HOW TO MATCH YOUR MAKEUP AND YOUR OUTFIT LIKE A PRO

 HOW TO MATCH YOUR MAKEUP AND YOUR OUTFIT LIKE A PRO 
 
Initially  

Growing up, you must have had the experience of finding yourself at a total loss as to wardrobe choices when prepping for certain occasions. Similarly, as an adult, it is common to find oneself in those indecisive situations regarding the choice of makeup, especially when considering how it matches the selected outfit of the occasion.  

 
Understanding what a challenge finding one's way around such situations can pose (quite frustrating indeed!), this piece provides an expert guide to assist in the decision making process leading up to blending makeup choices with event outfits and ultimately helping you achieve that cohesively curated and polished, event-ready appearance that holds the promise of turning heads as well as hearts. 
 
For starters, it must be understood that the task of matching makeup to an outfit goes beyond colours. Although this forms an important consideration, other points of concern, including the type of event in question, the time of day for the event and one's skin tone and undertone equally matter. Having laid this background, here are a few tips to consider. 
 
Balance is the Watchword 
When choosing your make style, always put balance at the back of your mind. For instance, if you're donning a bold, flashy outfit, then you must opt for a toned-down, calmer makeup to complement your general appearance. Again, you must resist the urge to be too matchy-matchy. Let's say you're going for a dominantly red outfit, balance dictates that you refrain from opting for makeup that heavily features red such as lipstick. The goal here is to not overdo things. 
 
Put Your Accessories in the Picture 
Beyond your clothing, you should give room for your belts, shoes, handbags, earrings, necklaces, bracelets, wristbands and wristwatches to have a say as far as blending with your makeup goes. This not only ensures a well-put-together appearance in the end, but also propels your creative prowess into proficiency. 
 
Do Not Overwhelm Your Face 
Three areas make the loudest statements in facial makeup: eyes, cheeks and lips. When trying to match your makeup and your outfit, the idea is to ensure that all three don't come blasting out at once. Therefore, choose one to be the showstopping statement maker while others remain in the background. The last thing you want is to let attention scattered on all three, thereby turning your appearance into a disoriented and clown-looking one. 
 
Consider Your Skin Tone and Undertone  
Your skin remains your first and original outfit. Therefore, before all else, you must consider blending your makeup with your skin tone and undertone. Your foundation especially must be duly considered to avoid a shabby distortion between your face and other parts of your body. 
 
Never Leave Out Confidence 
This is by far the golden rule of general appearance: “No matter what you're wearing, always seal your look with a generous touch of confidence.” The confidence with which you own your style in terms of matching makeup and outfit makes all the difference. When confidence is lacking, a well-matching makeup and outfit appearance loses its light and ultimately fails to make the desired statement. Conversely, the presence of confidence ensures brightness which could turn a not-so-matching makeup and outfit appearance into a new and trendy sensation.

Finally  
While it can be quite a drag getting your makeup to match your outfit, the adoption of certain simple but significant steps could make the process much easier. Beyond addressing questions on event type and time, tips to consider include maintaining a balance on general appearance, putting accessories in the picture, skin tone and undertone considerations and, most importantly, the wonder-working confidence.

FOUR MAKEUP MISTAKES BEGINNERS MUST AVOID

FOUR MAKEUP MISTAKES BEGINNERS MUST AVOID   Like every other artistic endeavour, great makeup requires abiding by certain long-standing practices (most of which are more common than expected).  Ironically, the commonality of these practices accounts for their neglect by many beginners in professional makeup. For the record, failure to observe these practices has nothing to do with skill in the craft.  So while individual artists may possess appreciable skill with respect to the actual application of makeup, that reality may not always translate to client satisfaction in terms of the general outcomes of work done. Ultimately, this is where the line between skill and experience is drawn.    In no particular order, here are four of the common mistakes beginners make in makeup artistry.     1.    Reuse of unwashed brushes - Hygiene ranks among the top considerations when it comes to routines affecting the human body, both internally an...

10 BRIDAL MAKEUP TIPS THAT WILL MAKE YOUR MAKEUP LAST ALL DAY                      1. Start With Proper Skin Preparation   Before applying makeup, cleanse, tone, and moisturize your skin. Well-hydrated skin allows foundation and other products to sit smoothly and last longer.  2. Use a long-lasting primer   Primer helps create a smooth base and controls oil. It also helps your foundation grip better so your makeup stays fresh throughout the wedding day.  3. Choose a Long-Wear Foundation   Select a long-lasting, transfer-resistant foundation that suits your skin type. Brides with oily skin should opt for oil-free or matte formulas to prevent shine.  4. Apply Thin Layers of Makeup   Instead of heavy layers, build your makeup gradually. Thin layers look more natural and stay intact longer without cracking or creasing.  5. Set Cream Products With Powder   After applying cream products like fo...
