Makeup is more than just beauty products

Several studies show that makeup does something extra for you and your confidence. Most often, it does not make up for itself, but the more principle of doing something extra by itself, giving women an extra confidence boost and who could not use it?

Makeup also make much for one's appearance and radiance in everyday life. Do you have something you want to hide, there may be some small unwanted impurities, or dark tears under your eyes, so makeup is your friend.

Contouring

Something that is very much focused on is contouring and there is nothing to say to that. You can get a different expression if you do it right.

When you make contouring, apply both light and dark powder to highlight or retract your features. The places you use a dark colour will be retracted if you apply a light powder just above. Typically, you would like to emphasize its cheekbone, and therefore you put the dark line underneath and light on the cheekbone itself.

Having said that, there are many different facial shapes, so there are of course many different ways to make contours.

It's not easy, but are you good at it, you can easily cheat on some more prominent features that you do not own from nature.

You can use several different products to make contouring, including bronzer (sunshine powder), blush (rouge), highlighter, light powder, dark powder, foundation and concealer.

You can set your makeup with a setting spray, which gives you a fresh look that lasts all day.

What brushes should I use?

When applying makeup, always be aware of using the correct brushes or sponges. It really makes a big difference, depending on what result you want to achieve.

If you put powder on the whole face, it's a good idea to use a large brush so you can get it as natural as possible.

We have a large selection of brushes and makeup sponges so you can find exactly the tool that suits you best.
