About Purchase makeup brushes from China

Today, I saw a sentence in the website of a USA company who supply makeup brushes; they declare that “we are a cruelty free makeup brush company.  No animals are harmed to produce our makeup brushes. We do not purchase makeup brushes from china or outside of the USA”. 

 

Many Chinese makeup brush manufacturers must be angry with such description. They make a special mention of China, and show their superiority by stating not purchase from any China makeup brush manufacturer.

 

It is rather ridiculous. Makeup brush is a manual work, made in China or USA can prove nothing on brush quality. Every know that many famous brands like MAC and BB, custom makeup brushes in their Chinese makeup brush factory, and most ladies are crazy for MAC and BB brushes. Chinese makeup brushes are good enough to meet all quality requirements.

 

As a makeup brush supplier, this company may really once purchased Chinese makeup brushes with bad quality, so they get hurt and never believe in any Chinese makeup brush suppliers or manufacturers. In fact, most makeup brush factory in China are very good, but this company give no chance to them for cooperation.

 

By the way, I believe the special mention of China instead of other country can also prove the power of Made-in-China.

Process of making High quality makeup brushes

As a Chinese makeup brush supplier, Toney makeup brushes Co,.Ltd, supply various makeup brushes (Blush brush, Powder Brush, Lip Brush, KABUKI Brush, Eyeshadow Brush, Sponge Applicator, Makeup Brush Set) .Each of our makeup brush is handmade, the process is that the hair is loosened, combed through, shaped, fitted tightly into the ferrule and then lastly the hair shape is improved until perfect. Each makeup brush is then paced through a quality check to ensure the highest quality. Our makeup brushes come in different shapes and sizes, each one perfect for varied applications anywhere on the face be it the eyes, lips, cheek or neck. This could be flat, round, pointed tip or oval shaped and either dense or light. With our makeup brushes, you will have perfect makeup and show your different sides to others.

Makeup brush set and their uses

People sometimes think that a full set of makeup brushes is not needed and that they can get by with 2 or 3 to do everything. That is not very hygienic and your brushes will not last as long, but most importantly you won’t get a polished look. For example, if you have one brush (or your finger) for applying 2 colors and eyeliner to your eye on will end up with the color not blended correctly and no clear distinction between colors; also if you use the brush to apply a dark eyeshadow then next time you want to use it to apply your base/light color it will still have remains of previous dark color which then causes a dirty look.
The same goes for your powder brush if you use it to apply your powder then your bronzer/blusher then next time you want to use it for powder it will still have remains of the bronzer/blusher.
As a Chinese makeup brush supplier who has been in this industry for more than 10 years, Toney supplies various makeup brush set per customer requirements.
And remember that buying makeup brush set will save some money comparing with buy individual brushes. Please contact us if you have any demand.

We have rich experience in makeup brush manufacturing, management, quality control, makeup brush supply and marketing. Please feel free to contact us for professional service from Chinese makeup brush supplier.

Makeup brush suppliers

It is known that China now is a world factory for almost goods; I can say that almost makeup brush factory and manufacturer are in China, even if the most famous makeup brush brands such as BB and MAC makeup brushes, their OEM factories are really in China and other countries where have low labor cost and material.

 

The makeup brush supplier is a different concept with makeup brush manufacturer. The suppliers refer to all companies and individuals who can sell makeup brushes, including manufactures, traders, beauty shops or individuals in makeup brush industry.

 

Most Chinese makeup brush suppliers are manufacturers; they usually sell their makeup brushes to international traders or companies or directly sell to the cosmetic companies or trading companies in China. These companies who buy brushes from Chinese factories then become the makeup brus suppliers, and sell their brushes to final customers.

 

Toney, a Chinese makeup brush manufacturer, also suppliers, always work hard to meet customer requirements

Makeup Brush Handles

The makeup brush handles are designed with specific types and techniques of painting in mind. The brush handle must be balanced properly to be comfortable to hold & manipulate and at the same time it must also be strong to withstand pressure. Many scholastic and mass-produced handles are made from hard woods for these reasons. Handle styles directly relate to the brushes particular tasks, such as sash, panel, etc. Handles today are made of strong structural material that resists water and solvents.

