Halloween Makeup Basics Suggession and Tips

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><strong>Special Effects Makeup for This Halloween</strong></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.halloweenexpress.com/templateimages/makeup-basics/scary.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://www.halloweenexpress.com/templateimages/makeup-basics/scary.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.halloweenexpress.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><strong><span style="font-size: xx-small;"> Image by halloweenexpress.com</span></strong></span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">When it comes to transforming yourself from your everyday normal self 
into a completely different character for Halloween or another dress up 
event, nothing can help you accomplish this faster than special effects 
costume makeup.   There are literally hundreds of different makeup 
products that will help you to create the specific character look that 
you desire, and you don’t have to be a professional makeup artist in 
order to use them and get great results.  Here we will cover some of the
 most popular and essential special effects makeup tools that you may 
want to try.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><strong>Blood</strong>:</span></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i.ytimg.com/vi/hCNBKt25z0E/hqdefault.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://i.ytimg.com/vi/hCNBKt25z0E/hqdefault.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Using stage blood
 is almost mandatory for some of the more monstrous and gory looks that 
Halloween is most known for.  Having a great stage blood product to use 
is going to give your look an extra creepy and bleeding appearance that 
is almost too realistic!  Liquid stage bloods are designed to stay moist
 so they will retain a “dripping” look.  Coagulated blood gels are a 
little thicker and are designed not to drip. These coagulated gels are 
perfect to apply on open wounds you have created with prosthetics or 
latex.  A coagulated blood gel looks more like a wound that has begun to
 scab over.  All stage blood products may potentially stain, so you must
 be extremely careful when you use them.  Pretesting a little bit on 
your skin is always a good idea.  Most stage bloods wash off easily, 
with just a little bit of soap and water.</span></span><br /><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span><strong>Crepe Hair:</strong><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.halloweenexpress.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/crepe-wool-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://www.halloweenexpress.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/crepe-wool-2.jpg" width="319" /></a></div>
Crepe hair is available in a wide range of
 colors in curly or straighter lengths.  Most crepe hair comes braided, 
but once the hair is unraveled it can be cut and applied as desired to 
the face with spirit gum, creating amazingly realistic beards, mustaches
 and sideburns. Crepe hair can be cut into any length you desire, can be
 ironed to straighten some of the curl and can also be painted with 
liquid makeup if desired.<br /><br /><strong>Spirit Gum:</strong><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://images.asadart.com/sources/com/halloweenexpress/images/products/dd441add.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://images.asadart.com/sources/com/halloweenexpress/images/products/dd441add.jpg" width="216" /></a></div>
Spirit gum is a resin product that is 
used as an adhesive in makeup applications.  Spirit gum is used to apply
 crepe hair, prosthetics and appliances, bald caps, etc.  Using Spirit 
Gum Remover and then following this step up by washing the area 
thoroughly with soap and water can remove Spirit gum completely. <br />
    <br /><strong>Extra Flesh:</strong><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://images.asadart.com/sources/com/halloweenexpress/images/imagecache/542-768-cswo167.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://images.asadart.com/sources/com/halloweenexpress/images/imagecache/542-768-cswo167.jpg" width="225" /></a></div>
Extra flesh is a waxy compound that
 is mixed with fibers that will help you to create the creepy look of 
scars, cuts or decomposing flesh.  Extra flesh is also an easy way to 
make moles and warts.  Extra flesh is very easy to use--just create the 
desired shape, apply to the skin and blend in the edges.  No adhesive is
 necessary. This product works extremely well when used in conjunction 
with stage blood. <br />
    <br /><strong>Modeling Putty or Wax</strong>:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://m2.behance.net/rendition/pm/7159583/disp/2f568bf0ac5d6b52e40801c3b0f5304d.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://m2.behance.net/rendition/pm/7159583/disp/2f568bf0ac5d6b52e40801c3b0f5304d.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
Modeling wax has a number
 of wonderful uses in special effects makeup application.  This handy 
wax can be used to smooth out the edges of applied prosthetic pieces so 
that they blend more naturally into the skin.  Modeling wax is also good
 for building up specific facial features, such as noses or cheeks; it 
can also be used to block out and cover up eyebrows.  <br />
    <br /><strong>  Liquid Latex:</strong><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.halloweenexpress.com/blog/images/fake-blood.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://www.halloweenexpress.com/blog/images/fake-blood.jpg" width="213" /></a></div>
Liquid latex has a plethora of 
uses when it comes to creating special effects makeup looks. Liquid 
latex can be used to create a variety of skin textures.  Liquid latex is
 also a useful tool to have on hand when applying prosthetics and 
appliances to the skin.  It can also help to blend in the edges of the 
prosthetics seamlessly.  Liquid latex is available in several colors. <br />
    <br /><strong>Setting Powder</strong>:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://images.asadart.com/sources/com/halloweenexpress/images/products/csez149fix.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://images.asadart.com/sources/com/halloweenexpress/images/products/csez149fix.jpg" width="239" /></a></div>
Setting powder is one of the 
most important elements to your makeup application process even though 
it is the one that is likely the least visible!  Setting powder will 
ensure that your makeup is set.  It will absorb extra moisture so that 
your look remains matte.  Setting powder is best applied liberally by 
pressing it gently into the skin with a powder puff; any excess powder 
can be removed easily with a fluffy brush.  For even better makeup 
endurance, you can mist the face with a barrier spray; this will make 
the makeup last even longer. <br />
    <br /><strong>Halloween Makeup Kits:</strong><br />
Specific Halloween makeup kits contain all the makeup colors
 you will need in order to create various costume character looks.  
These kits are a convenient and easy way to assemble the colors that you
 need while ensuring that you will have everything you need to create 
the look you desire.  These kits are great for beginners as they come 
with complete instructions for use and a great photo of a finished look 
to give you something to look at for inspiration.  Some of the available
 character makeup kits you may want to try:  Witch, vampire, monster, 
clown, pirate or werewolf.<span style="font-size: x-large;"><strong><span style="font-size: xx-small;"></span></strong></span><br />

