REFRESHING A TIRED FACE WITH MAKEUP...

When a person is tired and exhausted, it is sure to show on their faces. Makeup is a great ally in covering up fatigue as long as you know how to use it. It is not the quantity of make up that will help you cover up the signs of sleepless nights, but the wise combination of colors.

For red eyes

Bloodshot eyes are signs that you are in dire need of sleep. However if you still have a few hours of the work day to go, you will have to resort to makeup.

Skin with warm undertone: (Yellow or peachy complexion).

• You can neutralize the effect of red eyes with a golden shadow and eye liner and or mascara.
• Apply blush in sparkling champagne color around the eyes and on the cheekbones. This will open the eyes.
• Mocha colored shades will refresh the look of your eyes.
• Black mascara will create contrast and the redness of your eyeballs will be neutralized.
• Trace the lips with a pencil lip liner in chocolate color and fill in with yellowish brown lipstick. Cover with light pink gloss.

Skin with cool undertone: (very dark brown complexion).

• Use eye shadows and eye liner with blue undertones.
• Apply eye shadow to the eyelid just below the eyebrow.
• Accentuate on the base of the lid with dark blue or gray in order to open up the eye.
• Outline your lips with plum colored pencil lip liner and fill in with lipstick the color of wild berries. Cover with clear lip gloss.
• Avoid applying makeup in pink, violet or red tones.

For dark circles

In order to mask over dark circles you don’t need to use double amount of concealer, foundation and eye makeup. This will not help you hide fatigue. It will only make you look even worse,

Instead apply strong moisturising lotion to the area around the eyes and follow with a thin layer of concealer (with yellow or green undertones) and foundation.

To reduce the visibilities of dark circles:

• Pay attention to shadows.
• Forget about applying mascara to the lower lashes.
• Do not use the same tone of eyeliner for outlining the whole lid. Apply eyeliner to the upper lid and the outer corner of the lower lid.
• Avoid using shadows in peach, purple and dark tones.

Skin with warm undertones

• Use golden tones on your upper eyelid just below the eyebrow
• Apply sandy tones to your lid beneath the fold.
• Outline the eye with warm brown or dark green eyeliner.
• Apply brown or black mascara only to the upper lashes, because applying it to the lower lashes will only make the dark circles more visible.
• Add a second layer of mascara only to the outer corner of your lashes in order to make the eyes look more open.
• Highlight your lips with a light brown eyeliner and a beige gloss.

Skin with cool undertones

• Apply cinnamon colored eye shadow below the eyebrows.
• After that apply sandy nuances over the movable part of the lid.
• Trace the eyes with eyeliner in black.
• Use brown mascara for a softening effect.
• Outline the lips with pencil lip liner in a neutral color and fill them in with a light-brown lipstick and gloss.

Questions and comments are greatly appreciated. Look forward to hearing from you.

Enjoy your week…
