10 Tips eye makeup for girl

When taking baby steps towards makeup application, the first milestone we cross is that of eye makeup. Earlier, swiping on a little kohl used to be enough. As a beginner, all that the makeup world has to offer can seem a little overwhelming. Making mistakes is part of the learning process, and yet they can be easily avoided. Here are 10 basic eye makeup tips for beginners that will take you from being a starter to a star when it comes to eye makeup!

1. In case you are using an eyelash curler after applying the mascara, ensure the mascara on the eyes is semi-wet and not dry.

2. Use a makeup remover so that your eyelids are oil/grease-free to ensure a smudge-proof application with the eyeliner.

3. To get that perfect wing while using an eyeliner, keep your eyes open, look straight into the mirror, and line the outer corners of the eyes.

4. Make sure you apply the eyeliner as close to the lash line as possible so that it appears to be a part of your natural lashline.

5. To achieve a soft smoky eye, go for pencil eyeliner as it tends to be softer and creamier. Apply it on the eyelids and smudge it with your finger so that it looks more natural and gorgeous.

6. As you age, you might be reluctant to use an eyeliner. You don’t have to stop using the eyeliner, rather, opt for more subtle colors, such as brown and grey, and apply lots of mascara to complement the look.

7. How can we talk about eye makeup and not talk about mascara? Here are some important tips for proper mascara application.

8. Start applying the mascara from the roots of your lashes and not the tips. This technique gives you enough volume and doesn’t weigh down your eyelashes.

9. To prevent your lashes from looking clumpy, coat on layers of mascara, depending on the desired volume.

10. To make your mascara last longer, avoid pumping the wand while pulling out the mascara. Instead, swirl it. This also doesn’t dry out the mascara.

While applying the mascara on the lower lashes, place a tissue paper right under your lashes to prevent smudging your makeup.

Meet the Foundation of Your Future: 7 Serum Foundation very good

Once upon a time—let’s call it the nineties—it was acceptable for a foundation to conceal imperfections and correct tone. Then along came tinted moisturizers (coverage and face cream in one!), which introduced the concept of hybrids and changed the skin care game. A checklist of multitasking formulas—BB! CC! DD!—followed suit, promising to not only camouflage but also problem-solve with active ingredients. Now, a new wave of treatment-meets-makeup—known as serum-foundation—promises to pack even more of a punch than its predecessors.

If serums are the superheroes of skin care—targeting issues from dullness to dark spots and redness while maintaining a lightweight, nearly invisible texture—think of serum-foundations as their slightly more charming cousins. Josie Maran’s new Argan Matchmaker Serum Foundation, for example, seems to anticipate your every need: Spiked with clear, chameleon-like pigments, it automatically color corrects on contact, hydrates with organic argan oil, and somehow, simultaneously, also balances excessive shine.

As weightless as a summer slipdress, Dior’s Nude Air Serum defies humidity while its high-tech pigments remain suspended over skin, seemingly immune from settling into fine lines. For makeup artist Bobbi Brown, developing a formula with short- and long-term treatment benefits was key. “I wanted to create a foundation that improves skin over time so it looks and feels healthier,” says Brown of her Intensive Skin Serum Foundation with SPF 40, which takes on natural factors like aging, as well as sun damage, using a thoughtful combination of restorative mushroom, brightening bamboo grass, and hydrating fruit extracts.

With that in mind, we’ve culled together our list of the seven transformative formulas worth warming up to this season.

Top 5: Red Lipsticks and how to choose your red lipstick

Choosing the right red lipstick is about as fun as cleaning the toilets. Seriously.  I want to cry when I go to the store and try to figure out which red lipstick is going to look best on me! BUT, after many trials on clients (poor gals had to be my guinea pigs- hey, someone has to do it!)  I don’t have it narrowed down to a science, but I think I have some pointers that will make choosing the right red lipstick less of a chore ;)

IT’S NOT NECESSARILY THE COLOR, BUT HOW BRIGHT OR INTENSE IT IS….

If you do a google search for “picking the right red lipstick”, you’ll come up with 318,000 results.  You know what each of those articles have to say?  Something totally different.  Everyone has a different answer! So how’s a girl to figure this out??

