Lipgloss...
Lip gloss is a cosmetic that gives your lips that glossy and shimmery tint. Lip gloss is usually used as a liquid in a bottle and also in a plastic, squeezable tube. Chap Stick or lip balm is not the same thing as lip gloss. Lip balm is used to moisturize your lips while lip gloss just makes your lips shiny. Lip gloss may also be translucent (clear) or colorful. Usually lip gloss is different shades of pinks and light reds. There are many different ways to apply your lip gloss. Lip gloss may come in a bottle where you use a brush to apply it to your lips. Lip gloss may also be squeezed out of a tube and directly onto your lips. Lip gloss is used instead of lipstick if you would like to add some color to your lips. Lipstick is used to add a lot of color to your lips, and lipstick usually comes in darker shades. It is recommended that teenagers do not wear lipstick too often because it may make the person look older than they really are. If you want to look your age, lip gloss is probably the right way to go.
Mascara...
There is one cosmetic that is more important than any other cosmetic…mascara. Mascara is important because it fully completes the eyes of the wearer. There are many different types of mascara. The options include waterproof mascara, clear mascara, thickening mascara, and lengthening mascara. When you look for mascara, you want to make a careful decision because there are many different brands. However, you must narrow it down to what you want. Waterproof mascara is of course waterproof. So if you are very athletic and play sports, this would be a good choice. However, waterproof mascara may make your eyelashes break, so try not to wear it every day. Clear mascara is hard to see because it is obviously clear. It is for those days where you want to look natural. Thickening mascara is used to thicken your eyelashes. However, this mascara usually clumps together on the brush. Lengthening mascara makes your eyelashes appear longer. However, like waterproof, it may also cause your eyelashes to break. So as you can see, there are many different types. As for brands, these include Maybelline, Great Lash, Sephora, and so many more. Also, it is recommended to have an eyelash curler to give your lashes that extra curl. So make sure that when you walk out your house, you either have already applied your mascara, or you have your mascara packed away in your purse. It is very important.
Eyeliner...
Eyeliner is used to define and shape your eyes. Eyeliner, like eye shadow, comes in a variety of colors. Some like to use colorful and bold eyeliner, while others like to use neutral colors such as black or brown. There are liquid eyeliners and pencil eyeliners. To apply eyeliner, it is mostly recommended that you begin drawing your line at the outer end of your eye and move toward the center. This will guarantee a smooth line over your eye. If you want your eyes to look larger, you should just put eyeliner on the top of your eyes. If you want your eyes to look smaller, you should put eyeliner on the top of your eyes and on the waterline. Make sure that before you go to sleep you remove your eyeliner. Eyeliner may cause problems such as eye infections, so it is crucial that you remove it later. Also, it is recommended that if you use a pencil eyeliner that you sharpen it every time you use it. This is a good sign of hygiene. Eyeliner is used by boys and girls alike. Girls call it “eyeliner” while boys call it “guyliner.” Eyeliner has been used for a long time, and now it is an everyday thing among people everywhere.

Eye Shadow...
One important cosmetic that is needed to complete your eyes is eye shadow. The purpose of eye shadow is to draw attention to the person’s eyes. Eye shadow is also used to make the person’s eyes stand out. Eye shadow is usually applied to the eyelids and underneath the eyebrows. There are dozens of different brands of eye shadows, and hundreds of different colors. Eye shadow is most often used as a powder. Then, you would use a brush or even your fingers to apply the eye shadow to your eyelids. What is important about eye shadow is blending. When you use eye shadow you want to make the colors blend instead of just strips of color. You want the eye shadow to look natural on your eyes, and you may even like giving your eyes a smoky look. It all is concentrated around blending. As you should understand now, blending is important. You do not want people to be looking at your eyes because of a crude job on your eyelids. You want people to notice the vibrant colors and how your eyes are distinguished. Eye shadow is common on women everywhere, but eye shadow is also used in theater so as to be able to see the actor’s eyes. Usually when you apply eye shadow, you apply light colors underneath your eyebrows, and the more lively colors on your eyelids. This is because you do not want the bright eye shadow underneath your eyebrows and the light colors on your eyelids. This would add a strange effect, and extinguish the purpose of eye shadow.
Foundation...
The purpose of foundation is to enhance a person’s skin and complexion. Foundation is supposed to help the person’s skin tones and even out the colors. This helps increase a person’s complexion and the person seems more attractive to others. Many people like having tan skin instead of pale, so many use darker foundations than their skin tones. This is not good because you want your skin to look natural and not fake. Sadly, foundation clogs the pores on your face, so it is important to take care of your skin. It is important, then, to wash your face. It is also recommended to use a mineral foundation. A mineral foundation does not usually clog your pores, and it may also protect your skin from dust and dirt. Also, a mineral foundation is better than the other foundations because of the minerals in it, and we need minerals. Another element people apply to their face is concealer. When you use concealer, it is recommended to pat it on the blemished area. Do not rub it into your skin. Also, concealer is not meant to be applied to a large area. Also, many people wonder if the concealer is put on before or after the foundation. It does not really matter. It is your personal opinion. Your skin is important. Take care of it.

Purpose of Makeup
The purpose of applying makeup every day is to define the beauty of the person, and to perfect the image of them by covering up the blemishes that may appear. When you use makeup, you want to use the colors that may express your skin tone or your eyes. However, you do not want to overuse your makeup because you do not want to look like a doll. Also, makeup is not supposed to be used to hide the physical features you dislike about yourself. For example, often some apply a thick layer of foundation to hide their freckles. Freckles may define who you are, and you were made that way. I remember a girl who used to cover up all her freckles because she thought they were ugly. Once, she was walking with her boyfriend, and her boyfriend happened to notice that she covered up her freckles. He then told her that he loved her freckles and that she should not cover them up because she looked beautiful with them. This shows that people love you for who you are. Makeup just helps show how beautiful you really are. But remember, true beauty is what is on the inside.