 

Traditionally, manufacturers have provided artists with two lengths and tapers of makeup brush handles. Short-handled brushes are the choice when makeup for ourselves; Long-handled brushes are usually used when makeup for others

 

Types of Handles

 

Artist-type handle are made of seasoned hardwood, lathe shaped and properly balanced to give the most comfortable grip. The pores of the wood are sealed and several coats of lacquer are applied to give the handle a polished high gloss finish.

 

Taped handles are made of seasoned hardwood dowels and tapered both ends; they are either finely sanded plain wood or finished with several coats of varnish or enamel. Some makeup brushes have molded, plastic handles instead of wood.

The technology of makeup brush manufacturing

Many famous brands sell their makeup brushes at very high price, while many Chinese makeup brushes are much cheaper. Some must think: the expensive makeup brushes must have advanced technology than the cheaper brushes.

 

Here I would like to clarify that makeup brush is a handmade product, except the material difference, there is no difference on technology. The manufacturing of bristle, ferrule or handle, no significant difference, almost the same.

 

The makeup brush price greatly depends on the bristle, if with high-grade bristle, the brush price will be high, and with low-grade bristle, the price will be lower. That is the only significant factor which can affect price. If with the same bristle, the price should not have big difference.

 

The truth is many famous brands have their Chinese OEM factories, manufacture makeup brushes in China at low cost, label their own brand and sell to customers with much higher price. Now more and more china makeup brush manufacturer realize that they should build their own brands, so they begin to enlarge production scale, improve quality and explore international market.

 

Toney makeup brushes Co.,Ltd is such a Chinese makeup brush supplier, we believe we will win more and more international business with our good quality, low price and great service.

Chinese Industry Standard of Makeup Brushes

The Flavor Fragrance Cosmetics TCS of China National Light Industry for has released the Industry Standard of makeup brushes, as the production guidance of Chinese makeup brush factories.

 

This standard is applicable for all kinds of makeup brushes, cosmetic brushes and sponge applicators made of natural hairs or synthetic fiber, includes blush brushes, powder brushes, Kabuki Brushes, eyeshadow brushes, eyeshadow applicators, lip brushes, eye brushes etc.

 

The standard stipulates the classification, requirements, testing, inspection, marking, packing, shipping and storage of makeup brushes.

 

According to the standard, makeup brush hairs should be even in color, be straight, with good elasticity, no instinct furcated hairs, and the buckle hairs should be no more than 5; the brushes handle should be smooth, no sharp edge, no burr. The standard also has specific requirements on the microbial indicator of bristles.

 

For the package of makeup brushes, according to the standard, it should have product name, manufacturer name, factory address, package size, quality standard, and instruction etc.

some tips on makeup brushes

Being interested in makeup brushes, recently I have visited many makeup brush factory in China who manufacture makeup brushes for famous brands. Here I would like to say something about the brush knowledge I learned.

 

Generally, the free brushes within the cosmetics boxes are very hard to use, we may feel bad when we use these brushes to apply makeup on our faces. In fact, the reason is simple, first is the brush cost, the main cost of makeup brushes is on bristles, good bristles are certainly very expensive; Second, bad bristles will apply more cosmetics, then the cosmetics will consume more quickly, so most cosmetic suppliers prefer bad bristles.

 

So we should buy makeup brushes separately, which can not only prevent our skin, but also save the cosmetics.

 

Many girls are crazy to Bobbi Brown makeup brushes in the belief that the most expensive brushes are certainly the best makeup brushes. In fact Bobbi Brown itself does not manufacture makeup brushes, most of their OEM factories are in China.

