Before applying your makeup, it is essential that you prepare your skin in order to build a foundation. Before starting your makeup, spend some time prepping your skin with a high-quality moisturiser. Whether you are planning on applying a light layer of foundation or going all-out on makeup, primer is a crucial first step.
It is vital that you begin with a primer so that your foundation looks more natural and flawless. One of the ways to make sure that makeup stays on throughout the day is by setting primer first with a powder, then applying your foundation.
If you already have some makeup on your face, then you would have to take it off to achieve the perfect look. You can wash off the makeup by using a gentle cleanser. Then you can apply a mask to help your skin relax.
When applying eye makeup, it is common to get some fallout that makes a mess underneath the eyes. To avoid this, some makeup artists prefer to first do eye makeup and then focus on the rest of the face.
In the end, it all comes down to how you prefer to work on your skin. Some people love to spend more time doing eye makeup to create that perfect look. It can take them even more than 10 to 15 mins to try different eyeshadows, layer them on top of each other and then blend them well to create a natural look.
If you are one of them and want to take your fashion game to the next level, then look for the best coloured contact lenses to look more stylish. Halloween contact lenses are also a great option for creating your very own Halloween look. For a dramatic effect, you can wear false eyelashes and put on tonnes of mascara to look like a fashion diva.
Once you are satisfied with your eye makeup, then apply foundation with a makeup sponge or brush. Take a moist sponge and spread the product evenly all over your face, and blend it well to get the natural finish. In case there is some pigmentation or darker spots on your skin that you want to cover, put some concealer on those spots to create a beautiful base. Use your finger or a makeup blender for a natural finish. You can use a makeup remover or baby oil to remove the makeup residue.
Next comes the eyebrows. You can keep this step nice and simple. Use an eye pencil to fill in any gaps in them, and add in a natural tint so that the colour matches your new hair colour. You can apply a brow gel afterwards so that the shape remains intact.
Then to add in some colour, you can either use a pinkish or brownish blush on your cheeks. You can also use a bronzer for contouring and then as an eye shadow and blush. Just make sure that the entire makeup doesn’t look dull. For a tanner look, it might be a good idea but then put on some highlighter for extra glow.
Your lips are usually the second last step for completing the look. The shade depends on what dress you are wearing and the natural colour of your lips. For darker lips, brown and dark pink shades tend to look more natural, while lighter skin tones can use lighter colours to go for a casual look.
The last step is to use a finishing spray to set your makeup so that it stays there longer and your skin looks flawless. Try not to touch your skin a lot, as it will mess up your makeup and ruin your perfect look.
