Often I see a large number of females wearing makeup that is not right for their skin tones or textures, and too often these ladies are wearing far too much makeup! It is always good to go for a more natural look than to look to overdone or "fake."
For perfectly applied makeup every day, follow the easy 11 steps below for guaranteed beauty!
1. Start with sunscreen:
A fresh complexion is sexy and youthful. Starting with a clean face, apply sunscreen to your face and neck. Rain or shine, you should get in the habit of applying sunscreen every day in order to protect your skin. You can even apply moisturizer before applying your sunscreen. If you have oily skin, rinse face with warm water and pat dry before applying sunscreen. 2. Apply concealer:
Dot concealer with your ring finger to the spots that need it most (under the eye, along the nose, on the chin). Blend in by patting in, never rubbing, the concealer.
3. Apply foundation:
Apply a tinted moisturizer or foundation to your face, making sure to blend along the jawline so you don't have a tell-tale line.
4. Apply blush or bronzer:
Apply blush on the apples of your cheeks. If you want to appear sun-kissed, apply a bronzer as well.
5. Apply eyeliner:
Now that your face is set, it's time to make up your eyes. Apply eyeliner to your eyelids. There are many different ways to apply eyeliner. You can go for the basic eye, a smokey eye, a cat eye and much more. For a basic eye, simply apply liner to the upper lashes and the lower lashes, smudging along the lower so it doesn't look drawn on.
6. Apply concealer:
If you wear eyeshadow, be sure to set the eye first with an eyeshadow primer, otherwise the shadow will melt into your eyelids.
7. Apply eyeshadow:
Just as there are many ways to apply eyeliner, there are many eyeshadow looks you can experiment with. For a basic eye, simply apply a base shade on the lid of the eye. Apply a darker contouring shadow in the crease. Make sure to blend it all in well.
8. Curl those lashes:
Curl your lashes with an eyelash curler. You can blast your curler for 3 seconds with a hairdryer to make the curl hold better, just be sure to test the metal to ensure it's not too hot first.
9. Apply your mascara:
Apply mascara by wiggling the wand from the roots of your lashes on through to the ends.
10. Leave your lips for last:
Once you have your face made up you can see exactly what type of lip treatment you need. You can either fill in lips with lip liner and apply lip balm or gloss over it, or you can line lips first then apply lipstick. Some women opt for just gloss or balm.
11. Set your makeup:
Set your face with loose powder or a spritz of Evian spray.
After following these easy steps, you're good to go for a relaxed day out, a hectic working day, or a fabulous night out on the town!
