Stay tuned for our article on “WHAT COLOR LIPSTICK IS BEST FOR MY SKIN TONE?”

STEPS ON HOW TO APPLY LIPSTICK TO YOUR LIPS

STEP 1

BEGIN WITH CHOOSING YOUR LIP LINER AND LIPSTICK

Choose a lip liner and a lipstick that match in color.

STEP 2

EXFOLIATION

Every makeup routine starts with cleansing and exfoliation, and the same applies to the lips. Begin by treating the pout to some much-required exfoliation ritual. A lip scrub helps you to get rid of the dead skin cells and allows the lipstick and lip liner to work in a smooth way on your lips.

Clean and exfoliate your lips with a dry, soft-bristled toothbrush or wet, warm washcloth. This will remove any dead and dry skin from your lips before you apply lipstick.

STEP 3

LIP PRIMER OR FOUNDATION

Once you are done with the exfoliation, prime the pucker. The primer helps keep the lippie much longer. It helps enhance the permanence of your lip color.

Apply foundation to your lips as well as your face. Allow it to dry for a just a few seconds. You can even brush some face powder if you wish. This provides a base for putting on the lip liner and lipstick.

STEP 4

TRACE LIP LINE

Start by lining around your natural lip line, put a little extra emphasis on the top lip, and then simply filling your lips in with the color of your choice.

After prepping your lips, it’s time to put your liner to work. Depending on the desired results, this step may take a few tires, especially if you are relatively new at liner. However, in selecting the right shade and the strategically apply your product, you can get that fuller finish you crave.

Close mouth, beginning at the “V” shape in your upper lips lining around your natural lip line, take a sharp lip liner pencil and use short strokes to follow the lip line to the corner of your month, put a little extra emphasis on the top. Repeat on the other side of the upper lip. When you finish with the upper lip, start at the middle of the bottom lip, just inside the natural lip line, and move to the outward corners as you did for the top lip.

Fill in the rest of the lips with lip liner. This step is mandatory, but it will make your lipstick last longer.

STEP 5

STAIN LIPS

Apply a lips stain or powder before rubbing in the real lip color, it’s a great way to get bullet proof lip. It also helps setting the lip look and keeping the color in place, preventing color bleeding.

STEP 6

APPLY LIPSTICK

Use a lip brush to apply your lipstick, beginning with the center of your lips and brushing outward. The lip brush allows your lipstick to go on more evenly and gives you more control. You can also add a frosted shade to your upper lip to make your lips look even fuller.

STEP 7

CONCEAL YOUR LIPS

After you apply lip stick to your lips, you need to conceal the fine lines around your lips. Many reason, cause these lines, the biggest culprit being, dry skin. While you need to start moisturizing your lips and skin around it for long term results, dab some concealer to buff away the lines for a quick solution !

STEP 8

PLAY UP THE PUCKER

Just like you would creatively line your eyes, there are a variety of playful ways to enhance your lips. And whether you want more juicy or dramatic results, you can use ready to grab tools like lip gloss or highlighter to totally help you out.

To enhance your lips even more, make up artist Anne Marie DeMauro using makeup essentials like lip gloss, to feign that plumper appearance pronto.

“After applying your base color, dab a small dot of shimmer gloss right in the center of the bottom lip, “says Anne Marie DeMauro. “This will visually round out the lip and create a plumper appearance as well as some glamorous pop of shine.”

Love that sultry lip that keeps him coming back for more ? To get that juicy appearance, creating an ombre effect can definitely create the irresistible impact.

“To make your lips look fuller with more shape use a darker colour on the outside and a slightly brighter in the middle of the lips,” adds Jamie Greenberg. “The illusion you want to portray is juicy lips.”

STEP 9

SEAL LIPS

Now that you have spent all this time doing your lips, you’ll definitely want your look to last. Grab a one-ply tissue (or just pull some two-ply toilet paper in half) or a blotting sheet and hold it over your lips. Pick up your translucent powder again and lightly and dust it over the tissue. This will really seal in your lipstick. Re-apply more lipstick with the lip brush if you want to increase the wear-time of your lipstick.

This is a good trick even if you’re not overdrawing your lips. BUT, don’t do it when you are wearing ultra-glossy lipstick, highlighter or lips gloss . It’ll just make a gooey mess.

