Why you should blend your makeup

Todays blog is all about Why you should blend your makeup

 You may be asking Why you should blend your makeup

Ok so you probably have heard the statement you should blend your eye shadow but  not really understand why. Today we are going to be explaining Why you should blend your makeup
Make up that has not been blended properly will not stay in place and will smudge and come off easier. It also does not look great especially in photo’s and up close. You may be one of the thousands of people who don’t realise the importance of blending  you make  up properly, the reason movie stars and pop stars look so glamorous is because they have some  one to do it for them who are skilled at just that, that doesn’t mean you need to go to college to learn how to do it as it  is fairly simple. 

Face

When applying your foundation unless you want to look like you are wearing a mask it is important to start from the base of the neck and work up moving from one side of the face  to the other blend you foundation blend round the ears and the hair line making sure no lines are visible , pay particular attention around the nose and eyes. If you are young contouring agin make sure the  areas  are seamless.
Eyes
Blending in eye shadow  is not quite as straight forward as all eye shapes are different,  so there are certain ways to blend eye shadow that are specific to each eye shape For instance, if you have deep set eyes, blending a darker coloured shadow into  the crease is not ideal. As this will only highlight how deep your eyes are. Stick to lighter, more natural-looking coloured shadows, especially under the  eye brow. If you have almond shaped eyes, blending the  eye  shadow in the crease is alright, but don’t blend it higher than then natural fold. Tis will ensure your makeup looks seamless, not exaggerated. When blending your eye shadow in  use a good quality makeup blending brush  using small outward circular moves keep going until you can not see any lines  and all the colours and edges are seamless.
Type and Texture
When it comes to eye shadows   as there are lots types of finishes and textures. From frosty and sparkly, to matte and cream, there are specific blending techniques for each. If your eye shadow has a frosty finish, limit it to the lid only and blend with a flat shadow brush for more impact. If it’s sparkly, blend in the crease only. For cream eye shadow you can be more liberal with the blending, especially if the shade  is a natural one. Blend with your finger starting on the lid, all the way up the brow bone.
So now you know  how and Why you should blend your makeup
