Barbie is always perfect at any time of the day. Follow this tutorial for flawless makeup.
Steps
Step 1. Start with a clean canvas
Start by removing your makeup if you don't have clear skin. Wash your face gently to remove all impurities, bacteria and chemical residues. Rinse off the cleanser and dry your face gently. This way, you will have a clean and fresh face, a kind of barrier that will keep your makeup longer.
Step 2. Apply a good moisturizer, preferably with sunscreen (SPF), to protect your skin from the sun's rays
Massage it into your face in circular motions. Apply the leftover one to your hands and neck. Let it sit for a few minutes so that it absorbs completely.
Step 3. Use the primer
Primer is key to achieving this look. It is in fact a make-up base, it smoothes the skin and makes it uniform, and makes the make-up last all day.
Step 4. Apply foundation
Barbie always has perfect skin. So, applying foundation is an essential step. If it's summer and it's very hot, opt for a tinted cream. Choose your favorite foundation and make sure it is right for your skin color and tone. Pour some of the product onto the back of your hand, making sure it is clean. Use a brush to pick it up. A flat bristle brush will help you apply the product evenly and evenly, but if you prefer a foundation brush, that's fine as long as you don't use your fingers. Applying the foundation with your fingers will not give a smooth result, as the product can accumulate in certain areas.
Step 5. Use the concealer if you need it
You decide whether to apply this product before or after the foundation. The concealer, as the name suggests, corrects small imperfections and blemishes on the face, such as dark circles. In many cases, it is one of the cosmetics par excellence. You can buy many shades of concealers, even purple and green. The various versions even out the complexion of the skin. Eg:
- The green concealer neutralizes red spots on the skin, so if you have pimples or red patches, this concealer will cover the redness.
- The lavender concealer softens yellow tones and corrects dark circles.
-
The yellow concealer covers dark, purplish marks like bruises and dark circles.
- The colored concealer must adapt to the color of the imperfections. For example, if your blemish is red, it needs to be juxtaposed with the opposite color in the color wheel. The opposite of red is green. Same thing for purple-yellow and vice versa.
- So if you need to cover imperfections, this product is the perfect solution, and should be applied with a soft concealer or foundation brush. If you don't need to correct your skin tone, you can use a regular concealer, similar to a foundation. In this case, you need to find a color that works well for your complexion and that's it. Remember to use a brush to apply the concealer.
Step 6. Once you've created your makeup base, apply translucent powder to set foundation and concealer
Step 7. Thin your nose
Barbie has a tiny nose, so use a neutral brown eyeshadow if you like and apply it to the sides of the nose bridge. Use a fan brush to blend the eyeshadow, this way the nose will look more natural.
Step 8. Use eye primer
Now that you are done with your makeup and you have a perfect complexion, you can move on to the eyes. It is preferable to create eye makeup first, so that you can eliminate the eyeshadow powder that falls on the face without ruining the concealer and foundation. If you want your eyeshadow to last all day, apply eye primer first. This product, among other things, highlights the color of the eyeshadow and protects the eyes from chemicals that can be found in other products. Apply the primer on the eyelids up to the browbone, and even slightly in the inner corner of the eye, then blend everything. If you don't want to buy a primer, you can mix foundation with moisturizer - it will work like a real primer.
Step 9. Apply eye makeup
- After applying the primer, spread a light pink eyeshadow on the mobile eyelid, blending the color well. If you want, you can choose a bright eyeshadow. If you don't want to use pink, you can try different colors, such as light blue or lavender, or whatever shade you think is good for your skin color.
- Apply a white pencil in the lower line. This way, the area will light up and make your eyes look bigger and more vibrant.
- Use a liquid black eyeliner on the upper lid, at the lash line, and don't forget the tab at the end for cat eyes.
- Apply white shimmer eyeshadow to the inner corner of the eye to draw attention to the area and illuminate it more.
- Apply false lashes. False eyelashes make the eyes more expressive and beautiful. In addition, they are an alternative to having long and dark lashes. Apply them as close to the real ones as possible and then fold them. This way, the real and false lashes will come together and look more natural. If you want an intense look, apply some mascara after using the curler.
Step 10. Switch to the lips
- Apply lip balm to nourish and soften your lips.
- Color your lips. Apply pink lipstick, preferably light. To give you some advice, MAC's Viva Glam pink created in collaboration with Lady Gaga is perfect, but there are tons of light pink lipsticks to choose from. If you don't want pink lipstick, go for a nude one.
- Barbie always has perfect lips. To emphasize this feature, you can apply concealer around the mouth, focusing on the Cupid's bow. Then, blend it very well, otherwise you will go around with a dark line around the lips.
- Gloss. After applying the lipstick, choose a similar gloss and apply it on top.
Step 11. To complete the look, apply a pink, peach or nude blush on the cheeks
In this way, your perfect look will be emphasized even more and will give more color to the face. You can also contour if you want, but don't overdo it, or you'll ruin the Barbie look.
Step 12. Done
The perfect Barbie makeup is complete!
