Everybody is beautiful in their own way. When that natural beauty is redefined with pencils and brushes, magic happens. Makeup doesn’t mask on as some people perceive. It is a work of art that enhances natural beauty and double up confidence for those at the mercy of it. However, there are numerous ways to explore and pay allegiance to your magnificence as discussed below.
NATURAL MAKEUP: Also known as daily makeup, it gives a bit of definition to the reserved makeup enthusiast who would only want to cover up black spots and acne for a more flawless natural tone. Natural makeup is perfect for daytime and hot weathers because it is light and not loud. You can easily achieve this makeup look with a light base foundation to produce an even tone with setting powder to accentuate the facial features without alarming your natural look.
MATTE MAKEUP: This is a perfect makeup look when you want to look elegant but not loud and bold. It has the ability to enhance your natural beauty but in a tamed subtle shade. Matte makeup is suitable for all weather conditions. It appears to be the most popular makeup look because it fits almost all occasions. You can actually opt for a little drama with false eyelashes with a blend of soft colours on the lips to give a more magnifying effect than natural makeup.
BOLD MAKEUP: Be bold and beautiful anytime every day. Bold makeup has a connection with MATTE. The difference here is that, more emphasis is placed on the eyes. A collection of darker eyeshadow is blended to give out a smokey eye effect. The rule here is to blend and define eyes with shades of black and mauve to create a dark smokey look and shades of brown and grey for a lighter smokey eye. Complete this look with wing eyeliner and long false lashes. You can add more density to the eyes with black mascara. Just be careful not to overdo it. I love this type of makeup because of the sexy powerful attitudinal effect it preaches.

SHIMMER MAKEUP: Just as the name suggests, it is the type of makeup that gives you a sparkling definition of elegance. Personally it is my go to routine make up. It normally gives more exposure because of it metallic shade but who cares, I love to shine. Shimmer makeup is about using products that will give you that flawless sheer butter like kind of shine. This type of makeup can transform a NATURAL OR MATTE MAKEUP look to an extremely magnificent look that defines the entire facial features. It highlights the brow bone, forehead, bridge of the nose, chin, cheek bone, tear drop and around the neck and shoulders depending on the outfit. It takes an extra talented makeup artist to create a magical touch without you turning into a robot. Lol.
NIGHT TIME MAKEUP: Nobody fancies darkness but the galaxy only sparkles at night. I would say night time makeup is the step sister of SHIMMER. It is extra dramatic with an electrifying sexual appeal syndrome. It is a fusion of the all powerful BOLD and SHIMMER MAKEUP. Why fear the dark if you can light your way through it with this type of makeup look. Everything is extra. Your day can be boring but your night shouldn’t be. This makeup might feel a bit heavy but it lasts for hours. It is the type of makeup that completely covers black spots and blemishes, giving you charming flawless effects.
The makeup empire is so broad that everyone got a palace in it. You just need to know about your facial features and how to gratify it with pencils and brushes. There is nothing like too much makeup, you only have to know what works for you and how. That’s the secret and you are good to go.
