People think that makeup is only for those who work in the fashion or entertainment industry. But actually makeup could be used to enhance your features and camouflage skin imperfections. However, applying makeup should be done well in order to project your best features. If you want to apply makeup like a PRO it is important to start mastering the basics first.
Face
There are a lot of makeup primers nowadays that you could use to make your makeup last all throughout the day, a good one to try is Smashbox Face Primer. Next, apply a concealer that is a bit lighter than your natural skin tone. Usually yellow-based concealers work best for most skin types. Then apply a foundation that matches your skin. I just apply only on key areas like on your forehead, on your chin and your cheeks. Then spread it across your face. Use powder to set everything in place. A little blush on the apples of your cheeks, and a bit of bronzer makes your face glowing already.
Eyes
Like for the face, you could use an eyeshadow base called Urban Decay Primer Potion which makes your eyeshadow brighter and lasts longer. Normally we use a tapered brush to apply eyeshadow and probably a smaller brush at the corner of your eyes to blend a darker shade, creating smokey eyes. With the use of a small angled brush, you could apply eyeliner at your eyes’ waterline and on top of your eyeshadow lids near the lashes. Then apply two coats of mascara.
Lips
In choosing lipstick, it usually depends if it is for daytime or evening looks. Normally we use more neutral colors for work and brighter or more colorful lips for night. You could also use a lip pencil to define the shape of your lips. And to finish it off, dab some lip gloss on the middle of your lips to add a hint of shine. Now you are officially perfect and have that beauty
