Question about foundation and blush!?

I havent been wearing makeup for very long so cut me some slack, im still learning!!


Anyways, the foundation I use matches my skin which I like but sometimes in certain lights it makes my skin look shiny and I hate that. Ive never used blush before so wondering exactly what it is and if you are suppose to use it over foundation? Would that fix the shininess problem?





Again I know this seems dumb to some of you but I honestly have had no experience with makeup and still learning all the tricks.

I recommend using Bare Minerals. Use the foundations with Warmth (blush). It makes your skin look flawless :)
foundation shouldnt make your skin look shiny


but often it's just the light


wear liquid concealer underneath powder foundation


or just powder foundation.


liquid foundation is good as a concealer,


but often it looks really dark if you dont rub it in well


and it looks EXTREMELY fake


if you're going for natural


i would suggest a powder foundation that:


matches your skin [if youre tan or darkskinned]


is a little more tan than your skin [if youre pale or fair]


use the color or skin on the underside of your wrist...that's your natural skin color.





dont get extremely pink blush...it looks very fake


get something light pink


and put it on in moderation





if youve ever been out in the cold


youve probly noticed it makes peoples cheeks rosy


thats what blush does basically


but dont make yourself too red


it'll look stupid.


if you smile while putting on blush, it helps a lot,


smiling bring out the apples of your cheeks and that's the bst place to apply blush.





make the makeup look natural and dont go too overboard on the eyeliner. curl eyelashes in the middle so they don't look creepy, and for gods sake use mascara that doesnt clump. powder foundation is better than liquid for a natural look, and don't overdo the makeup just because you're new to it. makeup is to ENHANCE beauty, not create it.
I use a liquid foundation - Estee Lauder double wear, it goes on matte,it really is a brilliant foundation...if you find that it is still shiney get a light powder to put onto your face during the day. You should try out different foundations to find out the best one for your skin.





you do wear blusher over your foundation, you can use many different colours, i love peach blusher-it goes well with my dark complexion-i apply it with a benefit slant brush (for applying blusher and bronzer) on my cheek bones, and i brush a small amount of bronzer over the blusher then!





try that ! hope you like it....
What blush is meant to do is add a little color and shimmer to your face. hope this helped ya.
after you apply your foundation sweep some translucent powder on your face it sets the foundation and keeps your face from getting shiny.


(pressed powder and clog pores and sometime has oil in it so i wouldn't recommend pressed powder)





hope i helped
Yes, foundation is what you put on first before anything else. That's why it's called the ';foundation,'; as in the base of everything else. If it makes your skin look shiny, you should try 1) using a powder base of the same color OVER the shiny parts of the foundation or 2) use ONLY powder based foundation.





Blush:


When you are embarrassed or angry, more blood flows through your face, making some parts of your face pink-tinted. Most people look very pretty with this, so that's what blush is for. It goes on over foundation and only on the parts where natural color would appear, like near the cheekbones.





It's not dumb, don't worry. I thought I knew a lot about make up until I went to modeling school and proved myself wrong!
after your foundation you put on powder to take care of the shine and you can opt to apply blush just on the apples of your cheek. it takes some practice but you'll notice the difference and carry you powder with you in the case that you need to touch up from time to time
to stop your face from getting shiny, use a pressed powder on top of your foundation, get one that is the same as your skin tone. the powder will absorb all the oil that makes your face shiny/oily. it also helps your foundation stay on longer. try a pressed powder from Mac. if you can't afford that, get one from covergirl or physicians formula.





blush is just used around your cheeks to make your face look healthy%26amp;glowing =]
try Bare Minerals - they often have stores in major malls and will help you apply the makeup and select the colors that suit you best. The makeup is wonderful and there are so many blush colors that will just add a bit of color. They also have a product called Mineral Veil that goes on after you've put your makeup on to finish off your look.





It's great stuff!
