Preparing your canvas
You want your skin to be flawless when you step out, right? And in order to achieve that radiant look, you need to do a few things. Firstly, take care of your skin, by taking steps to remove impurities, exfoliate dead cells and lock in the moisture. If you already have a good skincare regime, follow that. If not, go through these steps to have clear skin.
Cleansing
Wash your face with a natural cleanser. If possible, soak a cotton pad in a soothing lotion and let it stay on your skin for 10 minutes to reduce puffiness and close pores. Clean it and use a clean towel to dry up your face. This will be your foundation for even-toned, flawless skin.
Exfoliate
Using a gentle scrub, such as a sugar scrub or an exfoliating mask, remove the dead cells to reveal new healthy cells. This gives your skin a radiant and even look.
Tone
Use an astringent to remove oils and residue. This also provides a smooth base for makeup. Use a cotton ball to apply toner to your face and throat.
Moisturize
Follow the toner with a good moisturizer to lock in the moisture. This decreases wrinkles and makes your skin look fresh and young.
Creating flawless base
After preparing the skin, it is time to create the base. This is a very important step. It has to be done carefully. There are many makeup products to create the base. Choose the right one for your skin tone.
Primer
Primer helps to make the makeup look flawless. There is a suitable primer available for all skin types. Choose the one that is suitable for your skin tone. Apply a small amount and spread it evenly on the face.
Foundation
Choose a foundation that matches your skin tone and gives a dewy finish to the skin. Wear the right shade of foundation. Make sure the color is just a little bit lighter than the color of your skin. Wear a few drops on the skin and blend it with the help of a brush or fingertips.
Concealer
If you have any dark spots or dark circles, then dab on some concealer. The concealer shade should be lighter than that of the foundation. Blend it well to hide the dark spots, scars, blemishes, dark circles and acne.
Setting powder
Apply some setting powder to keep the makeup put on for a long time.
Sculpting and highlighting
Highlighting and sculpting can make a huge difference to your look. It is an advanced method that modifies your facial features. This helps to portray a perfect face shape.
Bronzer
For those with fair skin tones, the last step will be to apply a bronzer to your face. Start applying from the forehead and sweep the bronzer gently to your face. Now apply the bronzer on the jawline, across your cheeks, under your chin and your neck. Do not forget the upper portion of your ear. Blend the bronzer well with your fingertips. This will give you a sun-kissed glow. But be careful, do not apply too much bronzer, as it can leave a dirty smudge.
Blush
Apply blush on your cheeks. If you have a light skin tone, choose a blush that is light peach in colour. Use a shade that is one or two shades darker than your natural skin tone. This gives you a beautiful glow. Apply it in the centre of your cheekbone and start blending it towards the temples of your eyes.
Contour
Apply the contouring products onto your cheekbones, sides of your nose, jaw line and forehead. This will give your face a slimming effect.
Highlighter
Apply some highlighting powder or cream to your forehead, chin, nose and cheeks. Dab a little more powder or cream on your cheekbones, brow bone and inner corner of the eye. The highlighter should be one or two shades lighter than the shade of your skin tone. This will give a glowing effect to your face.
Eye makeup
Applying eye makeup can really transform the look. Eyes are like a beautiful window that opens up to a new world. Dress up your eyes to bring a mesmerizing effect to your face.
Eye shadow
Apply eye shadow. You can wear two shades of eye shadow, which are in the same color tone. Apply the darker shade from the lid up to the crease of your eyes. And apply the lighter shade just above the darker shade. This will give a beautiful look to your eyes.
Eyeliner
You can apply black eyeliner in a thinner line on the top lash line. To make your eyes more popping and dramatic, apply black eyeliner on the upper lash line and extend it beyond the corner of your eyes. You can even make it thicker. But if you do not want a smoky effect, then use the thinner one.
Mascara
Applying mascara is a wonderful idea to add extra drama to your eyes. This will make your eyes pop out. Be sure that you apply the mascara in a thin coat, because it gets thicker after drying. Use a clean mascara brush to avoid any clump.
Eyebrows
You can tweeze your eyebrow to make it sharp and clean. If you do not want to cut it, then fill up the bald patches with a brow pencil or a brow shadow. You can also enhance it by applying a gel to your eyebrow.
Eyelash
You can apply fake eyelashes if you wish. Wear the kind of eyelash that suits your eye shape.
Perfecting Your Pout
After doing the eye make-up, it is time to enhance your pout. Apply a lip balm to keep the lips moisturized. If you have dry or chapped lips, then exfoliate the lips by using a lip scrub. Then, some lip balm is added to keep them soft and smooth.
Lip liner
If you want a bold pout, then apply a bold lip liner. If you have a thinner lip, then it is a wonderful idea to wear a lip liner. Choose a lip liner that is one or two shades darker than your lip colour. This will give you a fuller look.
Lipstick
Choose the lip color as per your desire. If you want to keep the look simple, then wear a light color lipstick. Apply lip gloss to give glossy finish.
Finishing touch
Lock in your look with a setting spray. It keeps your makeup in place and gives your skin a fresh, dewy finish.