Basic information for eyeshadow brush

It is known for makeup artists that eyeshadow brushes is the most important makeup tool, because the eye makeup is the most important for face makeup, the eyeshadow makeup will directly affect the whole makeup. Some may think it is enough to have two eyeshadow brushes, eyeshadow brush for ligh makeup and sponge applicator for heavy makeup. In fact, to have perfect eye makeup, one should have several eyeshadow brushes. In daily makeup, one should at least have 3 eyeshadow brushes, one large size for Smudge, one middle size and one mini size.

 

For eyeshadow brushes, it is best to have animal hair, generally pony hair, goat hair and sable hair, among these, pony hair and goat hair is most common, sable hair is the best; it is soft and durable, but also most expensive.

Eyeshadow brush is very soft, bouncy, smooth and elaborate, which is suitable for eyeshadow makeup.

 

While buy eyeshadow brush, it is better to choose soft and bulky bristles, the brush head should cover 1/4 eyelid, and the handle length should be suitable for applying eyeshadow.

Someone may ask, if

 

Generally, there have been an eyeshadow brush and a sponge applicator within the eyeshadow box, these brush head is rather small, which can apply some corner position like eye corner, eye skin etc, also it is very convenient for touch up outside. So even if you have had professional eyeshadow brushes, it is better to keep the provided ones.

Toney offer various makeup brushes

Makeup brushes are a must in any woman makeup kits. They are an absolute necessary for the correct application of makeup. These brushes come in a variety of shapes, sizes and prices. Even if it sounds too much for a brush, it is better to invest in a set of really good brushes, so that there is little chance of incurring infection.

Keep in mind that you do not have to spend a ton of money on a makeup brush. Acrylic ones actually are easier to clean than the brushes made from the fancy fibres. But the pricey ones will last you forever.  When traveling, wrap makeup brushes in a soft cloth. The cloth will protect the bristles and collect makeup.

Makeup brushes, like artists’ brushes, have different shapes for different uses. Some are round and full, some pointed and thin. Sable is always a popular choice for makeup brushes, since it is soft and washable. However, good synthetic brushes are also available. A basic brush is the powder brush. This will usually be the largest, fullest brush in a set. It is designed to apply loose powder so it does not cake on the skin.

A foundation brush is also a large brush, but with flat bristles. This brush helps apply liquid or crème base evenly. This brush can also be moistened for a sheer finish. Others include those for blush, eye shadow, eyeliner and lipstick. A lipstick brush is tapered and thin for precise lipstick application, as is the eyeliner brush. The eye shadow brush is short and flat, so the shadow can be applied smoothly. Makeup artists also have a wide array of specialty makeup brushes, to create a particular effect. These makeup brushes may have fan bristles, very thick bristles or other specialty heads for cinematic or fashions shoot uses.

Makeup brushes may be available for purchase singly or in sets.  A set purchase may be somewhat cheaper than individual purchases, but it depends on the person’s preferences. They are all available at Toney Makeup Brushes Co ltd, a professional Chinese makeup brush manufacturer. Prices generally equal quality with makeup brushes, so a person who can afford to spend more money on them may want to do so

Eye Makeup Brushes

Several types of makeup brushes are designed specifically for use in the eye area. Though a small collection of basic brushes are typically sufficient for the average woman, a more diverse variety is available for those who love to spend time playing up their eyes.

The following is a basic overview of brush types and their functions.

Smudge Brush

Smudge brushes are typically flat and made of short hairs. They are easily recognizable because of this unique design. Occasionally they may appear to be rounded in shape, but their overall look is flat. These brushes are ideal for the following uses:

•Creating a rich, smoky eye

•Lining and contouring the eye softly

•Adding definition and depth to the eyelid

•Adding color and blending in the crease (a typical smudge brush designed for the crease may have a teardrop shape)

Angle Brush

Line your eyes with precision using an angle brush. These brushes feature slanted hairs, which make eyeliner application simple. Use the angle brush to define the lash line, the brows and the crease. These brushes work wonders for women who have trouble drawing a precise line that isnt obvious. The bristles of the brush are typically flat and slightly firm to the touch, ensuring that it will deposit color only in the spots where it is directed. The trimmed angle shape allows the brush to fit easily into hard-to-reach spots, like the corners of the eyelid and around the lashes.

