Have you ever wondered why your personal makeup application doesn’t always come out right? Do you always stare at beauty magazines and wish your makeup would come out just as beautiful as it looks on the models? I would tell you why.

• Your skin is in bad state
• You aren’t using the right tools
• Your choice of foundation is wrong(Color and type)
• Your color combination is wrong
• You do not have a steady hand
• You apply too much of everything.
There are many more reasons and I could go on and on but these are the basics and I am going to help you deal with them.

• SKIN: Do you have skin problems? We all do once in a while. The issue isn’t the problem itself, it is our choice of preventing or healing that becomes a problem. Seek professional advice on choice of skin care products, don’t just buy products off the shelf on your own judgments. Your skin has to be in a healthy beautiful state so that makeup can sit on better and look good. For information on how to deal with spots, blemishes and acne go to http://mymakeupmag.tk

• MAKEUP TOOLS: Using the right makeup tools help you achieve a look that is professional. Make sure that you are using the right brushes for eye shadow, powder, blush and concealer.  We love wedges for blending in foundation. Wedge sponges help blend foundation in with little effort.

• FOUNDATION: Foundation is the basic makeup product that is used. Once the foundation isn’t right, everything else isn’t. Foundation helps creates the canvas for your makeup. Your foundation should blend into the skin to a perfect finish and should not appear like its screaming out of the skin so make sure that you are using the closest or perfect shade for your skin tone,  Choose foundation that is best for your skin type. Don’t use liquid foundation when you have oily skin, compacts are best. Liquid foundation is best for normal to dry skin types. You’d have a cakey appearance if you use compacts for dry skin.
Pro tip? For a look that is flawless, use a face primer just before foundation. Its masks out lines and makes the face appear smoother, allowing foundation sit on the skin better.

• COLORS: The colors you choose should complement and balance the features of your entire face, your hair color and your eyes. When you have played up your eyes, make sure to go soft on your lips and vice versa. I call this the up-down rule.
When filling your brows, the color of brow pencil you choose should complement your hair color and skin tone.

• BE STEADY: You have to take control of your makeup or it would take control of you. Don’t be too quick to apply products, try as much as you can to steady your grip on your brushes, pencils, liners and mascara else you would be spilling products over a job that could have been otherwise beautiful.

• TOO MUCH IS WRONG: Too much foundation, too many eye shadow combinations, too much lip gloss, thick liners, too much finishing powder…wrong wrong wrong! The best makeup look is one that is applied little by little until finish. Unless you want to look like a fashion model straight off a photo shoot, you can’t go wrong with your look when you keep it soft and simple.
