How to apply make-up?

Can you give me some basic guide lines? I have fair skin and almond eyes and an oval shaped head with sholder length hair. Also whats the best way to clean your brushes?How to apply make-up?
Depending on your age and skin type, I would suggest a mineral powder over foundation. Something like Physicians Formula Mineral Powder in light. That is what my daughter uses and looks and feels wonderful.


As far as your eyes go, go with a liner color that compliments your eye color. Green eyes look great with black, brown, green, and purple to lavender eyeliner.


Brown looks good with almost any color.


Blue looks good with most colors except green.


I would start by lining the bottom lid only 1/2 way across, then line the whole upper lid. But you will need to play with this to get what looks best with your eyes.


If you go with dark eye colors then use a lighter lip shade, or light eye colors you can use a darker shade of lipstick. The key is to play up one feature at a time so as not to overwhelm your face.


Just wash your brushes with regular soap and water and let them air dry. This needs to be done once a month or so, because bacteria builds up on them fast.


If you want to e-mail me I can give you some more help geared more specifically for your characteristics.


Good luck.How to apply make-up?

I want to first start off by telling you that you have BEAUTIFUL features(You just have to learn how to work it)LOL.Well it depends on a couple of things when you're dealing with make-up...What look you're going for (Dramatic,Natural,Etc.),And your skin type(Oily,Dry,Normal,Etc.) www.Covergirl.com actually has the best site in my opinion to get Tips %26amp; Tricks from! You can even get an online consultation.You can also check out you local Department stores make-up counters like M.A.C.,Lancome,Clinique for a hands on experiance...It's free( I would recommend you purchase atleast one item though so you wouldn't look tacky), And you can get free samples.Hopefully I was able to give you good enough tips for you to unleash your inner DIVA!!! Good Luck ;) Oh Yeah I almost forgot...I clean my brushes with a gentle shampoo,such as baby shampoo from like johnson %26amp; johnson...Or you can go the expensive route and get the cleaner that the Pros use.
sounds like you have really nice features. You could add some high and low-lights to your hair to make it stand out a bit more, or curl it permanantly or using a curling iron. To make your eyes stand out (after all, your eyes are meant to be ur best feature), use a bit of brown on the outer rim of ur eyes and light colors in the inside corners.





Choose to play up one feature of ur face at a time. If you want to play up your eyes, wear tinted or clear gloss on ur lips, if you want to do the opposite, wear little or no make up on your eyes. It's also nice to have some foundation on (I reccomend Maybelline dream matte mousse with spf, it's fabulous) it makes your skin look smoother, and if you use mouse, it also makes your skin loose the scary shine.
