Cosmetics are not merely a way of beautifying the face; however, they are a way by which people can Serge and exemplify a feeling within themselves. Often, it is understandable that makeup is not easy, especially for those who are starting to apply them and therefore mastering the basics is an important consideration. The following article is quite detailed on simple ways used to make the makeup process less complicated and will enable you to accomplish the desired makeup look.

1. Prep Your Skin:

There are certain important steps one needs to follow to make sure that the makeup product stays on and lasts as long as possible. Skin care starts with washing your face to clear out any grime, oils, or other contaminants. After that you should apply a lightweight lotion as a moisturizer to your skin, this enables you to apply make-up. Besides, don’t leave your skin prone to peeling or excessive oil: use a primer to reduce pore size and extend the wear of your makeup.

2. Apply Foundation:

The foundation is the preliminary step in makeup, where your face is initially prepped and where you get the base upon which you’d build up the rest of your makeup look where your skin tone is made to appear more uniform. Before applying the foundation, select a colour that complements your skin tone, as well as the type of the foundation, such as liquid, powder or cream. Applying the foundation with your brush, sponge or fingers, make sure to apply it on areas such as under the eye and the chin and apply lightly on the forehead and nose. Make sure to make the blending at the jawline and the neck adequate to ensure it does not form any patches.

3. Conceal Imperfections:

You’ll always want a concealer in your makeup kit as this is what you use to conceal spots, pigmentation, dark circles, and the likes. An excellent concealer is one which is lighter than the foundation and should be selected to cover the area under the eyes. Les applications sont esquissées avec un petit pinceau de lyrisme et par fines touches de camouflage et d’une manière imperceptible lubrifiée dans la peau pour être assimilée par la poudre déposeée sur les zones sélectionnées.

4. Set with Powder:

For your makeup to last the whole day, you should apply your foundation and concealer using a powder – either a translucent one or one with a slight hue that matches the colour of the foundation you used. This step aids in reducing the oil on the skin’s surface, hence minimizing oil production which could lead to the formation of extra shine on the skin, it also keeps the makeup from settling or fading. Close your compact using the fluffy brush and then using circular motions, blow off the excess powder while tapping the brush lightly on the face area, particularly the T-zone.

5. Enhance Your Eyes:

Because eyes are the central focus of makeup designs, it is imperative to accentuate them properly. Begin by applying an eye shadow base that offers grip and at the same time helps in extending the time of eye shadow application. Next, select the colour of the eyeshadows that will suit best the colour of your eyes and the style you have in mind. Take the lighter shade of the eye shadow and apply it to the inner corner of the wearer’s eye, then use the darker shade and apply it to the outer corner of the eye and use a blending brush to blend the two shades to achieve a gradual colour transition. Complete the look with eyeliner for shaping and outlining of the eyes followed by mascara.

6. Define Your Brows:

Perfect eyebrows are the crowning touch because, indeed, eyes are the ornaments of the face and they put the finishing touch to makeup. It cannot be overstressed how important eyebrows are to facial beauty, you shouldn’t use only eye-shadow but should use a brow pencil, powder or gel, to fill the spaces and neaten your arches naturally. Use a mascara wand to comb through your eyebrows to mix the product and keep them in position.

7. Add Color to Your Cheeks:

The secret that will leave you with a natural and rosy face is to apply blush on the cheekbones, more specifically on the apples. When selecting a blush shade, make sure to select the one that matches the skin tone to the lightest of the shades such as peach, rose or bronze. You muster a smile and with a light hand, pick up the blush and apply it starting at the apples of your cheeks and sweeping it up towards the temples.

8. Finish with Lipstick:

DO NOT overlook lip makeup by applying lipstick or lip gloss to complete the makeup appearance. Choose the lipstick shade that best fits the emotion you want to express or the look you want to achieve, ranging from red, pink, or even nude. Cover your lips with the lipstick from the central part outwards to ensure you apply an even layer of the lipstick. To achieve a beautiful lip look, line your lips with a lip liner to avoid the consequences of lip feathering.
