			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The smoky eye is fall&#8217;s number one beauty trend. On the runways, we can see everything from glam rock gray to smoldering sexy color.</p>
<p><img src="/images/how-to-smoky-eye-makeup.jpg" alt="Smoky Eye Makeup" title="Smoky Eye Makeup" width="260" height="197" class="alignright" />To achieve that smoky eye look, you want to make sure that you do your eyes first. You don&#8217;t need a full face of makeup when you&#8217;re wearing smoky eyes. </p>
<p>One of our favorite looks is actually showing the smoky eye with a little bit of color.  So using colors like browns, violets, and blues can achieve that sexy smoldering look without as much black. We&#8217;re also seeing smoky in a different way. It could be smoky in a colorful way or smoky in a traditional way. You can also do a light smoky or dark smoky eye.</p>
<p>With this type of look, you start with giving the eyes the deepest color then blend up in your eyelids. Then you take it under, this look is supposed to be sexy. It&#8217;s an undone kind of look.</p>
<h3>Smoky Eye Makeup Video</h3>
<p><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/R3b0wtUOJNM&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/R3b0wtUOJNM&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object></p>
<p>Go in the inside of the eye with an eye pencil, this gives the smoky eye a little more richness and depth. With the pencil, get both corners of the eye. So really, a smudge pot and a black pencil is all you need to achieve the smoky eye.</p>
<p>Over the entire lid, place a light color then take the darker shadow and work that into the crease of the eye. Keep the dark shade against the lashes, in the crease, and extending it out.</p>
<p>So you&#8217;ll be working with two colors basically. It&#8217;s very simple.  Underneath the same thing, you could use the darker shadow and apply it along the base of the eyelash. Then you would just finish with a coat of mascara.</p>
<p>So, now you can score this smoldering smoky eye look yourself.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Summer make-up look is about fresh, summery and glowing skin. Summer looks compromises of a lovely blush, peachy bronze cheeks and lovely, pink and glossy lips. For the clothes, Monet-inspired floral prints and floaty, breezy dresses give a really summery feel.</p>
<p>Let’s get started on the make-up.</p>
<p><img src="/images/summer-makeup-look-tips.jpg" alt="Summer Make Up Look Tips" title="Summer Make Up Look Tips" width="260" height="300" class="alignright" />Use a foundation to create a lovely illuminating face and an eyeshadow with a few glitters. Apply the eyeshadow across the lower lid of the eye to give it a glowing gold shimmer. Next, use a shimmering powder to apply to the top of the eyelid.</p>
<p>Also use a kohl eyeliner pencil into the ridge of the lashes as well just for some definition. Rub the kohl pencil on your hand gently, just to get out the edge making it a little bit softer. Apply the pencil towards the roots of the lashes. </p>
<p>To compliment you’re really pretty fresh makeup, using a mousse mascara just to the top lashes can really accentuate that pretty eyes.</p>
<p>Blush is the main focus of this summer look. Apply it to the apples of the cheeks using a flat brush and blend it in with your finger. I also recommend using a bronze mousse to accentuate those pretty blushed bronze sun-kissed cheeks.</p>
<p>Finally, use long lasting lipstick that gives you a sheer and dewy texture and a lovely pink pout.</p>
<p>Now you have that fresh, feminine and girly look which accentuate by a strong bronzed peachy cheek.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We’re going to do a nightclub look today so you can go clubbing with your friends, have lots of fun and look beautiful.</p>
<p><img src="/images/nightclub-makeup-look.jpg" alt="Nightclub Makeup Look" title="Nightclub Makeup Look" width="260" height="200" class="alignright" />First, we put liquid foundation on the eyelids. The reason we do this is because veins tend to be quite visible in the eyelids. Then after, we’re going to apply a magnificent mineral makeup. Mineral makeup needs to be applied in a swirling motion on the skin. This gives you a lovely, natural look which is what you want.</p>
<p>Now we move to the concealer. The key to concealer is to apply it in just the inner corners of your under eye. A lot of people apply it right around the eye corner but what that actually does is just enhance dark circles. </p>
