Applying Blush
Applying blush can be one of the more difficult make-up techniques to learn. Blush creates the difference between a young, healthy look and a swallow, tired look. Unfortunately, applying too much or to the wrong area of your cheek instead transforms you into a clown. Add to that the difficulty of finding the correct shade of blush and correct brush and you’ve got a make-up technique that takes practice and patience to conquer.
You will want to select a blush that is close to the natural glow of your cheeks after exercise and you should keep your blush in the same color family as your lipstick. Of course, this isn’t very helpful when you’re staring at row after row of blush in the make-up store.
To find the perfect blush, you’ll want to first start with your skin depth. If you have a darker skin, you can wear a darker blush like burgundy or wine shades. Lighter skin tones need to wear lighter blushes like pink or coral shades.

Airbrush Makeup
Airbrush Makeup
Airbrush makeup is not a new concept to the makeup industry. It has been used in film for many years. Airbrush makeup was used in the movie Ben Hur in 1922. It was then used as a fast technique of applying makeup to many actors. Airbrush makeup picked up a bit more popularity in the 1970s. It was originally thought of as an area of specialty in the cosmetic world.
Today, airbrush makeup is on the rise in popularity due partially to the increase in technology such as digital pictures and digital television and its long-lasting durability. In the past, film and television makeup was exaggerated so that the actors did not appear to be washed out. Some makeup had to be applied darker than normal to be seen in the bright lights while other times colors choices were limited due to the color of light. Cameras, lighting, and viewing quality were not as clear and exact. The viewers could not see lines in the makeup; therefore, the lines were not quite defined. Makeup covering facial imperfections such as blemishes and scars was less visible. Many touch-ups were needed. In other cases, film speed greatly affected the makeup, making everything visible. The makeup artist needed to be concerned with film sensitivity before applying makeup. Today, digital pictures and digital television have enhanced faces so that every line, blemish, and blend can be seen clearly. Close-up shots are common. As a result, today’s film and television makeup have adjusted to the need for perfection and precision by relying on airbrush makeup.
Eyeshadow Application Tips For Cross Dressers
Many consider eyes to be one of a woman’s most beautiful features. No matter how far you go back in history, women have always been illustrated with large, beautiful eyes.
Quite understandably, you will also want to make the most of your eyes – especially if it helps you look and feel more feminine. Of course, the fact that beautiful eyes can distract from a number of facial flows gives you yet another reason to really get to work on these assets.
Eyeshadow allows you to really accentuate the eyes by adding color and making them look bigger, brighter and more beautiful.

Makeup tips every brunette should know
For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. As is the case with brunette girls’ makeup. While I doubt Newton ever worked behind a MAC counter, with every makeup tip I could offer a brunette, there’s a contradictory—yet equally appealing—suggestion. The biggest, most encompassing tip I can give is mix things up. Mix up the colors, mix up the looks, and always always mix up the emphasis. Don’t wear dark eyeshadow and liner in combination with burgundy lips or you’ll risk looking overdone.
Tip #1: You can get away with color. There are some sultry looks lighter haired girls can’t pull off as well as you without toning them down a notch. The traditional, sexy smoky look is much better left to the raven-haired girls, especially when they have dark skin, too. Mixing blacks and grays with nearly excessive amounts of eyeliner and a hint of silver shimmer for a night out looks stunning with the right frame around it and can look even scary with a light hair color attempting to embrace it.
Tip #2: You can get away with bare-faced beauty. You don’t have to use the color recommended above. Flesh tones look just as gorgeous on brunette girls (and are more appropriate for daytime wear unless you work on the set of a soap opera) as the darker, nighttime counterparts. Brunettes with fair skin can choose a light brown with a hint of peach or pink to warm it up, golden shimmer optional, to brighten their faces up without looking like they’re wearing any makeup. A thin line of brown eyeliner on the top lid and a single coat of mascara makes your eyes pop without screaming, “Look at my makeup!†Add a bit of coral-pink blush and some clear lipgloss and you’re done.
Tip #3: Wear color on your lips to avoid looking washed out. A nice medium pink or coral will add color to your cheeks and brighten your eyes. You’ll look more awake, whether your skin’s alabaster or ebony. You can skip every other type of makeup in a crunch, but slick on a lip color.
