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!
