Step 2: Apply a Makeup Primer

This step helps your makeup last longer. Choose one that suits your skin type, and gently apply it, focusing on the T-zone where you tend to get oily. It will help smooth the skin and minimize the look of pores for a smoother base makeup to follow.

Step 3: Choose the Right Foundation

Pick a foundation that matches your skin tone. Squeeze some onto the back of your hand, and use a makeup brush or beauty sponge to gently apply it to your face. Don’t forget your chin and neck to avoid any color mismatch. Foundation’s job is to give you a flawless, even skin tone.

Step 4: Conceal Imperfections

For pimples, dark circles or other minor blemishes, don’t forget concealer products! Apply concealer gently to the areas you want to cover, then gently pat it away with your fingertips. This will cover the blemishes without looking heavy.

Step 5: Set with Powder for a Natural Finish

Lightly dust your face with setting powder, focusing on your T-zone. This will not only make your makeup last, but also give your face a softer and more natural look. Remember, give it a light pat and don’t apply it too thick!

Step 6: Define Your Eyebrows

Eyebrows are the “frame” of the makeup! Use an eyebrow pencil to gently fill in and shape your brows. If you want a more natural effect, you can use an eyebrow brush to avoid drawing too rigid.

Step 7: Add Eye Makeup

Eye shadow is an important step in eye makeup. Choose a suitable eyeshadow color and apply it to your eyelids. Remembering to apply the darker color at the end of your eyes, and the lighter color at the head of your eyes. This will make your eyes look more layered. Next, draw a thin eyeliner with an eye pencil to give your eyes more dimension. Finally, brush on mascara and curl your lashes to make your eyes shine.

Step 8: Apply Blush for a Healthy Glow

Blush can make your whole person look more alive. Smile, lightly brush a little blush on the on the apples of your cheeks, and then use a makeup brush to smudge it out. Choose a color that suits your skin tone to maintain a natural, fresh look.

Step 9: Finish with Lip Makeup

The last step, of course, is lip makeup! Choose a lipstick of your choice and apply it on your lips. For a more polished look, use a lip liner to define the edges, then apply your lipstick. This will give your lips a fuller, more defined shape.

Makeup is a creative job and everyone has a different style, so don’t be afraid to experiment! If you feel that a certain step doesn’t suit you, adjust it. Remember that makeup isn’t just for covering up, it’s for showing off your own beauty!
