Make-Up Tips

#1. Find out your face shape!

The way makeup looks on you mainly depends on your face shape. For instance, certain eyebrow styles are better for rounder faces than for longer faces. Follow the face shape graph below. Women with longer face shapes have the luxury of being able to rock any eyebrow shape from thick, bushy brows, to thin, angled brows.

Round Face Shape

If your face is slightly plump and rounded the best brow shape for you is a slightly angled sharp brow shape.

Square Face Shape

If your face is long but have a strong jawline the best eyebrow look for you is thick rounded brows.

#2. Know your skin tone!

Unfortunately, many make-up shops in Nigeria don't offer a wide range of skin tone shades. If you can afford to do so, order make-up online so you have more options. Firstly, you need to know if you have a warmer skin tone or a cooler skin tone. The first way to tell is to check your wrists, do the veins look green or blue? Blue veins mean that you have a cooler undertones, and colder colors (Shades of Blue, Green, Purple. etc.) look better on you. If the veins look green, that means you have warmer undertones, and warm colors (Red, Yellow, Orange, Pink etc.) look better on you.

Eye Make-Up Tips from Actual Makeup Artists:

#3. You can make any color eye shadow multidimensional by layering two textures of the same shade. Press a shimmering powder over a sparkling cream. — Mally Roncal

#4. The old rule — to play up your eyes or lips, not both — is begging to be broken. Just keep your eye makeup and lipstick in the same color family and they’ll work together. — Nick Barose

#6. Line your upper waterlines in black to define the eyes and the lower ones in beige to make your eye color stand out. — Francelle Daly

#7. Brighten up your eyes by framing them with highlighter. Tap a champagne or gold cream above the tails of the brows and just over the cheekbones. — Mally Roncal

#8. While your mascara is still wet, quickly push your lashes up with your fingers to curl them. — Sir John

#9. To create the perfect wing, draw a dot about two millimeters up and out from the outer corner of each eye, then connect the dots to your lash lines. — Charlotte Tilbury

#10. Using one color on the whole face — like dusting the same color blush across the lids and cheeks — is so pretty because it doesn’t look done up. — Gucci Westman

#11. Using only creamy formulas — like golden-taupe or peachy-brown cream shadows — around the eyes gives you a really beautiful, dewy, healthy effect. — Diane Kendal