<p>Also, with the concealer, you put a little of the product in the back of your hand. It warms the concealer that makes it adhere much better to the skin. And the key to proper concealer application is for you to not know where the concealer begins and ends. This also applies to the foundation as well.</p>
<p>For the eye color, we’re going to do just a bit of purple today.  Purple is great with brown eyes. So are blues. With brown eyes, it’s quite easy to get lots of fabulous effects.</p>
<h3>Nightclub Makeup Look Video</h3>
<p><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/6oeYR4AP_DM&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/6oeYR4AP_DM&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object></p>
<p>If you think you have eyes that are a little bit close together, all you do is start with your eyeshadow midway your eyelids and out. You want to avoid, applying the eyeshadow completely in.</p>
<p>Now, that we’re finished with the eyelid, apply a little bit of purple under the eyes as well. You can just a trusty cotton bud in applying a bit of color. </p>
<p>There’s nothing better than going out and night clubbing so a bit of silver is just appropriate. </p>
<p>Just one thing about glittery shadow and glitter in general: It would look fabulous only if you’re under 25. You when you’re younger than 25, you can get away with glitter.</p>
<p>When you’re applying any eye pencil, the key is to apply it from outside in. Everybody starts applying eye pencil inside out and then they don’t know where to end. Sometimes, it can look a little bit forced and over done.</p>
<p>On top of the eye pencil, we’re going to overlap it with a fine, liquid eyeliner. This gives you a more glamorous look. Again, apply the eyeliner from the outside in. It’s best to use liquid eyeliner with a pen-like or texture-like applicator.</p>
<p>Next, we’re going to introduce a little bit of pink for a little bit of fun. So you start applying blush on the apples of your cheeks. If you’re not sure where the apples of your cheeks are, do a little smile. Then you just brush your blush. It couldn’t be easier.</p>
<p>When you’re applying, in general, any silver powder items, remember to always finish with a downward brush.</p>
<p>Now, it’s time for a setting spritz. All mineral make-ups sold comes with a correct brush and a setting spritz. You just need to spritz in a small amount in your forehead and both your cheeks.</p>
<p>For a little bit of eyebrow, just feather in the make-up. It would make your eyebrow look more finished and polished.<br />
If you have any stray eyebrow hairs that are going in every direction, just take an eyebrow brush and spray some hairspray on it. Comb that over your eyebrows to easily tame those unruly hairs.</p>
<p>If you just take a little bit of time with the mascara, which is the finishing touch, it makes you look even great.</p>
<p>Most people look better with mascara on just the top lashes not the bottom, so we’re going to do just that. Don’t just go applying your mascara just like that and expect it to look great. You have to invest a little time in your lashes. And if you do, it will fix your whole look. And makes your eyes stand out and look beautiful. Just look at the difference of the mascara-ed eye versus the bare one without mascara. </p>
<p>Now that we’ve emphasized the eyes, we’d want to go with a neutral lip and you want to make your lips a little bit fuller.</p>
<p>When applying a lip pencil, what you should do is just go a little bit above the lip line. Do this on the bottom lip as well.</p>
<p>Remember, we’re concentrating on the middle areas of the lips. The key to remember with lipstick is that thinner your lips are, the lighter your lipstick should be. </p>
<p>And of course, the finishing touch to your lipstick is gloss. Just apply the gloss to the center of the lips. This way, your lip will get a little bit of sheen and a lot of gloss. It also makes your lips standout and a lot fuller.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Step one to applying your make up:  Start with your foundation. You really want a foundation color that matches your skin tone exactly; you want to blend it in.  Any area that you don’t have redness or things like that, you want to cover-up. So you would want to match your foundation to that. </p>