TIPS

DO’S

Invest in a good lip brush. When you are first perfecting your lip lining skills, you’ll probably end up with more than a few wonky looking lines. A good lip brush can smudge those lines ever so slightly to create a more natural, even look.

Pay attention to your cupid bow. It can be tricky to properly line it (that little dip in the middle of your top lip). Rather than attempting to follow the lines of your cupid bows exactly, just draw an X. The X-shape will create the illusion of a strong cupid’s bow without looking overdone. If your X looks too sharp, grab your lip brush and blend.

Experiment with bright lip liner. Layer a cherry colour lip liner underneath our dusty rose lipstick to add a fresh life to it. Try a bubble gum pink shade of lip liner then cover it with some gloss for a vibrant glow.

Remember to line the corners of your lips. For a natural look, it’s important to cover every little spec of space on your lips. If you leave the corners of your mouth unlined, you’ll end up with unnatural looking coverage or feathered lipsticks.

DON’TS

Don’t use straight lines. On your try, you will probably be tempted to just draw one straight line around your lip. Resist the urge ! Use a series of short lines. It is so much easier that way and I’ll create a much more natural effect. You don’t want it looking like you literally drew a circle around your month. The goal is to have your lip liner simply be invisible.

Don’t overdraw your lips. I know this is a trend right now and I know that I just told you to overdraw around your cupid bow but trust me here. You don’t want to over draw your lips. If you must overdraw your lips, wait until you’ve got a little more experience under your belt. Master the basic lining skills before you jump into anything more advance.

Don’t go too dark. If you can’t decide between two different shades of lip liner, always go for the lighter one. Dark colors are just too hard to work with and they look downright dreary on a lot of different skin tones.

Don’t forget about the corners of your mouth. Doing so causes a break in the natural flow and line in your lips.

CONCLUSION

In this discussion, we have tried to describe how to apply lipstick to top heavy lips, how to identify if you have top heavy lips and also do’s & don’ts tips.

Best of luck!!

HOW TO APPLY LIPSTICK TO UNEVEN LIPS ?

Posted on February 11, 2018 by Beauty Blog by Nakiba

Bonjour / Hello !!

Welcome back ! I hope you all are fine and in good spirit. I sure am, truly thankful for the good people who are around. A few people in particular, the man that picked the ackee and breadfruit and roasted it. My grandma who took the ackee’s out the pads and my sister for taking them all back for us so my family and I could have a lovely Jamaican brunch, cooked by my dad. I must say that after having not eaten ackee and breadfruit for the past two years and a half it was still delicious, oh how I miss HOME. Watching Magnum Kings and Queens of Dancehall, was the cherry on top ! ONE LOVE and big up uno self !!!

Alors, this week’s topic is all about how to apply lipstick to uneven lips…

Lips accentuate the beauty of a women. But, not all of us have a perfect pout. Some of us have uneven lips. Whether you are blessed with luscious lips or not, makeup has the ultimate power to re-define your lips and make them appear more beautiful and well-defined.

Uneven lips are when your lips do not match. Girls with uneven lips struggle to get the right lips color. But good news ladies, there is an art to achieve that quintessential pout. Is that what are you looking for ? Want to make your lips look balance ? Then, this article is just what you need !

1). THE OBJECTIVE

2). WHICH LIPSTICK SUITS ME ?

3).STEPS ON HOW TO APPLY LIPSTICK TO YOUR LIPS

4). TIPS

5).CONCLUSION

The objective here I to balance out the shape of the ensure your lips are of the same thickness and weight. It may seem strange, but you will have to draw your lip liner irregularly, to create a symmetrical shape. It is recommended to use a light tone on the thinner lip and a darker tone on the thicker one.

WHICH LIPSTICK SUITS ME ?

These lips can use matte and pearlised/glossy lipstick to give the appearance of fullness to the center of the lips. Basically, regulating the different shapes. It’s impossible to make a small mouth appear larger by painting the borders without it appearing too obvious. However, skillful use of color can improve the general appearance considerably. Lighter and darker tones, cream and matte textured lips glosses and outlining lips with pencils are all elements of technique available to make the artist produce attractive makeup application.

