78 Contouring, the use of makeup to enhance or create shape: Because light shades will bring features forward, and darks recede, eyes can be dramatically sculpted. Your face shape can be modified with blush colour and blush placement. Darker skin tone tips: Colours can often look quite washed out on darker skin tones. Choose colours rich in pigment and depth with less talc to prevent colour fade and ashiness. Exfoliation: A looks renewal process that helps your skin to shed its top layer making it more receptive to any moisturizer. Exfoliation can be chemical, using salicylic acid, or manual such as grainy scrubs. Different types perform different functions. Facial lines: Different facial expressions cause different lines to become much more noticeable. A turnaround cream right for your skin type will help you to minimize their appearance. Damage to your skin that exposure to the sun has caused can be helped from being visible by using an anti- aging cream. Always keep in mind that what is today’s frown, pursed lips, or furrowed brow will show up as tomorrow’s brow and lip lines. Relax and your face relaxes with you. Foundation: Makeup bases come in numerous formulas and shades. So choose one that suits your skin type, oily or dry, to give the amount of coverage you want, providing the finish you prefer, and offers options, waterproof, SPF, etc. The shade should closely match your skin tone. Best test area? Near the jaw line. Large pores: Minimize enlarged pores and shine them with scrupulously clean skin, and a good oil-combating foundation, and a perfect powder finish. Try a pore minimizer and also you can try some clear skin formula. Quick tip: If oil surfaces during the day, blot the area with a tissue, re-dust with powder. Makeup removal: Always remove makeup and physical sunscreens with a specially designed makeup cleanser before you wash with a facial soap. Washing without removing your makeup first is like taking a shower with your clothes on. Soap is designed to clean skin, if it has to work through makeup it can’t do its job as effectively. Natural makeup: Subtle looks-enhancement. Using the thinnest layers of each, hide any flaws with concealer. Dot on foundation and blend up and out to ears, hairline, just under jaw line. Fluff blusher over cheekbones, then out to hairline, and finish with a powder rubdown. Lips get a deeper than lip colour shade of pencil and gloss. Eyes, shadowed in subtle shades of neutral. Note: Natural does not mean naked. One minute makeup touch-up: In your desk keep a purse or makeup bag with sheer powder blush, a long-lasting lipstick, and pressed powder, so that you can put your best face forward. Photo/Video: Tawny makeup shades do not fade or go blue in flash photography. Avoid shimmer. Makeup base wear: It’s possible to always use the correct formulation for any skin condition you may have and keep skin meticulously clean. Oily skin is particularly prone to “makeup meltdown” and “orangey” colour change. Powder rubdown: To give your face that smooth matte finish, pour a loose blended face powder DR. A.P.
