According to known makeup artists, moisturizing is the key. The better moisturized your skin is, the better it absorbs all the makeup products and makes your look flawless. You can use either your fav moisturizer or a primer, or even both.

The brows

If you find your brows to be the most complex step of your routine, it is best to start with them and then proceed with the rest. However, the step is optional, depending upon your preferences.

Foundation

Now, it is time for the foundation. You should choose the type that fits your skin color best.

If there are any dark spots to cover, then you should use some concealer too. It is best to use concealer after the foundation is applied so that the products mix well, and nothing looks overdone. Usually, it is advised to use the concealer under your eyes, which is a tone lighter than the foundation itself. Read about the best MAC foundations that we've prepared for you..

Eyeshadow

The eyeshadow step is a tricky one since it usually depends upon the look you want to achieve. It can be natural makeup or a smokey eye look that you intend to achieve. So, the choice is yours.

It is always a good way to emphasize your eyes with an eyeliner. You can experiment here too. If you want a more complex look, then a winged eye it is, if you wish for something simpler, then a mere lining of the upper lid would be enough.

Blush

You shouldn’t forget about some blush that adds color to your face. However, you need to determine your face shape first so that you are 100% sure as to where to place it. Also, choose the blush color that fits your skin tone best.

Highlighter

The highlighter step is a little bit more complicated since there are a few areas to apply it to. First of all, you need to highlight your cheekbones, then move to your brows and nose.

The truth is that there is usually no need to contour your face on a daily basis. However, if you feel like it, it is best to do it when all the rest of the makeup is done. In such a way, it is a lot easier to blend everything and get a perfect result.

Lip

To make your lipstick last longer, it is essential that you use a lip liner as well. You can opt for any shade that you see fit.

Setting spray

There is not a chance that you would want your makeup to melt, that is why a setting spray is a must.

FAQ: How To Do Makeup

How do you apply blush for beginners?

  • Use cream blush because it blends in easily, or take a fluffy blush brush to apply a regular one.
  • Lifting your face: place your blush higher up on the cheekbone towards your temple between the highlight and
    the bronzer to create a gradient effect. This technique accentuates your cheekbones and is great for round faces.
  • For a heart-shaped face or for a sun kissed look: apply at the apple of the cheekbone (do not drag it down) and also to the temples to balance it out.
  • For a narrow face or to create a sunburned, youthful look: place it right across the center of the nose and across your face.

How do you apply bronzer for beginners?

  • Do you have warm or cool undertones to your face? Choose bronzer with the same undertones.
  • Take a fluffy brush. Coat it in product evenly and tap off the excess. Apply softly following a circular motion close to your hairline and slightly go down.
  • Following a three shape: temples, down the slope of the cheek and the jawline. Add product to an area you want to hide. If you have a smaller forehead, don’t go all the way to your brows. For a longer face focus on your central area more. For a rounder face go towards your mouth.
