How can I use makeup to cover my facial flaws?
Too many women use makeup to cover what they perceive as flaws in their face. However, properly applied cosmetics should accentuate your features. Burying your “flaws” just hides your true beauty.
Reveal your beauty with correct makeup application. If you are unsure of the best way to accentuate the positive, consider scheduling a professional makeup lesson at Clean Slate Waxing in San Diego’s Banker’s Hill.
Isn’t all makeup the same?
No, cosmetics can vary greatly. Low-priced makeup may contain chemicals that are not beneficial to your skin. However, it is important to note that a higher price tag does not necessarily indicate a higher-quality product.
Look for makeup that is hypoallergenic and non-comedogenic (does not clog pores). Some cosmetics, like the being TRUE® line used at San Diego’s Clean Slate Waxing, includes anti-aging antioxidants.
Ask your esthetician for recommendations for makeup that will work best with your skin type.
Why do some cosmetics have SPF?
The sun’s ultraviolet (UV) rays can damage your skin. While your other body parts may be covered by clothing when you are outside, your face typically remains exposed to UV rays. Over the years, UV exposure can cause skin cancer and premature aging of your skin. By using cosmetics with SPF (sun protection factor or sunscreen) added, you can protect your face from this skin damage.
Is professional makeup application necessary?
Many people will go their entire life without having a professional makeup application. However, professional makeup is often used for weddings and other special events. In fact, bridal makeup packages are very popular.