STEPS ON HOW TO APPLY LIPSTICK TO YOUR LIPS

STEP 1

BEGIN WITH CHOOSING YOUR LIP LINER AND LIPSTICK

Choose a lip liner a light and a little darker one, and a lipstick that match in color.

STEP 2

EXFOLIATION

Clean and exfoliate your lips with a dry, soft-bristled toothbrush or wet, warm washcloth. This will remove any dead and dry skin from your lips before you apply lipstick.

Close mouth, beginning at the “V” shape in your upper lips, continue the side that is not uneven, take a sharp lip liner pencil and use short strokes to follow the natural lip line to the corner of your month. Repeat on the other side of the upper lip (the uneven side) line just outside the natural lip line where it’s uneven and try to make this side as even possible as the other side. When you finish with the upper lip, start at the left corner of the bottom lip, just inside the natural lip line, and move outward to the middle of the lip and do the same for the right side.

Note: If it’s your bottom lip that is uneven follow the same instruction as above.

Fill in the rest of the lips with lip liner. This step is mandatory, but it will make your lipstick last longer.

STEP 5

This is a good trick even if you’re not overdrawing your lips. BUT, don’t do it when you are wearing ultra-glossy lipstick, highlighter or lips gloss. It’ll just make a gooey mess.

TIPS

People with uneven lips should use a pencil to outline their lip, making it both the side match up first and then follow the same for the lower lips.

Then, smudge the lip liner with a very light hand to eliminate any rough and harsh edges to achieve a natural finish.

Be careful with this trick ! The lip liner must be drawn with a very light hand and blended well otherwise it might turn out to be unflattering.

Don’t try to significantly re shape your lip line. Keep it natural by only slightly drawing outside or inside your natural lip line.

Always use a lip brush when applying lipstick to uneven lips, because precise application is vital.

Always ensure your lip liner pencil is sharp as you need a fine point to achieve precise lines.

If you struggle to apply makeup effectively to rebalance your lips, you can simply stick to using lip gloss products on bare lips as they don’t tend to exacerbate an uneven lip line.

Help balance your lips by applying a little foundation to bigger points prior to applying lip line. This can diminish the imbalance.

CONCLUSION

In this discussion, we have tried to describe how to apply lipstick to uneven lips, type of lipstick to use and tips for uneven lips beauties.

Best of luck!!

HOW TO APPLY LIPSTICK TO THIN OR NARROW LIPS ?

Posted on December 31, 2017January 13, 2018 by Beauty Blog by Nakiba

Bonjour / Hello !!

Welcome back ! Can you believe it’s New Years Eve ? Who’s excited ? The end of the year is upon us and, here at FLAWLESS BEAUTY BLOG BY NAKIBA we’re all about saying goodbye to one year and hello to the next !

Alors, this week’s topic is all about how to apply lipstick to thin or narrow lips…

Not all women were born with luscious lips. There is hope, however, for women with thinner lips who just want to make them look a little fuller, with the right lipstick colour and the right technique, your thin lips will look sexy and fuller in no time.

Prior to applying makeup to your lips, it is important to distinguish what form and shade suits you best. The first thing you must consider when choosing a colour is the tone you have selected for the eye makeup and the blush for the cheeks. Then you must differentiate between the three types of lipsticks. Matte, pearly and translucent. If you want to know, keep reading the article on how to apply lipstick to thin lips.

TIPS
CONCLUSION

WHICH COLOUR LIPSTICK SUITS ME ?

First, you should know that matte lipsticks are very thick tones. They are to make up fuller fleshy lips. Usually these are used in the night as they give an elegant and sophisticated effect. Lipstick in pearly colours are used to add volume to thin lips. They are for all ages and situations, bringing a touch of brightness. Finally, there are translucent lip products that give wet effect that add shine to lips whilst maintaining the natural tone.

For thin or narrow lips, it is vital you overdraw them. You must choose a warm tone that is quite vivid and noticeable. Although you must go over natural lip contour, make sure to do it to not change their natural shape too much – otherwise it will look very fake. Shimmery and frosty lip formulas work well on thinner and flatter lips as it adds a fuller and plumping effect. Ombre lip effect works very well too. If Ombre lips sounds too daunting, you can add the same colour all over your lips but add a shimmery highlight to the center of your lips for a plumping effect.

HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT LIPSTICK COLOUR FOR YOUR SKIN TONE

This is a tough one, I know. I mean there are tons of marvelous lip colours out there, and we want to grab them all, right ? But if you have thin lips you cannot go for a colour that’s dark and murky.

To make lips look plumper, you need to brighten them up and lighten them up !

COLOURS TO PICK: Peach, nude, pink, pale pink and light beige.

COLOURS TO DUCK: Shades of brown, oxblood, marron, plum, and red.

Starting with a light hand, it’s easier to build product than to take it off, build gradually the shadow because too much foundation and powder will make your jawline look dirty. Then blend, as it is the key to contour.

Always set with translucent powder to avoid transfer into clothing.

MATTIFY – Look for makeup primer or moisturizer that have mattifying property to keep shine off for longer hours.

POWDER – Powder helps to soak up excess sebum. Slap on more powder on the neck, but making sure the finish still looks natural.

CONTOURING – Tilt your chin up to the ceiling to see exactly where your jawline is. At a downward angle, sweep bronzer (one or two shades darker than your natural skin tone) across the jawline and on your cheeks. Contouring your cheeks will also help to give you all over definition.

How to highlight narrow jawlines?

Posted on September 24, 2017 by Beauty Blog by Nakiba

With days becoming shorter, the darkness descending hours earlier and the temperatures drooping, you might not be happy autumn has arrived but I am, it’s my favorite season.

Alors, this week’s topic is all about how to highlight narrow jawline…

Your jawline is the part of your lower jaw which forms the outline of the bottom of your face. Highlight is the real key player in widening a narrow jawline, apply highlighter on your jawline, this will draw attention this angle of the face. Some beauty rules are out dated, but when it’s comes to face shapes, I think a bit of beauty rule following is more than out. That’s because your face shape can components of your look. Even just the way you cut your hair can be complicated by the relative width or narrowness of your jaw, cheeks and forehead.

HOW TO TELL IF YOU HAVE NARROW JAWLINES

If you have oval, long, or heart shaped face you have narrow jawline.

Find out what is your face shape in the link below.

https://beautyblogbynakiba.wordpress.com/?s=face+shape

HIGHLIGHT

Highlighter attracts and mimics lights, offsets contouring by accentuating areas of the face with light concealer or highlighter giving the illusion of higher, brighter features. To properly highlight, use a concealer shade that is two shades lighter than your skin tone or a highlighter that flatters your complexion to emphasize the areas of your face that naturally catch the light.

WHERE YOU SHOULD HIGHLIGHT

Apply highlight product on your jawline.

TIPS

Starting with a light hand, it’s easier to build product than to take it off, build gradually the shadow because too much foundation and powder will make your neck look dirty. Then blend, as it is the key to contour.

Always set with translucent powder to avoid transfer into clothing.

MATTIFY – Look for makeup primer or moisturizer that have mattifying property to keep shine off for longer hours.

POWDER – Powder helps to soak up excess sebum. Slap on more powder on the neck, but making sure the finish still looks natural.

What are makeup remover?

Posted on August 28, 2017 by Beauty Blog by Nakiba

Bonjour Flawless Beauties, welcome back to FLAWLESS BEAUTY BLOG BY NAKIBA.

I know it’s been a while but I’m back now 😊 I’m super excited to share this article with you guys !

Let’s just get into to it right away, this week’s topic is what are MAKEUP REMOVERS.

Makeup removal is an important step in your beauty routine. Many people overlook the importance of makeup removal in their beauty regimen. Yet this key step leaves skin feeling so fresh and clean ! For many people, the holiday season means social gatherings that call for a more festive makeup look. And while you may focus on the application, removing any traces of mascara and red lipstick are just as important. If you don’t thoroughly remove your makeup before going to bed, it can irritate skin, clog pores, and cause acne.

They key to deciding which type of makeup remover to use is the focus on what’s most important to you. That includes choosing ingredients you’re comfortable with, as well as a formula that suits your skin type. Keep in mind that there is no right or wrong choice; it’s really a matter of preference.

Find out your skin type in the link below…

Home

There are two-steps approach to cleansing routine when you’ve got full face of makeup to remove. First, use products designed to dissolve the mascara and foundation you’ve applied. Then, wash your with your favorite cleanser. If you’re tired, it’s OK to squeeze the routine into one, if you do one or the other.

