Girls are very conscious about make up because beauty is her basic step to look fresh and pretty overall. Ensure that makeup should cover blemishes, define your bone structure and highlight your pretty eyes without making you look.
So, here are some super easy steps that you can follow and look gorgeous.
Step 1: Hydrate your Skin
The first step to a good makeup routine is to moisturize, so the makeup can go on flawlessly, and best way is to prime it with a moisturizer that make two formulas, one for dry skin and one for oily skin. It’s lightweight and it makes your look flawless.
Step 2: Hide Dark Circles
- Try a creamy concealer to cover your dark circles, in a shade that matches your skin tone.
- Too white circles under eyes look like you wore goggles while tanning.
- Apply in little stripes with a concealer brush.
- Then blend using your ring finger for the light touch, and don’t tug on delicate under eye areas.
Expert tip: To get at fine lines, use the point of brush and always think of pressing the product into the skin, rather than rubbing or brushing it on.
Step 3: Base Perfection
To get even skin tone, use a foundation stick. It’s easy and gives plenty precise application. Using the stick like a giant marker, draw thick lines down cheekbones, the sides of nose and above brows, and blend with your fingers. Before blending, use two/ three shades darker stick in all the same places for a streak-free glow. Mix both colors together over your face and down onto your neck using your fingers, the heat from your hands will warm up the foundation and glide.
Expert tip: If you want lighter coverage, rub moisturizer on your hands before you blend for a sheer, perfect and dewy finish.
Step 4: Conceal Blemishes
- If a mark is still poking through, just go back and hide it with an extra layer of concealer.
- Use the same kind as in step one, or try a cover-up that contains salicylic acid, which helps shrink blemishes while it camouflages.
- Dab the concealer with a sponge and conceal all the dimensions of the blemish.
- If it’s really red, make sure it matches the rest of face and when you’re finished, set it with powder until its matte all around.
Expert tip: Before applying concealer, apply a spot solution. Always use a product that has salicylic acid that will treat a blemish; it will seal off the pimple. When you wash your face off, the acne will look better.
Step 5: Brighten Cheeks with Color
Instead of shading and sculpting cheekbones with a brush and powder, and try a cream blush instead for that yield blowy effect. Apply to the apples of your cheeks. “The fast way to find yours: Smile!” Then blend the color up toward your temples with fingers. Bright, bold hues like the berry shade can look natural, but if you’re color-shy, build the intensity by gradually layering it.
Expert tip: Defuse a silly situation by applying a bit of foundation over top instead of washing it all off and starting from scratch.
Step 6: Eye Base
For pro-looking eye makeup in no time, apply a shimmery cream shadow from lash lines to brow bones using pointer finger. If your skin is fair, try a silvery white shade. For medium to dark skin tones, try for a champagne color instead. To get an extra bright-eyed effect, dot the color onto the inner corners of your eyes too.
Expert tip: If your lids tend to be on the oilier side, use a primer all over them, first to help eye shadow last.
Step 7: Make Your Eyes Clear
Use bronze and gold cream shadows to give eyes more depth. Apply the bronze shade in your creases with a flat shadow brush for more control, and use fingers to smudge it down over the lids.
To make everything budge-proof, set the cream with a matching powder eyeshadow. Pressing the eye shadow in, will build pigment evenly and prevent eyeshadow from falling onto your face
Finally, to make eyes look even bigger, pat some gold cream shadow onto the centers of lids and run a little along your lower lash lines with a small brush.
Step 8: Add Some Definition
For more intensity, draw a brown liner pencil on your upper lash lines and smudge it upward with your shadow brush.
Then set with the same powder eyeshadow used in the previous step. Finish off with two coats of mascara, on top and bottom, focusing on the outer lashes with the top of the wand.
Expert tip: To give eyes an even bigger view, use an eyelash curler before you apply mascara. Start as close to the roots of your lashes as possible and gently pulse the curler forward bit by bit to the ends.
Step 9: Touch Up Your Brows
“The biggest difference makers are your eyebrows. They can change your entire face.” Lightly fill in any gaps and use a disposable mascara wand to brush the hairs up.
Expert tip: Use multiple small strokes rather than thick lines to create a full, natural brow, by using natural eye brow shape as a guide.
Step 10: Get Lush Lips
Before applying any product, soften chapped lips by buffing them with a damp washcloth and following up with lip balm. Let it sink in well, and blot with a tissue if it feels slippery. Then, for a less-is more look, dab on a strawberry-color lipstick. Apply it to the center of your mouth, where color tends to wear off first. Blend the lipstick out over your lips. For night look, add a layer of gloss for extra shine or go for a bolder lipstick.
Expert tip: If you’re going to rock a bolder lip, apply concealer all over your lips before you apply lipstick. It will make your lipstick last for hours. Like priming an eyelid, lightly dab the concealer onto your lips with a sponge or your fingers. Blot with tissue, then apply lip liner all over, the dust on translucent powder, and follow up another blot before applying lipstick.
