Makeup enhances one’s beauty and brings out the beautiful you, outside. There are steps of makeup. First, let’s begin with facial, eye makeup and lip makeup complete the circle.

Facial rejuvenates your skin; it makes you appear fresh and beautiful and gives you a youthful look. Herbal facials are the in thing these days, as they are safe and cause no harm to your skin. The different types of facials include: diamond facial, fruit facial, 24 carat gold, silver, pearl facial, oxygen facial etc.

Facials also protects from harsh sun rays that cause damage to your skin. It is recommended for teenagers to get a facial done as their skin is more prone to excessive oil secretion and build up, which blogs the pores of the skin, and allows the dirt to settle down.  For young adults acne treatments are recommended.

Anti tanning: Wrinkles, tanning, dryness of skin is caused because of over exposure to sun rays. Many good treatments are available for tan removal and restoring the natural beauty of one’s skin, with plenty of moisturizer and glow.
Next we step to eye care and eye makeup: Eyes are the most neglected part of a human body, though they are the noticed soon.  Eat right is the main mantra to keep your eyes healthy. Some nutrients and antioxidants are beneficial for eye health.

  •   Have enough sleep
  •   Give your eyes enough rest. Don’t strain them.
  •   Do not stare at the television or computer screen for long. The rays may affect the eyes.
  •   When at home, lie down, shut your eyes, and place cucumber on your eyelids for 4-5 minutes. And see the difference. Your eyes will feel fresh.
Now, let’s talk about eye makeup. First clean your face.  Apply primer to your eyelids. Primer or base out your skin. If you go for primer, apply it all over and up to the brow bone.

Even out the skin tone around your eyes. Apply concealer to your under eye dark circles and where your inner eye meets your nose. Get a test done, before you choose any product. Use your hands or a brush to blend the makeup to your cheekbones and nose. Set the concealer by brushing a lose flesh toned powder over it. Apply some powder to your eyelids as well.

Eye shadow: Well, you can play with colors for eye shadow. Use a single color or use different colors. Apply a medium color. Your eyelashes are the running areas to the crease. If you want to go for a multi colored eye shadow, pick out the medium color for this area. Apply a light color on your brow bone. Highlight this area, and make more light bounce off by brushing on a pearly white or any other delicate color that matches your eye lid color. Next step is to blend the colors: Mix the colors, if you have used several shades, with your hands or brush. This will give it a more natural look.

Apply eye liner: Use a liquid eyeliner or even a liner pencil or even a wet eye shadow on to line your eyes.  After this curl your lashes. Use an eyelash curler to curl your lashes. Hold the clamp for about 5 seconds.

And now the final eye makeup: Mascara: You can apply a little or even more. There are plenty of brands, volume and length. Start at the base of your lashes. And slowly sweep upwards. If you want a dramatic effect, apply mascara to your lower lashes as well.

Remember DO NOT apply mascara before curling your lashes

For most luscious lips: Lips are the most noticed part of a woman’s face. Apply lip balm so that your lips don’t dry out. Apply lip liner, a little above your lip line, running it till your lower lip line. Now apply lipstick, and cover the entire area. If you want to keep your lipstick for long, don’t forget to dab powder on your lips before applying lipstick.
