IMPORTANT COSMETIC TOOLS:

Some basic standbys will be invaluable for helping you achieve a professional, finished look to your make up.

TISSUES will be needed for cleansing routines, for correcting mistakes, for blotting lipstick, and for keeping your hands and working surfaces clean.

COTTON BUDS are handy for removing smudges, blending shadows and softening pencils lines. They also make good applicators for powder eye shadow.

COTTON WOOL is perfect for applying toner and for dusting off excess face powder or powder eye shadow .Cotton balls are convenient, but a roll will work out cheaper.

SPONGERS can be either natural or synthetic; it’s good to have a stock of several for applying foundation. Clean and rinse them regularly.

POWDER PUFFS will be needed for compressed face powder.

EYEBROW TWEEZERS, SCISSORS, EYELASH CURLERS, AND A COSMETIC PENCIL SHARPNER will all come in handy too. CONTOUR BRUSHERS are big, flat and soft brushers used for applying powder, powder blushers, shades, and highlighters. SPONGE-TIPPED APPLICATORS are useful for eye-shadow powders, or for applying color beneath the eye

A LIP BRUSH is a chisel-ended brush, usually with a lid or a retractable head to stop it collecting diet. Clean it by wiping off excess lipstick with a tissue and then rubbing in cleansing cream; wipe it clean with a tissue

AN EYE BROW BRUSH is for training the brows into shape and for removing excess powder.

PERFUMES -smell good and make yourself desirable. A woman is expected to use perfumes. Your choice of perfume also reveals a side or a part of you. Some have floral choices and some go in for masseuse deodorants and sprays during mornings, and at night wear exotic perfumes.

NOTE: Never apply perfumes on your clothes. Apply perfume at places where the body heat releases the fragrance like behind the ears, wrists, nape of the neck, temples and between your breasts. Apply perfume before wearing your pearls and jewellery