1. <b>Make white eyeliners as base to make eye shadow pop.</b></h1>
A white base will bring out the colour of your eye shadow. The color 
will be intensified and will look great. Plus it will bring out the real
 colour of the eye shadow which is impossible if you put straight to 
no-base lids.<br />

2. Use a spoon to perfect your winged eyeliner.</h1>
Many of us dream of that perfect winged liner, but it’s a feat that 
takes lots of effort and frustration to achieve. Smudge and unstable 
application is your best enemy when it comes to the use of liquid 
eyeliners. So instead, use the stem of the spoon to create a straight 
line starting at the outer corner of your eye. Then flip the spoon and 
use the curved part to create the curved wing effect. Fill in the rest 
and it’s done!<br />
<br />

<br />
<h1>
3. Hashtag for smokey lids.</h1>
Hashtag isn’t just for your twitter post nor your instagram’s 
anymore. This one’s for a fast fix. Draw a hashtag, slanted, in the 
corners of your eye. Smudge and blend with your finger, or brush or a 
smudger and you’re done.<br />
<br />

<br />
<h1>
4. Use a spoon for smudge-free mascara application.</h1>
Hold a spoon and let the curve hug your eyelid. Apply the mascara 
sweeping up. The smudge will go right to the spoon and not on your lids.
 Repeat the process in your lower lids. An alternative to the spoon is 
an index card, or credit cards that cut in eyelash-shaped indentation.<br />

<br />
<h1>
5. Heat up your eyelash curler with your hair drier for curlier eyelash.</h1>
A heated eyelash curler will make the lash curl stay longer. The 
whole curling process is easier too. Just make sure it’s not too hot to 
handle or you may get burned. Clamp on lashes and you’re good to go.<br />
<br />

<h1>
6. Plump your lashes with baby powder.</h1>
First, apply the first coat of mascara. Then dust lashes with the 
baby powder, let it dry and stick a bit. Then add another coat. Repeat 
the process until you reach your desired effect. The powder grips the 
mascara in between the coats. The result will be fuller lashes.<br />

7. Get a perfect lip’s cupid bow by drawing X on your upper lip.</h1>
Take a lip liner same shade as your lipstick and create an “x”. Apply lipstick and that’s it.<br />

