  Primers are like bases for makeup. If you think of a house or piece of furniture that needs to be painted, the base coat placed before the colored paint is much like the primer on the face. It is something that makeup artists say helps moisturize, even out the skin tone, and helps keep the makeup on for much longer. It is so helpful in keeping oil production on the face down that most professionals say a face isn’t complete without this first application.

  So, if you are a newbie, getting a primer and including this in step one of your makeup routine should be simple. If you are seasoned, some adjustment will see better coverage and more lasting makeup once applied.

  Your eyes are the most striking feature of your face, so it’s important that you emphasize them as much as possible. Mascara is one of the most versatile make-up tools you can use; on their own they look great, and they give your eyes more oomph when worn with eyeshadow. When applying mascara, hold your eyelid taut by putting a finger on the middle of your lid and pulling it up. For short eyelashes, use lengthening mascara; if you have thin eyelashes, use volumizing mascara. Those with sensitive eyes and contact lenses should wear gentle mascara. Finally, waterproof mascara is best for rainy seasons.

• Mascara on The Eyes, More drama

  Mascara is a must for eyes which gives more emphasis around the eyes. Curl your lashes before you apply them to give it more drama and life. If you tend to smudge the lower lids, stay away from them and focus on the upper lashes to minimize time spent on trying to perfect your eyes. Choose colors that are opposite the color of your eyes for contrasting colors work better. To get a smoky effect around your eyes apply a black line on the inside using a black pencil. If you use cream shadows on your eyes, use only on the lid and not on the creases so they don’t emphasize the creases and create a greasy mess.

  For all skin types and best for oily skin is Powder blush. It is the densest blusher and long-lasting color; The Cream Blush is the type best applied with fingers. It is particularly suited for dry skin because of its rich moisturizing ingredients. For a sheer glow, the Gel blush work best on oily to normal skin and are not hard to spread since they are fast-drying. Tint Blush is fast drying like the gel blush.
