How do you apply your make up???

I don't like the way I apply my make-up. I don't use that much but I want to look more professional for my job. Can anyone give detailed instructions on applying make-up and what order to do everything? Thanks in advance!!How do you apply your make up???
First you always want to start with foundation. There is the choice of liquid, creme, or powder. I prefer creme using a cosmetic sponge and simply creates an even tone across your face. liquid can be slowly placed all over your face little by little. Power is just a loose dusting used with a large blush brush. Make sure you lightly and evenly spread the foundation other wise your skin will be lighter of darker than the skin on your neck.





Next is concealer. Use a very small amount of liquid concealer to cover problem areas like red spots and blemiches. It may take 1-2 coats to cover the problem area but do not put too much on otherwise it will just stand out more. It should be one shade lighter than your foundation so you can put on the multiple coats with out having a dark spot in the middle of your face.





Next is blush. Most women perfer to use the powder blush. spin the blush brush into a blush. Then lightly bang the brush to knock of exess powder. Sweep blush downward from the ear to mid-cheek, beginning in line with the top of the ear and ending at the end of the apple of your cheek. Choose a color that suits you skin. If you have pale skin like me you should get a fairly light pink. if your skin is a medium tone you should have a clay red(almost like a brown red) If you have olive or darker then you should stick to brown or bronze color. TO help blend the blush color and create a finished look take a small bit of foundation and lightly sweep it over the blush area.





Your eyes should be the focal point. Eye liner is simple and just follows your eyelashes. Don't put it on heavy unless you want to look like a raccoon. If you have a difficult time putting eyeliner on you upper lid the just use mascara. Use the new covergirl lash exact masacra because it won't come out chunky. Place the brush at the roots of the lashes and shake it back and fourth to catch every lash. Then pull up following the lashes. If you want a fuller lash look take a clean lash wand and comb through the lashes after you put on the mascara. Then apply another coat of masacra. Repeat until satisfied just make sure you don't have too many lashes sticking together it will look unnatural. DO NOT put mascara on the lower lashes it will have too wide of an eye and look kinda scary.





For eyeshadow I recommend using 3 shades. It doesn't matter if the shades are in the same color family. So silver and purple can be put together it's just a matter of practice. For beginners I would simply use a grey, black, or brown. The darkest part of the shadow should be placed along the lash line. Then take the brush and sweep it up towards your brow line. FOr a subtle effect let the eyeshadow blend into your own skin so that as the shadow goes up it will get lighter. If you want to use more than one shade the darkest shade should be along the lash line the medium shade should be on your entire lid and the lightest shade should go from your crease to the brow. here are a few examples of what it should look like when finished.

And last is lipstick. There really is no way to explain lipstick it is self explanitory. FInding the right shade can take a while and is nothing I can tell you. FOr the fastest way to find you lipstick shade go to a cosmetics counter at a mall they can tell you what will suit you. Don't use too much lip liner and if you do it shouldn't be too much darker than your lipstick. Blend the two together when done. If you do not have full lips use the lightest frostiest color that suits you to make them fuller.





I hope this helps if you need anything else I found a site that has more tips. http://www.applymakeup.com/index.aspHow do you apply your make up???
1. Prepare your face by washing it and applying a lotion so that your face doesn't dry out and get that mid-day shine. Apply lotion with your middle and ring finger so as not to tug the skin and create wrinkles.


2. Apply a concealer one shade lighter than your skin on blemishes and dark circles. Blend into the skin gently with your ring or middle finger.


3. There are many types of foundation available, so pick one that is right for you. If you have oily skin, I would reccomend a powder foundation to soak up oil and give a matte finish. If you have dry skin, use an oil free liquid foundation or tinted moisturizer. If you have normal skin, any foundation can really work for you, so pick what you like. When applying liquid foundation, it is best to use a foundation brush or makeup sponge to acheive the most natural and blended finish. Make sure to blend into your neck and hairline. When putting on powder foundation, use a powder brush to get the best results.


4. If you are looking to add color to your face, blush or bronzer are the best options. When choosing a bronzer, pick one that looks close to the color of your skin when you get a bit of a tan. For blush, choose one that is closest to the color your cheeks turn when you are embarassed or work out. To apply blush, smile and brush onto the apples of your cheeks (If you are using a liquid or cream blush, do the same by blending well onto the apples of your cheeks). Bronzer, brush lightly onto your cheekbones, bridge of your nose, forehead, and chin, which are all places that the sun hits first when you get a tan.


5. Apply a neutral eyeshadow on your lids, such as brown, peach, gray, or plum. If you are have a problem with your eyeshadow creasing, you don't need to buy a fancy eyeshadow base. Using chapstick will work just as well, and is about $20 cheaper!