8. Follow this contour map.</h1>
The advised contoured areas include the cheekbones, temples, along 
the hairline, nose sides, nose tip and the crease of the eye – using 
contouring make up or a darker foundation. At the top of the cheekbones,
 at the center of forehead, nose bridge, chin center and cupids bow, a 
highlighter or a lighter than your skin tone shade foundation is to be 
used.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Lesson No. 1:</b></span><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Spend some bucks on your tools</b></div>
<br />
At Napoleon Perdis' Makeup Academy in Hollywood, Rebecca Prior, NP's  
 National Educator, begins the first lesson by introducing us to our   
tools. "To me, tools and products are equally as important as the makeup
   skills that you have," she says. For example, let's say you were 
using   mediocre brushes, mediocre products, and had average skill. Just
 by   improving the quality of your brushes and using richer pigmented  
 products, the application would immediately be better, even without   
improving your technique. So if you really want to apply your makeup   
like a pro, Los Angeles-based educator Felicia Alva says, "Do what the  
 professionals do: Use the proper brushes for application."<br />
<br />
<b>Here are the eight basic brushes you need:</b><br />
1. Foundation brush<br />
2. Concealer brush <br />
3. Fluffy powder brush<br />
4. Blush brush <br />
5. Small blending brush <br />
6. Flat eyeshadow brush <br />
7. Precision angle brush <br />
8. Lip brush<br />
<br />
Once   you have your tools, you need to know how to hold them. Make 
Up For   Ever educator Lijha Stewart says, "Where you hold a brush on 
the handle   affects your control. The closer your fingers are to the 
barrel (the   silver section beneath the brush head), the more pressure 
you put on the   brush head and vice versa." In general, if you want to 
apply color   evenly, place your fingers on the center of the brush 
handle. Another   tip: You can easily turn a fluffy brush into a flat, 
angled brush by   wrapping your hand around the bristles and flattening 
them.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Lesson No. 2:</b></span><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Mix primer <i>with</i> your foundation</b></div>
<br />
I'm sitting in Make-up Designory's Beauty 101 classroom and I'm   
anticipating today's lesson to be quite the bore-fest. I'm barely paying
   attention as lead instructor Gil Romero goes through the three   
different types of foundation: liquid, powder, and cream. Yawn. Wake me 
  up when I'm going to learn something new.<br />
<br />
It seems like Romero   read my mind, because he immediately hit me 
with this tip: "You can wear   cream foundation as is for opaque, full 
coverage, or you can break it   down to be more translucent by mixing it
 with some primer," he says.   What? Isn't primer only supposed to go on
 <i>before</i> foundation? But   Romero says this is a surefire way to
 retain the foundation's coverage   without looking caked on. Plus, you 
get to reap the long-lasting   durability that cream foundation has over
 liquids and powders. Prior   says this also helps the makeup blend 
seamlessly with the first layer of   primer on your skin.<br />
I raise my hand at this point and ask if   cream foundation is OK for
 oily skin. This is a selfish question,   because I struggle with a 
mid-day oily T-zone. Make-up Designory   educator Yvonne Hawker (who 
also wrote the school's textbook) says   everyone can use cream 
foundation, but those with oily skin should use a   damp sponge to apply
 it. Most foundations have oil in its formula to   give the coverage 
blend-ability. Using the sponge will "pick up the   pigment, but not the
 oil in the foundation." You'll still get great   coverage, but not the 
shine.<br />
<br />
For dry or combination skin types,   "use your foundation brush and 
buff the foundation onto the skin,   concentrating on the center of your
 face, which is typically where your   skin has the most discoloration,"
 says Hawker. "The further you get from   the center, the less coverage 
you want."<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Lesson No. 3:</b></span><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Love your flaws </b>—<b> then conceal them</b></div>
<br />
It's   day 3 at makeup school and there's a color wheel on the 
whiteboard.   "The key to being a successful makeup artist is being able
 to identify   someone's undertones and know how to manipulate the color
 wheel to get   rid of unwanted color," says instructor Gina Sandler.<br />
And when   Sandler says "unwanted color," I immediately tune in 
because I want to   learn how to cover up my zits, the stubborn redness 
around my nose, and   the bluish hues under my eyes. She says opposite 
colors cancel each   other out, so green-pigmented concealer covers 
redness, and orangey   concealer removes blue. "If you use your beige 
concealer, it'll only   make those areas look muddy," says Prior.<br />
Once Sandler shows us   how she gets rid of zits, redness around the 
nose, and under-eye bags on   one of the students, she then pairs us off
 and has us practice on each   other's makeup-free faces. Immediately, 
all of my insecurities start   bubbling up. My bags, my zits, my dark 
spots … is someone seriously   going to be inches away from them? Then 
one of the students says, "Ugh,   I'm so ugly." Sandler responds, "No, 
you're so cute! You all are!" It's   makeup school, but it starts to 
feel more like we're in a group therapy   session. Sandler says 
practicing on each other is key because you   quickly learn how to deal 
with all types of skin tones and facial   features, which you will have 
to become comfortable with if you want to   be a professional.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Fix your face shape</b></div>
<br />
So here's a not-so-secret confession: I hate my face. It's rounder 
than   a Cabbage Patch Kid's and I can't stand my button nose. So when 
Prior   says today's lesson is learning how to contour properly so you 
can alter   your face shape and features, I'm so eager to learn I 
actually   volunteer to be her model at the front of the class. 
"Contouring is the   art of highlighting and shading," says Prior. 
"Anything that is lighter   than the skin tone will make an area more 
prominent, anything darker   will make that area recede." Here's how you
 can easily alter your face:<br />
If   you have a round face and want to make it look more oval: Apply a
   bronzer a shade or two darker than your skin tone in a "3" shape   
alongside your face: on your temples, the hollow of your cheeks, and   
your chin.  If you have a prominent forehead: Shade around the outer   
edge of your forehead along your hairline to minimize the area with   
bronzer.  If you have a flat or wide nose: Shade alongside your bridge  
 starting from your inner brows. Then highlight right on the center of  
 your nose.<br />
If gravity is taking a toll and your cheeks are   sagging: Apply a 
highlighter just above your cheekbone all the way to   your temple. Use a
 blush directly on the cheekbone, then use a bronzer   in the hollow of 
the cheek, underneath your bone.<br />
And if you   really want to make your contouring stand out, use a 
sparkly   highlighter, which will reflect the most light. Then for your 
bronzer,   go for a matte finish, which will absorb light and create a 
stark   contrast.<br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Lesson No. 5:</b></span><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Make your eyes pop by changing their shape</b></div>
<br />
Just like how I learned to use highlights and shadows to contour my   
face, I found out that I can use the same info to alter my eye shape,   
too. Whether you have drooping lids, narrow-set eyes, or they're simply 
  too small, you can use your knowledge of light and shadow to change   
them.<br />
If you want to add definition: Sweep a light bronzer through   the 
crease of the eye, which is halfway between the lashline and the   
eyebrow. "As you age, the eye area loses elasticity, and things aren't  
 as shapely as they used to be," says Prior. "This technique is great 
for   mature skin, to give the face more definition." A tip for you 
blue-eyed   girls: An orange-y bronzer in your crease will make your 
eyes even   bluer.<br />
<br />
If you have narrow-set eyes: To elongate your eye width,   apply a 
black liner to the outer half of both your upper and lower   lashlines, 
connecting at the outer corner.<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
If you have drooping,   heavy lids: Use what you just learned about 
highlights and shadows to   lift your eye. Apply highlighter above your 
crease, from the inner to   outer lid. Then blend a shadow to the area 
that you want to push back,   which would be the heavy fold. Make sure 
to blend the edges from the   shadow to the highlight.</div>

