Makeup dos: do whatever you like
Makeup don’ts: don’t do whatever they tell you to do just because they said it.
Do it if you like it.
Yasssssss. If you want to wear a specific color or type of makeup go for it. A lot
of women say I can’t wear that color or I don’t know how to apply makeup. You
don’t need to be a professional to take your everyday appearance to the next
level. A lot of people say that women of darker skin tones or with different eye
colors should only stick to a certain area of colors and avoid the latter. Call me
naïve but I do not want to believe this. It is a suggestion that may or may not
complement you but it is not in the makeup law book. Yes, you can wear that
neon yellow eye shadow with gold specks. Why? Because you said so. How?
Here is how. That color maybe too much for even the girl it was intended for. So
my makeup rebellious tip for you is to use that color but use a light hand. Build
up the look. Add and add until it is just right and personalized for you. You will
know when you have gone just too far... it will be the moment you start to feel
extremely uncomfortable and we have all been there.
Think of makeup like this: Makeup is art. Makeup is your paint, makeup brushes
are your tools and your face is your canvas. You do know how to apply makeup
because there are no mistakes in art.......wait I know you’re thinking that so and
so wearing that feather lashes with glue chunks throughout was definitely an
mistake in artwork, but not everyone likes Picasso. If you still insist you don’t have
the know-how get on YouTube and watch a few videos. There is one technique
you MUST learn and that is the art of blending. Blending can save your look 98.5
percent of the time. I want to encourage you to wear what you like and do what
you feel. It is all about developing your style and a trend for you. Yes makeup too
is a part of your style just like your clothes, shoes, accessories and hair styles. But
don’t forget that there is a time and a place for certain makeup looks. I say this so
that you factor in the professionalism of your job.
A bonus tip: if you want to try that outlandish color discreetly blend it with
another more complimentary color. Or you can use it on the inner corners and/or
lower lash lines for added pop. Whatever you do own it completely. Add a smile
and don’t forget to stay pretty.
