Every woman wants to look beautiful & attractive and makeup secrets are very useful to make the most favorable use of cosmetics.



Below are a few useful beauty tips to get the most out of the cosmetics:

  • Always apply make-up on a clean face (use good cleansing milk). If the skin is oily then apply astringent and if it is dry then apply a good moisturizer to the skin.
  • Mascara: Apply the mascara with a clean brush and brush the lashes downwards to remove any foundation sticking to them then upwards over the upper eyelids.



    The lower lashes should be tinted with colour. When the first coat dries, apply a second one and after the second coat dries, go over the lashes with a dry brush to separate them and remove excess mascara.
  • Lips: To apply lipstick properly, one must learn to use the lip brush effectively.



    One should avoid dark lipsticks and use softer shades. Before applying lipstick, apply foundation to the lips because this makes a good base for the lipstick and at the same time it blots out the natural lip line so that one can outline a prettier shape with the brush.



    Fill the brush with colour, fashion the upper lip first with lips slightly apart. Start from the outer corner following the natural curve of one’s lips and work towards the center and let the tip of the brush draw the line on the upper lip.



    Use the side of the brush on the lower lip working at one half of the lip at the same time and when the outline is clearly established, fill it with colour. Thick lips can be made to look thinner by colouring them within the natural lip line and covering the remaining area with foundation cream.



    If the lips are thin, the upper lip can be extended above the natural lip line however, care must be taken to see that the extended portion follows the natural curve of the lips and the lower lip should be full and well-shaped by extending the lip line a little below the natural line of the lower lip.
  • Double chin: Apply a dark shade right under the chin with a lighter shade in the crease on either side. For a fuller broader double chin, apply shading just under the jaw bone and blend from ear to ear along the jaw line and under the chin.
  • Puffy cheeks: Create hollowness under the cheekbones with a darker foundation and extend it to the jaw line blending all the time into the skin.
