Makeup and manicure are a part of the look just like the outfit. They can make or break it so it’s important to known what can be matched and what can be coordinated. When choosing makeup for an outfit, remember about the contrast and the balance:

Contrast makes things interesting. It mixes up things to make the look eye catchy and give it some character.

Balance keeps things under control preventing the look from going overboard. So matching a few things in the look can make it look more consistent and though out.

Matching manicure and pedicure: an old rule doesn’t have to be followed strictly. In order to get a flattering look opt for colors in manicure and pedicure that coordinate well.

Matching lipstick to nail polish: This is acceptable. In fact every other makeup ad shows a model wearing matching lipstick and nail polish. Though this is not necessarily a rule and one can wear different lip color and nail polish.

Matching lipstick to a dress/outfit: This is interesting. There are so many nuances to be considered. Matching lipstick to a dress can be tricky and sometimes look too overloaded. In this case try distributing colors evenly, for example matching lipstick to an accessory or shoes. If wearing an ensemble then try matching lipstick to a skirt or pants. Also be sure not to overload the look with accents in one color.

As for eye makeup opt for colors that complement the dress color. It is acceptable to wear eyeshadow of similar color as the dress or top but then it’s better to go with tame lips.

Matching lipstick to eye makeup: It’s better to keep these two at least somewhat different. Besides if wearing bright lips it’s better to keep the eyes tame and vice versa.

How to coordinate lipstick and blush: When choosing blush to coordinate with the lipstick make sure the colors go well together. It’s better to keep them somewhat similar.

The Difference

First of all, let’s see the difference. Matte finish is smooth and even without shiny spots. It doesn’t glow or shine which is exact opposite of dewy makeup. The latter gives the skin a light shine as if the skin is well moisturized but not greasy.

Which One To Choose

Dewy makeup suits the dry skin while the matte finish helps keep the oily skin from shining. But it doesn’t mean you can’t have both or try to combine these. Prep oily skin with water-based moisturizer but stay away from the T-zone. Opt for skin-colored sheer tint. Make sure the products are lightweight and free from shimmer. Again when applying it stay away from the T-zone.

Prep dry skin with moisturizer, let it sit in for 15 minutes and then apply moisturizing tint or sheer foundation. After applying foundation or tint you can do the rest of makeup. Normal healthy skin can handle the foundation-free look with a bit of concealer and shimmery powder.

Matte look is achieved with matte foundation or matte face powder. For dry skin it’s important to moisturize face well before applying matte makeup as it may show off the dry skin. In order to prevent shine in oily skin opt for water-based moisturizers, alcohol-free tonics, oil-free products and mild cleansers that do not dry out the skin as it’s forcing it to produce even more oil.

Tips & Tricks

• For dewy look use cream blush to keep it sheer and light.
• Use highlighter at the highest point of your face.
• Shimmery powder can help create dewy look without foundation.

• Matte is not caky. Be careful using too much foundation and powder.
• Matte powder gives the face a smooth finish.
• Be careful with matte lip color if lips are thin.

You can always combine these too especially if skin is mixed. Just know your skin type and pick up tips that deal with that type of skin.

Blush is an indispensible ‘makeup tool’ in creating radiant beauty look. It can perfectly complement your beauty accentuating your assets, as well as spoil even perfectly-done makeup. Therefore you are to be very careful while choosing and applying blush. Use our tips to make a wise choice and learn the technique of proper blush application.

Actually blush has a very long history. Women have started using blush since ancient times. Ancient Greek women for instance used blended wild strawberry, mulberry and beetroot juice as a blusher. Mercifully, now we have our modern blush variations, among which are cream and powder blushes and even blush balls.

Powder blush is a perfect option if you want to create natural beauty look almost effortlessly, just apply a bit of powder blush to your cheekbones after the application of foundation and powder, using a wide brush.

While cream blushes require more skillful application technique. You are to apply a bit of cream blush to your cheekbones before applying foundation and powder using your fingertips or a special sponge and after blend it carefully to soften well-defined borders. Cream blush is the best beauty option for women with dry skin as it contains more moisturizing components and natural oils. However cream blush would turn out to be suitable for every skin type as an integral part of a fabulous evening makeup.

And quite the contrary gel or liquid blush doesn’t contain moisturizing components or oils, that is why it tends to dry faster. Therefore it is better to apply gel blush before the application of foundation and powder. Besides, gel and liquid blush are considered to be more lasting than other blush types.

Blush Application Tips

Well, now let’s sort out how blush should be applied. The most important here is to define the area of blush application. Actually it is very easy to do, just smile at yourself broadly yet naturally in mirror. Your smile would define the contour of your cheekbones to which blush should be applied.

If you apply blush using a makeup brush then move it up and down to create the even coat, but if you use sponge then circular motion technique is exactly what you need.

To choose the most suitable tone of blush you need to remember that crimson and beige-pink shades work best on dark skin tone, while pink-pale shades are the perfect option for fair-skinned beauties. Peachy blush tone is considered to be universal and works best for almost every skin tone.

Face shape also plays important role in blush application technique. Makeup artists claim that women having round face shape need to apply blush from the cheekbones to temples, while women having lantern jaws should apply blush from temples to cheekbones.

Wow! It has finally happened! He, your Prince Charming, has asked you out… and here all hell broke loose. The only thing you want is to impress him. You’ve already elaborated your first-date look, having chosen your best outfit, having decided how to style you hair and the only thing left is your first-date makeup. Take your time and learn our first-date makeup tips to look your best!

The most important thing about first-date makeup is naturalness. You shouldn’t apply several coats of foundation, make dramatic eye makeup or accentuate your pouts with flashy red lipstick. Remember that it is much better to gamble on your natural beauty, accentuating it slightly with the help of makeup than applying war paint that would make you transform beyond recognition.

The next thing is that first-date makeup should be subtle including delicate makeup colors. A slight touch of rosy or peachy blush to the apples of your cheekbones would revive your look and add delicate romantic glow.

Opt for a stay-color and what is more important lasting makeup foundation. Apply it with the help of a sponge to get even complexion, wait for a couple of minutes for foundation to soak and then remove any excesses using a cosmetic pad.

The best beauty combo for first-date eye makeup is mascara and waterproof eyeliner. It is better to skip eyeshadow in order not to worry it can slide off. Lengthening and volumizing mascara plus lasting waterproof eyeliner would be enough to accentuate your eyes.

Lips should be left natural, avoid applying lipstick or lip contour if you want lips to look kissable. But it is essential to keep your lips moisturized and soft. Opt for lip balm or delicate lip gloss.

Following out tips carefully, you can forget about your makeup and enjoy your first date!

Berry Pouts

Juicy strawberry and raspberry lipstick shades are the must-haves for Summer 2011 makeup, especially if combined with ultra-fashionable matte effect. Such bright berry pouts can easily revive your beauty look adding alluring fresh zest. But remember two basic no-nos to avoid a makeup disaster.

Firstly bright pouts must NOT be coupled with dramatic eye makeup! Never! Not at any prix! And second make sure you bright lip makeup suits your complexion.

Peachy Cheeks

If it concerns summer makeup we instinctively prefer light textured makeup products, that’s why makeup artists unanimously advise us to opt for powder blush instead of its gel counterpart. Concerning color, peachy hues are indispensible for trendy summer 2011 makeup. Freshen up your beauty look slightly touching the apples of cheeks with peachy colored blush. For cooler complexion turn to the pinkish version of peachy blush, while shade that has more orange will be the most suitable for the warmer skin tone.