EyeShadow Brush

At the very least, every woman should own a high-quality eye shadow brush. This is the most basic of eye makeup brushes, and it all but guarantees that eye makeup will be applied cleanly and neatly. These types of brushes pick up and deposit color with greater efficiency than typical sponge applicators. Available in a variety of sizes, eye shadow brushes may feature slightly angled or tapered hairs. They might also be constructed with short handles for convenience, or longer handles for ease of use.

An all over shadow brush is an ideal basic brush that will apply color evenly to the entire lid or layer colors for a more complex look.

Eyeliner Brush

A tapered, slim shape makes the eyeliner brush an ideal tool for anyone who regularly applies liner. Its shape ensures precise, clean application without the bumps and skids that sometimes occur with a pencil. These thin brushes are appropriate for liquid, gel and cream liners.

Many women prefer to wet their eye shadows and use these as liners instead. This practice offers greater versatility in color, but it also requires a great brush to get the job done properly. A flat eyeliner brush is perfect for this purpose. The brush holds an ample amount of color and deposits it with ease to the area just above (and below, if desired) the lash line. In order to achieve the most clean, natural-looking line, wiggle and dab the brush gently but firmly against the lash line.

Mascara Brush

Though all mascaras include a brush wand of their own, many women prefer to use a separate mascara brush in order to keep the mascara bacteria- and germ-free. Mascara brushes are reusable and should be washed after each application.

Low- or High-End?

Choosing the right brushes does not have to be a tricky process. Simply knowing your budget and having an idea of what you need will go a long way in helping you select the right tools. Generally, makeup brushes that fall into the extremely low-end price range will not last as long as one that runs just a bit more.

Most high-end makeup brands also manufacture their own brushes. If you are devoted to a specific line, research their selection of makeup tools to find the pieces that are best for you.

Where to Purchase

Eye makeup brushes are readily available at Toney Makeup Brushes Co., Ltd, we can offer various good eye makeup brushes at low price.

How to get beautiful eyebrows

Eyebrows are the one of the most important features on face if taken aesthetically. Eyebrows define the shape of eyes and enhance their beauty. Eyebrows also help eyes to converse more effectively as they change their shape according to the mood and the expressions. Taking care of eyebrows is an important part of the makeup routine. Some women tend to overlook the importance of eyebrows or some women go for over plucking of eyebrows. Both ways you are going to loose an important make up feature from your face. Eye makeup is vital part of face makeup and eyebrow make up is that vital part of eye makeup. You cannot ignore eyebrows if you really want to make an impression.

Combing Eyebrows For Natural Look: For giving natural look to eyebrows, you just use an eyebrow brush or a small comb. Comb eyebrows upwards and outwards. You can apply gel lightly to keep eyebrows at place.

Groom Eyebrows: You have many ways to fill sparse eyebrows. You can use eyebrow powder or eyebrow pencil to fill the tiny gaps between your brow hairs. There are many forms of eyebrow makeup to choose from.

Eyebrow makeup Products: Eyebrow Pencil: it is the most popular known product for eyebrow makeup. But it sometimes gives harsh strokes. You can smudge them using a cotton swab.

Eyebrow Powder: Eyebrow powder has high color pigments and matte finish. Instead of this, you can use matte eye shadow powder, which matches your skin tone. It gives the most natural look. Take a little bit of eyeshadow on an angled eyeshadow brush. Now apply it on the eyebrows in eyebrow direction and fill in the eyeshadow. If your brows are very thin, use an eyebrow pencil to give it a thick shape but it does not look natural. You can press small amount of powder on line drawn to soften it and then fill it with eyeshadow. Blot any extra eye shadow with tissue.

Eyebrow Gel: If you have bushy eyebrows with unruly hair, you can use eyebrow gel. It comes in clear or colored forms.