6. Rim your eyes with a brown, black, gray, or plum eyeliner to make them pop and make you seem more awake. Do not put too much on, or this can have a reverse effect and make you look dead.


7. Using an eyelash curler, curl your lashes and apply mascara. The hunt for the best mascara can be a tricky one, as the most expensive ones don't mean the best ones. Some of my favorites are DiorShow, Lancome Hypnose, Loreal Voluminous, Clinique High Impact, and Maybelline Volume Express.


8. Lastly, apply a lipstick (or gloss) close to your natural lip color (Either a bit lighter or a bit darker) and your set to go!
1. Take a shower or wash your face to get clean with no bacteria. You don't want your face to be icky and sticky.


2. Put on moisturizer to smooth out your skin.


3. Slick on some chapstick to smooth and soften your lips before you put lip color on.


4. Apply the concealer.


5. Powder your face for an even toned look.


6. Apply eyeshadow(optional).


7. Apply eyeliner


8. Apply mascara.


9. Apply lip color(optional).


10. Powder blush on.(optional)
Don't use more than you need. Makeup is for enhancing, not hiding anything.





If you wear foundation to hide bad skin, go see a dermatologist and fix your skin.





All you need for your eyes is to curl your lashes (first), put on eyeshadow next (try neutral colors beiges, browns, peaches etc), then apply 1-2 coats of mascara.





On your lips go for a neutral gloss or lipstick. Light pinks flatter everyone. You don't want to look like you're trying too hard/not office appropriate.





Eyeliner some people swear by but I think most people look bad with it on and make their eyes look smaller. I avoid it and my eyes look bigger/brighter.





A little bit of a light peach or pink blush on the cheeks can be done to perk up your complexion. Benefit's Dandelion is a flattering shade on everyone. You can get it at Sephora.com.





Good luck :)
put it on your face!
I don't know about instuctions but I usually apply my make-up in a systematic manner. First ALWAYS face-wash. then a little moisturiser. Then some concealer, on spots where it is needed %26amp; on my nose to make it look shapeful. Then I put on my eye-shadow, then my eyeliner %26amp; then my mascara. After that I put on my lipstick/lipgloss/ whatever I feel for the lips.





Done.





I don't like blush so yeah. I also don't use foundation. Just a bit of concealer.
don't know
If you go to Sephora they can show you really great ways of applying makeup! They'll even give you charts with what they used and how to apply it. It's a free service, although they do hope you'll buy something.
uhm, i don`t know if this helps but i do the same thing every morning: wash my face, moisturize face, straighten my hair (so the moisturizer can get deep into the skin) then i apply foundation to my eyelids, it helps eyeshadow from creasing, then i put the lightest blue i can find (it`s close to grey, i guess) on my whole lid area, then i put dark grey at the end of my eyes, i don`t have that cat eye thing, but i also put eyeliner at the bottom. then curl my lashes, mascara %26amp; etc. last but not least i apply a bit of foundation and sometimes bronzer.
First put on an SPF moisturizer, like Kiss My Face tinted moisturizers. This will leave your skin with a healthy looking glow.





Next, put on a sheer powder on your face such as Bare Minerals 'Mineral Veil'. It's a feather-light, sheer powder that will add some shine to your skin.





Put on a pink blush to the ';apples'; of your cheeks. Use Lancome Magique Blush in 'Pink Softness'.





Finally, add some pink gloss to make your lips luscious looking. Try Revlon Just Bitten Lip Stain for a pop of color.





Good Luck!
Apply a little bit of everything in moderation and you'll look fabulous! Here's how I do it:


1. Wash face with a gentle cleanser. Tone. Moisturize with a lightweight moisturizer.


2. Apply foundation with fingers using light feathery strokes from the inside of my face (near nose) towards my hairline. I use Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse- it helps provide that matte look without looking overdone in the slightest (I have oily skin, so it works out great for me).


3. Dab on concealer slightly over problem areas and apply a very thin layer of foundation over it if it looks uneven or ';caked';.


3b. I also use undereye concealer for those times when I've had sleepless nights (exams!) and I look worse than a racoon come morning. It considerably brightens up/ ';wakens'; the eye area.


4. Set foundation and concealer with translucent loose powder.


5. I apply a light dusting of blush on the apples of my cheeks, just enough to give me some color. Less really is more with this product! For a more natural look, try a bronzer that matches your skin shade instead of a blush.


6. A very thin line of eyeliner on my lower and upper lids. If you find eyeliner too much, just put on one coat of mascara on upper lashes only. It will really pop your eyes open and make you look gorgeous! Some eyeshadow if I'm feeling fancy; if not, my light layer of foundation generally does a wonderful job on its own.


7. Either some great lip balm (un/tinted) or lipgloss, and I'm ready to waltz out!!!


Hope that helps :)
