How To Apply Your Makeup


Introduction

Makeup isn’t just a must-have for every woman. It’s an art form in and of itself that takes years to perfect its skill. To make the most out of your makeup application, you’ll need the right tools at your disposal.

Step-by-Step Makeup Application

1) Determine the purpose of your makeup.

Is it for the office? Or a special party? Think about the occasion and determine your areas of focus. For example, if you’re working from home, you’ll want to keep your makeup more natural. If you’re going out clubbing or hitting the beach, you’ll want to focus more on highlights and dramatic eyes.

2) Begin with a clean face.

If you’re using a cream or liquid foundation, you’ll want to apply it using your fingertips rather than a sponge/brush. This will help you build the coverage you desire without leaving any streaks.

3) Apply concealer to any problem areas, such as redness around the nose or under the eyes and other areas that are prone to blemishes. Let it completely dry before moving on.

4) Use a powder foundation of your choice.

If you’re going with a powder, it is best to start with your face completely dry. The essence of Mineral Powder makes a good powder foundation.

5) Lightly dust a medium-colored powder over the face.

Use a brush to do this, not your fingers. Apply this in gentle strokes so that it doesn’t look too sparkly.

6) Apply Foundation.

Next, use your brush to apply a light foundation of your choice–make sure it doesn’t end up looking too heavy. Outline the entire face with this along the cheekbones, jawline, and chin before blending in with the back of your hand.

7) Reapply powder over the entire face for extra coverage and to set concealer.

8) Makeup base color is applied on cheeks and under eyes first followed by lips when needed.

Conclusion

When applying makeup, always use a mirror so that you can see exactly what you’re doing and if you made any obvious mistakes. To avoid getting heavy-looking makeup or simply looking too pale, it’s best to try lighter shades of foundation before choosing a color.
