Step by step procedure for Makeup routine
Makeup can do a lot. It can transform your appearance, it will also help you hide blemishes or try a new look. But let’s face it, most of the time, we all need a quick routine that looks great but does not take too much effort or time. After all, on any day you have work, meetings, travel, family obligations, etc., introducing the minimal makeup routine.
Clean your face
Start with clean, hydrated skin. It is almost always the place to start with makeup. Cleansing is a prime step before applying any kind of makeup product to the skin. Help’s skin stays healthy and beautiful with or without makeup. Start by cleansing your skin, then applying a toner to remove any remaining oil and impurities. The toner is especially good if you have oily skin. This will make your makeup last longer and give your face that much-needed natural glow.
Moisturize the skin
Before you start putting on your makeup, take the time to prep your skin with a high-quality moisturizer. Choosing the right type of moisturizer is the crucial part. you need to moisturize before applying makeup, so your products don’t apply unevenly to dry patches of skin. Before you can start applying color corrector, foundation, concealer, blush, and any other face makeup product, you need to work on your skincare routine. It is most prominent around the nose and lips. Therefore, applying moisturizer before you start working on your foundation will keep your skin hydrated and prevent your makeup from clumping.
Apply a primer to your face
Once your face is clean and hydrated, the first step is to apply the primer. Choose your primer wisely according to your skin type. Applying primer will help prepare your face for the next steps while helping your makeup last all day.
Whether you plan to apply a light layer of foundation or full makeup, the foundation is an important step. Primers are silky gels and creams that fill in facial wrinkles and pores, smooth uneven texture and create the perfect canvas for makeup.
To apply primer, start by applying a small amount to your fingertips or your makeup brush or sponge of choice. Pro Tip: A little goes a long way. Start with a dab of foundation in the center of the face and slowly blend over the cheeks, forehead and chin.
Choose the right foundation
When it comes to foundation, finding the perfect shade for your skin tone is the number one priority. The right shade of foundation can make all the difference.
If you’re looking for lightweight coverage, your fingers may be the right applicator.
When applying foundation, use a makeup sponge to make sure it gets into those lines and creases, which can create a smoother, more even texture, apply foundation all over the skin and fade. Be sure to extend it towards your neck as well. Certain types of makeup brushes are also great for blending foundation into the skin.
Add a concealer
The concealer is used under the eyes to camouflage dark circles or erase imperfections. You can use your fingertips or a makeup sponge to apply the concealer. A concealer that closely matches your skin tone can be used to cover dark spots, pimples, and other facial blemishes. A concealer lighter than your skin tone can be used to highlight certain areas of the face or add clarity to your makeup. If you’re using concealer to minimize the appearance of blemishes, apply it directly to problem areas.
Stick and compact concealers are suitable for greater coverage in smaller, more targeted areas of the face. A liquid concealer is ideal for those times when you want lightweight coverage over a large part of your face. Liquid concealer also works well for those looking to create a lightweight finish, especially in areas of wrinkles, such as around the eyes and mouth. The liquid concealer is applied in small dots to the center of the forehead, center of the nose, under the eyes, in an arc at the top of the chin, just below the lower lip and blends into the surrounding skin.
Apply compact powder
Powder foundation or translucent powder will help set your foundation which includes, primer, color corrector. Use a fluffy powder brush or a velvet puff. Start by applying a light layer of powder all over your face. Press bristles into powder, then sweep onto skin in long, arcing strokes. However, if you’re using a powder brush, remember to pat out any excess powder before applying it to your face in circular motions.
Applying powder foundation can be a tricky process, too little and you might skip the step altogether, too much and you’ll get the dreaded “cake look”. If certain areas of your skin need more coverage, you should apply a little more powder. For this step, dip the brush into the powder, then press it firmly against your skin; this step helps the powder penetrate pores and lines for a smoother texture.
Apply blush and/or bronzer
Sunscreen lotion can give your skin a bronzed glow all year round. Use a dedicated bronzer brush to apply a golden tan to your face; Bronzer brushes are made with more bristles and sit much closer together, allowing you to get the most out of your colored bronzer with every stroke. One of the most common bronzer mistakes is choosing the wrong shade. If you’re not used to working with bronzers, use one no more than two shades darker than your skin tone. Once you have the right shade, apply your bronzer in the shape of a number “3” on both sides of your face. Start at the forehead, sweep the bronzer onto the cheeks, then sweep along the jawline to the chin.
