Tips for Correcting Face Faults

By using color carefully, you can do a great deal towards correcting any facial irregularities. Your palette is the whole beige to brown spectrum, taking in everything from very pale to quite dark shades & including all sorts of consistencies: tinted moisturizer, foundation, powder, sticks of concealer make-up, specialist camouflage preparation , face blushers, shades & highlighters, & eye shadows. The golden rule is this: any part of your face you want to make smaller make darker; anything you want to emphasis, make lighter.

For Bags Under the Eyes:

Use a foundation one shade darker than the foundation you are using all over your face & brush it precisely on the bag, in a thin line; it should be crescent-shaped.

Tips For Dark Rings Under Eye:

Use a pale make- up concealer stick or foundation one shade paler than the one you are applying elsewhere. Alternatively, a white or cream eye shadow highlighter, which is too pale to be worn on its own here, is effective when applied under foundation.

Tips for Noses of All Shapes and Sizes:

Slim a nose by putting dark foundation down the sides, blending will at the edges. Make a nose look straighter by applying a light line down the centre; use foundation or pale concealer stick & blend well. Shorten a nose by putting dark foundation right under the tip & blending in will.

For Nose to Mouth Lines:

Use a light make-up concealer stick. Transfer the product onto a brush & trace a fine line along the groove; this is the same technique as the one used for bags under the eyes.

For the Mouth that Sags at the Corner:

Use a brush to apply a touch of light concealer stick to the area.

FOR FRECKLES:

The right foundation is help full if you want to hide freckles. Choose a shade that is a little darker than your skin tone & a little lighter than your freckles. Follow it with pressed powder in the shade closest to your skin tone. If you have some particularly giant freckles you can cover them up with an opaque make-up.

Freckles are intensified by the pigmentation which comes for the sun & certain climatic conditions. In summer, when you are probably leaving off make-up anyway, you might prefer to even out the freckle areas – especially on the cheeks – by fluffing on a tawny face shadier which merges will with freckle patterns.

FOR MORE SERIOUS SKIN BLEMISHES & SCARS:

Use special masking & toning creams which help camouflage. These are of a more dense texture & are more heavily pigmented than ordinary make-up. If they are applied carefully, in the right combination of shades, these cosmetics are practically indistinguishable on the skin.

FOR HIGH COLORING:

Apply a beige-toned foundation then set with loss powder; this should provide sufficient camouflage. High coloring is usually concentrated on the cheeks & around the nostrils. It stems from tiny cracks just beneath the surface of the in to which traces of blood can escape. Fine sensitive skins are particularly prone to these thread veins. If the condition is quite serious & foundation & powder does not provide effective cover, consider a tinted moisturizer with a slight green cast to counteract the floridity; you can then go on to apply foundation & powder as usual.

For Moles:

Make up your mind whether you are going to tone down the odd mole with special masking make-up or make the most of it as a beauty spot.
