Your makeup is not a mask. It is an art form and, most importantly, a form of expression. When you have creative freedom, you have the power to try different things and see what you like best. Because here it is: your makeup is an extension of your personality. Of course, each of us has a different style and preference, but the basics of nailing your makeup, whatever you want, are more or less the same.
Sometimes, smaller steps can make a big difference in the appearance of your appearance. We have researched a lot to help you accept your makeup. From professional makeup tricks to detailed analysis of the steps involved in the impeccable makeup application, read on to learn more.
Step To Applying Makeup Flawlessly
The key to a perfect base comes down to its preparation. I can’t emphasize life preparation enough because it makes your job easier and you don’t have to work hard to solve the problems your skin may already have.
The preparation involves cleaning, toning and moisturizing the face before putting on makeup. The following steps are infallible and if you still have five minutes left, you will become a professional in a short time. Let’s start the fun part now.
What You Need
- Primer
- Foundation
- Concealer
- Blush/Bronzer
- Powder
- Eyeshadow
- Eyeliner
- Mascara
- Lipstick/Gloss
Depending on your preferences, you can choose to skip products that you do not want to use. Either way, we have outlined a complete makeup routine step by step for you. Remember that it is important to know your skin type in order to choose the right products for your skin.
For example, if you have oily skin, water-based makeup is the best option for you. The beauties of dry skin can try oil-based formulas. And if you are someone with sensitive skin, there is always mineral makeup.
Step By Step Makeup Tutorial For Beginners
Part I: Reach an impeccable base
Step 1: Prime your face
The first step to any makeup look is to apply a primer. This will increase coverage, soften texture, minimize pores and increase makeup longevity. Whether you are going to run or sweat, a primer is a must.
L’Oreal Magique Base and Benefit Porefessional are excellent options for primers.
Step 2: Apply Foundation
Choose a base that matches your skin tone and apply it to primed skin with a damp brush or blender. Mix the product well on the face, jaw, and neck so that it does not look like an Oompa-Loompa. If you have stains or stains, you can always create more coverage for a uniform finish. Remember the golden rule: less is more. My friends, this is really the case with the foundation.
Maybelline’s Fit Me line has a variety of different base tones and is an excellent choice for liquid bases. In addition, the Bobbi Brown Foundation Stick works well for an incredibly natural finish.
Step 3: Time To Conceal
Apply the concealer in a slightly lighter shade than the skin tone to lighten and match the areas that need work. Using a concealer brush, apply the formula under the eyes in an inverted triangle and mix very, very well. Apply a bit of concealer over dark spots and other imperfections, making sure that you combine the edges well so that the concealer blends perfectly with its base.
Choose a liquid concealer for weightless coverage and a large area of your face, such as the eye area. Choose a compact or adhesive concealer for more solid coverage and smaller areas.
Step 4: Set Your Foundation
If you have normal skin, you may want to dust off your T zone. However, it is a good idea for the rest of your face to use a compact or hardener to seal the deal. Use a brush to apply the powder evenly on the face and neck.
It is easy to put a compact powder in the bag and a few touches throughout the day can keep the face dull.
Part II: Defining Your Features
Once you have your correct base, it is time to define and improve its beautiful features.
Step #1 Improve your eyes
Invest in a high-quality eyeliner and mascara that does not stain or smear.
- Using an eyeliner, align your upper waterline and the outer corners of the lower line. Use a brush to stain the product and avoid rough lines.
- Use an eyelash curler to curl the eyelashes.
- Apply a layer of mascara to instantly open your eyes and make it look more awake and bright.
- You can add a touch of neutral shadow on the eyelids for a complete appearance.
Step#2 Create Brows That Are On-Point
Adjusting the eyebrows adds structure to your face instantly. If you have naturally dark and well-defined eyebrows, you can skip this step. But if you have scattered eyebrows or scattered eyebrows, you can use an eyebrow pencil or an eyebrow cream to fill them.
- Choose a pencil or product that matches your eyebrows very well.
- Use short movements to create small hairs in the holes.
- Use a makeup brush to mix and brush the product evenly on the eyebrows for a natural appearance.
- Once you complete them, you can use an eyebrow gel to put them in place.
- You can also add some markers under the eyebrow arches to highlight them even more.
There are several products available in the market specifically for your eyebrows, such as eyebrow kits, pencils, and dual shapers.
Step#3 Add a touch of color to your face
Blush adds a blatant shine to your skin and makes it look fresh and healthy. Use a soft brush to apply blush to the cheekbones. Avoid mixing textures: if you are using a powder, use powder blush and if there is no powder, use a cream blush.
You can add a highlighter or highlighter touch to the cheekbones along the bridge of the nose and under the eyebrow bones for an attractive shine.
Step#4 Define your pout
Before putting something on your lips, moisten them with a little lip balm. Choose lip colors that complement the skin tone. If you want to use nude lipstick, find the right nude tone for your skin tone.
Voila! Your makeup is complete and you are ready to go out and rule! Wasn’t it that easy? With just a few steps, you can get this camera-ready look whenever you want. Depending on your needs, you can zoom up or down to suit the occasion and the atmosphere.
Here is the thing, however. There will be times when things go wrong. At times like this, it is always useful to have some tricks up your sleeve to correct mistakes. Let’s look at this very fast.
Tips: How To avoid and correct makeup mistakes
Foundation
First, don’t try to look fairer or darker. Use the exact base tone for your skin tone to avoid the first and one of the most common mistakes: the wrong base tone. Just no!
The correct way to choose the base tone is to take some of it at your fingertips and mix it with your chin or neckline. If you can’t see it when it’s well mixed, that’s your shadow. Always mix the product well on the face, neck and exposed chest to match the colors. If your hands are dark, you can also add some.
If you have the excess product on your face, clean it with a damp cloth and gently wipe it on the face to remove it. You can do the same in case of excess concealer.
Lip Liner
This is one of the most serious mistakes you can make. You must align the natural lining of your lips to add a definition. Don’t go with all the “Kylie Jenner” on your lips to make them look bigger. Use a neutral or eyeliner shade that is a brighter shade than the natural color of the lips.
If you wear a coat, take a makeup remover on a cotton pad and carefully remove excess product without altering the lipstick.
Supernatural Eyebrows
Be kind when placing your eyebrows so it doesn’t look like you literally drew them with a Sharpie! Use a natural-looking color on your face and make short, soft strokes to fill them.
Blush
If you exaggerate the blush, use its compact powder to correct the color. You don’t want to end up looking like a clown.
Lipstick
When you want to rinse your lipstick, take a handkerchief, fold it in half, place it between your upper and lower lips and kiss it.
Eyes makeup
When applying eyeshadow, remember not to extend it to the eyebrows. When applying eyeliner, keep the eyeliner as close as possible to the waterline to obtain the best appearance.
Ladies, we hope you have some of these tips written deep in your minds. We’ve covered several simple steps to help you get the right makeup the next time you want to play with different looks!
