WHAT IS MASCARA/DIFFERENT TYPES OF MASCARAS/HOW TO APPLY MASCARA/TO 10 DRUG STORE MASCARAS

Mascara is a cosmetic commonly used to enhance the eyelashes. It may darken, thicken, lengthen, and/or define the eyelashes. Normally in one of three forms—liquid, cake, or cream—the modern mascara product has various formulas; however, most contain the same basic components of pigments, oils, waxes, and preservatives.

The use of mascara may help to mimic neoteny, a youthful or childlike appearance which is believed to be correlated to beauty in women. In various cultures, the typical characteristics of children—soft cheeks, a round face, soft skin, large eyes, upturned nose, and a short chin—are often seen as ideal facial characteristics for women. Mascara pulls away the eyelash from the rim of the eye creating a doe-like illusion of larger, more open eyes. Wide eyes may be associated to youth.

Long, luscious, thick eyelashes are always in style. Most of us, however, were not fortunate enough to be born with such beautiful eyelashes. Thankfully, the cosmetic industry is here to help! Whatever your need, there are different mascara types out there for you.

WHAT IS OMBRE/WHAT IS OMBRE LIPS/HOW TO CREATE OMBRE LIPS

OMBRE: (literally "shaded" in French)

Is the gradual blending of one colour due to another, usually moving tints and shades from light to dark. It has become a popular feature for hair colouring, nail art and even for lips.

OMBRE LIPS are a style in which two or more shades are worn on the mouth. Typically, first colour goes around the edges of the mouth, another is put in the inner parts of the LIPS and blended outwards with a lip brush.

     Upon first glance, ombre lips are a little odd. After all, we're taught from a young age that lipstick is meant to be a singular solid colour across the span of your lips perhaps with a coordinating lip linear underneath, for colour endurance. But once you've seen a few expertly applied ombre lips, you'll be ready to give this funky trend a try in no time 

Much like ombre hairs, the transition between colours is smooth and seamless, making this a little bit tricky. If you are a beauty biggner, don't fret - just a little practice is all you need to get the hang of it.
   It can also produce an effect that's almost as cool as the colours themselves. How? If you opt to use a lighter shade towards the center of your lips , your pout winds up looking a little bit fuller. And if you stick with a dark shade on the outside , your lips will appear more defined. Plus , you get to use not just one, but or more of your most beloved lip colours.

WHAT IS CONCELAR/ HOW TO APPLY DIFFERENT TYPES OF CONCELAR/IMPORTANCE OF CONCELAR IN MAKEUP

Some times it seems like concelar is a both a blessing and a curse. When you know how to apply concelar correctly, it can be game changer; but one false move, and you walk out of the house looking raccoon.

THE IMPORTANCE AND IMPACT OF APPLYING CONCELAR:

Concelar is one of the most important makeup products to have in your makeup bag. It not only conceal blemishes - it was also designed to create a base for the eyeshadow. Eyeshadow is not designed to be applied directly onto skin - it simply will not blend or last. If you use a concelar and set it in place using a loose powder, you will achieve a much fresher more youthful apperance to your eye surface. Concelar knocks out the discoloration around eye area and the eyes look more awake and younger. If you are precise with your application and choose a high quality cream formula, you'll the amazing results. Makeup artists always apply concelar, as it is the key to achieving the professional finish.

From knowing whether concelar should be applied berfore or after foundation to learning the difference between green, pink and yellow concelar formulas

GREEN CONCELARS:

Green concelars neutralize red zones on your face, like blemishes and red spots. Use green concelar to better cover up acne, but don't use green on darker parts of your face, such as dark circles or spots.

YELLOW CONCELARS:

Yellow helps to even out skin tone overall, so use this on your face in the areas that need equalizing. Yellow is the safest concelar colour and works well for women who need basic concealing in general.

PINK CONCELARS:

Like green concelar, pink works to neutralize the dark blue or purplish areas on your face. If you've got serious under eye dark circles or dark spots, pink concelar will help to cover up those areas

FINISH WITH LOOSE POWDER:

Loose powder on top of concelar helps to set it in place and goes one step further to even out skin tone - especially your under eyes. Simple use a translucent powder with a large, fluffy brush to sweep powder over the concelar.

CHOOSE ONE SHADE LIGHTER THEN SKIN TONE:

When choosing a concelar, go about one shade lighter then your foundation. If you're applying concelar to dark or red areas, using one shade lighter than the rest of your makeup will help to even out those tones.  Be wary not to go to much lighter or(darker) with the product, though, it can be a dead giveaway that you're wearing too much makeup

WHAT IS STROBING/HOW TO DO STROBING:

STROBING: The act of using only a luminizer/illuminator to emphasize the high points of the face.

STROBING is highlighting the higher planes of your face for a dewy look. It is the new contouring and the idea is to have natural looking, dewy and glowy skin but if not done right it can go from dewy to looking sticky and sweaty in seconds. Strobing must be done on moisturize and hydrated skin so that the highlighter goes on flawlessly, therefore you must prep your skin before layering on product. Pick a highlighter that complements your skin tone to avoid looking ashy.
Only highlite spots that catch light i.e the high points of your face which are your cheek bones along with your temples, down the bridge of your nose, blow your brow bone, inner corners of your eyes, above your cupid's bow and center of your chin. This will enhance your natural features. Don't spread the product all over your face, or else you'd end up looking greasy.
If you have oily skin skip the areas like your forehead and chin which tend to shine already and as the day progress and choose a matte formula for your other makeup(foundation, blush, powder)
