The Proper Way to Remove Makeup

Avoid leaving makeup on through the night - It can clog pores, especially if it is thick makeup or there is a lot on. It is the key to keeping skin looking gorgeous, especially. However, it can be tricky to make sure all of it is gone.

Remove any eye makeup Use a gentle makeup remover just for eye makeup. Regular makeup remover can irritate the eyes. Make sure you get most off, if not all, of any eyeliner and mascara you had on, as well as some eye shadow.

Steam your pores Drape a towel over your head and hold it over a sink of hot, steaming water. This opens your pores and is easier for cleansing.

Remove your lip color Apply a small dab of makeup remover to your lips, and gently rub it in with cotton.

For your eyes For a perfect eye shape, use a small brush to blend a medium tone color from just below the brow arch downwards in a semi-circle motion. Line your eyelids with a pencil and blend a darker shade into the crease and outer corner. Shadow application should be from inner to outer corners. Complete your glam look with ultra dramatic lashes. Sweep some mascara across the lashes to complete the glam look. Always apply mascara in a zigzag motion, this helps in avoiding clumps.

Use a gentle face wash Most of your makeup should come off on this stage. Be sure the face wash is gentle and you don't scrub harshly. Your skin has been covered in makeup all day and it needs to breath!

Remove any eye makeup that ran while you washed your face It's pretty common to see a bit of mascara or eyeliner under your eyes, and very easy to remove with a dampened cotton swab.

Close your pores with a splash of cool water Rub in some moisturizer to soothe your skin.

Pat your face dry with a towel and rub in a light moisturizer The rigor of the removal of makeup can dry out your skin in irritation. Soothe this with a light moisturizer. <a href="http://khushsingh.com/">Khush Singh - Celebrity &amp; Indian Bridal Makeup Artist</a>