<br />
<br />
If you have small eyes: Apply a   beige-colored eyeliner to your 
lower inner rim, which will help make   eyes look more open. Then use a 
black pencil liner along your entire   upper and lower lashlines, 
connecting the lines at the outer corner. The   key is to blend the 
liner with shadow, going outwards. Wherever you   place the darkness is 
where your eye will go, so by smudging the lines,   it gives the 
allusion that your eyes are taking up more real estate on   your face.<br />
And the tip I love most for natural definition: Apply a black pencil to your <i>upper</i>
 inner rim. "It lengthens the eye and it also sharpens the appearance of
   the eye, giving more fullness to the natural lashline without seeing 
  the hard edge of a liner," says Prior.<br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Lesson No. 6:</b></span><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Think opposites when it comes to color</b></div>
<br />
Remember how I learned that opposite colors on top of each other 
cancel   each other out? OK, well today I learned if you place them side
 by   side, they help each other stand out. Simple, but super important 
when   you're trying to pick the most flattering eyeshadow colors. 
Here's a   cheat sheet:<br />
For blue eyes: Since orange is the opposite color of   blue, anything
 with orange in it will make blue eyes stand out more. "It   doesn't 
have to be a blazing sun color — it just has to have orangey   
undertones like gold, apricot, or peach," says Prior.<br />
For green   eyes: Red is the opposite color of green, which isn't to 
say you should   apply a cherry red-colored eyeshadow to your lids. But 
you'll help your   green eyes pop if you use colors that have red 
undertones, like deep   plums and wine.<br />
For brown eyes: Brown is a neutral color, so any   color will work 
well, says Prior. "But the most standout colors are blue   and purple."</div>

says. After all, that's what bronzers are for. Instead, "it's supposed 
to create a perfect, smooth complexion and cover-up any imperfections. 
This is why you should always use a foundation which blends in with your
 skin." Patel recommends testing on your jawline (not your hand!) before
 buying, and when possible, ask for a sample first. That way you can try
 it at home -- and look at your skin in various lighting situations -- 
to make sure the shade you choose looks natural. </span></span></span></span></div>

<b>We confess:</b> "Being naturally light-skinned, I'm always trying to 
look more tanned," says assistant editor Jane. "So sometimes I pick a 
foundation that's a bit darker than my skin tone, which (of course) 
leads to my face and neck being two totally different colors. I think 
it's time to embrace my natural coloring. Who wants to look like Snooki 
anyway, right?"</span></span></span></span></div>

skin as "horrific," and we have to agree. Foundation will only emphasize
 the flakes by sitting on top of them instead of blending in with your 
skin. Fix the dryness by exfoliating regularly (to get rid of flakes) 
and following that up with a rich moisturizer. Smoother skin means a 
much smoother application and finished look.  
<br /><br />
<b>We confess:</b> "I'm in my 30s, and I don't exfoliate as much as I 
should," says executive editor Meghan. "While most experts recommend I 
do it at least once a week, preferably twice, I'm probably more in the 
exfoliate-twice-a-month category. As a result, I've fallen prey to 
putting makeup on too-dry skin -- and I end up looking less than cute. 
Note to self: Take an extra couple minutes to exfoliate twice a week 
before bed. It takes more time to fix makeup that looks awful after it's
 been put on parched, flaky skin." </span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

