
it’s best to pick a fairly light, liquid
foundation that contains silicon. Avoid
matte, or luminous foundations,
because they can have the effect of
making your face look either too flat to be real, or too moist. You may have to
experiment until you find the
foundation that is just right too,
because, some of the sheer, or very
lightweight foundations may not give
you enough coverage. 5. Apply foundation sparingly One of important tips on how to get
flawless skin is to avoid using too
much foundation. To apply foundation,
dab dots, about the size of a small
pea, as follows: place one on the tip of
your nose, and one on each side, dab one dot on your chin, and two dots on
your forehead. Then, blend the
foundation with the tips of your fingers,
always blending sideways or
downwards. Never blend upwards,
because that can cause the makeup to get caught up in, and lift up, the fine
hairs on your skin. 6. Blend foundation outwards,
towards the edge of your face As you blend the foundation, always
work gradually outwards, towards the
outside edges of your face. If you
work that way, it will make the
foundation sheerer as you get towards
your hairline and jawline, so it will stop you having any noticeable, unnatural
looking lines. 7. Use a damp sponge to smooth
out any excess To make the base look flawless, you
may need to remove any excess
makeup so that it doesn’t settle into
lines in your skin and emphasise them.
Take a slightly damp makeup sponge
and dab it gently on any areas of your face that you can see that you have
too much makeup and especially on
your nose and any lines or wrinkles.
Use a sponge that has a pointed end
and then you will find it easier to get at
the edges around your nose. 8. Hide any small imperfections Next good tip on how to get flawless
skin is to use concealer to hide small
imperfections, instead of covering your
entire face with multiple layers of
foundation. If you have any small
imperfections that are still visible after you’ve applied your foundation, apply a
small amount of concealer with a fine
tipped brush only to these areas. To
hide any redness, use makeup with a
yellow base and smooth it over any
discoloured areas of skin. You can then blur the edges by using a damp
makeup sponge again. 9. Apply blush To give your face a natural glow, apply
some blush to the apples of your
cheeks and then blend it upwards with
your fingers, in the direction of your
temples. If you find that you have
applied too much blush and you don’t want to start all over again, try
applying some more foundation over
the top of the blush to tone it down a
little bit. 10. Apply powder To help you avoid getting shiny skin,
apply some translucent powder to your
forehead, cheeks and nose. Dip a
large soft brush in the powder, tap it to
remove any excess, and then gently
dust the areas where you are most prone to shine. What are your best makeup tips
