      Many brands of cosmetics offer a finishing spray. Finishing sprays are a simple liquid spray that will set your makeup and give it a smooth and matte appearance.

      Chapter 2- Makeup Application- The Importance of Knowing Skin Type

      Whether you have been wearing makeup for years or you are just getting acquainted with various products, you probably have a sense that there are some "rules" you should follow. While makeup is definitely a creative domain, you absolute need to know about your skin type before you purchase products. Here are some of the reasons why.

       Oily Skin

      This is the perfect place to start because it presents an issue that so many people deal with on a regular basis. When you have oily skin, you are probably prone to breakouts. By putting certain types of makeup on your face, you are increasing the chances for even more issues with acne. Some say you cannot wear makeup at all because the products will not allow your skin to breathe. Fortunately, this is not true. Many brands make products that are specifically designed for individuals who have oily skin.

       Dry Skin

      On the other end of the spectrum, we have individuals who tend to experience an array of issues with dry skin. Just as makeup can make oily skin oilier, makeup can also make dry skin drier. First, you need to choose products that are designed for people who have dry skin. However, you also need to be sure you are moisturizing. You can still get acne with dry skin, so do not go overboard with the moisturizing products. Instead, choose one that is designed for the face and apply it once or twice per day. With dry skin, twice is usually better.

       Combination Skin

      Ah, so you are one of the lucky ones! Or so you think. When you have combination skin, you might not think it matters which type of makeup you use since your skin is a perfect blend of both. Although it might be a blend, you can still experience some problems. For example, let's say that you purchase products that are intended for people with oily skin. Since you are now going too far in one direction, you may actually end up with drier skin. Look for products that are specifically designed for individuals with combination skin.

       Skin Type: The Color Subset

      When we are discussing skin type, terms such as "oily," "dry" and "combination" is very important. However, please remember that color is part of your skin type as well. Choosing the wrong color for certain makeup items, especially for foundation and loose powder, can be disastrous. If you opt for a shade that is too light, you may not have any coverage for the imperfections on your skin at all. Shades that are too dark are equally as problematic as they can make your skin appear orange or dirty.

       Problems with Red Areas

      So many people have red areas on their skin, and they do not know how to tackle them. Of course, you should also discuss these issues with your doctor to ensure that it is not a serious condition. When you have some redness on your skin, you can actually use makeup to soothe it out; you just need to know which products to buy. Look for concealers and foundations that have green undertones. You might even buy a product that is green. When you use these products on your face, they help to cancel out the redness. Don't worry; the green is easily hidden with your foundation.

       Allergic Reactions

      As you are considering your skin type, you also need to consider what ingredients you are allergic to. Sometimes, allergic reactions do not manifest themselves right away. You might put on an eye shadow or a foundation and not realize you are allergic to it until hours later. Some people do not have troubles with allergies. If you do, you definitely need to look into the ingredients list before you put anything on your face. Just consider how close these allergens would be to your sensitive eyes, mouth, ears, nose and other body parts.

       Sweating Makeup Away

      Of course, knowing how much you sweat is a part of selecting and applying the right types of makeup as well. Some people do tend to sweat a lot on their faces, especially around their foreheads and right under their noises. This can have disastrous consequences for your makeup, and your face might resemble a puddle by the end of the day. If you are a person who sweats a lot, then you should look into some primers. The primers will help your makeup to stay fresh and beautiful all day long.

       Working with a Professional

      Perhaps you have a makeup appointment scheduled with a professional. Whether you are getting your makeup done for a wedding or just for a night out on the town, being pampered is a lot of fun. However, if you are just meeting the makeup artist for the first time, he or she does not know what your skin is like. If you come to the session under-prepared, then the results might not be what you expected. While some makeup artists may be able to tell what type of skin you have, you should be prepared to let them know as well.

      As you can see, knowing your skin type is not something to take lightly when it comes to makeup. If you do not what your skin is like, then you are not going to be able to select products to give that perfect finish in photos.

      Chapter 3- An Introduction to Corrective Makeup

      When considering the use of corrective makeup, there are two common goals that people attempt to achieve. They aim to create a more proportioned facial appearance, and to conceal specific flaws or blemishes caused by a number of unavoidable circumstances. These goals can be accomplished in a number of ways. Using concealing agents, basic foundation or other shading and shadowing techniques to emphasize the face's best features is often suggested.

      Obviously, depending on the specific needs of an individual, the approach will be dramatically different than someone else. For instance, someone with an angular face will likely use shading to soften features, while a rounded face might consider accenting a jaw line or enhancing cheekbones. However, by following a few guiding principles and making intelligent choices, anyone can gain the benefits of effectively using corrective makeup.

       Facial Shape

      The first thing to consider is the overall facial shape. In a large number of cases, the person choosing to use corrective makeup simply wants to increase the overall proportion of their face. Since the ideal shape of a face is an oval, most theories of corrective makeup involve bringing specific facial shapes more in line with this oval ideal. Here are a number of common facial shapes and a basic approach to work with each one.

      Rounded Shape: If a person has full, rounded cheeks, the lower half of the face must be brought to more of a peak than it appears naturally. One way to accomplish this is through the use of darker shades of foundation. People with this issue should choose a foundation that is one to two shades darker than their typical foundation. This new, darker foundation should be applied to the lower half of the face only, and the outer edges of that region specifically. This will give the appearance of a taper, and allow the face to appear more
