Keeping up With Beauty Trends

With fashion and beauty trends changing so rapidly, it’s hard to keep up with all of the different and fun makeup trends to try. Instead of waiting for advertisements to grab your attention, go online, and find what you like. You can do anything from following your favorite brand or an influencer on social media whose style you enjoy. You can also subscribe to certain lines of products that will email you with new product updates. 

Experimenting With Fun

If you are a bit of a newbie when it comes to the whole playing-with-makeup-thing, and the idea of purple mascara thrills and scares you a little at the same time, surf the web for tutorials! You may be surprised to learn how fun makeup colors can work in a variety of settings.

While it’s true that not every skin tone can pull off certain hues, purple is user-friendly across the board. Purples can be used with both cool or warm undertones, and who doesn’t want to add a splash of fun color, especially such a regal color, to their makeup pallet? Daytime makeup can transform into a fun night out by simply changing a matte look by adding some shimmer.

If you are looking to make your eyes smoky and sensual for a glamorous night out, you can still make it fun by adding a variety of blue eyeshadows. The secret is learning how to pair fun colors to make your eyes dramatic and alluring. One of the first things someone notices when they look at you is your eyes. Draw them in with a classy yet bold, dramatic look. 

Let Technology Help

With the virtual world blending so much with our day-to-day lives, there are plenty of things you can try without ever stepping a foot out the door. There are apps you can use that allow you to try makeup on and know exactly how certain shades will look on you. Can you imagine anything better than not wasting money on makeup you thought was a great idea, only to find the shades do nothing for the facial attributes you’re looking to enhance? 

Learn Application Techniques 

Whether you think of yourself as a makeup pro or have no idea where to begin, there are countless tips to help you make the most of your makeup. For example, when applying foundation, always use a downward motion. When applied upwards, it draws attention to the small facial hairs that most women have. 

Some products can be applied in different orders for more natural results, you can  find out more about online classes for makeup applications. In this way, you have an upper hand when it comes to learning new tricks on makeup. Blush will give you a more natural glow if you apply it before your foundation instead of after it. Play with your eyeshadow; it isn’t strictly for your eyes. You can use it as a blush, highlighter, or even a bronzer.

Instead of only using eyeliner to line your lids, you can use an angled brush and apply eyeshadow in its place for a more organic look. If you are trying to make the color of your shadow pop, first apply a base coat of white eyeliner. The results are dramatic!

Instead of paying astronomical prices for mascaras that promise to plump your lashes, use baby powder instead. After one coat of mascara, dust your lashes with baby powder then apply another coat. You will be amazed at the results. Speaking of mascara, if you find your mascara is getting slightly dry or clumpy (which is a nightmare to apply), add a couple of drops of contact cleaning solution to the tube and kiss your troubles goodbye. 

Don’t be afraid to play around with your makeup and see what works best for you. You just might amaze yourself and wonder why you haven’t done it sooner.
