Make Up Games


Make up games may seem simple, but they are actually a pretty important part of looking great on a daily basis. Stop to consider how much time and effort you put into your appearance every day. You bathe, you dry your hair, you straighten it, you put on make up, you choose the perfect outfit and then you finally get out the door. Playing make up games give you an opportunity to do more than just get out the door - you'll be able to do your make up beautifully every time since you'll know exactly what works and what doesn't.

When you put on your make up, you need to spend time getting it right. After all, nobody wants to see you with your eyeliner all messed up! But learning those skills takes some practice time, so the more time you spend playing make up games both online and at your house, the more successful you're going to be with the various tasks overall. And, as we all know, it's important to look good no matter what you're doing!

Make Up Games for Springtime


This year, why not do some spring cleaning in your make up kit with some fun make up games? There is an expiration date on most your make up items, so you’ll actually be doing yourself a big favor if you go through your collection to find the old stuff, toss it out and then build a collection of make up that actually works, is stylish and is fresh as well.

Many times we collect make up based on what we get as handouts from others or from the bargain bins of stores. While there is nothing wrong with that, it’s nice to walk into the store and buy just what you need without worrying about what’s on sale or hurting anyone’s feelings. So do it! Give yourself a budget for the day and then head over to the drug store to try out some new styles and colors. Your make up games will not only show you some great new items to add to your collection, but you’ll be beyond stylishly presented as well in the latest trends.

Make Up Games for Teenagers


I work with teenagers every day of the week, and I’m always a bit amazed by some of the looks they pull together with their make up games. Growing up I learned that make up games were designed to help enhance your natural beauty and appearance. You aren't supposed to make your make up so outlandish that everyone knows you’re wearing tons. You’re supposed to make it look as though you just happen to be that amazingly beautiful.

But sometimes the make up games that the girls are playing now involve colors that are unnatural and plenty of glitter and sparkle. Sure, I get that you can wear something a bit wild to the clubs or out in the evenings, but many of these girls are wearing the bold shadows during the week. They are wearing it to Algebra class or softball practice. Perhaps what these girls need is a warning label in their make up games online. They should be told that some looks are only safe for the evening hours – and a bit outlandish while the sun is still shining.

Make Up Games and Funky Nails


I've made up my mind this week. I’m going for a manicure and I’m not going to leave until I have some seriously funky nails. I've been minding my own business with all of these various make up games, waiting for a look that suits me, and I think this is it. I want to paint my nails something really popular and stylish and apparently that means I need to find something a bit darker than what I’m used to. I, for one, am all about it!

In the winter my skin tends to look a bit extra pale and wimpy. Pairing it up with a dark polish like a burgundy or even a brown would make my nails really stand out and look great on my pale hands. I think the dark nail polish also helps jewelry to stand out, and with some of the various make up games that are so every the top right now, having something a bit lower key is easier for me to handle at least – I can paint my nails, even if I can’t paint glitter on my eyelids.

Make Up Games and Lipstick


Lipstick is an interesting item to follow over the years. For a very long time it was the go-to item in a woman’s make up bag. You simply didn't leave the house without your lipstick on. Generally speaking back then it was a bright color as well. Then we moved into the frosted lipsticks and finally into lip glosses.  Over the years we've seemed to grow more casual about lipstick and what is considered fashionable and attractive.

Now, I’m pleased to say, we’re going back to the bright lipstick shades of the past. Bright red lips are once again considered sexy and attractive. That makes them an excellent candidate for make up games. As it turns out, not every woman looks good in the same shade of red lipstick. This is why there are so many different shades available.

Play make up games with the sample shades on your pinky finger to find the ideal shade for your skin tone. Then, buy the tube and continue to try out colors at home until you find the one that makes you feel confident, sexy and flirty at work – you’re good to go!

Make Up Games and Fashion


It’s very fashionable right now to have a bunch of different eye shadow colors competing on your eyelids. While it may be stylish, it’s bound to go down in history as a fun time period – much like the blue eye shadow of the 1980’s was so much fun for fashion as well. Make up games are always a great deal of fun, and if you like playing with cosmetics, you can online imagine the possibilities that can come from exploring the options that our current cast of colors can bring.

When you start to play with eye shadow in particular during your make up games, it used to be that eye shadow should match your face. Now, however, we’re encouraged to make sure that your eye shadow matches your outfit or fashion – this is courtesy, of course, of the many bright color options available. If your outfit is green, your eye shadow should contain a bit of the green. If it’s blue, be sure to blend in some blue as well. It’s all an adventure and that is what makes it so much fun!

