Eye Shadow

Eye shadow make up comes in powder form and can be applied with either a sponge tip applicator or an eye shadow brush. Most professional make up artists give tips to use make up brushes to apply eye shadow, which they use in combination with other forms of eye make up, like eyeliner and mascara to accentuate or minimize features. Eye shadow colors do tend to be the most fashion susceptible, so they change frequently, based on fashion, beauty and make up trends.

Darker eye shadow colors can be used to minimize features, while lighter or frosted eye make up colors will tend to accentuate. So if you're looking to bring out deep-set eyes, you'll probably want to use a light or frosted eye shadow, especially in the creases. Likewise, if you have a prominent brow bone that you want to minimize with eye make up, try using a slightly darker shade.

Tip: Eye shadow and eye make up should never be shared, and should be replaced frequently to avoid contamination and bacteria growth.

Make Up For Lips

Make up for lips is one of the most traditional make up product families. Although make up for lips dates back to the days of Cleopatra, Lipstick, Lip Liner and lip gloss didn't reach their current stage of popularity until the 20th century. Lipstick is the most popular and widely known of all make up for lips, but using tips to combine Lipstick, Lip Liner and lip gloss can result in a sexy, complete lip make up look.
