Step-by-step makeup application
1) Complexion
To start, apply tinted moisturizer to your entire face. You can also use an unscented BB cream that’s non-comedogenic. BB cream is great to correct, enhance and even out the complexion.
2) Imperfections
Choose a liquid concealer that matches your skin tone. Gently dab small dots of the product to the under-eye area. Blend with your fingers using a light tapping motion. Be very gentle: the under-eye area is fragile .
Good to know!
You can also use concealer to mask blemishes .
3) Cheeks
With a large brush, take a bit of powdered blush and apply it to your cheekbones. Don’t use too much or you’ll end up looking slightly clown-like. You can also apply bronzing powder to the parts of your face that naturally attract light: your forehead, nose, chin and cheeks. This will give you a sun-kissed glow.
4) Eyes
Using the eyebrow pencil, outline and fill in your eyebrows and blend in the colour using the brush. Then, take the eye shadow pencil and run it over your eyelid. To brighten your eyes, apply a touch of white eye shadow to the inner corner of your eye. Add a bit of lengthening mascara, and you’re done.
5) Lips
Finish off your makeup routine with a bit of lip gloss . Congratulations! You have just completed Makeup 101!
