What makeup colors and techniques work varies from person to person. What works for one person, might not work for someone else for a lot of different reasons. Even though people might be better off using different colors and brands of makeup, there are a few simple tips that can benefit everyone who uses makeup.

First, we should consider makeup application. The most important thing when it comes to applying makeup is to be gentle. Your face and skin are some of the most delicate parts of our bodies. Your face is also the thing that everybody sees each day so it is important to treat it with care to help it last. If you are rough in applying any of your makeup, but especially makeup around the eyes, you can get premature wrinkles and damage the skin permanently.

One of the best tips to avoid this is to use your ring finger when applying lip gloss, eye cream, or any makeup really around sensitive areas. It is natural to want to use your strongest fingers to apply, usually your pointer finger. But stronger, in this case, isn’t always better. Your ring finger or pinky even will have a much more delicate touch helping to preserve your beautiful features longer.

Another general tip that applies to almost everyone is to think about your audience when applying your makeup. Your audience can be your co-workers, your friends, or even a date. You want to be sure the look is appropriate for the occasion.

Try a simple gloss and mascara with perhaps a bit of a bronzer to give your face some color. Of course there may be occasions during the day that call for a more glamoured up look. You can be the judge of that, but just remember, the best makeup application is meant to enhance your true beauty, not make you noticeable from a street corner.

Evening occasions such as dining out or going to a club, might call for a little bit more dramatic look. The lighting is often dim and you are usually wearing something a little fancier. You don’t want your face to be outdone by your outfit.

When it comes to makeup, really anything goes. It is up to you to decide what looks best on you and what you like. But if you stick to these simple rules as guidelines, you’re sure to make the most of your beauty.
