How to Apply Light Makeup for Fall

Effortless, great looking makeup for fall is something every woman can achieve with simple methods. This article will teach you how to apply suitable, light make up that works well for the fall season.

Steps

1

Use a moisturizer. If you are applying makeup in the morning, your face can be dry after sleeping. Moisturizer protects the skin for the day and will give your skin a renewed and soft look. Do this before anything else.

2

Use a mirror with the proper light. Find a room where the lighting does not make your face appear too pale or tan. Poor lighting can lead to putting too much of a darker or a lighter color than works for your complexion and tones. This can make your skin color seem pallid or overdone.

3

Apply blush. Use just enough to make your whole face the same color, and to bring out the cheeks so they look naturally rosy. This will give your appearance a fresh and healthy appeal.

4

Use brown or black eyeliner. Apply the eyeliner to the under part of your eye. It becomes too noticeable and penetrating when applied to the top of the eye.

5

Add eyeshadow. Use a brown, gold, or a slightly reddish-orange eyeshadow. These colors pick up the fall color themes and are pleasantly muted without being too pale. Only apply the eyeshadow on the lower area of your eyelids, or again, it risks looking too overdone.

If you do feel like experimenting though, try applying a thin layer of eyeshadow in and over the globe line. Check closely and from a distance in the mirror to appraise its enhancing value for your complexion before deciding to keep it or not.

6

Add the lipstick and lip gloss (if using). Apply a thin layer of a quality, natural or earthy lipstick or lip gloss.

Applying too much gloss can make your lips stand out more than needed, which is not appealing.

Apply a darker color to the lips if your eyeshadow is light, and a lighter color to the lips if the eyeshadow is slightly heavy. This creates a pleasant and balanced contrast.

7

Add the mascara and eyeliner. Brown is a good color to use for the fall season, but black can do as well. Apply a thin layer of eyeliner in the wet area under your eyes, and the corners if you prefer. Apply mascara as you normally like it. Your makeup look for fall is now complete––simple, elegant and neither understated nor overstated.

How to Apply Corpsepaint

Corpsepaint, not to be confused with zombie makeup, dead makeup, or Goth makeup, is a makeup style favored by black metal bands. It was originated by the vocalist of Mayhem, Per "Dead" Ohlin, who wanted to look like a corpse on stage. To apply corpsepaint, follow these directions.

Steps

1

Apply a thin layer of white base on your face. Make sure you use enough to make your face at least several shades lighter, but not enough so that you look like a geisha or a clown. Generally, it's a good idea to include your jaw line and neck unless you want a "mask" or "floating face" effect.

2

Apply white or translucent powder over the white base (optional). Though this step can be skipped, it will help keep the white base from smudging/melting off your face or into the rest of the color.

For extra hold, repeat Steps 1 and 2 until a mask-like effect is achieved.

3

Liberally apply either dark blue/purple/black eyeshadow around your eyes. There should be enough to cover the entire space between your eyebrow and eyelash. Apply a reasonable amount beneath your eye.

Instead of simply applying it so that it contours to your eye socket, try going for a spider-webbed, stitched, shattered, dripping, or vine-y effect.

4

Apply a wide layer of black eyeliner around your eyes. This helps to bring out the eye shadow and your natural eyebrows.

5

Apply dark lipstick if desired. Match the colour to what’s around your eyes for a more cohesive effect. Again, consider creating a secondary effect such as stitching or dripping instead of simply drawing perfect lines.

How to Wear Makeup at 40 and Over

As a professional makeup artist I get to meet and work with women of all ages. The one thing I notice is the need for 40+ women to update their makeup looks and learn to apply age appropriate makeup. What worked for you in your 20's and 30's often times will not work for you in your 40+ years. Here are my 10 tips for updating your makeup look.

Steps

1

Use less. Less is more as you age so it’s important to use less product on your face. Try using half the amount of foundation you usually do or try mixing your foundation with your favourite moisturizer for a sheerer, more modern look. Be sure and blend your foundation right down your neck so that you look as if you’re wearing no makeup at all

2

Try using foundations that are moisturizing and non drying. As you mature your skin requires more moisture and using a foundation rich in moisture will help you look soft and beautiful

3

When using concealers, use a very small amount and blend well so that the product does not sit right into your lines and wrinkles

4

Take a look at your makeup bag and toss out or give your daughter or granddaughter any eyeshadows that have shimmer, frost or glitter in them. These products look great only on young plump skin but for 40+ skin they get into your fine lines and wrinkles and accentuate them. Instead look into purchasing matte eyeshadows in soft natural colours.

5

Change your lipstick colour. Many women continue to use the same lipstick that looked great on them 20 years ago when most often the colour is no longer suitable for their lip size and skin tone. Opt for colours that brighten your face and compliment your makeup look

6

Learn how to re-apply your makeup every decade. Just as it’s important to initially learn how to apply makeup when you’re a teenager, re-learning the right technique for your age range is vital in looking and feeling age appropriate at all times

7

Be sure and use mascara on all your eyelashes even the little ones as this creates a more youthful look. But don’t overdo it. Purchase mascara in brown or black-brown and stay away from coloured mascara’s. These are great for 20 year olds but not appropriate for 40+. One or two coats of mascara should be enough to create an opened eye effect

8

Watch the amount of eyeliner you use. Eyeliner is a great asset to your makeup routine however too much of anything isn’t good! Use soft kohl pencils that blend easily and create softer more natural looks

9

Blend, blend, blend. It’s important to create a natural look and blending is the key. Use professional brushes and soft sponges to create seamless makeup looks

10

Find blushes that add a youthful glow to your skin with peach or pink undertones. Stay away from blushes with too much frost as these age your skin. Opt for matte blushes and blend well.