WHY REMOVE YOUR MAKEUP AND CLEANSE YOUR FACE ?

Makeup removal should be part of your daily skin care ritual because it is good for your skin. Here are the specific benefits:

It washes away cosmetics, impurities and dirt from the surface of your skin, which could lead to irritation or cause your skin to age more rapidly.
It reduces the risk of developing pimples, redness, blackheads and other types of blemishes.
It promotes cellular renewal by eliminating dead skin.
It stimulates skin’s microsimulation due to the massage action.
It lets your skin breathe.

By cleansing your face well, you’ll discover the joy of fresh, toned, supple and well-moisturize skin, even if you wear a little makeup or none. As you can see, there are plenty of good reason for you to add this step to your beauty routine !

WHEN SHOULD YOU REMOVE YOUR MAKEUP?

Ideally, you should remove your makeup before going to bed and refresh your face when you wake up in the morning, it gets rids of skin perspiration and sebum accumulated overnight. In the evening, it eliminates cosmetics and the day’s traces of pollution and impurities.

HOW TO USE MAKEUP REMOVER ?

Before you begin, you should know that regular soap and shower gel should never be used on the face. Such products are too strong and will destroy the skin’s protective hydrolipid barrier, causing excessive dryness.

First, wash your hands well, then pour a small quantity of makeup remover, micellar water or facial cleanser unto a cotton pad. While some products can be applied directly to wet skin, without requiring the use of a cotton pad. Sweep the cotton pad over your face; or lather the product with fingers (in the case of cleansers applied directly to skin). Avoid harsh rubbing. End by applying toner with a cotton pad to top off the cleansing, restore your skin’s pH balance and prepare it for moisturizer.

There are makeup removers to fit all needs and price ranges. You may have to try a few different types and compare them before you settle on a favorite, but at least one of these makeup removers or cleansers is bond to work for you.

TYPES OF MAKEUP REMOVER

EYE MAKEUP REMOVER

Waterproof mascara is a stubborn makeup designed to stay longer periods and cannot be easily be removed. As eyes are very delicate, you have to be careful how you remove your mascara. A damp cotton ball with baby shampoo and baby oil, coconut oil or olive oil can be used on the lashes and around the eye area.

FACE MAKEUP REMOVER

CREAMY CLEANSERS

If you’re looking for a makeup remover that really saturate your skin, give a cream cleanser a try. This type of makeup remover seeps into every nook and cranny and often leaves skin feeling more hydrated than other kinds of makeup removers.

MAKEUP WIPES

Cloths, wipes, and towelette-like makeup remover are designed to remove makeup without water. You can use them to remove a portion of your makeup or all of it.

OIL MAKEUP REMOVER

While oil may seem like a mess when applying it to your face, it is actually a very effective source of makeup remover. You will be reducing friction in your face, which means less redness, and it really removes your makeup thoroughly. The oil makeup removers are especially good when it comes to removing waterproof products. Just make sure to wash your face well after it. Coconut oil can be used as makeup remover.

FACIAL CLEANSER & MAKEUP REMOVER

If you’re not the one to use the cotton ball or pad technique, then you will love the facial cleanser and makeup remover all-in-one combo. You will need to wash your face extremely well.

LIPSTICK MAKEUP REMOVER

Lipstick smeared all over your face after a long night out is, well, annoying. That’s why most of us love long-wearing liquid lipstick. It’ll hold up through dinner, won’t transfer during a little make-out, and won’t budge outside your lip line. But the problem with a product that does what it says it does? Removing it without scraping of multiple layers of skin in the process. There’s where matte lipstick removers come in. They remove dry, sometimes flaking pigment easily and painlessly. The best kind will also repair and replenish your lips with moisture and essential vitamins.

If you can’t swing an expensive matte lip remover, you’re still in luck. Fortunately, there are some great home remedies for matte lipstick removal. Your tired and true beauty companions, like coconut and olive oil, can take off your makeup easily and safely.

TIPS

When it comes to removing eyeliner, I would recommend you use the wipes or oil for a better outcome.

If you have dry skin, don’t make matter worse by overdoing it. Simply use a gentle cleanser with natural pH. Be sure to apply moisturizer on a regular basis to help your epidermis remain supple.

