Even in the times of ancient Greece, people worked Kosmet (so-called after their original profession), who used a variety of cosmetic products to address the shortcomings in the appearance of women. These ancient specialists, "grandparents" of modern make-up, special make-up was applied by masking the problem areas and transforming the appearance of the fair sex. Kosmet also subscribed to its customers special cream for maintaining youthful, carried out various anti-aging treatments.

Unfortunately, just call home makeup quite difficult. In the course of numerous archaeological and ethnographic research, it became known that in ancient Egypt cosmetics already existed for two thousand years before the birth of Christ. The Egyptians then almost universally used various cosmetics strongly transforming their appearance: they are red cheeks, painted lips, applied to the body of aromatic oils that smell nice.

However, self-applied make-up can only girls from poor families, the noble lady invited artists for this purpose: make-up as a matter of very serious and time-consuming.

Then came the era of Louis XVI with his love of wigs, rouge and an abundance of flies. While makeup was considered literate if he was so bright that it was visible from afar possessor. And because the wash time was not accepted (the rules of decency allowed to take a bath no more than two or three times a year), the paint on the face and the body was kept well for a long time!

Only the French bourgeois revolution radically changed the understanding of the art of make-up in Europe. In place of the cry, sometimes ridiculous livery came the fashion for simplicity, naturalness and elegance. These criteria closer to modern trends in fashion, that this style of calling women to follow all the current make-up artists and stylists.

• Consider the type of skin when choosing a blush. Owners of oily skin matte blush suit without shine. For those ladies who have normal or dry skin, it should be fine pearl blush.
• There is a special line of cheekbones, and which are applied blush. If you find it difficult to determine its, do the simple exercise: pull your cheeks and draw a mental line from the highest points are rounded to the earlobes.

• To lipstick kept longer applied to the substrate little powder.
• Now you need to warm up in the hands of a pencil and cut around them lip contour. Try to choose a color to match the lipstick pencil, differences will look unnatural.

But those girls that dream of the additional volume to the lips, it may be advisable to use the contour pencil: apply it to the skin, hardly deviating from the natural lip line. However, do not forget the golden rule: the deviation should not exceed one to two millimeters, otherwise you will look silly and sloppy.

If you have thick lips, you'd better forget about the outline with a pencil, do not trace their lips. In order to solve the problem, leave the corners of her mouth not made up - so you will visually make lips thinner. But if you want to lift the drooping corners of her mouth, use the following trick: paint the lower lip, before reaching the corner and raise a slightly upward path.

But the end result - the perfect makeup - it depends not so much on the opportunity to buy the best and most expensive, but on the sense of taste and knowledge of basic literacy makeup.

Try, experiment, maybe you will find your own style, not like the images around you. But recently the idea that blondes are exclusively pink shades of lipstick and brown ink, was regarded as an axiom. A famous Marilyn Monroe took and broke all the rules, delighting fans with his lips coated with bright red lipstick and long eyelashes, covered in black ink.

Knowing the basic rules of makeup, try to push them and to find something new, inherent only to you. Perhaps this discovery will make you the one and only, unlike the others, but so attractive.
