• If you have oily skin, blot away the excess oil by laying either a tissue or one of the face-blotting papers sold by some cosmetics companies over the face and blotting. Perm endpapers also work well. Do this before you do anything else.
• Remove all of your lipstick so you can start over after you have touched up your face makeup. Apply a light layer of lip balm if lips feel dry.
• Once the excess oil on your skin has been absorbed, take a fresh sponge and smooth out the foundation, blush, and contour (women with dry and normal skin should also follow this step). Use a gentle buffing motion, making sure to smooth things as you go.
• Apply a little extra concealer under the eyes if that area looks a bit dark.
• If you need a little more foundation over blemishes or discolorations, blend it on now, avoiding the blush and contour area.
• Dust a light layer of pressed powder over the face. A pressed powder with an SPF 15 that includes the UVA-protecting ingredients, titanium dioxide, or zinc oxide is an excellent option to assure all day sun protection.
• Apply more blush or contour if needed, but only if needed, and be careful—color grabs more over makeup that has been on the face awhile.
• If you want to touch up your eyeliner, particularly under the eyes where it might have smeared, use a powder shadow instead of a pencil. Use the corner or side of your makeup sponge to remove any evidence of smeared eyeliner.
• If your eye shadows have creased, blot the area gently with a tissue or blotting paper and then use a brush to smooth out the color. Apply a powder over the area to even out the shadows and add whatever color is needed to make your eye makeup look balanced.
• Finally, reapply your lip liner and lipstick.

• Select two shades of blush, one of a deeper shade and other of lighter. Also purchase a compact with two coordinating shades so that the shades go together.

• Apply your usual foundation make-up or powder to cover any imperfections and even out your skin tone.

• Apply the lighter shade of blush in rounded motions onto the apples of your cheeks.

• Next, following the line of your cheekbones, apply a sheer sweep of the deeper shade of blush.

• Blend, blend and blend. The key with this trick is to create dimension, but you do not want a very obvious demarcation between your natural cheek color and the blush.

•Sweep a small amount of the lighter shade across your nose and/or forehead as desired to add an extra glow to your complexion.

Groom your brows with a clean mascara brush or similar tool. Move loose hairs into place and blend color for a more natural appearance. When you are finished with the filling process, with the help of upward strokes, brush the brows back into the place. Prefer using an eyebrow brush for this purpose as this will help soften and shade the eyebrow pencil coloring to make it look more natural.

To see the natural line of the eyebrow and where it needs to be filled, comb your brow with the help of an eyebrow brush or a toothbrush in the direction in which it grows.

The professional makeup artists highly appreciate the healthy, clear and naturally beautiful skin. But if your skin isn’t flawless you will have to use a few makeup products to achieve this. Every makeup artist makes use of a make up primer /base. If you use a good makeup primer, you can hide imperfections like, large pores, small pimple, skin discolorations, spots, freckles and so on. This will give you a clear face look and the same outlook will appear when you picture is clicked.

Besides using products to glow your face for the photo, you shouldn’t forget about your eyes. Remember, your eyes are the most attractive part on your face so you need to make it look the best. There are even eyelid primers that conceal the yellowing hints under your eyes. So never miss out in glowing your eyes.

Begin with the first step of applying the lipliner at the center of your natural upper lip line to define the bow then work toward the outer corners to complete the line. Start at one corner of your bottom lip then follow your natural lip line all the way to the other corner.

Choose a lipliner that matches your lipstick or a flesh tone shade for a soft, natural look. To get plumper, pinker looking lips do not touch up by drawing a hard lip line; smudge it so lips look fuller! For a more dramatic fullness, choose a lipstick shade with a hint of frost. To avoid lipstick on your teeth, put your index finger in your mouth and then draw it out slowly with your mouth closed. What you see on your finger is what would have ended up on your teeth!

Tips to Apply lip liner
Before putting on a lip color on your lips, use a lip liner or pencil as this will help in forming the natural shape of your mouth. To apply the lip liner you just have to draw line outside your natural lip line for more fullness and another line on the inside of your natural lip line to make it appear slightly thinner. But if you want to achieve a luscious pout for your lips, add a line on the bottom lip that is two shades lighter than the line of your upper lip.

For a more freedom on your lip colors, ensure that you have the various colors of your lip liner pencils as one single color of lip liner will not cut it out especially if you want to create an illusion of fullness and heavier for your lips.

Tips to lip gloss
Applying lip gloss with essential oils will make your lips look wonderful as well as your feeling. The choices of warm and cool shades for your lip gloss are great for your lipstick as these will make your favorite lipstick color to have that extra layer of light loving color. Plus, you can even wear lip glosses alone if you want a more pretty and natural look. However, in achieving this look, choose the best lip gloss that matches your skin tone.

1. Tap or lightly blow on the applicator brush to remove any excess blush before applying to prevent a harsh and uneven application.
2. Apply your blush on the apple of the cheek and carefully blend towards your natural hairline.
3. If you have two shades, apply the darker one on the apple of the cheek first, then use the lighter shade to highlight. Blend well so there is no visible line between colors.
4. Highlight your temples, forehead and chin.

Some tips to make your cheeks appear healthy:

• To know “where to glow” bend over for 30 seconds, then slowly stand up. Where your cheeks are flushed is where you are meant to blush. Apply your blush there and it will be naturally rosy every time.
• Cheek color should be used to enhance your complexion, not to change your natural skin tone. Use sparingly for daytime, then add more or a deeper shade for a more dramatic nighttime effect. For special occasions, dust a lightly frosted powder over your cheekbones for a subtle but alluring glow.
• Make sure to blend your blush into your foundation well or it will tend to look unnatural and add the appearance of 5 years to your looks.
