How To Apply Makeup?
This part will guide how beginners can do easy makeup for Christmas this year. We will give some makeup tips from the best makeup artist. Because of that, you don’t need to watch any makeup tutorials.
Prep Your Skin
Sensek says, “Always cleanses and moisturizes your skin type. Makeup will never apply without it.” So, before you start, it is important to prep your skin with skin care products.
You never acquire flawlessly and even finish if you haven’t prepped your skin properly. Your foundation will give a heavy look and gravitate on your dry skin parts; your concealer also gives a cakey look.
Primer
All primers are not made on the same. So if you want the best results, always choose primer according to your skin type. Sesnek says, “Apply primer in fine, sheer coatings.”
Use a lighter hand for applying primer. It will be a ball or pill. It will not give us a look we are going for.
Apply a thin coat of primer focusing on the forehead, cheeks, and chin. This will enable it to obscure and mattify in these parts, normally the oiliest parts of your face.
Foundation And Concealer
As your skin is prepared and primed now, it’s turning for foundation, but we apply concealer first in a few cases. Here we apply foundation first, so dab a few dots on the different areas of your face focusing on the T-zone, nose, cheeks, chin, and forehead.
Your foundation must match your skin tone. Blend it with a foundation brush, makeup sponge, or fingers. We recommend using a foundation brush because it is a quick and easy makeup blender for beginners. To get a natural makeup look, apply a few cosmetics and blend them well.
After applying foundation, apply concealer under the eyes, around the nostril, and any blemishes or dark circles. Always dab concealer to get flawless, and never drag it.
Fix Your Base
Rip off the velvet puff or brush in the setting powder. Dab to vacate any extra. Make sure that the brush or velvet puff should be equally covered by setting powder before you apply it to your skin.
Make sure you do not move your makeup around when you press it on your face. Give importance to the area which usually needs touch-ups throughout the day. You can also bake your makeup if you have any special event or you want to make an airbrushed finish look.
Contour
Contour is available in liquid, cream formula and powder. We recommend contour with powder for a pretty makeup look; thus, it is perfect for beginners.
Emphasize the areas you want to create dimension by utilizing an angled brush. Sesnek says, “I like to begin with beneath the jawline foremost.”
Apply contour beneath your cheekbones, on the sides of your nose, and around your hairline. Sesnek also says, “Contour carries little extended to perfect but creates a world of difference, particularly in images.” If you’re yet a little intimidated by the concept of contouring, an expert makeup artist Sesnek, suggests rehearsing with bronzer.
He recommends utilizing beige or non-orange matte bronzer to polish your skills. If you are applying the bronzer, apply it beneath the jawline, on the forehead, and both sides of the cheeks.
Apply highlighter emphasis on high points of your face which hits the sun directly. According to Sesnek, “apply highlighter above cheekbones, on eyebrows arch, down the bridge of the nose and blending nicely will deliver vastly natural dimension.” The highlighter comes in many forms; a powder highlighter is simple if you are a beginner.
For applying, dip your brush in the powder and dab it to remove the extra powder. Drift lightly to the high points referred to above.
Blush
Apply blush on the apples of your cheeks. Make subtle and flush, moving the brush in a circular motion for blending. If you are not confirming where exactly the apples of your cheeks put a smile on your face.