Adding some color to your cheeks is an essential part of any makeup routine. Blush looks great on just about anyone, as long as you find the right shade for your skin tone and don’t overdo it. It’s best to use a makeup brush for powder blushes, although a cream blush may be easier to apply with your fingertips. Experiment with adding color to find what looks best on you.
If you want to add a little more color and glow to your complexion, blush may be the key. Use a thick brush with lots of bristles to apply the blush, this will allow you to get the most out of every blush stroke. Cream blush is extremely popular right now because it’s easy to apply and creates a very natural-looking color.
Apply eye primer
Use an eye primer on your lids before applying any eye makeup. It acts as a base and allows makeup to stay on the eyes longer. Using an eye primer will also prevent your makeup from creasing and settling in the creases of your eyelids.
Eye shadow
A neutral shade of eyeshadow is best for beginners, as brighter colors require a lot of blending. Practice is the key to wearing eyeshadow. Use the All Eye Need Smudger Brush or your fingers to smudge eyeshadow, working up to the crease, then slowly up to the brow bone. If using a brush, tap it lightly to remove any excess.
Eye shadow can add interest to your makeup, whether you opt for neutral tones or go bold with colorful hues. Whatever look you’re wearing, grab two complimentary eyeshadows: a lighter shade and a darker shade. Dip your eye shadow brush into the light shade, then tap the brush to remove any excess product. Apply the lightest shade all over the eyelid, starting at the lash line and ending just above the eyelid crease.
Now dip your brush into the darkest color, tapping on the excess again. Apply color to the outer corner of the eye, just above the lash line. Apply the darkest color in the crease of the eyelid, just below the brow bone. Stop applying around the center of your eyelid as you don’t want to darken the inner corners. Take a clean shadow brush and blend the two shades together. If you want a more intense look, reapply the darkest shade.
Line the eyes with a bit of eyeliner
After finishing the shadow, move on to the eyeliner. You can also wear eyeliner without eyeshadow. Perfecting the outline takes time. Eyeliner application can be tricky, one small mistake and you end up with “raccoon” eyes. Take it easy, if you’re unsteady with your hands and want to opt for the sleek winged liner. Don’t expect your eyeliner to be absolutely flawless the first time.
Final touch for your eyes
Eyebrows
Fill in your brows with a brow pencil or gel, using a pencil if you have thin, sparse brows and a gel if you have thicker brows to set them. Then apply a volumizing mascara.
Eyelash curling
The eyelash curler will give you luscious, curled lashes that will open your eyes even without trying. Always curl your lashes before using mascara. Place the eyelash curler at the base of your upper lashes and press it down for five seconds. Be very careful when doing this and don’t tug on the eyelids. Repeat several times and your lashes will have the kind of drama you need in your makeup.
Use volumizing mascara
If you only use one makeup product, mascara should be at the top of your list. A few swipes of mascara can make your eyes look brighter in one easy step. After curling your lashes, add mascara to the upper and lower lashes with the tip of your mascara. One coat should suffice for daily use. If you want a fuller look, add an extra layer or two. Apply in wavy motions starting at the bottom of the lashes and working upwards. Remember to squeeze the extra product out of the wand before application to prevent clumping. You can find mascara in a variety of colors, but black and brown tend to be the most popular.
Add lipstick or gloss
No look is complete without lip makeup. When it comes to lipstick, you have a wide variety of colors and textures, such as matte, semi-matte or high-shine lipstick or slip-on gloss. You can also apply a tint or lip tint if you want to go a step further. Before you apply anything, make sure your lips are exfoliated and free of dandruff.
Dry lips are the main cause of peeling skin. Using non-exfoliating lipstick can cause it to smudge, fade, and look unsightly. Use a gentle lip scrub to gently scrub your lips and apply protective lip gloss. Then, use a conditioner or moisturizer to further soften the lips.
Start applying your gloss from the center of your lips and glide the applicator over your pout. Try to avoid putting gloss above your natural lip line and pat them lightly to make sure your gloss reaches every nook and cranny of your lips.
Add the final touch with the setting spray
Setting spray or setting powder can be the finishing touch to your makeup routine. If you want makeup that lasts all day, without greasy, creases or shine, it is important to invest in a quality setting solution.Setting sprays are designed for all skin types and can be used to set a variety of looks, whether you are wearing light coverage or beautiful full makeup.
The setting spray holds your makeup in place, helping you reduce the need for reapplication and keep your makeup looking flawless for hours of time. There is no need to scrub the spray once applied as it dries naturally in seconds.
