HOW TO APPLY MAKEUP
Applying a basic, natural look doesn't require a lot of skill or tools. You can do lots of the blending with your fingertips, and choose to leave out certain products if they don't appeal to you. So have no fear: enjoy the process and your fresh, glowing face!
1
Start with clean skin. Wash with a gentle cleanser or simply use a toner to wipe away any impurities from your skin.
2
Apply a light moisturizer. This will keep your skin from getting too oily during the day, and will help moisturize any dry patches on your skin.
Wait five minutes before putting on foundation so that the moisturizer can sink in.
3
Apply an eye shadow of your choice to your eyelid. For beginners, try a single neutral shade like brown or gold. Use a rounded shadow brush or your finger and make quick, short swipes across the lid, working your way up to the brow bone.
The shadow should go from your lash line to the lid.,From there it fades upward toward the crease.
4
Apply eyeliner. Use a black or brown pencil and apply along the rim of your upper lash line in short strokes.
Lift your upper lid with one hand and look down into a mirror as you apply with your other hand.
Eyeliner is one of the areas that you can really experiment with as you become more confident applying makeup.
5
After this, apply mascara. Apply to the upper and lower lashes with the tip of the wand oriented towards the outer corner of your eye. One coat should suffice for this look... 6)Apply lipstick or lip gloss. Pucker your lips like you're about to plant a kiss and dab the lip color to the center of your upper and lower lip. This first application can be straight from the tube; then, use your fingers to blend outwards, adding color with your fingertips as needed.
If your lips are chapped, prep them before putting on lip color. Gently buff them with a warm, damp washcloth and put on a light layer of lip balm. Let the balm absorb before moving on to lipstick or gloss.