When it comes to selecting an all-purpose makeup remover, look for one that’s alcohol free with low alcohol free with a low concentration acid concentration. Be wary of harsh makeup removers containing alcohol if you have sensitive skin, and cleansers containing alpha hydro acids might be too strong to use around the eye area.

The key to deciding which type of makeup remover to use is to focus on what’s most important to you. That includes choosing ingredients you’re comfortable with, as well, as a formula that suits skin type. Keep in mind that there is no right or wrong or right choice; it’s really a matter of preference. There are makeup removers to fit all needs and price ranges. You may have a to try a few different types and compare them before you settle on a favorite.

A slender or long neck is very elegant and is much envied. It usually goes with a slender figure overall. But, if this is something that’s particularly bothers you then you most certainly it’s something that you should address.

HOW TO TELL IF YOU HAVE LONG, THIN NECK.

STEP 3

To cover up your double chin, use a foundation that is one to two shades darker than the face foundation on your face. Apply this darker foundation on the double chin area and use a foundation that matches your skin tone on the face.

Be careful that it is not too dark or it will end up looking like you are growing a bread. Blend well so there are no demarcation lines.

Once you get all your contouring and highlighting you want to keep the cream products from sliding, you must seal/set it all with some loose powder or powder. Set the highlight area using a translucent powder or matte powder highlight shade. You may wish to use your powder to bake the highlighted area, but you don’t have to.

Then use a contour powder to set the contoured area. This will create more depth. Don’t go too heavy on the contour powder, otherwise you will end up looking a bit scary, and I mean that in good way ! You want to keep it soft and natural.

Brush powder bronzer subtly all along the jawline from ear to ear. Choose a gold-tone bronzer if you have medium to dark skin or a rose-tone bronzer if you have fair skin. Make sure it is blended well so that you do not see a line.

Remember to keep it on your jaw bone line only. Adding bronzer to your jawline bring your look together and make it more natural looking, you can also use the same bronzer on your cheekbones as blush.

Bear in mind that to disguise your double chin, you need to give the illusion of light and shadow. Blend your bronzer well; you are creating an illusion, so you do not want to see any visible lines. Use a thicker brush on your bronzer when you are done with your jawline to make it subtler.

TIPS

The contour shade you choose for your nose must be lighter than the one you use on cheeks and the rest of your face and it should be matte. Whether you’re using a cream or powder it always must be cool tone. Cool tones mimic the natural contours and shadows of the face.

If your skin tone is pale to medium, you’ll want to reach for matte, cool toned contour. Look for beige, taupe and greyish tones. If you have tan to deep skin, cool tones also work for you, but warmer shades can look great as well.

Starting with a light hand, it’s easier to build product than to take it off.

Remember to build gradually the shadow because too much foundation and powder will make your chin look dirty. Then blend, as it is the key to contour.

Always use a light touch with your bronzer and foundation, your goal is to keep it natural looking.

Wearing your hair in an updo can give the illusion of longer neck.

Create attention-getting eyes to draw attention away from your double chin.

Never wear high collars or turtle necks.

MATTIFY – Look for makeup primer or moisturizer that have mattifying property to keep shine off for longer hours.

POWDER – Powder helps to soak up excess sebum. Slap on more powder around the nose, but making sure the finish still looks natural.

Welcome back to FLAWLESS BEAUTY BLOG BY NAKIBA, I hope you all are fine. I’m great, I had a wonderful day 🙂

This week’s topic is all about how to contour and highlight asymmetrical nose.

Many people find the nose contouring complicating and can never get it to look quite right. It often ends up looking extremely unnatural and obvious.

If you’d like to try out a little corrective make up contouring, this post is for you. All you’ll need are three contouring shades-one two shades darker than your skin tone, one only, slightly darker than your skin tone, a highlighter color two shades lighter than your skin tone.

Contouring and highlighting is the art of applying skillfully to create the trompe l’oeil effect of altered bone structure. I am here to give you give you my best beauty tips and tricks on to contour and highlight to enhance your nose.

When it comes to contouring, it’s all about the balance of light and shade. Essentially you want to balance out the lines of your face, and in some cases, restructure them to emphasize the features you prefer! To restructure your nose is no different than any other contour creation.

For an asymmetrical nose, the goal is to create the illusion of the nose being symmetric, by doing this, the nose will appear more define.