supermodels. If you aren't one of the aforementioned people, don't wear 
it. Enough said." Harsh, but truer words have never been spoken. 
<br /><br />
<b>We confess:</b> "In middle school, I had a friend who was born with 
dark brown/black hair and light blue eyes that I was super jealous of," 
says intern Stephanie. "She wore electric blue eyeliner and managed to 
make it look so edgy that I wanted to give blue a try too. I tried a 
bright blue shadow instead, but as a girl with black hair and brown 
eyes, the color is all kinds of wrong on me. Luckily, my mom was quick 
to point out that I looked like a clown before I headed off to school 
that day, and I haven't touched a pale blue palette since."  </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

natural lip line to make your lips look bigger. But it's way easier said
 than done. One wrong move and you'll end up looking like Pamela 
Anderson circa 1993. If you are going to attempt it, Patel says to use a
 lip liner the same shade as your lipstick on the outer line of your 
lips, without passing over it. Fill in your lips as well -- that way if 
your lipstick fades, you don't wind up with only a line around your 
mouth. 
<br /><br />
<b>We confess:</b> "The makeup artist for my wedding drew lip liner 
outside my lips -- I guess it was to make my lips look fuller, but all I
 kept thinking was 'porn star,'" says editor in chief Beth. "Not exactly
 what I was going for. When she packed up and left for the day, I dialed
 it way back with a Q-Tip and vowed never again." </span></span> </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

entire look," Patel says. So head to a professional to get an ideal 
shape. While you do want to tame overgrown brows, Patel stresses that 
you don't want to tweeze too much. "As we get older, our brows naturally
 become sparser, so if you tweeze your brows too thin they might never 
fully grow back," she says. So just stick with cleaning up the area 
around your brows and follow their natural arch for your best shape.

<b>We confess:</b> "I've totally over-tweezed my eyebrows," says

hairs from the end, and then think it looks uneven. Before I know it, 
half my eyebrow is missing. On both sides. This is why I get them 
threaded -- professionally."</span></span> </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

together doesn't mean you have to paint them all onto your eyelids at 
once," Patel says. Instead, she recommends wearing no more than three 
shades at a time: a medium one on your lids, a lighter one near your 
brow bone and a dark one as liner. But for everyday, you really only 
need a sweep of one shade across your lid. 
<br /><br />
<b>We confess:</b> "Yes, I had delusions of grandeur and thought I could
 get all fancy on my eyelids," says senior editor Sarah. "I had a 
different shade of liner on my top and bottom lash lines, a brow 
highlighting shade, crease shade and at least two shades on my lids. Had
 this been done by an actual makeup artist I'm sure it could have been 
quite beautiful -- but since I'm so not one -- it looked like a hot 
mess. The only saving grace: I had enough time before going out to wash 
it off and start over."  </span></span> </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

nose, but if nature didn't deliver, makeup isn't going to help. Patel 
says contouring is best left to professionals, and only for photography 
or film. "No matter how skilled you are with the makeup brush, it's 
nearly impossible to use dark colors that aren't glaringly obvious when 
viewed in person, especially in broad daylight," Patel says. "Focus 
instead on pretty, soft makeup that plays up your best features." 
<br /><br />
<b>We confess:</b> "OK, so I have a round face and therefore use 
whatever means necessary, i.e. makeup, to help slim it," says associate 
editor Anna. "It's safe to say I have gotten a little heavy-handed with 
the bronzer under my cheekbones on more than one occasion." </span></span> </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

Patel says. Nevertheless, many women still go this route to fill in 
brows. A better option: "Choose an eyeshadow color that matches your 
hair color and apply with a thin, stiff, angled brush using tiny 
strokes," Patel says. 
<br /><br />
<b>We confess:</b> "I used to use pencil to fill in my brows and I 
recently switched to a waxy powder," says Meghan. "I can't tell you the 
difference it makes! With the pencil, you could totally tell that I did 
some filling in work. This waxy powder is so much easier to use, easier 
to fix if I mess up, and looks way more natural."  </span></span> </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

