Types of Make-Up

These days, both men and women are enjoying the liberty of getting to wear make up on an everyday basis. However, not everyone is actually aware of the fact that there are different types of make up available. All of which were specifically designed to highlight a particular area of our face. To help you get acquainted, here’s a quick overview:

Lipstick – one of the most commonly used make up types. This is intended to be used on the lips in order to add color as well as texture. There are also certain varieties of it that have chemicals in it that would make our lips appear plumper than usual without the need for expensive collagen injections.

Foundation – considered as the base, it is applied on our face to even out our skin tone and give it a smooth, velvety feel. It comes in a variety of colors as well as coverage types. So whether you’re looking for something thick or sheer in terms of coverage, you would be able to find something that suits your needs.

Blush – also referred to as rouge, this is used on our cheekbones in order to add more color. Typically, it is made of talcum or powder but there are variations today that come in either gel or cream form.

Eye shadow – this serves the same purpose as the blush but is applied on the eyelids and under our eyebrows instead. It draws more attention to that particular area and is used to create depth and dimension.

Mascara – this goes right on our eyelashes in order to make them appear fuller, thicker, darker and longer. The different variations of this can come in either liquid or cream form and is applied with the use of a mascara wand.

Eyeliner – this appears in the form of a thin pencil with kohl inside. It is often used together with the eye shadow in order to further define the eyes and give it more depth. These commonly come in either black or brown but one would also be able to find them in lighter and more colorful hues.
