Make up Sets

Basic steps  for get a set makeup
Exfoliation
Apply an exfoliating face pack over the whole face, not forgetting the neck, and avoiding the eye and lip areas (Follow the product-specific instructions), later remove the face pack with water and pat the face dry, without rubbing.
Moisturizing
First apply a moisturizing tonic if your skin is dry or normal, and a descaling cleansing tonic if your skin is combination or greasy. Apply it over totally dry skin with a cotton pad in small touches without spreading it, so as not to irritate the skin.

Apply eye contour treatment if you need it, or if you normally use it. apply a moisturizing serum for your skin-type (this is normally sold in ampul at the chemist’s).

THE KEY STEP: The most important step here is the exfoliation, as skin normally appears dull and lifeless when there are dead skin cells that need removing.

A trick for correcting acne, eye rings and skin blemishes.

Eye rings
Apply foundation the way you normally would (foundation should be liquid or in a cream texture) once you are done, apply the foundation with a synthetic-hair brush, once again on the eye ring region.

An easy guide to knowing what skin-type you have
These are the most common skin types; pay attention to the characteristics of each, and identify your skin type.

DRY SKIN

The skin feels dry and tight.  dry skin normally has a soft aspect, with small pores.

To keep this skin soft and smooth, you need highly moisturising products, products with nutrients, moisturizing face packs and eye contour treatment for day and night.

NORMAL SKIN
Normal skin is neither greasy nor dry, and tends not to have zits. The skin is perfect and appears fresh and smooth.  People with this skin-type should use products specially for normal-to-sensitive skin in order to maintain this type of skin. They should avoid products that contain alcohol.

COMBINATION SKIN

Combination skin has a greasy area: the T zone, and is normal over the cheeks and neck. Moisturising a lot, and avoid drying the skin, putting a particular emphasis on cleanliness.

GREASY SKIN
Greasy skin tends to appear dull, and have blackheads. This skin is constantly producing grease. Greasy skin keeps young for longer. This skin type should be treated with specific, oil-free products but that should be sufficiently moisturising. Besides this, cleansing should be done with cleansing face packs, together with other products for greasy-skin care. Skin often feels dry and gets irritated very easily. Perfumed products and soaps can irritate this type of skin. Even products specially designed for sensitive skin can cause inflammation. Sensitive skin is most common among blonde or red-haired people.

Recommended products for this skin-type are gentle and very moisturising ones. Avoid very perfumed products or those that contain alcohol.

Applying eye pencil
This step is a perfect trick if you have few eyelashes or want to make them look thicker than they are.

Applying mascara
This is an indispensable step in make-up. Apply the mascara in zigzag fashion, then apply the mascara on the upper lashes, firstly downwards, then upwards.

Applying lipstick
Although this is basic daytime makeup, I recommend not to forget the lips.