<p><img src="/images/how-to-professionaly-apply-makeup.jpg" alt="How to Professionally Apply Makeup" title="How to Professionally Apply Makeup" width="261" height="238" class="alignright" />I always start by dabbing the foundation on evenly. I like to blend it with my fingers because it really presses the make-up into my skin and pores. You can always finish it up with your make-up sponge right after. </p>
<p>Step 2 :  Concealer should also match your skin tone exactly. It can have some yellow tones in it or different tones. It is used to camouflage any discoloration or redness you may have. </p>
<p>I love using a concealer that already has a ready-made brush. I frequently use it under my eyes, around the nose is also a good highlighting area. If you have any blemishes anywhere, you can also cover it up with a makeup sponge and just press it in.</p>
<p>Step 3: After you have your base on, which is your foundation and concealer and if you’re happy with the way it looks, you want to set it with powder. I prefer using a loose powder while some people use a light pressed powder. With powders, you just want to keep it very light. Just do a light dusting all over your whole face.</p>
<p>Step 4:  I start with the eyebrows because it frames your face for the rest of your makeup. I like to use a pencil with some eyebrow brush that we can use to blend. Some people prefer to use powder. I just fill in my eyebrows and blend with a eyebrow brush, pushing in any hard line you may have made.</p>
<p>Step 5: I always start with the lightest eyeshadow color, my highlighter color.  I usually apply it with my finger on the entire lid. Then you take your second color which is a little darker. Now, we use a brush. Apply the second color right into your crease and just blend it in. You can actually use any color but it should always be a little darker than your base color.</p>
<p>Now that you have your eyeshadow on, you’re ready for step 6 which is the eyeliner.</p>
<p>I almost always use black or a really dark color. I also like to get the kind with spongy tip in the end so you can blend the eyeliner in.</p>
<p>I always start on top of the upper lid and apply it really close to the lash line. What you don’t want is for any light to show between your lashes and your lid. Then you take your sponge tip and just smudge it all in.</p>
<p>Step 7:  Now that you have your eyeshadow and eyeliner on, it’s time for mascara. Applying mascara really finishes your eye. The number one thing, you want to do once you open your mascara, is wipe the excess on a tissue. </p>
<p>Then you apply the mascara and get it as close to the base of your lashes as you can. I like to apply the mascara on top and underneath alternately. </p>
<p>If you have clumps, you can take an eyelash separator and comb it out. And that’s it, that is how you apply make-up!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>First, apply some powder foundation on your face. You can also use any type of foundation you like. Then apply black eyeliner. Draw a thick line with whatever form you wish your eyes to be eyelined like. Once you have that fill in your lid heavily. Just use that eyeliner like a crayon, don&#8217;t be afraid. Fill that that lid in and make it really black. Once you&#8217;re done with the top eyelid, draw under your bottom lashes but not too much though. Just make the line visible.</p>
<p><img src="/images/the-scene-makeup-look.jpg" alt="The Scene Makeup Look" title="The Scene Makeup Look" width="260" height="170" class="alignright" />Now, on top of the liner put some black shadow, it will make the makeup last longer and look smoother</p>
<p>Apply a little more foundation in a natural color to enhance your eyes.</p>
<p>Then put on a light pink blush.</p>
<p>To finish the look, apply some gloss on your lips. It would be more fun if you use a lip gloss that taste like candy.</p>
<p>Doing a scene make up is simple.  All you need is lots of eyeliner, some foundation and lips gloss and you&#8217;re done.</p>

It&#8217;s a very classic and sophisticated make up look with very bold and bright red lips, but it&#8217;s also easy to do at home. So let&#8217;s get started.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today, we are going to do a Rihanna make over. It is inspired from the Rihanna &#8220;Take a Bow&#8221; video.  It&#8217;s a very classic and sophisticated make up look with very bold and bright red lips, but it&#8217;s also easy to do at home. So let&#8217;s get started. </p>