What I’ve figured out, is it’s not just the actual color- whether it be orange-red, blue-red, or true red, but how bright that color is against the skin.   Orange reds tend to be brighter as orange is an eye catching color (think fire or Carrot Top’s Hair– um… ew!)

If you have fair skin, orange-reds are going to pop quite a bit more as brighter colors are more noticeable on paler skin.  This doesn’t mean if you have pale skin, you can’t make it work- it just means, it’s going to pop more.  Darker skin beauties have an easier time pulling off the orange-reds since dark skin can handle brighter colors-  there’s less of a contrast.  BUT, darker skin also looks beautiful in blue reds- it just doesn’t pop as much as the orange reds.  Make sense?

OK, here’s why picking the correct lipstick is so. dang. hard. Things such as hair and eye color can also affect how a lipstick looks, plus what eye makeup you wear can throw off the color as well….

Here is a picture of Penelope Cruz pulling off an orange-red lipstick, as she is a bit darker and has warm undertones to her skin:

Contrary to what most articles say (fair skin should only wear blue-red lipsticks), here’s an example of Mischa Barton pulling off an orange red lipstick:

This lipstick really pops against Mischa’s fair skin, but she pulls off this color by wearing some darker eye makeup to balance out the bright lips as well as having her hair up in an elegant style.  (I doubt if Mischa wore no eye makeup and had her hair down, that she would still be able to pull this lipstick off)

Here, Beyonce is pulling off a gorgeous true red that pops against her skin as it’s not too dark or too orange.

Marlena’s Tip: To pull off a brighter lip, you need to wear a good 2 coats of mascara (or falsies) and some darker liner to balance it out.  You definitely don’t want anything too dramatic on the eyes as it’s overdone, but you need some eye makeup so the lips aren’t screaming “look at me! look at me!”

And yes, you CAN wear eyeshadow with red lips- it just needs to be neutral colors or not too bright or dramatic…

Here’s some examples of lipsticks too intense in color for their skin:

They all have fair skin and are wearing cool toned (blue-red) lipsticks, BUT one important factor…. the color is too intense for their fair skin.  Plus, their eye makeup is so minimal that their lips are screaming for all the attention, making the face look out of balance.

With all that being said, here is my top 5 lipsticks that I believe almost anyone can pull off- simply because they aren’t too orange, too blue, or too intense in color..

Makeup routine with 5-minute

You wake up a bit later than intended, and because you’ve had to hit the ground running, you end up changing your outfit three times. That leaves five minutes to put on your make­up Routine. What’s the best way to make that work? We asked David Goveia, one of Canada’s premier makeup artists, for help.

Toronto-based Goveia has worked with a galaxy of celebrities, from film stars Cameron Diaz and Keira Knightley to supermodels Daria Werbowy and Shalom Harlow. But he’s also often called upon for photo shoots of ‘real’ women. ‘I like to use products that deliver the biggest punch for the least amount of effort,’ says Goveia. ‘You should not have to spend more than five minutes on your makeup each morning.’

He suggests this routine, with a bonus: extra tips for those days when you have an extra minute (when you haven’t pressed the snooze button one too many times).

Start with a clean moisturized face. Then you have a couple of choices:

Option A: Primer

For some women, depending on the coverage needed, wearing a primer can lessen (or even eliminate) the need for concealer and foundation, according to Goveia. ‘That saves you minutes right there,’ he says.

These skin smoothers, which come as translucent lotions or in creamier white formulas, are used as a base for all makeup and go on after your moisturizer. They aren’t typically cited as an essential, but Goveia really likes them. ‘Everyone can benefit from one. They contain a little silicone and keep everything nice and smooth, preventing make­­up from disappearing.’

You apply primer as you would moisturizer: Using fingertips, completely cover the face.

How to Apply Blush, Do you Know?

Blush, makeup’s unsung hero, instantly renders you less tired looking, more polished. Brush up on how to get it right.

Where to Apply It

Blush creates an optical illusion, drawing the eye wherever you dust it on. The best place to put it depends on the shape of your face.

To slim a round face: Sweep it along your cheekbones (suck in your cheeks to locate them) and extend the color out to your temples.

To balance a heart-shaped face: Apply blush below the apples (the meatiest parts) of your cheeks and blend out to your hairline.

To soften a long face: Blend blush beneath your apples, but not out to your temples.