STEP 3

To prepare your nose for contouring, apply your foundation as normal but do not powder. Whether it’s liquid (or cream) foundation, oil based foundation makeup, sheer foundation, waterproof foundation, mineral foundation, powder (or compact) foundation, stick foundation, mousse or whipped or matte, or “oil-free”, foundation.

Choose a foundation that identically matches your skin and is best for you skin type. All cream and liquid products should go on before you apply any powder products to your face.

https://beautyblogbynakiba.wordpress.com/2017/02/13/what-are-foundations/

STEP 4

Starting from your brow bone, draw a soft dotted line down both sides of your nose, using a lip liner or eyeliner pencil, then extending each line outward slightly at the bottom. Even if your bridge is crooked, the lines should be as symmetrical and straight as possible. This will make your nose appear straighter. Make sure the doted lines are thin.

STEP 5

Now join the dotted lines to create more define lines. Draw with very light hand (very pale) using the same product you will use to draw the dots, whether it was lip liner or eyebrow pencil.

Use an angle brush to smooth out the lines.

TOOLS FOR THE JOB

ANGLE BRUSH

STEP 6

Apply your contour colour, slightly darker than your skin tone directly onto the raised area.

Use an angle brush to draw the contour lines. They should begin at the brow and end to your preference.

TOOLS FOR THE JOB

ANGLE BRUSH

STEP 7

Start off by highlight

Using a cream matte highlighter or concealer which is a shade or too lighter than your skin tone, lightly draw a thin line starting from between the brow down the nose bridge of the nose, stop before the tip. Keep the line steady and symmetrical, but feel free to play with the width (depending on how narrow you want your nose to appear). Then place a circle right on the tip of your nose. Also, highlight both sides of your nose, including the nostrils. Blur the area where the nasolabial lines (commonly known as “smile lines or “laugh lines) connect to the nostrils by applying your highlighter shade in dots just besides the nostrils. Blend gently with your ring finger.

TOOLS FOR THE JOB

CONCEALER BRUSH

STEP 8

It’s time for contour

Now you have highlighted all the right areas, it is time to contour. Take your time with step if this is your first time contouring your nose. Use your contour product to retrace the line you have drawn. Next use your product to draw a downward facing triangular point underneath the tip of your nose. For the best results use a concealer brush or a small beauty blender to buff out your lines. Do not blend your contour lines into the highlight or it will look muddy. Blend carefully for a natural appearance.

If you would like your nostrils to appear narrower, you may also apply some contour to the very edges of your nostrils.

If you feel that your contour has dulled the highlighted areas, now is the time to go back in with your cream highlight shade.

TOOLS FOR THE JOB

SMALL BEAUTY BLENDER

SMALL CONCEALER BRUSH

STEP 9

Set with powder

STEP 10

Get your glow on !

Grab your favorite highlighter and let’s get to glowing. This step helps gives the nose that extra bit of dimension and can also give the illusion of it being slimmer.

Use your little finger or a domed setting brush to apply some highlight down the bright of your nose a tiny bit to the tip.

Being a dry skinned girl, the matte look tends to end up making my skin look dehydrated. The solution to this problem? A F*ck ton of highlighter! My skin looks so much healthier when I add some glow.

TIPS

Avoid placing cheek color close to the nose. The closer together you place your contour lines; the slimmer your nose will appear.

Starting with a light hand, it’s easier to build product than to take it off.

The contour shade you choose for your nose must be lighter than the one you use for your cheeks and the rest of your face. Whether you’re using cream or powder it always must be a cool tone. Cool tones mimic the natural contours and shadows of the face. ORANGE IS A NO!

Remember to build gradually the shadow because too much foundation and powder will make your nose look dirty. Then blend, as it is the key to contour.

Skip Moisturizer. Skip the nose when you’re applying moisturizer before makeup.

Mattify. Look for makeup primer or moisturizer that have mattifying property to keep shine off for longer hours.

Powder Powder. Powder helps to soak up excess sebum. Slap on more powder around the nose, but making sure the finish still looks natural.

Avoid too-dark lipstick, which can draw attention to the center of the face. Also, consider parting your hair to the side. If you have nose that goes cooked on the left side, create a part that fall to the right, for instance.