<p><img src="/images/how-to-do-the-rihanna-make-up-look.jpg" alt="How to Do the Rihanna Makeup Look" title="How to Do the Rihanna Makeup Look" width="299" height="274" class="alignright" />Now the first thing we&#8217;re going start with is the concealer. And were going to start with the area just underneath the eyes, applying the concealer with a sponge and just cover up any dark circles. </p>
<p>Rihanna has a really flawless look in the video, so we&#8217;re going to use a fairly heavy concealer around the nose area just to cover up any imperfections. </p>
<p>Now we&#8217;re going to apply an all over foundation. Rihanna&#8217;s look is a bit lighter than her natural skin tone so we&#8217;re going to go just a shade lighter and use a sponge again. This will help us blend in our concealer as well. <br clear="all" /></p>
<h3>How to Do the Rihanna Makeup Look Video</h3>
<p><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/2SDEscQrrPQ&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/2SDEscQrrPQ&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object></p>
<p>Once you have your foundation on all over, I&#8217;d like to use a blendable powder instead of powder brush so we&#8217;re going to apply it all over the entire face. Set our foundation, blend downwards and get a little extra on the nose, chin, and under the eyes so we can put on our eye make-up nicely.</p>
<p>With a big blush brush, we&#8217;re going to just put a little bit of bronzer all over the entire face. In the process of doing this, we just knock off any of the loose powder. </p>
<p>Now right above the cheek bone, we&#8217;re going to put some glitter. We&#8217;re using a very fine glitter that&#8217;s just enough to highlight the cheekbones.</p>
<p>For our blush, we&#8217;re not going on to the apple of the cheek. We&#8217;re going to really define the cheek bone to get Rihanna&#8217;s look. And we&#8217;re going do it right on the check bone line. Dab the blush on and just blend it down a little bit and a little to the temple. This give us lots of definition.</p>
<p>We&#8217;re going to use three colors to achieve Rihanna&#8217;s eye look. We&#8217;re going to start with an oliver base on the eyelid with a sort of a golden yellow color. We&#8217;re going to bring the color all over the entire eyelid, right down to the corner; right to the lashes and just into the crease. </p>
<p>Right up by the brow, we&#8217;re going to use an even paler yellow. It really highlights that area and we&#8217;re going to take that color right up into the brow line.</p>
<p>Take your darker brown, still got a little bit of yellow gold color to it; we&#8217;re going to add some definition into the eye. We&#8217;re going to take it right into the crease and a little bit down into the eyelash line.</p>
<p>Rihanna&#8217;s eyebrows are somewhat understated in the video. We&#8217;re going to use an eye brow pencil that is slighty lighter than the natural eyebrow color. We&#8217;re just going do a light line and just extend it a little bit. </p>
<p>This is where the fun comes in, what you&#8217;re going to do for the eyeliner is pull up on your eye and you&#8217;re going to try and get it nice and close to the lash line. You&#8217;ll want kohl eyeliner that&#8217;s got a really good point on it.</p>
<p>Make sure your eyeliner&#8217;s nice and close to the lash line. Rihanna  has the liner all the way around right othe corner and slightly extended beyond the lash line. </p>
<p>Now I&#8217;d like to take my eyeshadow brush and just give that line a little smudge. We&#8217;re not going for a smoky look but just blend it out just a little bit to smooth everything out. </p>
<p>For the bottom lid, we&#8217;re going take our black khol eyeliner and line the inside rim of the eye. And still with black kohl, we&#8217;re going just underneath lash line. Try and follow the lash line as closely as you can. </p>
<p>And then again with an eyeshadow brush, we&#8217;re going smudge that line. Just blend it all, make it nice and even. This brings everything together.</p>
<p>Now mascara, we&#8217;re going to use a nice dark black. I like to start in the corners because I&#8217;d like to give that the most coverage and push them right up. We can really get them almost looking like you have false eyelashes. </p>
<p>For the bottom lash, I&#8217;d like to use the tip of my mascara brush and just dab it on concentrating on the outside lashes.</p>
<p>For Rihanna&#8217;s beautiful lips, we&#8217;re going to start with a clear lips gloss. This is actually a plumping lip gloss and gives you a little bit of a tingle. This is going to help us put on our lipliner on smoothly. </p>
