For this you just need:
PRIMER.
FOUNDATION.
CONCEALER.
CONTOUR.
HIGHLIGHTER.
BRUSHES [most importantly].
STEP 1. BASE:
First of you have to start with your base makeup.
Start with a primer. If you have oily skin then you
should use gel-based primer and if you have dry skin you should use cream-based
primer.
Most people don’t use the primer. They directly start
with the foundation. You should not do that. Primer moisturizes your skin and
it is an important step of makeup, do not skip this please guys.
If you don’t have a primer then you can use your
regular moisturizer. That will help.
STEP
It’s time for the foundation. Apply a foundation, which
matches your skin tone. For application, I recommend you to use beauty-blender. You can use
a brush if you like. If you want high coverage then you should use a brush, but
you really need to blend that stuff. You should know blending is the key in our
makeup world.
Guys do not forget foundation must match your skin
tone.
For liquid foundation, you can use a brush or a beauty
blender, but if you are using a foundation stick then you should use a beauty
blender. The brush will not work when you are using a foundation stick.
I prefer a foundation stick. It is really easy to work
with.
STEP 3. CONCEALER:
Concealer is really important, well actually
everything is important in life. Okay so, apply the concealer in your undereye
area, onto your nose bridge, and onto your forehead, onto your chin and around
your mouth region. And you can conceal those areas which you want to.
For the application, you can use a beauty blender or a
concealer brush. Blend it well guys blend it like crazy [just kidding, be
gentle].
Concealer must be two or three shades lighter than
your foundation shade.
STEP 4. CONTOURING:
Now the thing we were talking about contouring.
If you are using the contouring palette then you
should use a small foundation brush for application. Apply the product on the
sides of your nose bridge, feel the cheekbone and draw a line just under it,
not too high not too low, just follow your beautiful cheekbone. Onto your
forehead where the forehead ends and hairline starts and on the jawline, just
feel your jawline and apply the product.
You can also use a foundation, but it should be one or
two shades darker than your foundation.
If you are using a contouring stick you can apply the
stick directly or you can use the brush and just apply it as I told you in the
last para.
Remember, blend it really well, and for blending you
should use a beauty blender.
STEP 5. HIGHLIGHTING:
Well, highlighting is very interesting, I love it. If
you are using a powder highlighter then it will be easy just take a fan brush
and apply the highlighter just above your blush or on the high part of your
cheekbone, on your nose bridge and on your cupids bow that looks so cute.
If you are using liquid highlighter then you should
use your fingers, your fingers will do the magic and blend it. Make sure it
looks natural. Blend it with your blush it will look so beautiful or else it
will come out so horrifying.
