Make up tips Simple, useful makeup and beauty tips and tricks that every lady should know. Day to day makeup Every woman wants to look great and fresh on a daily basis but time can be very precious, especially in the mornings. Your morning makeup routine should be simple yet effective and disguise any imperfections. As it’s spring time, your skin needs to wake up from that winter beauty sleep and be ready for those sunny days. Drink lots of water as it will keep you and your skin hydrated. Your skin is likely to become dry, flaky and be more prone to wrinkles if you don’t keep yourself hydrated. Take good care of it and you will blossom like a flower, ready to glow and wow everyone around. Even though day to day makeup is much simpler compared to evening makeup, it should still be noticeable and it is important to follow some makeup principles. Firstly, you should pay attention to your eyes, hair, skin colour, as well as your clothing choices. These can all determine the colours and shades that you should use. 36 Secondly, it is always necessary to follow some basic rules of makeup. Even if your daytime makeup is minimal, you still need to take good care of your facial skin. Therefore you should apply your makeup only on well cleansed and moisturised skin, not forgetting SPF protection too. Remember, it’s very important to use skin care according to your skin type. Thirdly, choose makeup that suits your job title. If for example you are a beauty consultant or a bartender etc. you can get away with darker colours and stronger makeup. However if you work in an office and want a more formal look then choose soft, natural and pastel colours instead. Lastly you should always apply your makeup in daylight or the best lighting as possible as it will be easier to achieve a more natural looking result. Women often underestimate the effect of light and apply makeup in a bathroom or in a hallway where little or no natural light is visible. It’s very easy to overdo your makeup in this instance and it will be very noticeable when you go outside in daylight.
