"If you want to wear makeup suitable for any occasion and look amazing at the same time, this little tutorial is designed to teach you how to put on make up."

As you read on, we offer you some suggestions on how to apply makeup which will help you look fabulous, irrespective of the event you're going to take part in.

So let's begin...

Here's a quick tip on how to put make up on if you have arranged to go out with your friends, you may choose a discrete makeup, because it is quite an ordinary event and you want to highlight your personality.

We recommend for your lips that you only use a golden gloss, and for your eyes a cream eyelid shadow, in delicate pink shades. As far as the blush is concerned, it would be better to choose a matte pink, which should be applied only on the upper side of the cheek bones.

Now, in order to complete the process, you want to quickly master how to put on make up on your eye. First you underline the shape of your eyes, applying a black mascara or a dark brown one, both on the upper eyelashes and on the lower ones.

Here's how to put on make up for a strong evening look:

Receptions are suitable occasions to add a little theater like aspect to your makeup.

You can begin by underlining your eyes with an eye liner, like Audrey Hepburn in "Breakfast at Tiffany's".

Dark blue, black or chocolate are classical colors for makeup, which are suitable for cocktail parties.

Then you want to apply the make up on the eye lids and on the arcades, preparing the area for the eyeliner.

And if you want a really trendy holiday look, don't exaggerate by picking your eyebrow hairs, because thin, curved eyebrows are not trendy any more.

When you feel confident about how to put on make up for this look, you will understand that you don't want to apply blush and use a discrete shade of lipstick.

If you're going to a special party where a luxurious look is required, you will want to try using a pale pink lipstick, a naked reddish brown blush and make sure you underline the lower part of your eyes with a dark shade makeup, preferably grey.

And another very important point when you learn how to put on make up, is you should never ignore jewelry (for example a pair of shiny earrings), which will reflect the light and will increase the light effect given by the makeup.

Let's take a look at another style, here's how to put on make up for that discrete look for that party at the office:

The most suitable makeup in these situations must not be very different from the makeup you wear during a typical work day, but it must be special.

Don't wear harsh makeup. Remember that at an office party you will meet with your bosses, those who pay you, therefore you want to make sure you look decent. A lipstick, which is not very bright would be a good choice, especially if it matches a discrete blush and a slightly shiny powder.

Besides, don't forget that you need a perfect manicure, which will make a good impression when you shake hands with your superiors.

How do you start wearing makeup, when you're first learning how to put on make up?

Here's a little story, does it remind you of anyone you know? A 17 year old girl wonders how to apply makeup, because she desperately wants to, but doesn't know any of the rules. She's scared that without help on how to put make up on, she might look ridiculous if she starts putting on makeup on her own. She doesn't even know how to use certain beauty products.

The solution is very simple, a makeup artist can understand her very well, because she was once also young and she didn't know how to put on make up once either.

She also wanted to learn how to apply makeup but she was afraid of the beauty products, because she didn't know how to use them as well. So she started by herself and began experimenting with how to put on make up, by applying a little at a time.

First she used only lipstick and mascara, then an eye liner. She used her first foundation on the occasion of an interview in order to be employed by a cosmetic products company. Then she remembers she looked and felt quite weird.

For a young girl, it would be ideal to begin a makeup course, a place with one purpose, so you can learn how to put on make up. Now, if this solution doesn't seem affordable for the moment, you can read a lot of books written on this theme, purchased from bookshops or online.

Whatever information you get hold of it is important that it is presented in a structured manner.

Here are the first steps for a beginner, so you can learn how to put make up on. Let's start with a simple makeup look. You will need a foundation, at least two shades of makeup, a mascara, a blush, a lip liner and lipstick, both having the same shade.

You apply the foundation, pouring a small amount in your palm, and using your finger you spread the foundation slightly. But remember, before you do you must apply a hydrating cream, which will give adherence to the makeup.

The foundation shouldn't be deeply massaged, because it shouldn't get into the skin, but it should remain, like a film, on the surface of the complexion. If you want to apply it as well as you can, you can use a very small amount in order to be able to control the spreading.

A basic makeup principle is to start applying makeup from the upper side of your face. For the eyelids you may start with two makeup shades. Your eyes are successfully made up if the shades you use for it are mixed so that there is no limit between the colors.

The simplest way to learn how to put on make up is to just start, experiment at home, and you'll be pleasantly surprised at just how well you master how to put on make up.