"Light colors advance and bring forward." That's why she recommends 
skipping black eyeliner (especially underneath eyes) during the day, so 
your eyes look more open and awake.  
<br /><br />
<b>We confess:</b> "Yikes, I do this almost every day," says Sarah. "I do like how the liner defines my eyes. I think I look tired without <i>some</i>
 liner on. But I will admit that black can be a bit harsh for daytime, 
so maybe a switch to brown liner is in order. Same effect without the 
goth undertones."  </span></span> </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

the fact that it shouldn't be worn by anyone over the age of 14 
(fabulous club kids get an exception here), is that it travels on your 
face, leaving strange sparkly spots where they shouldn't be," Patel 
says. Instead of chunky glitter, she recommends shadows with finely 
milled shimmer -- used sparingly, of course.  
<br /><br />
<b>We confess:</b> "I got super into glitter in junior high when I discovered Tony & Tina, this <i>fabulous</i>
 line that specialized in glitter-packed makeup," says assistant editor 
Sharon. "While their products were amazing (sadly discontinued), I 
unfortunately used glitter on more than one area at a time. So ... 
glittery eyeshadow, glittery eyeliner, sparkly blush, and 
glitter-infused lip gloss. Yowza. In hindsight I probably looked like I 
got into a fight with a tub of glitter -- and lost." </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

years, most notably foundations, powders, and highlighting products," 
Patel says. "One or two such products can make a woman look fresh and 
glowing. Too many can make her look very, very strange." Think glowing 
head on a matte body, or like you spent your morning leaning over an oil
 vat -- not exactly sexy. Patel suggests limiting your illuminating 
products to these areas: cheekbones, inner eye corners, and (if used 
sparingly) under the eye. 
<br /><br />
<b>We confess:</b> "I had this great Stila luminizing powder -- I wore 
it everywhere, every day," says Beth. "It was part of my uniform. Then I
 caught my reflection in really strong daylight one time, and I realized
 how it was highlighting every bump, scar, and wrinkle on my face. From 
then on, it was a nighttime thing only -- and even then, only when I was
 going to a darkly lit place."</span></span> </span></span> </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="font-weight: normal;">Today I’m going to teach you how to make your own homemade pore strips.</span></b></span></div>
<br />
Why?  Because:<br />
<ol>
<li>I’m obsessed with beauty products</li>
<li>I’m obsessed with cheap</li>
<li>Homemade {mostly} = cheap.  <em>Mostly</em>.</li>
<li>Cheap Beauty = HAPPY Allison</li>
</ol>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://goo.gl/VqRoYT" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://goo.gl/VqRoYT" /></a></div>
<h1 class="h2 entry-title" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><strong> Pore Strips Ingredients:</strong></span></h1>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>1 Tablespoon unflavored gelatin<img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?t=petielef0c-20&l=ur2&o=1" style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;" width="1" /></li>
<li>1 1/2- 2 Tablespoons Milk {any kind}</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Dudes, 2 ingredients and your pores will look like magic.  <em>What’s not to love?</em></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://goo.gl/DdRcPL" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://goo.gl/DdRcPL" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<ol style="text-align: left;">
<li><em> </em>Measure 1 Tablespoon of unflavored gelatin into a disposable 
container {if you put say, green jell-o on your face, there might be 
trouble}</li>
<li>Add 1-2 Tablespoons of milk into the gelatin</li>
<li>Until it looks like this</li>
<li>Mix
 it up, and be quick about it, until you get a chunky consistency.  Add 
more milk if you’re uncomfortable with the amount of chunk.</li>
</ol>
Microwave the gelatin for about 10-15 seconds.  It will get creamier in the microwave.  Stir that around and start applying it <em>IMMEDIATELY</em> to your face.  This stuff hardens up fast so you’ve got to act fast.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://goo.gl/3Vy2iA" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="http://goo.gl/3Vy2iA" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
This is pre-pore strip.  Wash your face before you apply.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://goo.gl/gzbgJ3" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="216" src="http://goo.gl/gzbgJ3" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I chose to put the stuff all over my face because I have thirty-year-old
 acne.  You can put it wherever your little heart desires.  You need to 
act fast though, because this stuff turns to gelatin <em>pront</em>o.  I know I’ve said that three times already, but I really mean it.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://goo.gl/kucRVf" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://goo.gl/kucRVf" width="278" /></a></div>
<br />
Smokin’. <br />
<br />
Let it dry for about 15+ minutes.  I waited longer, but <em>you’ll know it’s time when you can’t talk for fear of breaking something</em>.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://goo.gl/l17qEI" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="247" src="http://goo.gl/l17qEI" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
 Grab whatever you can and start peeling.  This is the gross/fun part.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://goo.gl/l6zyYm" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="http://goo.gl/l6zyYm" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
It’s a good thing you can’t see the photo all that well.  Do this 
until you’re all peeled and your face will feel like a baby’s bottom.<br />
<br />
<em>Clean, practically hairless, with clean, dirt-free pores.</em><br />

You   could say that I have a love/hate relationship with makeup. 
Some days I   enjoy playing with all the different colors and get 
excited when my   smoky eye turns out perfectly.<br />
<br />
But then there are those days when   my liner refuses to go on 
straight, my bronzer makes me look like an   Asian Snookie, or my lashes
 refuse to curl. That's when I want to toss   my makeup bag out my 
bathroom window.<br />
<br />
I had one of those days last week, and after walking into work wearing two <i>very</i> different winged tips on my eyes, my editor assigned me a new story: Go to makeup school and write about it.<br />
<br />
Want   to see the best techniques I picked up without spending the 
thousands   of dollars (and crazy amount of time) it takes to go to 
makeup school   yourself?<br />

