The first and the foremost thing about make up is that it should be according to the occasion. For daytime the make up should be lighter and for night functions it can be brighter.

Some women do not ware make up at al because of the fear that do not make it a loud. In such cases they can start with light make up using light shades and fewer things. Like initially they can start with foundation, then mascara, then blush or lipstick.

For the make the foundation to be used of the color of the skin. Blending the shades to get the perfect skin color is important. Same is for the powder. Darker shades look good on dark people and lighter shades are suitable for fair people. After doing all the make up the overall make up should look natural.

The lip liner should be applied on entire lips and then the lipstick of desired color should be used. The lip color should go along with the skin color and the lip liner should be seen. To make the lips smaller the lip liner should be applied on the inner side of the lips and make them look larger then the lip liner should be applied on outer side of the lips. Sometimes this can look ugly.

The eyeliner should be thin and light. This will brighten up rest of the make up and will give softer looks. Mascara also should be light. As excessive mascara can cause flaking and can look ugly if worn with thick eyeliner or dark blue eye shadow.

To color the hair the shades chosen should suit the original color. If the original hair is dark color then a dark color will suit them. If the original hair color is light then light colors are better. If one decides to color the hair then consistency is a must otherwise the roots will be seen differently.

Finally if make up is done regular touch ups throughout the day are required otherwise it will start fading or creasing.

While buying make up products it is not necessary that only big stores should be selected. It is common thought that the big stores have best products and best prices. The make up products companies can earn more by selling their products in bigger stores as customers do not like to and do not trust smaller stores. In these stores the products are very expensive. There are smaller shops who sell good quality make up products that too at cheaper rates. The smaller shops may not have all the make up brands but the one you are looking for may be available with him and that too at cheaper rates.
