Applying makeup is essential for any woman. It is essential to choose and wear the right colored foundation, blush, eye shadow and lipstick so that your makeup looks natural and not like a mask. In addition to this, you will find these makeup tips helpful when you apply makeup.

1. If you prefer wearing dark eye shadow shades, sweep some loose powder under your eyes to catch falling specks and to prevent it from staining your skin.
2. Turn ordinary foundation into a medicated one by adding a drop of witch hazel to it. This is great for oily skin that is prone to acne and pimples.
3. With a bright and light lipstick, your lips look larger. If you want to make them look smaller, just wear dark and muted colors.
4. To slim down your cheeks, use ordinary face powder that is a few shades darker than your skin color.
5. To ensure false lashes stick properly, first apply mascara to your lashes.
6. Make tired eyes look fresh by blending a little concealer just away from your eye’s outer corner.
7. If you don’t have time to makeup, just apply a bright red lipstick. It helps brighten your face and looks great on anyone.
8. By dipping your eye shadow brush in water and then applying your eye shadow, your powder eye shadow color looks more intense.
9. Brush your eye lashes with petroleum jelly before sleeping at night to keep them smooth and supple.
10. To make your makeup go on easily, give your moisturizer time to sink in before applying makeup.
11. By applying a dot to the center of your lower lip, your lip gloss looks even more sophisticated.
12. Hold eyeliners that are hard and drag to your skin next to a lighted bulb for a few seconds before applying. It makes its application much easier.
13. If you are fed up of lipstick getting on your lips, try this out. Just put your finger in your mouth after applying lipstick, purse your lips and pull out your finger. You’ll look great without any lipstick stains.
14. Mascara that tends to clog on your lower lashes should be applied using a small, thin brush. You can individually color your lashes with the brush for better effects.
15. If you are near-sighted and wear spectacles, use brighter eye shadows and lots of mascara. This helps make your eyes look bigger and ensure they don’t disappear.
16. Your eyes look much more alive if you use white eye liner inside your eyes.
17. For instant shaping and grooming of eyebrows, just spray some hairspray on a toothbrush and brush your brows. This makes your face look much better.
18. Your blush lasts longer on a sunny day if you first apply both cream and powder blusher. First, you have to apply the cream foundation, set your blush using some translucent powder and last, dust using a little powder blush.

These make up tips are easy to understand, but effective in creating an impression wherever you go!

In a bid to look younger, most people spend lots of money on cosmetic surgery and botox treatments. Though all this will definitely make you look younger, there are other methods that are not so drastic, but will definitely help you look younger.

1. Drink as much water as possible everyday to flush out toxins from the body. Eat a healthy and nutritious diet as proper diet helps you look young, and helps you lead a long and healthy life.
2. Take a weekly sauna to enhance blood circulation and give super soft skin.
3. Make it a point to wash your face twice a day and to exfoliate your skin once a week to remove dead skin. Then apply a moisturizer to replace all lost moisture.
4. Prevent skin cancer by applying a good quality sun screen whenever you go out to the sun.
5. By improving your body shape and muscle tone through regular exercise, you look lots younger. Maintain a combination of aerobic exercises like swimming and walking and anaerobic or strength building exercise.
6. Develop a positive and not negative attitude towards life. This is because the way you look defines the way you think. Frowns lead to wrinkles, which make you look less attractive.
7. Never start smoking; and if you do smoke, stop immediately as smoking only helps in aging. It releases free radicals that kill cells at any development stage and constricts facial capillaries to make you look pale.
8. Your hairstyle greatly affects your look. Don’t use the same style; but try a new hairstyle. Follow the styles actors and actresses use, and modify to your own face. Color your hair a color that blends with your skin tone. Lighten dark hair and add some lowlights to light hair.
9. The lipstick you wear should make your teeth look whiter; but don’t use brown tints. The whiter your teeth are, the younger you look. Also keep your lips moist and glossed as wrinkled lips make you look old.
10. Visit the dentist to get your teeth whitened; or use a good tooth whitener.
11. Nails should always be done, and have a light nail color. Natural nails look younger.
12. Hands should be moisturized at all times as dry hands only make you look old.
13. To look young, you have to dress young, but not too young. So look at current magazines to see what people wear. Try fashions you think will look good on you as spontaneity and taking chances is part of youth.
14. Similarly, keep up with everything new. So listen to new music, try new things and learn some terms younger use. By understanding younger people, you look younger.
15. Keep smiling as it helps take years off instantly. Relax; showing tension on your face only makes you look old.
16. Get as much sleep as possible; and rest whenever you feel tired. By sleeping and resting, your body recharges its system and improves your resistance to disease. Moreover, your memory and IQ improves after a good night’s sleep.

Instead of spending money on cosmetic surgery, try implementing these tips in your day to day activities. You are sure to look much younger than you actually are!