<b>Lesson No. 1: Spend some bucks on your tools</b><br />
<br />
At Napoleon Perdis' Makeup Academy in Hollywood, Rebecca Prior, NP's  
 National Educator, begins the first lesson by introducing us to our   
tools. "To me, tools and products are equally as important as the makeup
   skills that you have," she says. For example, let's say you were 
using   mediocre brushes, mediocre products, and had average skill. Just
 by   improving the quality of your brushes and using richer pigmented  
 products, the application would immediately be better, even without   
improving your technique. So if you really want to apply your makeup   
like a pro, Los Angeles-based educator Felicia Alva says, "Do what the  
 professionals do: Use the proper brushes for application."<br />
<br />
Here are the eight basic brushes you need:<br />
<br />
1. Foundation brush<br />
2. Concealer brush <br />
3. Fluffy powder brush<br />
4. Blush brush <br />
5. Small blending brush <br />
6. Flat eyeshadow brush <br />
7. Precision angle brush <br />
8. Lip brush<br />
<br />
Once   you have your tools, you need to know how to hold them. Make 
Up For   Ever educator Lijha Stewart says, "Where you hold a brush on 
the handle   affects your control. The closer your fingers are to the 
barrel (the   silver section beneath the brush head), the more pressure 
you put on the   brush head and vice versa." In general, if you want to 
apply color   evenly, place your fingers on the center of the brush 
handle. Another   tip: You can easily turn a fluffy brush into a flat, 
angled brush by   wrapping your hand around the bristles and flattening 
them.<br />

<b>Lesson No. 2: Mix primer <i>with</i> your foundation</b><br />
I'm sitting in Make-up Designory's Beauty 101 classroom and I'm   
anticipating today's lesson to be quite the bore-fest. I'm barely paying
   attention as lead instructor Gil Romero goes through the three   
different types of foundation: liquid, powder, and cream. Yawn. Wake me 
  up when I'm going to learn something new.<br />
<br />
It seems like Romero   read my mind, because he immediately hit me 
with this tip: "You can wear   cream foundation as is for opaque, full 
coverage, or you can break it   down to be more translucent by mixing it
 with some primer," he says.   What? Isn't primer only supposed to go on
 <i>before</i> foundation? But   Romero says this is a surefire way to
 retain the foundation's coverage   without looking caked on. Plus, you 
get to reap the long-lasting   durability that cream foundation has over
 liquids and powders. Prior   says this also helps the makeup blend 
seamlessly with the first layer of   primer on your skin.<br />
<br />
I raise my hand at this point and ask if   cream foundation is OK for
 oily skin. This is a selfish question,   because I struggle with a 
mid-day oily T-zone. Make-up Designory   educator Yvonne Hawker (who 
also wrote the school's textbook) says   everyone can use cream 
foundation, but those with oily skin should use a   damp sponge to apply
 it. Most foundations have oil in its formula to   give the coverage 
blend-ability. Using the sponge will "pick up the   pigment, but not the
 oil in the foundation." You'll still get great   coverage, but not the 
shine.<br />
<br />
For dry or combination skin types,   "use your foundation brush and 
buff the foundation onto the skin,   concentrating on the center of your
 face, which is typically where your   skin has the most discoloration,"
 says Hawker. "The further you get from   the center, the less coverage 
you want."<br />

<b>Lesson No. 3: Love your flaws </b>—<b> then conceal them</b><br />
<br />
<br />
It's   day 3 at makeup school and there's a color wheel on the 
whiteboard.   "The key to being a successful makeup artist is being able
 to identify   someone's undertones and know how to manipulate the color
 wheel to get   rid of unwanted color," says instructor Gina Sandler.<br />
<br />
And when   Sandler says "unwanted color," I immediately tune in 
because I want to   learn how to cover up my zits, the stubborn redness 
around my nose, and   the bluish hues under my eyes. She says opposite 
colors cancel each   other out, so green-pigmented concealer covers 
redness, and orangey   concealer removes blue. "If you use your beige 
concealer, it'll only   make those areas look muddy," says Prior.<br />
<br />
Once Sandler shows us   how she gets rid of zits, redness around the 
nose, and under-eye bags on   one of the students, she then pairs us off
 and has us practice on each   other's makeup-free faces. Immediately, 
all of my insecurities start   bubbling up. My bags, my zits, my dark 
spots … is someone seriously   going to be inches away from them? Then 
one of the students says, "Ugh,   I'm so ugly." Sandler responds, "No, 
you're so cute! You all are!" It's   makeup school, but it starts to 
feel more like we're in a group therapy   session. Sandler says 
practicing on each other is key because you   quickly learn how to deal 
with all types of skin tones and facial   features, which you will have 
to become comfortable with if you want to   be a professional.<br />

