To begin with, before you apply any cosmetics to your face you will need to be in possession of a good brand of cleanser, toner and moisturiser. For those of you that are unfamiliar of what these collection of products do, I will now tell you. The cleanser simply removes dirt, oils, makeup and any other types of bacteria from your face. The toner basically gets rid of anything that the cleanser has disregarded including getting bacteria out of the pores of your face which are accessible only after you have cleansed; it also restores the pH levels of your skin. Lastly the moisturiser keeps in all the necessary oils and prevents it from being damaged by the environment. So with this process it keeps your skin feeling fresh, healthy looking and good for the long-term.

Now you have completed these first steps you will be ready to begin the process of applying your makeup. Initially you should always begin with the foundation. It is essential that you don't just wipe this on in any old manner, only use a modest amount and dab it on your forehead, cheeks and chin. When you have finished this begin to blend the foundation dots by using a spherical motion increasingly working outwards till the lines have become hidden.If you have any spots, pimples or other blemishes I advise the use of a concealer as these can do wonders hiding any imperfections.

Now that has been done you can start to build on it by using a blusher which is great for showing your cheeks off. Using a blusher is a great way to bring out a bright glow on your cheeks. By doing this you need a good brush because it can go terribly wrong with a cut-price brush that isn't made properly, so make sure your brush is high quality for the job in hand. To apply blusher simply smile so the apple of your cheeks are on show, then apply a little amount of powder onto your blusher brush and stroke it on each apple of your cheek then merge the colour in.

Following on from the above we can now look at applying eye makeup to your look. Eye makeup can differ for certain occasions, by this I mean day wear, social wear and evening wear. For this step we will use evening wear as this is most likely the most popular. For evening wear it is best to stay with stylish and warm colours such as browns, champagnes and gold's. To start off with I would apply black eyeliner which will give a startling, vibrant appearance and effect to each of your eyes. Then use your preference of eye shadow colour and apply it carefully. Finally use some black mascara to finalise the look of your eyes and consider to keep this stage effortless and don't cause yourself any complications.

To complete your overall look before you go out to wherever you are going to, don't forget lipstick. Firstly I would suggest outlining your lips with either a lip pencil or a lip liner, make sure that the colour of this liner closely resembles that of the lipstick you want to use otherwise it will look perculiar. For instance if you have a light shade of red lipstick don't use a dark coloured lip line colour because as you can predict it will look wrong! So once your lips have been lined apply your lipstick carefully then blend in the lined effect to complete your overall look.

There you have it! You are now looking the part and all set to dazzle and amaze.
