Doing makeup is essential whether you are in office or going out. Everyone wants to look attractive, attract attention, and be found pleasant by the opposite sex. There is something natural and instinctive about it. Whether you are married or single, young or middle aged, grooming is a part of our nature.

So how to go about applying make up? The basic stages/ingredients are described briefly below. The amount of makeup depends on the occasion. A light makeup does well for informal occasions, and a heavy makeup for very important public occasions.

Foundation: This helps to create a smooth surface over which other products are then applied.

Concealer: If you have dark circles and other marks, use a concealer to you advantage.

Powder: This is what creates the smooth layer that attracts attention. Wrinkles get hidden, and the ugliness takes on a new shine.

Blush: If nature did not give you a natural blush, help yourself with an artificial one. This defines the bone structure to prominence.

Bronzer: To obtain a glowing surface.

Lip liner: Allows the lipstick to stay on longer.

Lipstick: The mouth is a major sexual attraction. A wide variety of lipsticks are available - matte, satin, or glossy.

Eyeliner: The eyes are what do the talking when you are still some distance away from talking to your mate. Attract the mate, invite her, say you like her you're your eyes first. Eye mascara and eye shadow enhance the appeal further.

What type of makeup to apply, how much, and when depends often on your age, skin, looks, and occasion. Observing yourself under different makeup choices can help you find out what looks good on you.
