BEAUTY TIPS
Beauty guru , Abisola Ogunkanbi says that it all starts when you ’ re choosing your palettes . If you ’ re not 100 % positive of the shade , tone , and temperature of your skin , it ’ s always best to meet with a consultant to help you better understand them . Once you ’ ve nailed your natural skin tone , you ’ re ready to play with creating definition . When you ’ re creating definition , find shades that are only slightly lighter and darker than your natural skin tone to make blending easy and to make your makeup look as natural as possible . Next you ’ re going to pick shadows , lip colors , bronzers , and highlighters . The best rule of thumb when you ’ re going for a natural , effortless look is picking monochromatic colors . This might mean that the color of your lips is the same shade as your highlighter , or your eyeshadow is the same shade as your bronzer .
Finally , enhance your natural features . The key word in this beauty tip is natural . If you have thin eyebrows , drawing them two inches bigger is not fooling anyone , no matter how on fleek they are . Start by picking out the feature you love the most about your face . If you adore your high cheekbones and cupid ' s bow , start by highlighting them . If you love your dark eyes and round face , accentuate them . Learning to love your facial features is a crucial step to becoming confident in yourself and making this natural makeup look your own . So next time you pop into a meeting or swing by a get-together you ’ ll look and feel like a million bucks !
