Beauty products abound to increase your allure and thanks to our advanced modern society we have a wide selection of amazing products to choose from. Cosmetics are amongst the most widely used items to enhance our personal appearance. The beginner may feel somewhat overwhelmed by the sheer variety on offer, but as with all things, cosmetics are a matter of personal preference.

Before a single granule of this seasons fashion color dusts your eyelids, you need to prepare the foundation, just as any good artist might prepare his canvas. Your first step is to thoroughly cleanse your skin with a good quality cleanser that is not only gentle but is suited to your skin type. This is an important first step.

Use a quality toning lotion to remove excess cleanser and as an aid to tightening the pores. This will assist your skin in keeping the cores unclogged of grime and prepare the skin for the application of your moisturizer. This is another important step in your routine and you should ensure that you use a moisturizer designed to suit your skin type. Be sure to apply it generously to the throat and decolletage as well.

At this point you should apply a blemish stick to disguise any blemishes or skin discoloration that you may have. Use a good quality concealing stick to disguise dark circles under your eyes. You are now ready to apply your foundation. Select a shade that is as close as possible to your own, keeping in mind that foundation should look as natural as possible as it is a base layer used to minimize the appearance of minor blemishes.

Be careful about blending the foundation into your hairline and along the jaw line. Be sure that you do not have a clearly defined line of color that stops suddenly on the jaw as this looks unnatural. Apply a small amount of foundation to the lids and beneath the eyes for an even appearance. Next apply your powder in light even sweeps to the entire face. Ensure that you choose a natural, neutral tone to compliment your foundation.

The selection of color depends upon the overall look you are trying to achieve. The color of your eyes will be the deciding factor in which colors you choose. A good rule of thumb is to steer clear of colors that match your eyes as they will only detract from and muddy the color of your eyes.

Warm tones should be used with light eyes, particularly green, blue or grey eyes. Cooler tones are better suited to brown or darker eyes. Use an eyeliner that is several shades darker than your eyeshadow to define the shape of both upper and lower lids, applying in a neat line along the inner edge just beneath the lashes.

Apply a darker eyeshadow to the crease and eyelid, blending with a lighter shade on the brow bone. You can also apply color along the edge of the lower lid. Carefully apply a good quality mascara to both upper and lower lashes in a darker shade. Proceed to apply your blusher to the hollow of the cheeks, below the cheekbone and as a final touch, add your preferred lipstick or fruit gloss. Your look is now complete, but do be sure to touch up during the day or night, ensuring that you are the beauty of the ball!
