Today we have all the information and tools we need to conceal, highlight and contour our face with makeup. You can use it to enlarge, separate, lower, hide, highlight and create the face you want, making these changes with appropriate techniques in order to look like a real model without having to hire a makeup artist.
After your face cleansing routine, start spreading the foundation that suits your skin tone. Then, in strategic areas such as the hairline, right below the cheekbones, under the chin, around and under your nose, apply a darker tone of foundation to give your face some depth, and remember you can change the shape of your face in the areas you consider necessary.
Similarly, with a color of foundation that’s lighter than your skin tone, highlight the tip of your nose to form a kind of ‘palm tree’ in the center of your forehead, on your cheeks, on your chin and under your eyes, spreading the product to get the light you need in these areas in order to contour your face.
Now you should integrate the light and dark foundation to make it look harmonic. This procedure is the secret to change your features without the need for a plastic surgery, painful or risky procedures. This procedure is special, but if you want to use it in a daily basis, you need to know that it requires time, although everything can be done faster if it becomes a routine.
Using the appropriate techniques to look pretty and charming is essential, because not doing it properly could do the opposite. Remember that your face is your business card, because that’s the first thing people see when they look at you, and you want to cause a pleasant impact, of course.
The corrections you want to make on your face can be done in different ways, but remember you need to respect your skin’s natural tone and the right color for what you want to conceal. For example, if you want to cover a vein, you need to check if it’s blue or red; if you want to hide your dark circles, then you need to check if they’re not too deep, not too dark, if they’re grey or more bluish, anyway…You must take different things into account in order to get a perfect makeup.
A concealer palette offers you a wide variety of tones you might need to use, from white to beige or orange, yellow, blue, green or even a deep brown that may become your best ally, since it’s the best way to give your face some depth.
