10 Secret Backstage Make up Tips:

Applying your foundation the right way can make your skin look younger and natural.

• Apply foundation on the centre of your face
• Next, blend it outwards
• Make sure you keep blending with feather strokes, dabbing lightly.
• Select a pink-based concealer to brighten up the face.

2. Natural Looking Healthy Glowing Skin: 

Makeup can surely give your skin the illusion of looking healthier and having that all natural glow to it.

• For natural glowing skin that does not look too shiny overall, apply shimmer only on the cheekbones
• Also dab a bit at the inner corners of your eyes.
• The trick is to make your skin look healthy and glowing, not oily.

3. Wearing Dark Lipstick Perfectly: 

Wearing a dark lipstick is always tricky, and most of us end up wearing it the wrong way, making us look more mature than our age.

• If you’re going to wear a dark lipstick, avoid using a lip liner.
• Instead, apply your lip colour with a brush
• Use the brush along the edges of your lips, where you would have used the liner.
• After application, blot it out to give it a stain-like look.

4. Wearing The Classic Red Lips: 

Red lips always look classy and high fashion, but it is important to get the look right.

• For the classic red lips look, apply concealer around your lip line
• Next, lightly colour your lips with two shades of rich red.
• On the center of the lips, apply a darker red and on the outside, a medium red.

5. Matching The Rest of Your Face With a Smokey Eye Look: 

Smokey eye is surely one of the most glamorous makeup trends that you see on the runway.

• If you’re going for the smokey eye look, you need to match the rest of your makeup around it.
• Keep the makeup on the rest of your face natural. This will help all the focus to be on your eyes.
• Keep the makeup matte and go for a nude lip colour.

6. Wearing Matte Makeup That Does Not Frequent Re-touching: 

Sometimes, touching up your makeup can be quite difficult, as you may not get the chance to slip out and fix it. Matte makeup comes in handy for days like these.

• Applying matte makeup is a good idea if you don’t want to constantly touch up your makeup.
• Cream-based makeups need more re-touching because they settle in the crease of the skin.

7. Creating The Nude or Pale Lips Look: 

Nude lips are a rage, but if you don’t know how to do it right, it can make you look washed out!

• If you want to get a nude or pastel or pale look on your lips, your bright blush may come in handy!
• Apply your bright cream blush on your lips
• Next, blend it with a nude shade lip lining pencil to get a lighter lip shade.

8. Statement Eye Lashes: 

Creating the right look on your eye lash will speak a lot for the entire face.

• For gorgeous eye lashes in an instant, curl your lashes with your eye lash curler.
• Next, add two coats of volumising mascara from the roots upward.

9. The Perfect Shade of Coral: 

You can create your very own coral lip shade if the ones you see in stores do not match your skin tone.

• To make your own bright shade of coral lips, mix your orange and red lipstick for a bright coral twist!
• Or you can also try ombre lips, which is very much in vogue. This is the trend of wearing two shades of lip colours together, making sure there is a definite distinction and both can be seen separately.

10. Make Your Chapped Lips Look Gorgeous: 

We all get chapped lips, but that should not stop you from looking gorgeous, right?

• If you’ve got chapped lips, apply a coat of lip balm and let it rest for a while.
• Now mix some of the lip balm with your lipstick and pat it on the lips with your finger.
• Let it slowly get absorbed in the lips.
• Keep patting till the colour is properly blended.

These simple tips and tricks are used regularly by professionals to create the gorgeous looks we see on the ramp.
