The sheer cover make up of this season is either a natural one, hardly perceptible, natural glow, or either a lively one, characterized by crazy colors.

Creating a natural sheer cosmetics look

A matte complexion is not trendy any more, as it must look naked, a little bronzed, and fresh. Everything must look very natural.

The well hydrated complexion is made up with sheer foundation makeup or creams which contain pigments, colors, particles which reflect light, in order to obtain a naked color. The blush, preferably the cream, must be matte, but transparent, in rosy beige or caramel shades.

For the eyes you will use ivory naked eye shadows, beige, caramel, warm or cold pink, light olive, pale golden, pearl grey, iridizing white which gives shine to your look, without making you look too made up. The sheer cosmetics range can easily provide you with these products and colors.

Sheer cosmetics eye shadow will be applied in fine hues and it must not have clear limits. You must not wear eyeliner, or at least black eyeliner. The eyeliner may be brown, aubergine, taupe (light brown) or the stress should be put using a lighter eye shadow, but having the same tone, not clearly delimited, but more like a shadow. It is preferable to use a paintbrush made of natural hair.

It spreads the eye shadow without creating particle jams which would have an unpleasant aspect. Better less than very much. If you want, you may apply two layers. Be on the look out for good quality eye shadow when you are shopping for sheer cover makeup stores.

The mascara worn during the day time must be very natural, it must be used only to color your eyelashes, and in the evening it must be used for volume. The eyelashes must be very well delimited, separated, curved and as black as ebony.

A well chosen sheer cosmetics mascara successfully replaces the eyeliner, creating such long and consistent eye lashes, that you don't need a line, to delimit them. Your lips must appear extremely natural, fresh, even a little wet.

You don't have to use lip liner, except in the case when your lips are not very well delimited. In this case, you must use a lip liner similar to the color of your lips, not the color of your lipstick.

The lipstick, preferably sheer cosmetics liquid lipstick, is applied especially in the middle of the lower lips, spreading naturally by rubbing the lips. You should wear transparent textures, or translucent, which gives you only a breeze of color. Lip liner is not trendy any more, neither is using lipstick – the color must create a natural hue all over your face, giving the illusion of natural.

You may use a lip-gloss over which you will tint gently with a lip liner, caramel, rosy beige, very natural, having the same tone as your face therefore your lips won't seem too made up. Lipsticks can be matte or slightly iridizing, naked, with golden and silvery particles. For specific products review sheer cover cosmetics brochures.

Creating crazy colors with sheer cosmetics

A second variant of this summer makeup is a color explosion, like in the 1970's or the 1980's, from mauve, orange, blue, violet, bordeaux, cyclamen, to the classical black liner applied with generosity.

This time, your complexion must be matte, but it also must look natural, so you must use a translucent foundation and powder. If you have freckles, don't cover them, as they are very modern. Your cheeks may have crazy colors like bonbon pink to violet, cyclamen, and reddish brown tones. Look for sheercover mineral make up and decide a color scheme you like.

Your blush must be matte, preferably powder (cream blush can be difficult to spread when its colors are bright). The eye shadow will have the same crazy colors – mauve, violet, green, blue, turquoise, yellow, orange and original combinations of these colors.

However, the sheer cosmetics makeup must be applied in a thin layer, translucent, in order to create a natural breeze. The eyes are highlighted.

The mascara, in such cases must extend the eyelashes, but it may also change your look, so only one layer must be enough.

The lips, in the case of abundant, colorful makeup, can be made up using two natural variants. You can use only lip laquer or beige naked lipstick or, in a more daring makeup, a bright red lipstick, bordeaux or cyclamen.

Basic Sheer Cosmetics Makeup Application and Skin Care:

1. For a fresh sheer makeup look, soak the sponger you use for applying.

2. If your skin is sallow, choose a foundation which doesn't stay long on your face. To counteract the tone of your skin, you can select a pink or rosy blush.

3. Apply foundation all over your eyelid, powder with a transparent dust before eye shadow application. This helps to maintain color more natural and it will last for a longer time.

4. Ensure you applied the foundation on to your jaw line and gently on to your neck, if you don't want to have a line from your jaw to your neck, which will look as if you had a mask on.

5. Don't check foundation or cover color on your wrist. It must match the skin on your face and your neck.

Be careful with shivery products, especially when you apply them in the area of your eyes, as they tend to collect in the wrinkles. Again, as always sheer cosmetics can provide you with an excellent range of products for you to use. Experiment, see what works and what does not, but above all... have fun!