Make Up Games and the Office


I read an article the other day that said you must wear make up to be taken serious in the office. I’m not sure if I agree completely, but there is probably some merit to the article. In this particular piece, the author was trying to help young people understand how important it is to dress well and play make up games. I think it’s all a matter of opinion.  There are many successful women who don’t slather on a full face of make up every day anyhow.

I don’t normally wear make up to work, so playing intense make up games every day would drive me nuts. What I do use, however, is a heavy duty moisturizer and highlighter to ensure that my face looks healthy and clean. A bit of mascara and some lip gloss completes the look. If you have nice skin tone you can present a clean and healthy face to the world every day without layers of make up. Think of this as make up games for good reason.

Make Up Games and Funky Eyeliner


Everywhere I look these days I’m finding girls – and guys – rocking some interesting eyeliner. These make up games are fun to look at, of course, and I’ll admit that I’m intrigued by them. What would I look like if I were wearing bold eyeliner? Perhaps I should add a few swipes for the day and find out. Should I use white liner? Black liner? Maybe I need a bit of extra flare with cat eyes and little dots.

Before anyone ever tries to play make up games with eyeliner, you absolutely have to go through a training process. Fortunately, there are many different videos and instructional how-tos out there now that will show you how to apply all sorts of make up items, including wild eyeliner. Practice at home first and be sure that you’re comfortable with the look you’re creating. Once you head to school with wild eyeliner, you’re set for the day, so you want to be sure that you’ve mastered it before you leave!

Make Up Games and Sales


This isn’t the season to find the best sales of the year on make up. Those days are right around the holiday season. But this is the time of the year when you can enjoy trying out new sorts of make up to decide what you like and what you want to buy when it does go on sale. Consider the crowds in December. Clinque may be having the greatest sale of your life, but you’ll have to force your way through the crowd to buy anything, and how do you even know what to buy?

To determine your best choices, you should do your browsing now. Understand that this means you’ll likely need to buy a few small things, but you can save the big purchases for later this year. Have your make up done at the counters to learn about the different items and to see how they work. Right after school starts is generally pretty slow in the department stores. Bring a friend after school to get your make up done and you’ll be able to get attention and ask all of your questions about items. Then, you can grab them when they really are on sale this winter.

Make Up Games and No Make Up


Normally when you think of make up games, you imagine all of the different sorts of looks that you can create with make up. But there is one style that is challenging to create with make up, although if you can make the style work, you’re truly gifted with make up games. The end goal of this project is to appear as if you’re wearing no make up at all.

In most make up games, you’re looking for styles you can wear on your face to draw out your eyes and highlight your lips. Lipsticks, eyeliner and eye shadow are all part of this game. But what if you had to draw out features without showing any of the normal make up items that you use? You’ll be stuck creating a new look using only nudes, neutrals and the most natural colors in lip gloss and mascara. But it can be done.

Creating a nude look on the face is not only exciting, but it’s freeing as well. Cover the spots and make your eyes pop – but do it all so naturally through make up games that others simply don’t notice what it is that you’ve been up to.

Make Up Games for Back to School


Everyone wants to make a good impression on new friends as they start the school year and this year is going to be no exception to that rule. Make up games are a natural part of getting ready to go back to school. You need to know what looks good on you and what sort of make up is the best type to really make you features stand out without looking as though you've painted up your face for a big night out on the town.

Your school make up games should be pretty simple and straightforward. You'll want to wear make up that appears light and natural most of the time. Sometimes you might have a bit of fun wearing some bright eye shadows and eyeliner, but just about every morning you should be able to swipe on your five minute face and be out the door - ready for a grand adventure that your school day brings.

Make Up Games and Crying


There is nothing that messes up make up games faster than freshly shed tears. Crying will destroy just about any make up games you’ve tried to arrange on your face and short of willing away tears, there’s not much you can do to prevent some trauma, but if you plan ahead you can certainly come out looking decent enough after a good crying spell.

If you’re going to cry – you’re anticipating tears – you can easily use waterproof make up for your make up games. Mascara is easy to find in a waterproof formula. Waterproof lipstick is easy enough as well. The tricky part of your make up is to find a base and powder that won’t get too damaged by tears. Perhaps the best way to salvage your cheeks and under eyes after a good crying jag is to simply bring along a compact so that you can dab a bit on to repair the damage.

The Basics of Make Up Games


Make up games are one of the most appealing form of dress up game available online. In the make up games, you’ll be given a doll’s face on the computer screen. Your job is to then apply the various shades and sorts of make up to the doll so that she’s wearing a full face of make up. With the make up games, you have dozens of selections of colors and styles, and the more interactive games let you do a bit more customization than the basic versions.

