If you're like me curvy divas, you like to look nice when you're going anywhere. One of the things that I love to do to accentuate my looks is to wear makeup. I wear makeup almost everyday, especially when I'm going to work. I have to look my best. Believe me, there are times when I'm grateful to have a little powder and foundation to make my eyes look less puffy, less sunken because I can accentuate them to make me look even more beautiful than I already am, don't you?!
Not only can you dress to make yourself look less dated, the makeup you wear can make you look years younger, if you know the tricks to use! I read an article from Oprah.com by way of Shine.Yahoo.com/makeup, on some of the mistakes that women make with their makeup that makes them look even older than they are.
I mentioned foundation earlier. Well wearing too much foundation can make you look way older than you are! If you use it too heavily, and if you don't blend well, you will have that foundation "sitting on your face", which makes you look much older than you are! I've done that before, without realizing that I did it....until I saw a photo of myself...OMG! That's just not attractive!
Then next makeup faux pas is wearing too much under eye concealer. Wait, did they peek at some of my photos or what?! Again, something I've done before, innocently! While it's not the crime of the century, it is a way to make yourself look "older than you are"!
Wearing deep, dark lip colors. What? They don't like this? Well, I'm asking that question because for this Season, I'm in search of the deepest Plum and Red that will give me that Fall pizzazz to my makeup essentials! I don't even care if it's not a trend. But you do agree that for the Fall and Winter Seasons, lipstick colors tend to be a shade or two deeper or darker than they usually are for Spring and Summer.
Using face powder to complete your makeup look. Is this the Twilight zone...? I put a little powder on after my foundation. I use it sparingly, I find for me, it does complete my look, but it isn't the last thing I put on!
Wearing black eyeliner. Hmmmm, maybe I'm not the one to be writing an article about makeup....! I just bought a liquid eyeliner, my first one ever, in black, because I wanted to try the look and I wanted a bit more dramatic effect, for when I'm in the mood to wear it! Is that wrong? Absolutely not! I say just wear what you want to wear, but try to use it sparingly, and blend, blend, blend, very well!
Continuing with the list from Shine.Yahoo/Makeup, other tips mentioned were, Skipping blush, Wearing Liner and Mascara on lower lashes and applying your lipstick straight from the tube....they recommend using your finger tips! I'm happy to report that I do not wear mascara on my lower lashes...not all of the time, because it smudges and leaves my eyes racoon-y, but when I do, it's with a very "light" hand! Remember, just because they write about it, doesn't mean that it will work for you, so practice and wear whatever works for you!
