(ThyBlackMan.com) Many people are insecure with one part of their body or another. This means that most people have facial features that they would like to change or modify. If you do not want to embrace your uniqueness, you can cover up your flaws with makeup or alter them through plastic surgery. Remember that beauty is in the hands of the beholder; what is not beautiful to you might be gorgeous to another person. You can easily hide your flaws with these beauty tips:
Contouring
You do not need expensive plastic surgery to correct your flaws. If you want to highlight or hide specific areas of your face, you should
learn the basic contouring techniques. For instance, to detract from a wide nose or sharpen your cheekbones, you can use darker foundation or bronzer. On the other hand, you can draw attention to other areas of your face using light-colored concealer or powder. The key is using blending both techniques well. You want to enhance your face, not paint on another one.
Conceal
Do you have breakouts and dark spots that you would rather not advertise to the world? Wash your hands before touching your face because dirt will only irritate it further. Once you apply foundation, use a concealer to hide any redness and blend with a brush for a perfect finish.
Lighten up
Dark circles under the eye can be hidden with a light, creamy concealer. When in a pinch, you can use your normal concealer. Apply makeup only in the dark crescent below the eye, not the whole area. Also one can use Eye Cream for Dark Circles or something similar. Lastly, use a translucent powder to set in.
Brush over
Many over-the-counter serums promise buyers luxuriously thick eyelashes. If you are not willing to risk your few eyelashes, you can pump up your lash line volume using the right shade of mascara and formula. Buy some eyeliner and a curler. Use the curler to curl your eyelids, and then apply several coats of mascara on them.
Plump up
If you have thin lips, you can easily fix that with makeup. First, you have to exfoliate the skin on your lips with a brush to remove dead cells and promote blood flow. Next, use a colored lip balm to moisturize your lips. You can then use foundation to highlight the area around your lips. Lightly pencil your lips in then apply a gloss finish for the desired, pouty effect.
Drawn in
Do you have non-existent or sparse eyebrows? You should not go anywhere without drawing a bolder brow in with shadow or eye pencil. Make sure that you follow your natural brow shape when drawing in to keep things looking natural. Use a little clear mascara to keep any unruly hair in line. This is an easy way to give your face structure while drawing attention to your eyes.
Fake bake
A summer glow goes a long way for those dealing with bodily imperfections such as cellulite and breakouts. Of course, to make sure that your skin stays healthy for years to come, you should consider getting a fake tan. Sitting in the sun for hours is not healthy in the end.
Are you still unhappy with your face after finishing the makeup application process? Do you still think your nose is too wide for your face? You should consider wide nose rhinoplasty to fix your insecurity once and for all. Nobody deserves to go through life feeling unconfident and full of low self-esteem especially when a little procedure can make your insecurity go away.
