To ensure a smooth canvas, cleanse and hydrate your skin before applying makeup. Use a primer to hide flaws and let your makeup last longer.
Choose a foundation that matches your skin tone and apply it evenly using your fingers, a makeup brush, or a sponge. To eliminate sharp lines, blend the foundation well along the jawline and hairline.
Conceal any imperfections, dark circles, or discolouration with concealer. Use your finger or a tiny brush to carefully mix the concealer into the foundation.
To define your cheekbones, jawline, and forehead, use a matte bronzer or contour powder.
To give a delicate glow, apply a highlighter to the high points of your face, such as the cheekbones, bridge of the nose, and cupid's bow.
To ensure your eye makeup stays in place, start by applying an eyeshadow primer. To add depth and dimension to the eyelids, mix light, medium, and dark eyeshadow tones.
Apply eyeliner close to the lash line to define the eyes, and then add drama with mascara or artificial lashes.
Fill in your brows using a brow pencil or powder that matches the color of your hair. To achieve the look of natural hair, use short, feathery strokes.
For a healthy flush of color, apply blush to the apples of your cheeks. To create warmth and dimension, softly sweep bronzer around the cheeks, temples, and jawline.
Exfoliate your lips to remove any dry skin, then moisturize with a lip balm. To prevent lipstick from bleeding, use a lip liner to outline your lips.
For long-lasting color, apply lipstick with a brush or directly from the tube, and blot with a tissue.
