Tips to Making Your Makeup Look Sexy

By: Stefani Partin

The best tip to success with makeup is DO NOT wear too! Most
men love women who look good without it. Wearing makeup
can be fun! So use it, don't abuse it. Use your makeup to enhance
the features on your face such as your eyes and your lips.

Foundation users, make sure you are using foundation that
matches your skin color. Blend your foundation giving it a
smooth look. For best results wash face and dry. Apply a small
amount of foundation. Let dry for a 1-2 minutes, then apply a
powder.

As for your powder, use one that matches your skin color and
don't use too much. Blend your powder well to make sure you
have no traces showing of your foundation. It is common to have
a line on the side of your face, get out a mirror and make sure
yours looks good.

Now we will move to the subject of the lips. Use lip liner and use
lipstick. The lip liner makes the lipstick look SEXY. Apply the lip
liner onto the natural line of your lip. When applying it, start at
the center of your upper lip and draw a line to each outer corner.
If you want your lipstick to stay longer, apply a small amount of
your powder on your lips prior to applying the lipstick. When
applying the lipstick stretch your lips and start at the center of
lips and glide the it to each slide. You may then want to blot it
with a tissue and reapply.

Lastly, we will give you some tips on applying eyeliner, mascara
and eye shadow. For eyeliner users, use a small line. If you apply
too thick of line, it will make you look overdone and will take
the focus off the rest of your makeup. Don't forget the mascara.
Use it to enhance your eyes and your eyelashes. Make sure it is
applied to the eyelashes smoothly and has no clumps. When it
comes to eye shadows, the colors you choose are going to be
completely on your and your style. If you are not sure at first,
start out using the neutral colors like browns and tans. You can
apply some brown on your eyelid and use a lighter shade on the
upper section of your eye. Experiment and blend two colors
together to come up with something you think looks good on you.

So now you have some basic makeup tips, start practicing and
soon you will find some looks that make you look great. Remember
to limit your use of makeup because too much just might make you
look silly.
