Pro Make-Up

As many girls and women out there know, there’s only one true rule when it comes to make-up, there are no real rules, but tips are always good to learn!

We’ve all had disastrous make-up-mishaps, whether it’s applying the foundation (and realising it gives you a un-healthy orange glow), defining the eyes with liner – only to discover the lines don’t match up and you have a peculiar squinted effect, or the perfect pout you’ve always wanted to pull off resembles a rather bizarre pucker. But thankfully there’s mercy at hand in the resourceful package for your mobile phone called ‘Pro Make-Up’.

As the name suggests, it’s designed to give you some top tips which are used to give those dramatic looks models have, right the way down to just simple but effective tools to maximise what you’ve got and make guys and girls turn heads. So enough about me bigging it up, the proof’s in the pudding…

You have five core areas to master; the techniques, the corrections, the colours, the tools and the products. The techniques are broken down into three core areas, eyes, cheeks and lips. For example the lips give you the mentoring of “A smile flatters the lips more than make up… but the right make-up can enhance the smile even more! Consequently, there are some rules to respect: Firstly, avoid strongly made-up eyes when you wear a lot of lipstick.” You can then read up more information on how to use powder, lip pencil, lipstick and gloss. These then progress to tell you what they’re used for, how to apply it and any tips!

To be brutally honest with you, this is a must have for any girl or woman who needs a little help in terms of buying the right make-up, and more importantly ensuring you use what you have in the right way to boost its impact, reduce its flaws and get you the result you (and any female out there wants), to look and feel great!

The greatest advice this little pocket-dynamo of a beauty bible ultimately offers is that just a few key alterations in whatever you currently do will have a phenomenal result for the good. Sometimes the changes will be subtle but will save you time or effort, otherwise the results will be dramatic and far more hard-hitting, but they’ll be kind with you features and style.

If I was to say that there’s any area for improvement in this package, it would have to be in the introduction of ‘ideas’. For me I would have loved to have seen stars or models images and see how they achieved the results and see how I could then use and apply them to myself. However none of us are too old to play dress-up and the moment you get set in your ways is the moment you’re already looking dated!

Ultimately then, this application is the most amazing thing to happen for women and could save you time and money spent on beauticians and spare you any more bad make-up days.
