3 Makeup Essentials that Most Women Miss

Carol Tuttle

Most women are confident in wearing some makeup.  I find most women know how to wear foundation, blush and some eye makeup with the most common eye makeup choice being mascara.  With very little added effort you can take your makeup experience to whole new level with these 3 essential steps that most women miss.  You will be amazed what these 3 steps do to add to your overall facial features and beauty.

1. Filling and framing your eyebrows with a matching eyebrow powder. This frames your face and accentuates your eyes.  I can’t imagine going without my eyebrow powder!  Use eyebrow powder applied with an angled brow brush rather than a pencil to create a natural look that fills in your existing brow.

2.  Lip liner, lipstick, and Lip gloss is the essential trio for great, long-lasting color that creates a full bodied lip.  Lip liners that are pencil based can often dry up, to moisten the tip, just blast a shot of your blow dryers hottest setting on the tip and your pencil is ready to line your lips.  Next fill in with your lipstick that can be the same or coordinating color.  Apply your colored or clear lip gloss and blend your lips together to make it all work.  The liner frames your lip to create fullness, the lipstick fills in the color, and the gloss sets both the liner and the lipstick to create an all day look.

3.  Cover-up and camouflage before applying foundation.  Your foundation will look more natural and even when you take a moment to hide any blemishes, dark circles, and redness in your skin.  Apply your cover-up lightly on any problem spots and blend it in before applying foundation.  This gives an over-all healthy glow to your face and hides any problem spots that your foundation may not cover by itself.

Adding these 3 essential steps to your daily makeup routine takes very little time for a very huge return on your appearance.  Your beauty is an essential part of your confidence as a woman.  Invest in your true beauty and continue to express your feminine nature that is a gift to yourself and the world.

You work in a salon and you don't wear make-up?! What part of beauty don't you undrstand. That's what we sell is beauty, unless you're one off those rare people who have that natural beauty. You'll be able to sell more if you wear it (but do over do it).

I Hear that most makeups are toxic. Also, after wearing makeup for long periods of time like years, months, or weeks those chemicals get into our bodies which is not good. Is there a natural or organic makeup? I'm aware of Physician's Formula but is there any other makeup that is safe to wear? Thank you for your time. I look forward to your reply.
