How to Apply Makeup

Blush:Blush comes in powders, creams, and gels. Apply gel or crème blush with your fingertips or cosmetic sponge, and apply powder with a medium sized blush brush. For powder blush, it’s best to avoid the tiny brushes that come with many department store blush compact – these can give a streaky blush line.
For any type of blush, first look into the mirror and smile naturally. Apply blush to the round part (commonly referred to as the ‘apple’ if your cheek) and then upward at an angle to define the cheekbone.
Powder Perfect:Learning to apply  face powder is one of the easiest makeup steps. Loose powder should be applied after liquid foundations and blush to set the makeup. Dip a large makeup brush into loose powder; gently tap the side of the container to tap off the excess, and gently dust all over the face.
Pressed powder can be applied after foundation, or alone to set makeup or reduce shine. Most come in compact form and a pressed powder puff. Just press the powder gently and smooth onto the face.

For a fuller lip look, apply a dab of light-colored lip gloss in the center of the bottom lip and blend into the lip color.Although tube lipsticks are quick and easy, using a lipstick brush offers you greater control and coverage options.
