A Sweet Burden-Make Up |
|
“Angie, where are you going?” “I’m going downstairs to throw out the trash” “But why? You make up for that?” Ladies and gentlemen, don’t laugh at me! It was truly my behavior. Since 15 years ago, worked in Lancôme cosmetics, I got used to having make-up, so did most of my colleagues. Amy was one of them, Of course, Amy was definitely a beauty, still she was so good at make-up, and no one had seen her without make-up. Once upon the time, she met her Mr. Right and had been seeing with him for couple weeks. Since they felt interested in each other, he decided to know more about her by a hiking. In an early morning, the Mr. Right came to the downstairs of her place waiting for her. For the hiking, Amy had to decide not to make up. Yet it turned out that the poor Mr. Right couldn’t recognize her at first.
Do you think that make-up is a burden to women? Look at the chart. Find out how many things to do for a facial make-up.
1. Foundation 粉底- You can use foundation cream粉底霜+ powder蜜粉 or simply use UV cake兩用粉餅 2. Eyebrow 眉毛- the color of eyebrow pencil is better close to your hair’s color. 3. Eye shadow 眼影- choosing the colors suits your clothes. 4. Eyeliner 眼線- drawing top liner could pull up the shape of eyes 5. mascara 睫毛膏 – according to reports, our eyelids blink around 10 thousands times a day, long and thick eye lashes efficiently get the attention. 6. Lipstick+ Gloss oil脣膏+唇彩- natural shape and gloss oil are fit for now. 7. Brush 腮紅、修容- for fixing facial shape or if you look too pale. 8. Polishing打亮粉 use some shining power to 3D our faces.
Some people asked “How can I make foundation more natural?” Good question! The two key points: one: apply foundation in quick speed, the quicker, the thinner foundation is. Two: after foundation, use your bare hands to press face slightly. “How to choose the proper make-up for myself?” Do it according to fashion and occasion, but most important is based on your individual and what you want to achieve. For example, individual, if you love your sexy lips most, then do more works on them. My principle is “Emphasize your good points, ignore the weak ones.” If skin has some spots, ignore them, don’t try to cover too much, work on other parts that you are proud of. In general, lovely colors and goo-goo eyes are for a date. Take a look at my left side of face, I make the eyebrow, eye shadow more rounded, and brush as well. Neutral colors (中性色彩) are better at work. The right side might looks more serious and capable. For that, the eyebrow, shadow and brush have angles.
“Every time I use mascara, it always dyes out, that makes me like panda. It does really cheese me off!” Yes, imagine this; a Mr. Charming walks toward you, while your heartbeats go faster, he said” Lady, eh~, you got something black on your face near eyes.” Gee, such an egg-on-the-face situation. In any big occasion, choose waterproof mascara, no matter how difficult it moves away. In ordinary days, use brown colored mascara, then use cotton bud move the extra mascara away.
Anyway, let me continue my friend Amy’s story. Since Mr. Right had looked her plain face, he started to find out her beauty inside. So, now they are still happy together no matter Amy with or without make-up. Our devoted Cathy asked “why do women need to make up?” Actually, I think it’s just as why Allan use humor. Humor and cosmetics bring confidence. And confidence is the best make up for women. Some people said humor and make-up both make people more social acceptable, I don’t know what you think about it. But “Before the Mr. Right was attracted by Amy’s inner beauty, he fell in love with her pretty face first”. Toastmaster.
