Are you interested in achieving that ‘flawless’ makeup look? It is achievable; just follow these directions and you will be well on your way to learning how to apply makeup flawlessly.
Start By Properly Washing Your Face
The first step to achieving a flawless complexion is to ensure that your face is completely clean. This means that you should be using a good cleanser that is made especially for your specific skin type – whether that is oily, dry, or a combination of the two depending on other factors. If you are having difficulty choosing the right product for your skin type, you can always ask qualified the individuals at your dermatologist’s office for some sound advice.
Moisturise Your Skin Regularly
Now you can move on to the next step – namely nourishing your facial skin with moisturiser. Like choosing a cleanser, you must choose a moisturiser that is specifically tailored to your skin type. After all, you do not want to use the wrong moisturiser and end up breaking out in blemishes or suffering from some other sort of skin ailment. That said, you should also remember to choose a moisturiser that will protect your skin from the sun’s harmful ultraviolet UVA and UVB rays.
Apply the Foundation
If you believe that you need a bit of coverage on your face, feel free to use foundation. In order to apply makeup flawlessly, you should ensure that you choose the proper colour for your skin tone. After all, if you choose the wrong shade it will be quite noticeable. Along similar lines, you should only use a foundation that is appropriate for your skin type. If your skin is dry, you should try to shy away from heavier looking foundations as this type of foundation will only amplify your skin condition. Sometimes it may take a few tries to ensure that you have the right foundation – don’t worry about this! It is completely normal.
Add the Finishing Touches
In certain circumstances, to apply flawless makeup you may want to use a concealer to help hide blemishes or dark under-eye circles. Feel free to add a bit of concealer; however, do remember to blend this concealer in sufficiently. Moreover, you can also add an illuminator if you wish to have a dewy, fresh look. Simply brush a bit of illuminator on your cheek bones, forehead, and chin at this point as well.
Add a Touch of Colour by Using Blush
Next, apply an appropriate colour of brush on your cheeks directly under your eyes. In order to keep the look uniform, apply some blush to your forehead, nose, and chin area as well.
Put On Mascara
Make sure that you take any excess mascara off before applying a new layer of mascara to your eyelashes. If you are applying eye makeup, ensure that you apply your eye makeup primer first; this will help to ensure that your eye makeup lasts throughout the day.
Prepare your Lips
In order to ensure that lipstick will look beautiful each and every time, you should regularly moisturise your lips with a lip protector or chapped-lips product. Line your lips and apply your chosen lipstick in the same colour. If you want extra sheen, add a dash of lip gloss to your lips.
Overall, learning how to apply makeup flawlessly can be a fun process. That said, always keep the adage “less is more” in mind when applying makeup and you should rarely go wrong.
