How often should i wash my foundation brush?

by admin on Mar.27, 2010, under Makeup Q & A

Answer :————————
You should wash your foundation brushes every day and give them a deep thorough cleaning once a week. Aside from exposing your skin to germs and being generally unhygienic, not cleaning your brushes regularly can damage them as well. You can pick up a daily disinfecting cleanser (e.l.f. sells a good one for around $3.00 US) and a brush shampoo for a once a week deep clean. Another alternative is a gentle clarifying shampoo. Never soak your brushes in water, it will ruin the bristles and could rust the ferrule (little metal piece that connects the brush bristles to the handle). Wet your brushes with warm water and apply your brush cleaner. Rub it into the brushes gently, rinse thoroughly and allow to dry overnight by laying them flat on a towel or standing them bristles up in your brush holder to air dry.

The MUFE foundation or NARS glow foundation!! My best one yet? Giorgio Armani Luminous silk! People tell me I look like V. Hudgens so when I learned she uses it I tried it on and it really makes skin glow and it looks flawless and natural! I'm a sophomore btw and I know what you mean about school lighting…suckish right? but its just an illusion I think, always see yourself in natural light ;)

Best make-up/ foundation for my skin?

by admin on Mar.27, 2010, under Makeup Q & A

i need a new foundation for my skin but theres so many i cant decide which one is the best. my skin is kinda sensitive and i have a couple of pimples not that many but i want to cover em up n make my skin look even n natural.. what should i try?! thnks!
Answer :————————
i have very similar skin and i use loreal true match foundation.. i absolutely LOVE it for several reasons:
its about &11-$12 at drug stores
its oil free and really light (but still effective in evening out your skin tone) and so it looks 100% natural
like the name says, it matches really well with your skin tone.
they make it really easy for you to find the right shade for your skin in the stores because they seperate them into like warm tones, cool tones, etc.

i would also recommend the loreal true match concealer. it works veryyy well to cover up blemishes

The Modern Art Of Face Makeup

by admin on Mar.27, 2010, under Womens Interest

Beautifying one`s own self has been the urge of both the sexes since civilization began. Face makeup has always been the most vital part of make over. To create an impression on others, women especially have done various types of face makeup to enhance the look. The style of makeup has undergone changes over the centuries but certain basic rules do remain the same.

There are certain steps to follow to do a good job with the makeup kit. The first step is to cleanse the face well with a cleanser so that excess oil and dirt can be removed. The makeup will set well if this is done. Before applying the base the face should be massaged well with a moisturizer. This will eliminate all chances of dryness.

For a proper face makeup the shape of the face must be taken into account first. A strong jaw line must be done in a way to conceal portion of the jaw with the help of the foundation. The foundation or the base of the face makeup must be carefully selected. This will depend on the complexion of the person. A lighter shade must be used for a person with a bright skin tone. It is important to see that the foundation is well blended with the skin. This is easily done with a bit of water added to the base.

The base must be left to dry for a while. For the summers you can apply a cold compression with ice over the face. This will set the makeup well. For the pimple prone face a water based foundation would be the most appropriate. The foundation must be applied in dots all over the face and then blended. The area under the eye must be treated softly so that it may not leave wrinkles.

The jutting jaws must be colored a shade darker to make them look even. For the face that is round use dark shades on the sides to give a narrow effect. The idea is to hide the defects and highlight the plus points of the face. The next step is to powder the face. There are different shades available. It is best to select the shade that is closest to the skin tone. It is important that the powder blends well with the skin just as the foundation does.

The eyes are the next vital aspects of a face makeup. Here again the shape of the eyes is important. The eye shadow that is applied on the upper eyelids should be a shade that suites the skin as well as the time of the day. Usually a strong makeup at night is appropriate while during the day the makeup is rather light.
The eye liner is used to out line the eyes giving them a prominent shape. For the eyes to look large a thin eye line is the best. For the opposite effect the liner could be a thicker line. This also lends the eyes a dramatic look.

The mascara is then applied over the eye lashes to make it appear longer. They definitely look richer and make the eyes seem bigger. The eye brow may be simply brushed or darkened with an eye brow pencil. The final touch comes with the rouge that lends the face its color and radiance. The rouge can be cream or powder. Soft touches of it to highlight or subdue the cheeks are needed. The art of face makeup needs long practice to bring perfection. The best makeup is done in natural light.

Foundation and moisturizer for sensitive skin?

by admin on Mar.03, 2010, under Makeup Q & A

Ok so I was wondering what a good foundation and moisturizer for my sensitive skin would be?
I tried Olay 7 effects, and broke out in a red rash within 2 days and it lasted 1.5 weeks.
I also tried Clean&Clear's Morning Burst Moisturizer and also i broke out in a red rash but only over my eyes, and that took almost 4 days.
I've also used Aveeno, and it makes me break out, i've used their scrub and their moisturizer and it did not end well.
As for foundation, now I use Loreal True Match in the powder, but i dont' feel like i'm getting enough coverage, so I tried Revlon's custom creations, and I got a red rash in 2 days. That was the first liquid foundation I had tried, and I was wondering if there was a liquid foundation that worked well for sensitive skin? Thank you :)

Ordering foundation from Sephora?

by admin on Mar.03, 2010, under Makeup Q & A

I want to order Nars foundation from Sephora but i have never used this..I also have never bought foundation before so I don't really know what shade i'd be..i have a good guess out of the color choices but my question is does Sephora let you return your opened foundation if it is not the right shade for you?
Answer :————————
Sephora is great about returns, they will take just about anything back within 30 days of purchase. They are also one of the few companies that still sends out a prepaid return label with your order, instead of making you handle your own shipping.
If you can afford it, I would buy the two shades that you think will match, and then just return the one that isn't right. That way if it isn't right the first time you won't have to wait for the new one.

Good luck!

Do you apply heavy eye makeup before foundation or after?

by admin on Mar.03, 2010, under Makeup Q & A

Answer :————————
AFTER. because you need to put the concealer under your eyes,
and maybe a little bit of foundation on your eyelids because it acts
as a primer and helps eye makeup stay on better. but be careful!
cuz when you're done applying your eye makeup, you may have
little fallen particles of eyeshadow underneath your eye, which tend
to stick to your foundation. so just lightly dust them away! =]