With the make up games, you’re able to see what the make up items look like on the doll, and often you’re able to do some fun treatments with the hairstyles as well. Doing both hair and make up on the virtual doll is almost the same as doing hair and make up on a friend of yours. Who knows? Maybe you can play the online make up games with your friend and then sit down together and use the tips and tricks you just learned to apply your own make up.

Make Up Games and Dark Circles


Dark circles are a problem for many women – some are hereditary and others are simply the product of bad sleep habits or a rough night. But what is most important for make up games is knowing how to make those dark circles virtually disappear with just a few sweeps of the make up brush. And you can mask dark circles under the eyes with a few tricks.

Use a lighter foundation rather than a concealer. Concealers are often too light and bright to blend naturally over a large area. Use instead a foundation that is a shade or two lighter than the one you’re using on the rest of your face.

Pat the concealer in place. Using a sponge or your finger, carefully pat the foundation into place under the eye. Pat it so that it covers the area you’re trying to address completely and so that it is smoothly blended and appears natural.

Blend well with your regular foundation. You’re playing color tricks, so blend the light foundation under your eyes with your regular foundation just below it. The end result should appear to be totally seamless and smooth.

Make Up Games and Fake Tans

If you enjoy make up games, you probably already know the power of the tan. A tanned face appears healthier and many of the fine lines and veins that are visible under pale skin disappear. Of course, when you get a tan from the sun, you’re playing with danger – that same tan that looks so healthy now is actually harming your skin well into the future when you’ll have more than just fine lines to deal with as you age. Fortunately, you can enjoy make up games without having to scortch your face under the sun – you just need a bit of fake tanner.

There are several types of fake tanning products, but among these the two that you need to know most are bronzers and aerosol tanning sprays. Bronzers are products designed for your face. They are essentially a special type of powder or perhaps a cream that you apply to your skin and it instantly appears a few shades darker – as if you have a light tan. When you use bronzer, however, your face may suddenly appear tanner than your arms, legs or even neck. To keep things in balance, use a spray tanner to give the rest of your body a light tan as well. It makes for a much more satisfying make up game.

Make Up Games and Eye Cream

There are a ton of creams and potions available out there and among them is the tiny bottle of eye cream. Eye cream is a nice addition to your make up games because it helps your make up games go on more smoothly as well as helping to soothe your eyes after a long day. When you use eye cream, you're able to reduce the puffiness and swelling that you might find on your upper and lower eyelids every morning.

The cream also helps to minimize fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes. That doesn't mean that it is just for older ladies, however. The more moisture you have around your eyes, the smoother and brighter your eyes will look. Using eye cream in your makeover games will help to give your fragile skin the moisture it needs while keeping the area smooth. The eye cream will also help to prevent future damage to this area of your face - a critical element of getting older and still looking great!

Make Up Games and Car Trips

It might not seem like a great idea, but if you have a few of your friends riding in a car together for hours at a time on a long car trip, there is no reason that you can’t use that time to perfect some of your make up games. Make up games are a fun way to try out new looks with cosmetics and colors and if you’re able to bring along your make-up kit and brushes, you can certainly use the make up items while you’re riding in the car – it makes a nice break from listening to music or reading a book at least.

Part of the fun of make up games in the car is the mystery of what your friend is doing. There are not many mirrors readily available to the passengers in the backseat, so settle down and get ready for some run the next time you’re riding with friends. Take turns doing each other’s make up games and then be ready for some raised eyebrows when you stop. Imagine walking into a rest stop with club make up on or perhaps some serious fake eyelashes. Of course, the whole thing is all about fun and games – and that just makes it more of an adventure than ever.

Make Up Games and Summer

The heat of the summer is quickly closing in and the hot summer months means only one thing – less make up. I wish everyone knew that make up games need to change when the weather warms up, but I guess that’s just part of my job to let them know that things need to change and that they need to stop caking on the make-up and start making it just a wee bit easier to put together a look for the months when skin should be dewy and fresh looking.

The sun is out and that means that you definitely need to start your make up games with a moisturizer that contains some sunscreen. Slather on your moisturizer in the morning and then add a light layer of foundation if you’d like. It might be even better to skip straight to the part where you dust on a bit of powder over the shiny parts of your face. A dash of blush on each cheek, a swipe of mascara and then you need only one more thing to look your best over the summer – some kissable, fun lip gloss with plenty of shine!
