I'm not bragging but a lot of people compliment me on my make-up and that gave me enough confidence to start a small business as a make-up artist. I'll be starting soon for anyone who is interested.
I'm not saying that my make-up looks amazing all the time.. i do have bad make-up days, it really depends on my mood, but most of the time it looks good. Make-up in the middle east is a bit crazy for me and exaggerated. I follow hollywood's make-up styles and tips and im always up to date.
Foundation:
There are so many different types of foundation in so many different textures. There are cream foundations, spray, heavy compact, etc. I use a brand which they don't sell in kuwait "Laura Mercier" it is sooooo amazing. I found a color that i can play around with. I can use it to be pale, tanned, whatevr and it works :) atleast people tell me it does. So my second choice would be "Clinique" its Allergy tested, 100% fragrance free, and oil free. There are so many other brands choose the right one for you. Foundation doesn't have to be something heavy to wear only at parties or occassions. there are diff. types of coverages. If you want something almost transparent use a very light coverage its very natural and can be used for day. I use a medium coverage since i have some brown spots. Make sure you choose the right color for your skin. To do that.. take a lil of the foundation and apply it on your neck if it disapears that means that is the right color for you.
Concealer:
When you apply your foundation apply some under ur eyes and or our eyelids then apply your concealer afterwards it helps maximize coverage to hide those dark circles. I have tried "Clinique", "Laura Mercier", "Mac" they r all good. The thicker.. creamier ones are good if you have dark circles as they are heavier. You have to find a color that is Slightly lighter than your foundation and works well with your skin tone. There is a yellow under tone and a pink under tone really depending on which one looks better, you have to try one on each eye and compare which one looks nice and natural. Use concealer where you need it.
Blush:
cream or powder?
Try them both see what you like.
There are cream blushes, powders, red liquid pigment i've seen from "Benefit" or the old fashioned way lipstick.
Its really what makes you comfortable. I use more than one brand and different colors. Depending on your makeup. If you use bronzer then use an orange tone blush, if not.. use either pink or orange it doesnt matter. The lighter the blush the more natural it will look. When you apply bronzer, suck in your cheeks creating a fish face ;p and apply on your cheek bones from top to bottom, then a lil on your forehead, nose and chin. When applying blush, dip the brush in, blow excesss powder, smile and apply on the apples of your cheeks.
Lipstick & Lipgloss:
where to start with lipstick?
Lip cream, lipstick, lip color pencil, lipgloss, so many options. Im sure there are more. Don't ask me which is the best type, some people just like chapstick or clear lip balm. It really depends on u and what u like. I love "Bobbi Brown" & "Armani". If your into neutrals go for "Bobbi.B" If your more of a dare devil and like bright colors go for "Armani". You don't have to stick to those two brands there are so many brands out there but when i like something i stick to it.
PLEASE! moisturize your lips before applying lipstick to avoid flaky, cracked lips. Again "vaseline" or lip balm will do.
