Makeup to Impress Boys

Hi,

Valentine is coming up. So you might want to impress boys in this remaining time. Today I'm going to tell you how to wear your makeup to impress boys.

Well, the truth is that boys don't like makeup. They just don't get it and they don't want girls to cover themselves up. But boys also don't want a girlfriend with acne or very small eyes,... So we have to find a compromise here. Of course you don't have to wear makeup, it's totally up to you if you want to wear makeup. But if you do prefer to wear makeup, than I have some tips for you:

- The main trick is to keep it natural of course. Don't wear a very thick layer of foundation, don't go crazy with the bronzer or blush and don't overdo your eyes.
- A primer is a great first step for your impressing-boys-makeup-look. It already blurs your imperfections out, makes your pores look smaller and prevents your face to get oily. So now you can actually skip your foundation and powder. But if you still feel insecure, you don't have to of course. A primer makes your foundation look a lot more natural too. So a primer is a must here!
- If the next step is foundation for you, than I recommend to go for a more dewy one instead of a matte one. A matte foundation looks a lot more "fake". The Rimmel Wake Me Up foundation is an example of a foundation with a more dewy finish. And if you want to powder you face afterwards, than this foundation will make your face look still less matte, because it has little glitters in it (they look very natural and subtle, don't worry).
- Because we want to look natural, maybe you should skip concealer. Your foundation will cover the most blemishes up already and if you let some shine through it will look a lot more natural. But we don't want dark circles! To impress boys we want to look fresh! So you can wear some concealers under your eyes. A highlighting concealer will make your face look a lot more fresh too.
- If your face still gets oily, even though you're wearing your primer, than you should wear some powder. Because an oily skin in combination with a dewy foundation is not a good idea, believe me! So than your next step is a small layer of powder.
- Skip bronzing with this look, but you can go for some blush to add color to your face. But like I said before, don't go crazy with it! Pick a color than goes great with your skin tone and use a very light layer.
- If you fill in your brows, this is your next step. Many boys don't even know that there exists something like 'filling in your brows'. But still don't go crazy with it, leave your brows looking very natural.
- If you want to wear some eyeshadow you can go for a champagne color. This looks very natural and subtle, but make your eyes still stand out a bit more. If you really want to go for a natural look you can also just bring this color to the inner corners of your eyes, to highlight them.
- Highlighting your cupid bones is also a must when you want to impress boys, because this gives the illusion of fuller lips. And you can use that same champagne colored eyeshadow for it.
- Well, mascara is something boys have to learn to deal with. So wear as much as you want! Because this makes your eyes look a lot bigger, and we all want cute bambi eyes, right?
- For lips you shouldn't go with a too obvious color. Go for a your-lips-but-better-color. Or just wear a lip balm and leave your lips in there natural state.

These were all the tips I have for you. Hopefully you're able to impress that boy you like now!
