Makeup: What Enhances Our Beauty?

Beauty is essential in human existence. It can serve as a tool for a woman to achieve her dreams and ambitions. Idealists say that beauty is skin deep. Reality, however, shows that outside appearance is what matters most in this image-driven world. How we look, dress, and act builds the first impression we need to create in order to encourage others to get to know us more if not better and gain their approval if not acceptance. Indeed, beauty is now measured inside and out whether we like it or not. Good moral values should now be complemented with a pleasing face value. And this is where makeup should come handy.

Makeup is a type of cosmetics that helps one achieve a look or outside appearance that he or she desires. With the correct application of colors in the face, women and even men can either enhance their facial assets or hide their facial problems. In short, makeup helps one to look desirably beautiful or handsome. Of course, proper expertise in makeup application is required to achieve this.

Basically, a makeup is composed of foundation, face powder, eye shadow, eye liner, mascara, blusher, lipstick, and lip gloss. All these must come together to create the desired perfect look for your face. These would really help enhance our beauty.

A good makeup starts with applying an even foundation, which serves as base for other makeup cosmetics and helps conceal uneven skin tone. Foundation usually comes in cake, semi-solid, cream, or liquid form. Face powder then follows to give the face a dull, matte finish. The eyes should then be given the primary attention with the use of eye shadow, eye liner, and mascara. Apply a rouge or blusher afterwards on the cheeks to give it a soft warm glow. Finally, put your efforts on the lips with the use of lipstick and lip gloss. You may also use a lip pencil to properly outline your lips to a luscious look.

One can opt to have a professional apply makeup on his or her face to achieve the picture perfect look but he or she can also do on his or her own. Proper makeup application can be learned through experience while applying makeup or through an advice from a professional makeup artist. One can also consult beauty magazines or websites that tackle a lot of makeup buying and application tips, which can guide one in achieving that perfect beauty.