<b>Lesson No. 4: Fix your face shape</b><br />
<br />
So here's a not-so-secret confession: I hate my face. It's rounder 
than   a Cabbage Patch Kid's and I can't stand my button nose. So when 
Prior   says today's lesson is learning how to contour properly so you 
can alter   your face shape and features, I'm so eager to learn I 
actually   volunteer to be her model at the front of the class. 
"Contouring is the   art of highlighting and shading," says Prior. 
"Anything that is lighter   than the skin tone will make an area more 
prominent, anything darker   will make that area recede." Here's how you
 can easily alter your face:<br />
<br />
If   you have a round face and want to make it look more oval: Apply a
   bronzer a shade or two darker than your skin tone in a "3" shape   
alongside your face: on your temples, the hollow of your cheeks, and   
your chin.  If you have a prominent forehead: Shade around the outer   
edge of your forehead along your hairline to minimize the area with   
bronzer.  If you have a flat or wide nose: Shade alongside your bridge  
 starting from your inner brows. Then highlight right on the center of  
 your nose.<br />
<br />
If gravity is taking a toll and your cheeks are   sagging: Apply a 
highlighter just above your cheekbone all the way to   your temple. Use a
 blush directly on the cheekbone, then use a bronzer   in the hollow of 
the cheek, underneath your bone.<br />
<br />
And if you   really want to make your contouring stand out, use a 
sparkly   highlighter, which will reflect the most light. Then for your 
bronzer,   go for a matte finish, which will absorb light and create a 
stark   contrast.<br />
<br /><br />
<b>Lesson No. 5: Make your eyes pop by changing their shape</b><br />
<br />
Just like how I learned to use highlights and shadows to contour my   
face, I found out that I can use the same info to alter my eye shape,   
too. Whether you have drooping lids, narrow-set eyes, or they're simply 
  too small, you can use your knowledge of light and shadow to change   
them.<br />
<br />
If you want to add definition: Sweep a light bronzer through   the 
crease of the eye, which is halfway between the lashline and the   
eyebrow. "As you age, the eye area loses elasticity, and things aren't  
 as shapely as they used to be," says Prior. "This technique is great 
for   mature skin, to give the face more definition." A tip for you 
blue-eyed   girls: An orange-y bronzer in your crease will make your 
eyes even   bluer.<br />
<br />
If you have narrow-set eyes: To elongate your eye width,   apply a 
black liner to the outer half of both your upper and lower   lashlines, 
connecting at the outer corner.<br />
<br />
If you have drooping,   heavy lids: Use what you just learned about 
highlights and shadows to   lift your eye. Apply highlighter above your 
crease, from the inner to   outer lid. Then blend a shadow to the area 
that you want to push back,   which would be the heavy fold. Make sure 
to blend the edges from the   shadow to the highlight.<br />
<br />
If you have small eyes: Apply a   beige-colored eyeliner to your 
lower inner rim, which will help make   eyes look more open. Then use a 
black pencil liner along your entire   upper and lower lashlines, 
connecting the lines at the outer corner. The   key is to blend the 
liner with shadow, going outwards. Wherever you   place the darkness is 
where your eye will go, so by smudging the lines,   it gives the 
allusion that your eyes are taking up more real estate on   your face.<br />
<br />
And the tip I love most for natural definition: Apply a black pencil to your <i>upper</i>
 inner rim. "It lengthens the eye and it also sharpens the appearance of
   the eye, giving more fullness to the natural lashline without seeing 
  the hard edge of a liner," says Prior.<br />
<br />

<b>Lesson No. 6: Think opposites when it comes to color</b><br />
<br />
Remember how I learned that opposite colors on top of each other 
cancel   each other out? OK, well today I learned if you place them side
 by   side, they help each other stand out. Simple, but super important 
when   you're trying to pick the most flattering eyeshadow colors. 
Here's a   cheat sheet:<br />
<br />
For blue eyes: Since orange is the opposite color of   blue, anything
 with orange in it will make blue eyes stand out more. "It   doesn't 
have to be a blazing sun color — it just has to have orangey   
undertones like gold, apricot, or peach," says Prior.<br />
<br />
For green   eyes: Red is the opposite color of green, which isn't to 
say you should   apply a cherry red-colored eyeshadow to your lids. But 
you'll help your   green eyes pop if you use colors that have red 
undertones, like deep   plums and wine.<br />
<br />
For brown eyes: Brown is a neutral color, so any   color will work 
well, says Prior. "But the most standout colors are blue   and purple."</div>