How to Pick the Right Shade

Most makeup artists say that to find the blush that suits your complexion best, you should choose one based on your skin’s undertones. Of course, unless you’re a makeup artist, you may not be clear on the concept. “The idea is to use a blush that plays up or down—depending on the effect you’re after—all the subtle colors naturally found in your skin,” says Kate McCarthy, national makeup artist for GloMinerals, in New York City. Still need clarification? If you tan easily or your skin is olive, chances are you have gold or yellow undertones. If you blush readily, yours are probably pink or red. If your complexion is dark, you probably have plum or blue undertones.

Gold or yellow undertones: Pick orange or reddish pinks. They enhance brightness and diminish sallowness.

Pink or red undertones: Stick with light pinks to complement your coloring (for a natural look), or try peach or mocha to cut redness.

Plum or blue undertones: Opt for vivid oranges or pinks, which will stand out against your skin.

Blush FAQ

How Much Should I Wear?

“More than you think,” says Mathew Nigara, a makeup artist for NYC Color Cosmetics. (You want blush to show, not blend in like foundation.) So it’s best to be slightly heavy-handed—a swipe or two past what you think looks natural. “Once you’ve been moving around for a few minutes, your body temperature heats up, which makes even stains begin to fade a bit,” says Nigara. “So the contrast won’t be as jarring.”

What’s the Best Tool for Applying?

For creams, fingers work color into skin best. For powder formulas, a wide-headed loose-powder brush may be more user-friendly than a traditional blush brush, since it’s better at distributing color. Smooth on gels and stains with a synthetic makeup wedge.

What’s the Difference Between Blush and Bronzer?

“Blush gives your face a concentrated pop of color, while bronzer can be used all over your face for a healthy glow,” says makeup artist Paula Dorf, the creator of Paula Dorf Cosmetics. You’ll want to use a lighter hand with bronzer; apply a single sweep wherever the sun would hit: forehead, cheeks, chin, and down the bridge of your nose.

The 5 Most Common Mascara Mistakes

1. You start with your top lashes.

You know those annoying dots you get on your eyelids and under your eyes? To prevent those, start with your bottom lashes when putting on your mascara. Otherwise your top lashes will smudge when you look down. When doing your top lashes, look straight ahead and place your wand at the base of your lashes. Then, use a zig-zagging motion while moving the wand up your lashes, recommends Marlena, founder and CEO of the blog Makeup Geek. "This will help give your lashes a curled effect. Keep repeating this until you get your lashes as thick as you want, usually two to three coats. When it comes to the bottom lashes, tilt your head forward slightly to keep from getting mascara onto your cheek." You can also use a credit card, business card, or small piece of paper to keep your mascara from traveling.

2. You pump the wand too much.

Are you spending more time separating your lashes than actually putting on mascara? Here's a quick fix: "Don't pump the wand in and out of the bottle," says Marlena. "This pushes air into the tube, which will make the mascara dry out faster, causing clumping and flaking." Here's the wrong way to do it:

"Instead, gently twist the wand back and forth or in circular motions to pick up the desired amount of product," advises Marlena, like so:

If all else fails, make sure you have a lash separator on hand (you can use an old wand for this — just wash it first).

3. You're not wiping off the brush first.

Clumpy mascara does not make for pretty, separated lashes, yet most mascara brushes pick up a ton of product — much of which you don't need. After you remove your brush from the tube, gently wipe the excess mascara off on a tissue. That way, you'll wind up with lengthened lashes that look like eyelash extensions, not a spidery mess.

4. You use old mascara.

To avoid infection, you should regularly replace anything that comes in contact with your eyes, Dr. Debra Jaliman, a New York City dermatologist, told Good Housekeeping. In case of mascara, six months is a good rule of thumb — though you should toss it earlier if it gets clumpy. This will also help you avoid the clumping problem.

5. You're afraid of your eyelash curler (or don't own one).

Curling your eyelashes can help make your eyes look bigger. "The main thing when applying mascara is definitely beginning with opening up the eyes," says Kashuk. "An eyelash curler goes hand in hand with mascara." Start at the root of your lashes, being careful not to get any skin into the curler. Press it together and hold it for about 10 seconds, then move it out to the end of your lashes and repeat. Behold the difference:
