Getting your makeup to match up with the look that you want can sometimes be a bit overwhelming. Every aspect of makeup may seem to be complicated or confusing at times. Techniques, fashion and “in-colors” change on what seems like a daily basis. Everything from eye makeup to lip color can needs to be considered in order to get the look you want, the look that will allow you to make the best presentation that you can.
One of the most important aspects of makeup is foundation. Foundation refers to powders, liquids and creams that create a smooth skin tone that is the perfect base to build the rest of your makeup scheme on top of. These foundations also help to provide a better surface for the makeup to adhere to. This allows the makeup to last longer and lets you enjoy your look all day and all night.
Another major factor that most women may not know a lot about is eye shadow. The eye area can be a wow maker or a deal breaker for your entire look. Eye shadow can be applied in two basic shapes, winged (which is generally but not always used by younger women) and rounded which is usually reserved for more mature women. The choice of shape is of course a personal one and depends heavily on the skin health and firmness of the woman.
There are three basic forms that eye shadow can be found in, creams (which have a tendency at time to be hard to use but provide stunning results), pencils, and powders. Powders are the most common among women in North America and can often be found in small cases which have four to six colors pre-matched to provide a ready to wear look based on your skin tone.

If you are going to use a gloss or top coat brush it on very gently over the lip color.
