women have been wearing cosmetics for thousands of years. obviously, things haven't changed that! how do you put cosmetics on? the most important thing you can do when applying makeup is to start with a clean face. a clean face gives you the perfect palate for applying the rest of your cosmetics. a dirty face, on the other hand, will make it much more difficult. a clean face will also help keep your skin look clear and healthy. I have been read this tips and tricks from a women magazine long time ago but it is still work. i think the important thing to make your makeup perfectly is foundation!! do you think so? many of us have no idea how to applied foundation correctly and it look like you are wearing foundation or your face feels like its covered with guck, then you have put too much on. its looks like very hard work to put your cosmetic on better and work properly. i am the one always having problem when applying this on my face, i read a lot of cosmetic tips and tricks but I could not still do this as myself, then the time to went out i just put powder and lipstick on, thas's it.

Hi rosewebster, welcome to mylot. I am fond of putting cosmetics on my face. I am not a professional, but I always look at other make-up artists and observe them while doing the make-up. Youa are right with what you have said. It is always best to start with a clean face. If you cannot wash your face, you can use facial wipes. Well, foundations, nowadays have many varieties. from creams, to 2 way, cakes , etc. You have to first know what shade of foundation is closest to your skin tone. It is best to test some foundations before buying them. There are free make-overs, so no problem with the testers. Observe it for several hours, if it does not cake it's a good one. When you apply it, it should be even and you have to have a dry face. Do it in a well ventilated room or better in an air-conditioned room. You may have a loose powder that is in different shade so as to make it even in case there are whiter or darker spots. If you prefer to use liquid , do it in a small amount. Because some dry really fast. Well, that's how I do it, do not give up easily , always try and try until you perfect it.
