When you apply makeup you should be aware of your inner beauty and
how to bring it out. Everyone, however plain they may be, has
certain features in their face that should be enhanced. This will bring
out your personal inner beauty.

1. Diet: Be sure you eat a healthy diet with lots of fruits and
vegetables. Try not to eat junk food and soda. Instead eat fruit and
veggie snacks and remember to drink lots of water. This will give
your skin the nutrients it needs and keep it well hydrated and supple.

2. Covering blemishes: always use a concealer that is a shade lighter
than your actual skin color. Take some time to match this for the
best results. You can put a little bit on your hand and blend in to get
the best match. The concealer comes in stick, cream or liquid. Be
careful to follow directions carefully when applying.

3. Use the right application for blush: An oily skin will require a powder
blush, liquid or mineral gel, but dry skin is better with a cream.
Understand the contour of your face when applying blush, so that
you get the best look.

4. Do not use old makeup: This is not good for you and is not worth
the money you might save. After 6 months throw away any makeup
and start fresh. Do not keep your makeup in extreme temperatures.
Remember that germs can hide within your makeup
and give your skin problems.

5. Do not use too much makeup: Too much makeup can be a problem
for your skin. Go natural and use light makeup to accentuate your
inner beauty. Light natural makeup is in vogue right now, so you will
be in fashion with the natural look.

6. Always clean your makeup brushes: Clean brushes will allow you to
apply your makeup better. Dirty brushes can create infections as
well as spoiling your makeup techniques. They collect old makeup,
dead skin and bacteria. You can clean them with a little soap and
warm water. Do not use hot water as this will spoil the bristles of the
brushes. Do not put soap directly on your brush as it causes a
film on the bristles and attracts dirt. Do not wet the handle of the
brush as this might make the glue for the bristles weak. Dry the
brushes lying down on a clean lint cloth and turn them after a couple
of hours. Never stand them up to dry.

7. Always remove your makeup at the end of the day: Never leave
your makeup on overnight. This will cause problems with your skin
and you will experience break outs. When choosing a makeup
remover you should be sure that it is compatible with your skin type.
Be careful of oil based removers as they will leave your face
greasy. This type of remover works well for eye makeup but not for
the entire face. If you must use an oil based remover always use
one without mineral oil. Natural products are best and for this you
can use cleansing milk.