Eyebrow Coloring

- Choose eyebrow color, which matches the natural color of your eyebrows. Your aim is to enhance the beauty of your eyebrows, not overdoing it. To fill in with eyebrow pencil color, first comb eyebrows and then fill in it with pencil by making feather strokes. You should comb it again after using filling the color to blend it completely and to give a more natural look.
- Choose a shade of eyebrow color which two shades darker than your natural eyebrow color.
- Hard bristled angular eyebrow brush is the best for applying powdered brow color and using it in tiny hair like strokes. Powder should not run into the surrounding skin. Blend it thoroughly. While using brow pencil, it should be the sharp enough. Technique is the same for both that is comb, apply and then comb again. You can soften the strokes made by the eyebrow pencil, making soft strokes by a cotton bud.
- If your brows are too close to your eyes, you can bleach them for wider eye look.

Important Eyebrow Tips

- Avoid over plucking of your eyebrows, as it won’t do any good for you.
- Follow a natural shape pattern for your eyebrows according to the basic rules for getting right shape. Eyebrow shape should be in accordance with your facial feature. It should blend with other features; should not stand out.
- Make sure that there is right distance between both eyebrows.
- Never pluck hair from the top of the eyebrows; instead pluck eyebrows in between.
- For bushy eyebrows, first use small scissors to trim that unruly hair and then trim them.
- The clean, simple and elongated eyebrows are the most elegant one.
- To get rid of hair between the eyebrows, go for eyebrow waxing.
- Regularly tweeze your eyebrows to keep them in shape. The best time to tweeze eyebrows is just after bath when pores are open. Tweeze hair in the direction of growth and also pluck one hair at a time. Pluck any stray hair on the outer corners of the brow. The rule is to tweeze hair only below the eyebrows.
- Some people do not need any alteration at all; they just need little defining of eyebrows.

Waterproof Makeup

What is Waterproof Makeup?

Waterproof makeup, as the term signifies, will not removed by water. Waterproof makeup remains same all day.  Perspiration, weather and water do not affect it. It is designed in a way that it does not smear, run or come off with water. It is a smudge-proof and sweat-proof.  It is of great help and in great demand where weather is humid and where ordinary makeup tends to smudge off.

Who Uses Waterproof Makeup? Female athletes specially apply waterproof makeup because they have too much perspiration. Swimmers and swimming coaches also wear waterproof makeup to avoid smudging of when they come in contact of water. Actresses also wear waterproof makeup, as they have to shoot in various conditions like in rainy weather, at beaches, crying scenes. When women travel, they prefer to carry waterproof makeup as they have to apply it once and they can carry the same look entire day without touching makeup again. It saves lot of time and energy.

What makes this makeup Waterproof? High quality cosmetics contain a silicon-based oil known as dimethicone. Skin remains soft with application of this oil and another benefit of this oil is that it helps in smooth application of makeup. Dimethicone copolyol is the waterproof version of the same silicon-based oil. It helps the makeup to stick to hair and skin.

How to Remove Waterproof Makeup? Waterproof makeup cannot be just removed using water. Waterproof makeup has to be removed with the help of a special remover. Though waterproof makeup gives fresh and clean appearance all the time but due to its removal method, it has some side effects too. Removers are some kind of solvents, which dissolve the makeup content. In the event of removing makeup, these removers also remove the protective sebum layer on the skin. Sebum is protective oily substance on the skin, produced by the sebaceous glands. It protects the skin from effects of pollutants, chemicals and other irritants. Long-term use of remover for waterproof makeup makes the skin dry, wrinkled and leads to premature aging. So avoid using waterproof makeup excessively; save it for special events like anniversaries, weddings, birthday parties, prom night etc. Take special care of skin to avoid drying up.

Two types of Waterproof Makeup: But with all the considerations waterproof makeup is great for busy and active women. There is two type makeup: waterproof makeup and water-resistant makeup. First kind of makeup is used by professionals need to touch with water. But this kind of makeup is harsh on skin due to its formulation. It is not meant for daily use even if you dive or swim.
Other kind of makeup is water-resistant makeup, which has softer effect on the skin. This is not exactly waterproof makeup; it protects the makeup against the atmospheric humidity. For instance, lipstick marked “ water-proof” may refer to sun protection and nutrients in it. This type of makeup is more useful for ordinary people.