<p>Now for the lips, we&#8217;re going to start with a matching lipliner that&#8217;s going match our lipstick. We&#8217;re just going to define the natural shape of the lips and extend it a little bit.</p>
<p>Before we do our lipstick, we&#8217;re going to put on a matching gloss that going to help us put on our lipstick. You don&#8217;t need too much of it and just meet up with your eyeliner. </p>
<p>What&#8217;s going keep this all in place is our lipstick and that&#8217;s just going to make everything last longer. Again, we have matching lipstick. I like to dab it on, gets it on a little bit thicker and gives the lips a pouty look. </p>
<p>A nice little trick that I like to finish up your lips is to take your highlighting powder, the glitter that I used on top of the cheek, and apply it right in the center of the bottom lip. It really gives it definition and really gives it that pouty look. And you&#8217;re look is complete.</p>
<p>There you have it, we have a Rihanna make-over, inspired by the Take a Bow video. A really classic make up but very easy to do at home.</p>

This has a yellow tint to it. Yellow is a really good counter active to blues and purples around the eyes area, which typically is the color that you see with your dark circles. And that’s just simply because the skin around the eye is so thin and we have a lot of blood vessels that’s really close to the eye surface. </p>
<p>So, what you’re going to do is take a little bit of the eye treatment on your ring finger. Pat it around the orbital bone of your eye.</p>
<p> And you’re just going to massage it in a circular motion in a clockwise direction. Some lymphatic drainage massage helps stimulate circulation around the eye area and also drain any congestion.</p>
<p>As an added plus, this treatment cream has some instant brightening effects to it. It has an instant yellow tint that’s going to counteract the under eye darkness. </p>
<p>And overtime, it’s going to help thicken the skin around the eye. The treatment is going to hydrate the eye area. This treatment has caffeine in it that will help stimulate circulation around the eye area to help counteract the dark circles.</p>
<p>So those are some tips on how you can get rid of dark circles.</p>

Before you start, make sure your face has been cleaned, toned, and moisturized. Remember, you&#8217;ll get a much better natural looking results when applying make-up on a clean face. Let&#8217;s begin with the eyes. Did you know 9 out of 10 people have dark circles in their eyes? Don&#8217;t be surprised, you are not alone.</p>
<p>Now, tilt your head down and locate where your dark circles are. Let&#8217;s begin with the right eye. Take your favorite concealer and apply it gently on the dark circle using your ring ringer. Make sure you blend in the concealer in a rolling motion to make it look natural.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m using my ring finger because we need to be delicate to our under eyes. Some people might prefer using a brush or sponge though. You should use whatever tool works best for you too. Now, let&#8217;s do the left eye. Locate, dab on and blend the concealer using a rolling motion. Remember, we are not trying to erase the dark circles; we&#8217;re only trying to make it less obvious.</p>
<h3>How to Apply Natural Looking Makeup Video</h3>
<p><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/OB8nfJCOIeE&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/OB8nfJCOIeE&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object></p>
<p>After the eyes, we also need to conceal the other areas of the face. Take a face brush and apply mineral concealer lightly around the face. Concentrate on areas where the skin tends to be very red; it could be around the nose and the mouth. Blend the mineral concealer using a circular motion. We are doing this to even out our skin tone.</p>
<p>After the concealer, we move on to the foundation.  Evenly coat your foundation brush with a mineral based foundation. Starting at the center of your face, blend in the foundation evenly using a circular motion.  Don&#8217;t forget to include your jaw line and neck. </p>
<p>This mineral product that I&#8217;m using is very natural so it won&#8217;t clog the pores. And it works very well for me.</p>
