Everyday makeup application can be quick and fabulous if you know which essential tools you need to get the job done.

Perfect makeup application is only a few tools away.

Powder brush: A good powder brush is will have a full head of bristles shaped into a round dome. A powder brush has no tapering to its head.

Blush brush: A blush brush is a large round makeup brush with soft and fluffy bristles that are slightly tapered.

The key to choosing the perfect make-up to enhance your natural beauty is to find the best shades for your skin tone.

With so many products available for so many millions of women, it would make sense that choosing the right make-up color would be easy. However, this is not the case. Instead, we repeatedly buy foundations, eye shadows, and lipsticks that looked great in the store but dreadful on our faces.

Work and play have very different aspects to them. The same holds true when applying make-up for the different events. Generally for work you will use colors that are more neutral, like subtle colors and earth tones. This gives you a professional look and gives an aire of confidence to those you come in contact with. Most of the time if a person wears loud colors in a professional environment, everyone seems to not take that person seriously. Now let’s get to the particulars.

When it’s hot and humid, lots of make-up just won’t do. So take the carefree, minimalist route. Scale down your normal beauty routine to just the basics.

Go ahead and dump out the contents of your make-up bag and set aside these must-haves: neutral eyeshadow, waterproof mascara, cheek stain and fruity lip gloss. These are your tools to a clean, hassle-free face that won’t clog your pores or smudge your skin.
