Skin Types

So depending on the type of skin you have there is a specific kind of makeup for you. The type of makeup you use can also be based on your preference of coverage. If you have acne or skin-problems you might need to be prescribed a certain type of makeup or want to use a more gentle formula on your skin so it won't irritate it or cause further acne. If you have oily skin you might want to use something with a more matte finish that is oil free and avoid applying it with your hands so you don't transfer the oil from your hands to your face. If you have dry skin something that is more hydrating and moisturizing would be better for your skin to avoid drying it out further. There are several different skin types and several different options out there you just have to try the out and figure out which you like best and what works for you and your skin type. Now moving on to coverage say you have a few blemishes on your face, or freckles, or even a birth mark, or all of these if you are comfortable with them or like them and you just want to even out your skin tone then there are a few options. A tinted moisturizer could be one it has some color to it its light weight and some of them you can even build up until you get the type of coverage you like and it is better for your skin. There are also other options like a light-medium coverage foundation which is just foundation that doesn't go on as heavy it again evens out skin tone but probably won't be as light or as good for your skin and again some of these can be built up as well. Some people are going for an even lighter feel or more natural look and you can skip the foundation in whole but you might still want to put on something with an SPF all over your face just to protect it from the sun. But in this doesn't mean you don't have to wear any makeup at all (unless up don't want to) you can still put on concealer to hint "conceal" any blemishes or discoloration that are avoiding you for achieving the look you want. If you are looking to give your self a just all over even, smooth, flat, perfect, flawless look then you would definitely want to go with a more heavy-full coverage foundation which would cover any and all blemishes discolorations and smooth your face to the point where everything looks even and the same tone. These foundations however do tend to seem heavier, but there may be some out there that are lighter weight or better for your skin then the typical full coverage foundation. There are so many brands, types, tones and colors to find out whats right for you and which you like you can read reviews or watch videos or just search around and try out different ones.

My blog is about makeup, I picked this topic because it's something I do pretty much everyday and it’s something I enjoy doing it on my free time. Makeup is fun! I don't believe I'm an expert on makeup, however I do enjoy doing it and I do it often. Most free time I have when I get the chance, or extra time I have to get ready I will take advantage of and take my time doing my makeup or will I try something new with my makeup. When I'm with my friends and we are getting ready to go out we all tend to do each others makeup and it’s interesting watching each other and seeing how differently we all do it. We learn things from each other and find out about new and different products we like. When my mom is going out or has a special events to attend she tends to ask me to do her makeup. This goes for my sister as well with any special events she has, just because she's still young and still learning. Some people don't have the time or patience to do something so meticulous or will just slap on their makeup and lets be honest sometimes you can’t really tell the difference, but depending on the look you are going for it can make a big difference. You can go for a soft and stubble look and still have a relatively natural glow or you could go with a crazy pop of color on your lips, or cheeks, or eyes, or you could be going for dark and dramatic look. Its cool because it’s a type of self expression in some form. I also love watching makeup videos it is just so cool to see the difference it can make and also all of the new tips and tricks you can learn. Pictures along with videos can give you an idea of something new you might want to try. Makeup is fun but it can also be a hassle if you wear it all of the time. What you might grasp from this blog is my view point on how I apply makeup. I'm not saying the way I do things are right or you should try and do yours this way. I am just giving you a glimpse into the perspective of how I do it. Don't worry I'm not trying to sell you on the idea of makeup just share with you my experience. Hope you enjoy.