Different Waterproof Makeup Components:There is whole range of waterproof makeup from waterproof mascara to eyeliner, blush, foundation, lipsticks etc.  Waterproof eye makeup is really great for stunning long lasting look. Waterproof mascara, waterproof eyeliner do not run from your eyes even if you cry hard, in heavy rains, beach or a long swim. These waterproof eye products save you from raccoon look if your eyes come into water contact or if you rub your eyes unknowingly. It is especially helpful for the people who wear contact lenses because ordinary eye makeup tends to flake and fall into eyes. It can ruin delicate lenses. These people should wear eye makeup specially designed for them.

Waterproof eyeshadow really looks glamorous on a hot and humid day. You do not have to reply it, if you are going on party in night. Waterproof eyeshadow cream and powder eyeliner make a good combination. This kind of makeup saves you your eyes from rain, summer heat and humidity.
But there is word of caution too, do not wear waterproof eye makeup, if you have eyelid dermatitis. In this condition there appear rashes and puffiness on eyelids if a compound come in contact of eyes. Waterproof makeup aggravates this condition. Waterproof makeup remover is specially an irritant for eyelids.
Smudge proof lipstick and eyeliners are perfect for long day. Waterproof lip makeup includes lip colors, tubes of lipsticks and lip paints. Apply first waterproof foundation and then waterproof lipstick for perfect glow, which lasts till night.

Makeup Brushes: A Must For Perfect Makeup

There are different kinds of makeup brushes to apply different kinds of makeup components. Right kind of makeup brush can enable you to apply right makeup. Makeup brushes vary according to different purpose, design, material, quality and style. To choose right makeup brush, you should have some guidelines. Another important thing about makeup brushes is that they need to be cleaned regularly.

 

How to Choose Makeup Brush

 

Type of hair on Makeup Brushes

 

Makeup brushes are made up of natural fibers and synthetic fibers. Brushes prepared from natural fibers have hairs of squirrel and goat. These are high quality makeup brushes with rubber or wooden handles. These are used for fine quality, small brushes with silky texture. Natural bristled makeup brushes are right for applying powder blush, face powder, lipstick and eyeshadow. For applying oil based makeup, cream eyeshadow, concealers. Brushes should be rounded with silk texture.

 

Different Kinds of Makeup Brushes

 

Powder Brushes

For applying powder and blush, brush should have round edges and flat. You can use these makeup brushes to press on areas where shine is required. Avoid using large and thick brushes as you cannot use them at places where you want to apply powder. When you are selecting makeup brush, make sure that it has right angle and right pressure handle, which are very important for right application of makeup. 

 

Eyeshadow brushes

After the powder brushes come the eyeshadow brushes. Eyeshadow application needs precision and skill. Without correct eyeshadow brush, you won’t be able to give desired look. You will need two types eyeshadow brushes for eyeshadow, one for smoky eyes effect and other for applying multitude eye shadows. For smoky eyes, you will need a small, angles brush for concentrated eyeshadow application around rim of the eyes. Other brush will smoothly apply eyeshadow all over the eyelid.

 

Eyebrow Brush

It should be made up of nylon firm bristles. Firm bristles of this brush help combing eyebrows effectively and separating the hair to give right eyebrow shape. Short eyebrow hair can be groomed very precisely. Another thing about this brush is that it should be angled enough to apply small amount of eyeshadow on the brow hair.

 

Eyeliner Brush

 

For applying cream or powder eyeliner, you will need fine tipped round brush.

 

Lip Brush

Lip brush should be small, narrow and flat. It should have straight end and fine bristles. Synthetic lip brush are better than the natural brush as they give better control and pressure to apply lipstick effectively. These kinds of lip brushes add extra shining touch to the lipstick and also provide smooth finish to the dark colored lipstick.

