The Spare use of Make-up
Send to a friend:
Make-up should always be applied sparingling (not liberally). The only people that should use make-up close to heavily are those in front of a camera. Make-up (like anything else you put on your face) should not be harmful to your skin. The problem is that a majority of products out there indeed do more to hurt than help.
It’s the combination of dyes, oils and in some cases alcohol that can really do a number on you in the long run. So here are a couple of tips when wearing make-up:
1. Make sure the make-up has some sort of skin-aiding ingredient. If you are going to wear it, it might as well help your appearance and rejuevnate your skin. An example is LORAC cosmestic’s line of make-up. (No I am not shilling, I’ve actually tried it) below is their LORAC Croc Palette one of several exclusive items at Sephora.com
2. Wear make-up that matches your skin tone. Unless you are going for a certain “look”, make-up that matches your skin tone is always flattering. It should blend into your skin and not expose blemishes. One of the best ways to blend is to use the commonly accessible blending wedge for foundations, or blending brush.
3. USE SPARINGLY. The thinking here is along the lines of perfume. If you use it sparingly, the attention you get will be appreciative rather than offensive. Ever step on a vacant elevator that smells like the 1st floor of Macy’s? The prior occupant didn’t know when to quit when it came to the use of perfume. The same is true for make-up. If you cake it on, you risk looking like a clown. Keep it to a minimum and your skin will thank you for it.
