Have you ever wondered how to get that perfect look with makeup? Knowing a few tricks can really help!
1. Use good face cleaners. Wash your face.
Washing your face will make your skin look perfectly clean. This cleans your face well and gets rid of dead skin, blackheads, oil, and dirt. Make sure you don't clean your face with aggressive cleaners or soaps. Use a cleanser that is complementary for your skin, for advice go to your dermatologist or ask for advice in a store where they sell beauty supplies.
2. Find a good moisturizer.
Apply a moisturizer. Pick a moisturizer that fits with your skin type
3. Use a good primer, any brand will do.
Add a foundation primer. Foundation primers are used to set make up (foundation) so that it lasts longer.You can find several in drug stores or specialized beauty stores.
4. Choose your foundation.
If you already have flawless skin (no freckles, blemishes, discoloration, or uneven tone) you should use a tinted moisturizer. This will add a bit of color without looking cake-like. If you want to cover a bit more, use a foundation.This is one product that you should splurge on.
To get the right shade apply some near your cheek in natural daylight and make sure to test a bunch of them to find the right one for you. Ask one of the professionals in the store to help you find the right color.
5. Buy a good concealer.
Search for a concealer close to your skin tone, making sure you don't choose one that is too dark or too light. If you can't tell, ask for advice to ensure you get the right color.
6. Set the concealer with setting powder.
Choose a loose (mineral) powder and dab it on the concealed parts of your face with a stippling brush.
7. Apply a bronzer and/or blush.
Choose a bronzer that isn't too dark for your skin color otherwise you will end up looking like a clown. Use an angled, hard brush or a stippling brush to apply the bronzer, work in a cross on your face (forehead, nose and cheeks). To make your face look slimmer apply the bronzer right under the apples on your cheeks, to find the apples smile and apply the bronzer in the hollow of your cheeks.
8. Apply eye makeup.
To make your eyeshadow last, apply an eye shadow primer first. For natural eye looks choose a natural color.
9. Moisturize your lips by applying chapstick.
Use a lip primer to fill up any creases and apply a lip liner, followed by applying a lipstick in the same color as the lip liner and finish with a gloss if necessarily.
