Styling, Fashion Tips for Girls – Foundations for a Smooth Skin in 2011
Cosmetic foundations are powder, cream or liquid foundations. Foundations create a semblance of an ostensibly perfect skin with a smooth clear skin tone. It is called a foundation because it is exactly what it is, the foundation or base of the rest of a person’s makeup. Foundations come in several varieties of colors and shades and are intended to provide a medium or light covering for the skin. This cosmetic product can also be oil-based or water based and comes with different consistencies.
Loose Powder Foundations
Powder foundations are used as both a foundation and powder in one. Before applying a powder foundation, apply a moisturizer first or apply a concealer to hide some skin flaws such as an acne scar or any facial skin blemish that you want to hide. After the concealer, apply the powder foundation by spreading the foundation all over the face, excluding the lips but including the eyelids, by using a fat soft facial brush. A powder foundation will create a matte finish on the skin that makes the skin look fresh, finer and the pores smaller.
Pressed Powder Foundations
Pressed powder foundation also provides a smooth matte texture to the skin and helps check shine. It is applied with either a dry or a damp sponge. Cosmetic pressed powder foundations is suitable for all skin type, available in more colors and shades than cosmetic loose powder foundation, is quite handy and not messy, and convenient for freshening the makeup.
When picking out a shade, go for one that is as close to your skin color as possible and apply lightly since pressed powder foundation is inclined to build up on the skin during touch ups.
Cream Foundations
Cream foundations provide a translucent, matte or satin finish to the skin. It can be evenly distributed or applied lightly but more heavily for darker areas or in areas that need to be concealed. The advantage of cream foundation over a powder foundation is that with only a tiny dab of cream the whole face can be covered. It’s effect also last longer than that of powder foundation. Cream foundation is the choice of those with dry or combination skin since most cream foundations are formulated with moisturizers and are also best worn in cold weather.
Liquid Foundation
Liquid foundation provides a natural look and is popularly use for daily wear by most women. It is best for all skin types, easy to spread over and not noticeable. Oil-based liquid foundation is ideal for women with dry to normal skin while a water-based liquid foundation is the preference of women with oily skin.
The Best Foundation for Your Sensible Skin
The Best Foundation for Your Sensible Skin
There are many forms of foundation that can provide the best coverage for your skin. Choosing the best type would most probably be the best investment you will ever have.
Ultra Matte Foundation
Ultra matte foundation will be the best bet for women with very oily skin. This foundation is easy to blend and works well on humid days. But because of its versatility, many are heavy on the face. This could also dry fast so blending blush and eye make-up must be fast with the right technique.
Liquid-to-powder foundation
This is perhaps the easiest foundation to apply. It gives a smooth finish as well to women with normal to combination skin. The coverage ranges from sheer to medium coverage. Dry skin is not recommended to use this.
Sheer Foundation and Tinted Moisturizers
Sheer foundation is best used for as weekend makeup where sheer coverage is only utilized. Because of its sheerness, the right colour may not be easily determined but this is not a problem as well. To those who prefer a bit thicker kind of foundation, they may find it a too sheer. It offers little coverage so discolorations and dark capillaries are more prominent than other kinds of foundation.
There are foundations which makes your face shine. This type may have to be avoided by people with oily skin. People with dry skin can benefit from this for it makes their skin glowing, just be careful on the amount being applied for too much can accentuate wrinkles.
There are foundations now that can control oil production as well as provide moisture. On the other hand, there a woman can always have their foundation custom-blended for the near perfect match to your skin color and tone.

Color
There are literally hundreds of different lipstick colors on the market and it can be a daunting task to pick the right one if you are venturing into this part of fashion for the first time. A neutral lip color is the most versatile, as it will match any skin color and any outfit. A medium lip color will help make your lips look larger.

Types
Not all lipsticks are created equal, and you may find some are moisturizing while others are crème. The moisturizing types are good for keeping your lips moist and are perfect for those who wear lipstick often, but the downside is that it tends to bleed. Crème lipstick on the other hand, bleeds less, but you run the risk of ending up with dry lips at the end of the day.

Finishes
Traditional lipstick has always had a matte finish, and manufacturers have aimed to create a whole new selection of finishes. The matte type will last the longest but they can end up drying your lips. Sheer lipstick is good for adding that extra glam but it doesn’t last long. A glossy finish will help to make your lips look fuller, but you will have to reapply it several times during the day.

The Problems with Dress Up Makeup Kits
The Problems with Dress Up Makeup Kits
We’ve all seen a dress up makeup kit. They’re cute. You see all sorts of pretty colors and reds and blues and greens and pinks. Most of the time, when playing with them, your daughter’s first reaction is to use what is brightest and boldest. It’s natural. It’s bright, and pretty and therefore looks really, really attractive. If the color happens to be her favorite, that will only make matters a bit worse. However, there does come a time when you have to sit back and look at what exactly you are handing your little girl. What might seem like harmless makeup may turn into a big deal later on or even the next day. Here are some of the problems with play makeup kits.
1. Colors. These kits have some of the most ridiculous colors. In fact, given the right complexion, you could recreate a Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland Red Queen look with some of the colors. For a little girl just playing around, she may not realize that the makeup is just for play and she may try to play with darker colors.
2. Daily use. Another thing is this: if your child watches you using makeup on a daily basis, they may be under the impression that since you use your makeup on a daily basis, they can use theirs on this basis. Unfortunately, this can lead to many a funny look and face scrub for your daughter. Not to mention the disappointment.
There’s nothing wrong with these kits themselves. It’s the fact that they need to be explained. For example, you could have an alternative kit with neutral colors in case she wants to wear the makeup out of the house (assuming she is of a decent age.). This also allows her to see what’s for play and what’s for practical use.

1. Start by applying a thin layer of moisturizer with foundation all over the eye area. After this, apply a very light dusting of powder on your face.
2. You can choose either a liquid liner or a power liner and apply it in a thick line. If you have shaky hands do not use a liquid liner, use a power liner instead.
3. The eye shadow can make or break this eye makeup effect. Choose a dark color eye shadow and focus on applying it below your crease and then lighten as you get closer to the brow bone. Basically, black has been popularly use for this effect but you can opt for a navy blue, gray, brown or dark plum.
4. The next thing to do is to curl and lengthen your eye lashes. This is the important key to get those smoky eyes. To finish your eye makeup, apply at most three coats of mascara on your eye lashes.

The problem comes in where continuous application of all sorts of products eventually takes its toll on your skin and you can and up with dry, damaged skin.

Moisturize: By using a moisturizer you will help to keep your skin moist and looking healthy. It will also help when it comes to makeup application, making for a smoother process.

Lipstick: You may have fantasies about looking like all those gorgeous movie stars with the red lips, but looking like that all the time can take its toll. Lips were not meant to endure layer after layer of lipstick, so if you do use it a lot, try to get ones that will moisturize your lips as well.
Makeup remover: Makeup remover is your best friend at the end of the night. While manufacturers make products to last 24 hours, this is never a good idea if you think of the range of chemicals and substances you put on your face during any given makeup session. Always invest in a good remover and make sure you go to bed with clear skin.
Labels: Many women buy what everyone else is using, but it is very important that you read the labels. You want makeup that is chemical-free, non-toxic, and that does not cause any allergic reactions. This will go a long way to keeping your skin healthy.
