subject: The basics of putting on makeup [print this page] To apply bronzer, take a thick brush, smile and then dab and smooth the bronzer at the apples of the cheeks. Finish off with lipstick. Lipstick should be coordinated with the color of an outfit. As a basic rule pink lipstick should not be worn with a red outfit, and red lipstick should be avoided when wearing a pink outfit. When in doubt about the amount of make-up, remember that less is more. Before and after the use of make-up, a face should be washed with facial cleanser, followed by toner, followed by moisturizer.