 

Highlighter Brush

Highlighter brushes are used to apply highlighter under the eyes and it should be slightly bigger than the eyeshadow brush. Choose for the dense and rounded tip brushes for this purpose.

 

Concealer Brushes

For applying concealer, brush should be flat headed. There should be firm tip of the concealer brush to let them reach the hard darker spots of the skin. Concealer is used with cream. Keep one thing in mind; do not take excessive concealer cream. Concealer brushes are sometimes made up of sponge tip instead of hair.

 

Maintenance and Cleaning of makeup brushes

 

As brushes carry oil, makeup and dirt on them. It will lead to buildup of bacteria on brushes. Cleaning of brushes is very important as dirty brushes can transfer bacteria to your skin. After use, wash the brushes in running warm water. Apply a mild shampoo over the bristles; it will clean away the grease on the brush hairs. Do not rub the shaft of brushes; do it gently. Put the wet brushes on soft towel and let them be air-dried. Do not use heat or warm air to dry the brushes; it will damage its bristles. For lipstick brushes, use an oil removing solution. Use different brushes for light and dark makeup. Change brushes at least once a year. Throw away worn out brushes. Avoid sharing of make up brushes as it may cause infections.

So one has to be really careful while choosing and applying makeup, as it should be done correctly knowing your age, your skin type, weather and the occasion. As the makeup which is good in daytime for a particular skin type might not look good in the evening on the same person.

Here are a few tips and tricks to apply makeup properly and enhance your looks as its just playing correctly with colors on your face:

·  Remember you skin tone and skin type when buying makes up for yourself. First thing is choosing right shade of foundation for your skin as that is the base of the makeup. Buy it a shade lighter than your skin. It should be water based or power based if your skin is oily as oil or cream based foundation will make your skin look patchy. Then come applying it properly. Put small dots of foundation on all over your face and neck and then spread it with the help of your fingertips. If you dont have a good hand then you can use a small sponge to make the foundation even on the face.

·  Then comes the eye makeup. Pink is the color, which usually looks good on most of the skin tones but not all age groups. One should not buy vibrant color if the skin is dark though should buy subtle color that are darker than the skin tone. On fair complexion pastel shades and shades of red look good while on darker complexion shades of brown look good. Always coordinate eye makeup with blush and lip color.

·  Use eyeliner or eye pencil to define eyes after applying eyeshades. Then coat them with mascara. For deep-set small eyes light eyeshades are better and they can be used even on the lower eye to enhance the eyes.

·  Blusher should be applied with a broad brush on the apple cheeks. If applied wrong it spoils the entire makeup.

·  Put a little foundation or talcum powder on your lips and then apply lip color. If the lips are thin then define them with a darker shade of lip liner and then fill the lipstick and if the lisp are already thick then never apply lip liner on your lips as it gives them a fuller appearance and thick lips will look more thicker with that.

·  Apply gloss if its winters as in sweaty summer it might not look good. Though prefer matte shades in summers to give a clean look to your face.

·  If the nose is broad you can give it people an illusion by putting a darker shade of foundation on the both sides of your nose and if its a little more Sharpe and looks parrot type, you can put dark foundation on the prime bone of the nose to make it look a little flat.

·  Finish the makeup with a good compact powder, a shade lighter than your skin tone. Never use loose power on oily skin, as it will not give it an even look.

·  As here is a mantra to makeup stay for longer and is extremely useful for oily skin especially in summers. Before starting your make either wash your face with chilled water from your refrigerator or rub ice cubes on face for few minutes.

·  If you want it much better then make ice cubes from rose water or watermelon or cucumber juice. And you can make out the difference in your skin.

· To hide acne, pimples marks or blemishes use good conceler.

·  To get a softer look apply brown eyeliner and mascara on skin but in the daytime.

·   In winters you can apply a little touch of gloss on your eyelids and shimmer under your eyebrows.

·   Define eyebrows with a good eyebrow brush or with pencil if the eyebrows are light.

·   Always keep your upper lips thread or waxed and your eyebrows in shape otherwise they will spoil your looks even after doing good makeup.
