Step 1. Start with a clean face

Ideally, you had already removed your make-up the night before, to give your skin some well-deserved rest! If not, cleanse your face with a soap-free product.

Step 2. Dab some moisturizer onto face skin

Do this first thing in the morning to give your skin time to absorb it well. For perfectly even coverage, choose a cream with the same basic ingredients as your foundation: oil-based or water-based.

Step 3. After your skin is no longer "wet" to the touch, start applying foundation

  • Use a foundation or moisturizer tinted with your skin color (some people prefer to use a slightly lighter or warmer color than their natural skin color to even out their complexion or look brighter. Experiment to find the hue. You can also mix and match more colors. When you are in the shop or perfumery to buy foundation, remember that neon lights can alter colors.)
  • Start tapping the foundation into areas that need more coverage, such as around the eyes, sides of the nose, etc. There is no need to use a separate "corrector"! They are usually too dense and heavy.
  • Now blend the foundation well all over the face, perhaps going over the "problem areas" to perfect the base.
  • Remember to blend down on the jaws and neck to avoid the "mask" effect.

Step 4. Apply compact or loose powder evenly to the foundation

Do not use a lot, and apply it by pressing with the brush, and then remove the excess. This way you will avoid damaging the base.

The thin layer of powder will serve for better application than other powder makeups, such as blush and eyeshadow

Step 5. For natural eye makeup, choose a neutral eyeshadow, such as a taupe, or a burgundy, that matches the natural color of certain people's eyelids

Swipe the eyeshadow on the upper lids upwards, right under the browbone. Both of these colors (especially the dove gray) look good on everyone, and they are also easy to "tread" for a more defined look.

Step 6. For a natural, daytime look, line your eyes with brown or dark brown eyeliner

Choose a marker and waterproof eyeliner, so the application will be easier and will not smudge all day!

  • For perfect eyeliner application, you should try to run it all over your lashes. The best way to do this is to stand in the mirror, raise your eyebrows, open your eyes wide and try to close them at the same time.
  • Apply the eyeliner on the upper eyelid, while on the lower one make only a "shadow effect", from the outer corner of the eyes inwards up to ¾.
  • Blend the eyeliner with your fingers, or blend it with an eye shadow of the same color.

Step 7. Apply mascara

Start as close as possible to the base of the lashes, then work your way up to the tips in a "zig-zag" motion to prevent lumps and achieve a full, natural effect.

Step 8. To apply the blush, choose a warm but natural color, then pick up some with the brush then beat it to make the excess fall off before applying

Step 9. Extra step for a glowing skin effect:

apply a light swipe of light yellow illuminating powder (similar to an illuminating eyeshadow) on the cheekbones, temples, under the arch of the eyebrows and in the inner corner of the eyes. The effect should be VERY subtle; remember to tap the brush to remove excess product and you should get the right degree of lighting, not a disco makeup.

Step 10. Finally, apply a lipstick that is similar to the natural color of your lips, maybe just a little pinker or warmer, or even just a clear gloss - plum and gold-containing shades make your teeth look whiter., and they are a great choice as a gloss

Advice

  • Don't apply too thick a layer of mascara.
  • Wait for the moisturizer to be fully absorbed into your skin before moving on to foundation.
  • Try not to wear so much foundation that you darken your face (unless that's what you wanted to do.
  • Try to apply your makeup evenly.