<p>We are now moving on to the eyebrows. Eyebrows can be a little tricky. The rule of thumb is to use eyebrow make-up that&#8217;s three shades lighter than your hair color.  I usually use powder make-up for my eyebrows. When applying it, I usually go from light to dark. Remember, you want to make it look very natural, as if it&#8217;s your real eyebrows.  So make sure you blend it properly.</p>
<p>There are lots of eyeliner varieties you can choose from. You can either use eyeliner in pencil, powder, or liquid form. I personally use liquid eyeliner. If you want a naturally clean look, line only the top part of your eyelids.  Make sure you evenly line both your eyes.</p>
<p>Before applying any mascara on, be sure you curl your lashes first. When you&#8217;ve done that, take your mascara and evenly coat both your lashes. There are different types of mascara brands. But if you want something that holds curls very well, I suggest you go for waterproof mascara since it contains more wax. </p>
<p>Using blush is a great way to achieve that natural looking glow. To apply blush properly, find the apples of your cheeks by smiling. Hold that smile and apply your blush. Make sure you blend it gently on your cheeks; also along the jaw line and the forehead as well for that all natural glow.</p>
<p> By this time, you should be done with your make up. And the last step is the lips. Find your favourite lipstick, lip gloss or lip balm and use that.  In my case, I&#8217;m using lipstick. It is quite fun to experiment with lip color. Find different lipstick shades that compliment your face, skin tone, your features and even your outfits. </p>
<p>I like applying a bit lip gloss to achieve a touch of shine. So now, we&#8217;re pretty much done with our natural looking make-up.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s time to look in the mirror to check how successful you are with achieving the natural look!</p>
<p>Applying make up in a perfect way is also a talent. Make up should be applied in such a way that you look beautiful as well as natural. Everyone in this world wants to look beautiful and applying make up in the best way just adds to your beauty and if overdone, it ruins your beauty. The make up kit you use needs to be from a trusted brand. Don&#8217;t compromise on your make up kits, because cheap and untrustworthy make ups might ruin your skin. Always go for the best make up kits mostly recommended by dermatologists.</p>
<p>Applying make up starts with cleaning your face properly before doing anything. After cleaning, you need to apply some good moisturizer on your face. While applying make up, to get the best and the most natural look, you need to choose the foundation color which best suits your skin tone. Foundation applied on your face always needs to merge with your skin, so choose a foundation which best suits skin tone. After applying a good foundation, you need to apply good concealer on your face and then some good face powder should be applied. Blush if applied to the cheeks just adds to your beauty.</p>
<p>Applying make up to the eye is also tricky and you need to learn how to apply the best make up to your eye to make them look amazing. You need to put good eyeliner. Eye shadow color also needs to be chosen as per the occasion and color of your dress. Good lash curler and brow pencil if applied properly look great on your face. Your make up can&#8217;t be perfect without good lip color, gloss and lip liner. Following good make up tips to apply make up on your face really catch you lot of attention from everyone.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>To achieve a flawless make up look, we are going to use a multi-cleanser. This removes make-up, dirt and pore blocking ingredients effective;</p>
<p><img src="/images/flawless-makeup-application-tutorial.jpg" alt="Flawless Makeup Application Tutorial" title="Flawless Makeup Application Tutorial" width="260" height="195" class="alignright" />After that, we are going to apply a skin refiner. Just put a few drops on a cotton pad and apply it all over the face. This helps solve acne problems caused by bacteria and it also strengthens the skins immunity so there are no clogged or enlarged pores.</p>
<p>After that, your skin will be clear and brighter. It also helps control oil and tones down redness.</p>
<p>Now, we are going to apply an emulsion. Emulsion contains bean extract and lots of other valuable ingredients. It acts as an oxidant and moisturizes and formulated to give optimum skin renewal and rehydration.</p>
<p>So, just spread the emulsion across the face. Make sure you get every inch of the skin and use only your middle finger.</p>
