I remembered when I started using make up, I don't have anyone I could ask or get opinion on what or what not to do. The most instant reaction was to apply make up with the sense of what I saw from girly shows / magazines that I happened to flip.
I hope with the upcoming posts, I could show you the small little tricks here and there I came across these years. It might not be a big impact to most of you, but these have become my habit.
So the first thing I would like to share is blusher! I remembered when I got my first few blush on, the way i applied it was to dap my brush to the blusher in circular motion for 2 to 3 times before applying them to my cheeks. Then I would go back to do this a couple of times as I find that the colours are not visible enough.
Not sure whether many will realise this, but I find that doing this is actually taking more time and the blusher is used up faster. The way i like to do it now is to squeeze the brush tips first before dapping it to the blush on, swipe it twice and you get the just about right tone on your cheeks. ^ ^
Squeeze the brush with your fingers before padding them to your blusher |
This way you can get more colour on your brush |
I hope this have been a fun post as much as I enjoyed sharing them.
