Myth: MAC Cosmetics are the best makeup brands out there:
This one is a common misconception amongst beauty enthusiasts. Many people believe that only MAC Cosmetics can produce high-quality makeup products. However, there are other great makeup brands out there such as Maybelline and L’Oréal Paris that can also provide amazing results when used correctly. It’s important to do your research before making any purchases so that you can find the best products for your needs.
History of Makeup:
Makeup has been around since ancient Egyptians painted their faces. The use of makeup to enhance one’s natural features is a practice that dates back centuries. One of the first civilizations to mention cosmetics was the Greeks and Romans. They believed that wearing makeup made you look more attractive and young. Wealthy women even used face paint to disguise their appearance.
The first time a face powder was mentioned was in the 1st century AD. A woman by the name of Antinous wrote about using face powder to set makeup and achieve a more youthful appearance. Middle Eastern ladies started using white make-up in the 6th century to make themselves look fair when marrying outside their race. During the renaissance, women started covering their faces with layers of foundation, blush, and eye shadow to create a characterful look. This fashion trend quickly spread to Europe.
Types of Makeup:
There are many types of makeup, including theatrical, which is designed for use in theatre or film production. This type of makeup includes prosthetic coverings, such as masks and false eyelashes.
There is also special effects makeup, which is used to create a specific look on movie and TV sets. This type of makeup includes prosthetic pieces, such as ears and noses, and ashes and dust that can be applied to the face to create a specific appearance.
There are also everyday cosmetics, which is what you might use on a daily basis. This type of makeup includes powders, blushes and other creamy products.
How to Apply Makeup Properly and Inexpensively:
There are many ways to improperly apply makeup. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced wearer, there are a few key steps you can take to achieve the perfect makeup look. Follow these simple tips, and you’ll be applying your makeup like a pro in no time!
- Start with a clean face. Makeup applies better when your skin is free of oils and other residues. Remove any prior skin treatments such as moisturizers, sunscreens, or primer with warm water and mild soap.
- Prime your face. Using a light foundation or Concealer, fill in any blemishes or imperfections on your skin before applying your Makeup Comprehensive Base Makeup Kit (sold separately). This will help the makeup adhere more evenly and look more natural.
- Apply Heavy Makeup Using Small Applicators. Apply heavier makeup using smaller applicators such as brushes or sponges to avoid rubbing the product into your skin too harshly. Instead, pat the makeup onto your face instead of rubbing it in. This will help distribute the product evenly and avoid any creases or lines that may form under the heavy application of makeup.
