Then dust your lips with powder so that the lipstick lasts for a longer period of time, and then apply the last coat.EyesEye shadow colours should be selected carefully, light shadow is applied on to the lids to create a base. Darker eye shadow is then used at the outer corners of the eyes, to enhance the eyes. A kajal or kohl stick can be used in the inner eyelid to make the eyes appear even more dramatic.

Place your blusher on thecurve of the cheek, slightly away from the nose. Blend well, out and above to the temples. If your face is square and heavy along the jaw line, soften the angles of the jawline by shadowing. Pat on blusher, then blend down across the square part. A soft blending of rouge under the jaw line or chin takes away a heavy drooping effect .Your jaw line can look more clear-cut with this trickfor the evening. To accentuate the cheek bones for evening makeup, use a liquid foundationa shade lighter than usual. Apply it in little dabs on the top of the cheek bones and on to the corners of the nose.

and straight, apply your lipstick from slightly above the line of the upper
lip and slightly below the line of the lower lip. Curve the linesslightly
