Before you start off with the process, keep everything you need at hand. Some of the most important tools for face make up are: moisturiser; liquid foundation or base; ice cubes; compact powder; eye shadows; eye shadow applicator; eye liner; kohl or eye pencils; mascara; lipstick or lip colour; lip liner; lip brush; some basic rouge shades; tissue box.



Once you have all these cosmetics and make-up tools in place, you are ready to get started with your face-makeup. Before you start with any make-up consider the occasion, time of day and even the climate. Always go light on make-up if the temperature is higher. The 5 steps will turn you straight from the girl next door to the attractive that stays hidden inside you.

Foundation or base:

First apply moisturiser on your face and neck. Cover ears, nape and the portion your outfit`s neck is going to show. Wipe excess moisturiser. Now apply liquid foundation in dots across your face. Blend it in your skin and see that you cover all the flaws. Now quickly rub ice over your face to close the pores. Dab with a tissue. Now apply the compact powder. Remember to choose a liquid foundation and compact that is closest to your skin tone and colour.

Eyes:

Apply an eye shadow according to your outfit or the time of the day. Take a light shade if you are going to be in a bright place and take darker hues for the nights. Consider the occasion too. You can add some glitter if you are going to a party. If it`s a quiet dinner then minus the glitter and just take a golden hue and blend with a colour that compliments your skin. Now apply eyeliner over your eyelids. If you have big eyes keep it thin. Run kohl along your eye rims. Now apply mascara on your eyelashes, both up and down.

Lips:

Begin with applying a lip liner on the edges of your lips. Make them shapely if you want. Fill in lip colour with a lip brush from the lipstick. Press lips on a tissue. Apply lip gloss. If it is an evening event apply a lip gloss that adds some sparkle to your lips and brings out the pout.

Blush on:

Take a basic rouge shades, either a rosy pink or warm brown. Roll a brush on it and apply it on the side of your cheeks with gentle strokes. Smile while you do so. Stroke the same brush lightly on your nose too. Avoid making circles or over using the use. You have to keep it natural yet bring out your best features.

Touch up:

Carry a lipstick, a lip gloss, some tissues, a small mirror and a compact powder with you when you leave your place. Give yourself a quick touch up if you are sweating off the face make-up or in any case if your make-up is wearing off.

A girl does not need to be taught dressing up. It is instinctive. While you are doing your face make-up you will discover many minor details on your own and you will customize the procedure according to your facial skin and features. Just ensure whatever you try looks good on you. Rather avoid it if you are unsure. You are now set to do your own face make-up. You sure will be the best girl!
