Are You Wearing Too Much Makeup?
OK, I suppose a company that sells makeup probably shouldn’t blog about this but we sell Mineral Makeup which helps your natural beauty stand out, we don’t sell the kind of makeup that you slather on with a paint-roller and hope for the best, so I feel comfortable discussing this important topic!
You definitely don’t want to completely cover your natural beauty, you want to enhance those beautiful features! You can keep your makeup beautiful, light and fresh, which is what looks best on everyone. You don’t want your makeup applied so thick and heavy everyone can tell from three blocks away that you are wearing makeup. A subtle application is best.
To start out you’ll want to use the best canvas you can, just like an artist would. A clean, exfoliated face is preferred to skin that is dull, flaky and dry. Not everyone can exfoliate frequently because they may just have more sensitive skin, well that’s OK, exfoliate when you can and the rest of the time wash your face with a gentle cleanser to keep your face fresh and clean.
One step that is often ignored, especially with those who have oily or combination skin is moisturizing. Of course, you’ll want to make sure your moisturizer is completely absorbed and your face is dry to the touch, before applying your makeup. Utilizing a great moisturizer before your makeup can serve the same purpose as a primer and create a nice smooth canvas for you to begin your work of art on. No need to purchase a primer product, now you’ve just saved yourself some money! And a moisturizer with SPF is always your best bet to keep your skin young healthy!
Finish up your look with a setting spray or setting powder (or both!) can really help pull your look together. It can tone down your makeup just a touch, in case you accidentally over did it, or if you accidentally chose a color that was too bright for your complexion or a given look. Perhaps the pink you picked was perfect in the bathroom but when you step outside into natural lighting perhaps it’s just way to pink! After using your setting powder, your look will be brought down slightly so you don’t have to go wash your face and start all over again!
Just remember to keep your look fresh and natural, and enhance, not cover your natural beauty and you’ll be ahead of the game! And looking beautiful!