<p>Now your skin is ready to be primed.</p>
<h3>Flawless Makeup Application Tutorial Video</h3>
<p><object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/1jPFYj0luLc?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/1jPFYj0luLc?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object></p>
<p>We are going to use a primer that can hydrate dry skin to fit make up. A primer also gives skin radiance and vitality. </p>
<p>This primer that I&#8217;m using refines the skin texture and provides hydration to the skin which is important in the next stage of makeup. Most of all, the primer also works as layer that can provide a very smooth matte finish to your face resulting to an ever more flawless application from your foundation.</p>
<p>This foundation that I’m using controls the sebum on your skin. It would prevent your skin from getting too oily. </p>
<p>For the foundation I’m using one with an SPF 22. This dew foundation has a concealer on top and I’m applying that concealer underneath my eyes. </p>
<p>The imperfections like blemishes and dark circles are concealed. Also as a result, skin is kept moist and comfortable thought out the day.</p>
<p>Don’t forget when applying concealer, use only your ring finger and dabbing it in a rolling motion.</p>
<p>Concentrate in the inner corners of the eyes which sometimes appear s to be slightly blue from sleep deprivation. Also use the concealer on the shadows around the nose. The concealer should work very well and melt into the skin just like snow hence the snow finish.</p>
<p>Looking for more dark skin and blemishes to cover up when you apply concealer. Also, apply more in the undereyes because that usually needs more coverage.</p>
<p>Always take your time when applying foundation. It’s very important for our under eyes.</p>
<p>Now for the foundation, use your brush and run it across your face. The brush that I’m using gives a flawless application because it is so light. This foundation that I’m using compromises a honeycomb structure which has moisturizing ingredients. </p>
<p>It brings across like a complex and this complex ran back moisture like a cobweb which keeps the moisture running all day long.</p>
<p>Your make-up should work very well and if you still have loose foundation powder left over, use that. </p>
<p>Just take your time and run the powder across the forehead and cheeks. There are a lot of setting brushes in the market today, and if you can always one better one if you’re not satisfied with your current brush</p>
<p>It&#8217;s time to move to setting powder.  The one I&#8217;m using has SPF and is water proof. </p>
<p>Just buff the setting powder all over the face. I find it best not to use a kabuki because it gives a far too heavy coverage. I like my make-up looking thin and fresh.</p>
<p>And this is how to apply make up for a flawless finish.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For an Angelina Jolie Make-up look, once you have the base color on, move to the lid color.</p>
<p><img src="/images/how-to-do-the-angelina-jolie-makeup-look.jpg" alt="How to Do the Angelina Jolie Makeup Look" title="How to Do the Angelina Jolie Makeup Look" width="260" height="210" class="alignright" />With the lid color, we don’t want to do anything dramatic so we’ll just do a multi-cappuccino color. Use a cream in matte because it’s going to go on nice and smooth. You can use a powder as well as long as it looks creamy and smooth. </p>
<p>We always want it darker than the base color but not too dark. This is a kind of like a neutral caramel lid so that the liner really stand out once we put it on.</p>
<p>We’re just going to apply the color into the lid, and that is where the ball of the eye protrudes, right down to the lashes but not up past the crease of your eye.</p>
<p>Underneath the eye, we want to keep it light. We also want everything to be blended. You don’t want to see any fine lines or demarcation lines. Everything needs to look like it’s blended in perfectly.</p>
<p>This is a very natural look except for the eyeliner and the lashes. You can see the difference where we did just base and how the lid color blends into that look now.</p>
<p>Also, just take a tiny bit of the lid color underneath the eye. With this look, it’s really not about underneath the eye. There’s really not much going on underneath, we’re just making it sheer and pale.</p>
<p>So let’s blend it all in so it doesn’t look like everything is on top.</p>
<p>Now, we’re ready to move on to the eyeliner!</p>
