Makeup Tools
To make your makeup reallybeautiful, we need quality tools. Do not apply all shades of shadows with one brush or shade a blush with a sponge. Let's see what tools each girl in the cosmetic bag must have.
- Brushes for shadows of different sizes;
- round brush for feathering;
- Brush for eyebrows;
- Brush for powder and blush;
- sponge-sponge for tonal basis;
- wadding sticks, disks, makeup remover.
Of course, this is not a complete list.The real make-up artist has many other brushes and applicators of different shapes, sizes and materials. By the way, a little advice for choosing brushes: if they are purchased for fatty means, such as a foundation, a corrector, glitter and lipsticks, etc., it is better to take a brush with artificial nap. And for crumbly products are ideal natural (they cause less allergic reactions).
When selecting brushes, be sure to pay attentionnot only on the quality of the pile and the convenience of the handle, but also on how well the fluffy part is fixed. Otherwise, you may encounter such unpleasantness as getting out hairs and uneven make-up.
Sponge-sponges and applicators should be purchased withreserve. First, you can use up to 3 shades of cosmetics, and mixing them is not recommended. Secondly, after application these tools need a good washing, because fatty bases - this is an excellent environment for the reproduction of bacteria.
Rules of beautiful makeup
Make-up for girls is a whole science, there are many rules in it, remembering from the first time is not always easy. Therefore, we will try to consider only the most important, so to speak, basics.

- Before applying make-up, clean the skin and moisten it with tonic.
- Be sure to use a base under makeup (a regular cream will do).
- Perform makeup step by step, slowly, starting with large areas and gradually moving to small.
- The workplace should be well lit, remember that ordinary electric light can distort the shades of cosmetics.
- Remember the rule of one accent: highlight the eyes or lips.
- For evening make-up, you can use brighter shades and sparkles. For the same day option, it is better to take calm pastel shades of matte shadows.

Basic Errors
Remember how it was in the fairy tale about Cinderella?"I'm not a magician, I'm just learning". So you are just learning how to make a competent makeup. Therefore, do not be afraid to stumble. But the most common mistakes we still consider.
- Unsuitable colors.The use of too dark or light shade of foundation and powder, inharmonious shadows and lipstick creates an impression of bad taste, and also makes the face unreal, puppet and rough. It is better to combine different shades to create a relief.
- Someone else's makeup.Often girlfriends throw off the contents of their cosmetics in one pile when they are not going to a party. So you should not use someone else's makeup, unless you probably do not know that the hostess uses brushes and applicators. Otherwise, there is a risk of earning any skin infection or irritation.
- Low quality cosmetics. Remember, your skin is the same organ as your heart or kidneys. And she needs the right care. Do not use low-quality or expired cosmetics.
