This essay will give guidelines on how to apply makeup and contour your face for added depth or enhanced specific areas. To start, secure or pull back your hair to keep it away from your face. Begin by cleansing your face with warm water and an exfoliator, then rinse thoroughly before splashing cold water to close pores. This helps prevent acne caused by the forthcoming makeup application. Once done, apply toner to even out skin tone and restore moisture balance. Let the toner dry completely.
To achieve an even complexion, start by applying a base or foundation using a make-up sponge instead of using your fingers. This will prevent streaks. After applying the base, you can proceed to apply eye shadow. Opt for natural colors such as tans and beige as they can enhance the brightness of your eyes. For a smoky effect, select a slightly darker shade than the one used on your lid and apply it to the crease of your eyelid, using a motion similar to that of a window wiper towards the nose. Finally, blend the colors seamlessly together using a small angled brush.
Begin by using a blush brush to contour your cheekbones. Choose a tan-colored powder that is slightly darker than your base color, approximately one to two shades darker. Before applying the powder, make sure to tap off any excess. Start sweeping the powder gently from your temple down to your cheekbone, following the curve of your mouth crease and beneath your jawbone for added definition. To achieve a smooth blend, switch to a clean blush brush.
Next, let’s enhance your eyes. Take black eyeliner or whichever shade you prefer and apply it along your upper lid.
If you want a natural look with your makeup, remember to apply it near your lash line and enhance your lashes with mascara. This will give you a balanced complexion and make your eyes pop. Some individuals choose to use eyeliner on their lower lash line, but the decision is yours based on personal preference and experimenting with different styles. Lastly, finish off with a lip gloss in a natural shade. After completing your makeup routine, feel free to style your hair as desired.
