Girls always have the habit of trying out all the makeup products on their wrists or palms, but this method is not completely effective as you still don’t know. The color of the hand is different from the color of the face, so this can lead to confusion in choosing the right makeup for yourself.
Let’s keep in mind the makeup tips below to choose the right “soulmate” for yourself from the first try.
Lipstick
Many girls have the habit of swatching lipstick on their hands to see the color, but this only shows the color of the lipstick and does not help you check if it suits your face or not.
You should swatch lipstick on your fingertips because the undertone of the skin on your fingertips is similar to the natural color of your lips.
If you have thin lips, it is better to avoid dark colors. Light and clear colors will make your lips look soft, natural, and more attractive.
Foundation
Many girls make a mistake when choosing foundation, which is choosing a lighter shade than their skin tone, making the face whiter than the neck. You should try the foundation on the middle of the neck and jawline. If you see that the color between these two parts doesn’t differ too much, then this is definitely the right foundation shade for you.
After you have chosen the right shade, continue to test if the foundation oxidizes and becomes darker by applying a small amount of foundation and blending it on the crease area between your index finger and thumb. If your foundation passes this test, then you should buy it right away.
Eye shadow
Apply eye shadow on the crease of your knuckles to see the color payoff and how well it blends. This crease is quite similar to the eyelid. Adding a bit of shimmer eyeshadow on the inner corner, middle of the eyelid, and under the brow bone will make your eyes sparkle and attract attention. Therefore, swatching on your hand and moving your knuckles will help you see the shimmer of the eyeshadow palette more clearly.
Mascara
Apply mascara on your hand and gently rub it on the oiliest area on your face, then rub it vigorously to test its smudge-proofness. The lashes still produce oil like the face, so for those with oily skin, choosing the wrong smudge-proof mascara will make the eyes look dark and smudged.
