Makeup, today, is not merely a bundle of creams and colours… makeup has a responsibility towards you. A responsibility that goes beyond simply enhancing your beauty, a responsibility to give you the look that you have always desired for yourself!

Makeup as worked wonders for people, men included. It has the power to make a 20 year old, the mother of two generations (for evidence kindly refer to any of the saas-bahu tales on the small screen. It also has the potential to make a 40-year old look like a girl next door (the big screen has more examples of the same)

You are no different! Makeup can do wonders for you in the same way as it does to professionals and models! You too can use this magic to give yourself the seamlessly beautiful look that you have desired for so long!

Be it skin disorders, burn and injury marks, uneven skin tone or severe pigmentation, makeup done skilfully can transform all this into an even, smooth and natural skin tone. Here are a few things that you need to keep in mind as you use the magic to conceal the flaws:

Oil based foundation and concealers are best for you if your wish to cover burn marks or excessive facial hair as these provide a thick and lasting coverage. But if you have acne, no form of oil is good for you. You need to consider oil-free or water-based products, though they may not stay as long as the oil based ones do.

To tone down the extra-shine effect that the oil based concealers give you, lightly pat the region with a loose transparent facial powder that absorbs oil.

Pick the Right Cosmetic
It is of utmost importance to pick the right products and tools of application. This will include a set of soft makeup brushes for eye shadow application; an eyeliner, blush and powder makeup.

Be Cautious
If you are suffering from any kind of skin flaws due to infection, you need to be extra cautious with the applicators. Make sure that their use is restricted only to the areas they are intended for. These precautions will minimize the spread of infections, such as acne, on your clear skin areas.

Clean Regularly
Make up brushes need to be cleaned regularly with either a gentle shampoo or a special brush cleanser. You may also use disposable applicators whenever possible. This will not only help you stop infections from spreading, but will also greatly help you apply your makeup smoothly.
