We all want to look beautiful and we make efforts to achieve our best appearance every day.
We want to look good all the time and although we may think we are doing our makeup just fine, there are some tips and tricks that we can learn from the makeup artist. We selected 5 secrets that we have discovered from the makeup pros and hope that you will find this technique really useful and helpful.

 

1. Use a Primer

Many people don’t know the difference between primer and bb cream and often they are even skipping this important step, which is helping them to create the most flawless makeup base.
The primer is going to make your skin look smooth and blemish free. It is like a glue that is going to make your makeup last longer. The main goal of the primer is to really allow the skin to breathe freely underneath the foundation, creating the perfect base for you to start on. Remember that the peace size from the primer is all you need. If you apply more than that you are definitely going to notice the excess of the product and your skin may start to peel with your foundation on and you really don’t want this to happen.

 

2. Contour your face

The secret of a perfect appearance lies in the play of shadows, therefore, like a picture, your face needs lightening and darkening to give it form and depth and create the dimension that you want. The most important tip you need to know about contour is that you have to use matte contour palette and not shimmery. You can use small contour brush for underneath the eyes and your nose, and angled brush for your cheeks and forehead. It is really amazing how you can sculpt your face and create the cheekbones you have always wanted by just playing with the shades and shadows. The areas on which we must apply a lighter shade are: above and below the eyebrows, the central part of the nose and chin, under the eyes, around the nose, under the cheekbones. Areas that need a darker shade are the outer contour of the forehead and the chin, the cheekbones and the outer part of the nose. You can watch a Youtube video to master this technique faster.

 

3. How to make a pimple look flat

We learned this helpful beauty trick from the amazing makeup artist Kristofer Buckle.
If you want to look flawless but there is a pimple on your face there is no foundation or concealer, which can hide a bump. What Kristofer suggest is that you grab a cotton swab and dip it into your acetone or nail polish remover. Be careful not to soak it too much you need just a little bit of the product. Then dab it onto the blemish for couple and seconds. It will burn for a little bit but it will make the pimple flat. After that, you can easily hide the redness using concealer, foundation or powder. Kristofer Buckle is suggesting to use a Visine drops onto the blemish to make it disappear even faster.

 

4. Apply False Lashes

To give your eye makeup more definition the makeup artists are always using false lashes.
False eyelashes can be made of synthetic fibers or natural hair. Thanks to them, you can create the illusion of longer eyelashes and thick, especially if you don’t have natural ones. Look for light lashes that are not too heavy and fake looking. The lashes have a different length and type and you can even stack 2 at the same time if you are going for butterfly lashes for a girls night out. And remember the heavier the lashes the faker they are going to appear.

 

5. Make your lipstick last even longer

The most important thing for perfectly applied lipstick is, of course, smooth lips.
You have to prepare your lips and remove all the dead skin and impurities.
Once your chapped lips are healed, apply lip balm in order to moisturize your beautiful lips. Then conceal the lips and the area around your mouth to avoid any discoloration. Set that all in using powder. Define your lip lines using lip liner and fill your lips. And the final step is applying your favorite lipstick but instead of one coat apply one more after that. And voila!
