From choosing and applying the right foundation, drawing natural eyebrows to regularly washing makeup brushes, a few small steps in this article will help you make a big difference in both looks and feel. your feeling thanks to makeup.

Steps

Part 1 of 4: Find the right foundation and concealer

1. 

   Take care of your skin before applying foundation. If you put foundation on dry, flaky, or oily skin, the foundation on your face will look thick. Always wash your face before applying makeup and exfoliate once or twice a week to keep skin smooth and clean. Finally, remember to moisturize before makeup to provide the necessary moisture to your skin.
   • It is also a good idea to apply primer before applying foundation. Primer not only creates a foundation for makeup to hold on throughout the day, but also conceals pores and wrinkles, making the foundation smoother.

2. 

   
   
   Try a foundation cream color on the jawline. When looking to buy foundation at a cosmetic counter, you will probably just try it on the back of your hand. However, the skin on your hands is usually not the same color as your face, so you end up buying a foundation that's too dark in color. Instead, try a foundation on the jawline to make sure it suits your face and neck skin.
   • Be sure to test your foundation under natural light to make sure you find the right color.
   • Even if you are confident that the foundation color is right for your face and neck skin, you should still spread a little cream down your jaw and neck to clear the line between your face and neck.

3. 

   
   
   Use a makeup brush or sponge to apply foundation. While it may be easier to apply foundation with your fingers, it often creates a thick, streaky layer of cream. Instead, dab the cream with your finger clean and use a brush or suck on your egg-shaped makeup to evenly spread the cream. If you use the right tools to apply and spread the cream, you will have a beautiful foundation like a mist.
   • Avoid flat brushes like paintbrushes - they can also create streaks on the foundation. Look for a round brush with thick bristles for a more effective foundation.
   • If you are using a sponge, you should first wet it first. Wring out the water so the sponge is just damp, then use it to apply the cream. This will prevent the sponge from getting too absorbed in the make-up.

4. 

   
   
   Choose a shade of puffiness that is only one tone lighter than your skin tone. You may think that using a brightly colored concealer will help lighten the skin under the eyes. However, using a two- or three-tone brighter concealer will only accentuate the area and turn your eyes into a "mutant" panda eye. Instead, choose a concealer that is only one tone lighter than the foundation color to make the skin under the eyes a little brighter.
   • Usually, it is best to use clean fingers to cover puffiness instead of using a brush or sucking. The warmth from the fingers will help the concealer melt into the skin more easily and with fewer wrinkles.

5. 

   Use a concealer that matches your foundation color to cover areas of different color. If you use a concealer that is lighter in tone than foundation to cover acne scars, age spots, and other areas of different color, the areas of skin you're trying to hide will eventually become even more prominent. Therefore, you should use a concealer whose color matches the foundation color so that the two areas of the skin blend perfectly together.
   • To spread concealer on your face, it is best to use a brush or sponge. Brushing and sucking will help the cosmetic stick to the skin evenly without losing the color of the cosmetic, thus still covering dark spots.

Part 2 of 4: Complete facial makeup

1. 

   Selective chalking. If you use too much powder, the makeup can become thicker, furthermore visible pores and wrinkles. To create a foundation for makeup, you should only lightly coat the areas that are often shiny and greasy. In most people, it's the T-zone, or on the forehead, nose, and chin area. You may also need to apply a thin layer of powder over your cheeks.
   • If you have dry skin, you can skip this step completely.
   • It is easy to get too hands on when applying powder or foundation. To keep the powder from being heavy, choose a loose, clear, and uncovered powder.

2. 

   Be careful when using chalks and contouring products. Contouring and contouring products can add warmth and sharpness to the face. However, if you use too much, your face is very susceptible to blemishes. To be natural, you should just use a small soft-bristled brush to dab a little bit of chalk and lightly brush along the forehead and temples, under the cheeks and along the jaw with the "number 3" or "E" shape to create sharpness. softness.
   • Blend evenly with chalk or contouring products to avoid streaking on the face.

3. 

   Apply the blush slightly higher on the cheeks. If you hit the blush too low on the cheeks, your face will look heavy and look pulled down. You should start at the top of the cheekbones and spread back along the cheekbones towards the hairline.
   • Start with a small amount of blush, and add only if you need more color. You should also remember to spread it evenly so that the powder clings to the skin naturally.
   • The diagonal blush brush will help you hit the blush in the right place.

Part 3 of 4: Eye and Lip Improvement

1. 

   Slightly adjust the eyebrows. The bold line on the brow is never beautiful. To avoid your eyebrows looking too sharp, use a brow liner of the same color or a lighter tone than your real eyebrows. Instead of drawing a straight brow, draw a series of small strokes for a natural, soft look.
   • Normally, the eyebrows drawn with chalk will create the most natural and soft look.
   • Once you've finished drawing your eyebrows with chalk, you should use a brush or brow brush to spread the color evenly.

2. 

   Apply eyeshadow primer. An eyeshadow primer is a must-have if you want to keep your eyeshadow going long and wrinkle-free. Dab a small amount of primer on your eyelids and spread it gently with your fingers before applying the eyeshadow.
   • If you don't have an eye primer, replace it with a concealer and use it as a primer.

3. 

   Use "mold" to polish the eyeliner. Perfectly contouring the eyelids can be an impossible task if you draw freehand. Instead, stick a piece of tape inside or hold a piece of paper at a 45-degree angle at the corner of your eye, then simply follow it to perfect the cat's eyeliner.
   • If you are using tape, stick it on the back of your hand and peel it off a few times before applying it to the corner of your eye. This will reduce adhesion and will not stretch the delicate skin around your eyes when you peel off the tape.

4. 

   Curl lashes before applying mascara. Curved lashes can help eyes widen and appear larger. However, it is important that you curl your lashes with a eyelash holder before applying mascara. If the lashes are curled while they are still wet, the eyelashes may be curled, even a few strands cut.
   • If you're not used to using eyelash curlers, you can curl your lashes without needing it. Apply mascara first, then push in lashes for curl. Hold for a few seconds to maintain curl.

5. 

   Exfoliate and moisturize your lips before applying lipstick. Whether it's using lipsticks, lip gloss or lip gloss, the lipstick color will not apply if your lips are dry and flaky. Use an exfoliant on your lips to gently remove dead skin and apply a moisturizer before applying lipstick for perfectly smooth lips.
   • You can buy lip scrubs or make your own with household ingredients. Mix ½ teaspoon (2.5 ml) olive oil with one teaspoon (4 g) of sugar, and rub it on your lips to exfoliate. Wipe off with a damp cloth.
   • It is especially important to exfoliate and moisturize your lips before applying matte lipstick. Matte lipstick is extremely dry, so it will highlight any chapped and flaky skin on the lips.

6. 

   Use a lip liner to paint the entire lips. A lip liner can help sharpen your lips and keep your lips from smudging. However, even if the lip liner color is the same as the lipstick color, the lip contour will stand out if you only apply lipstick along the lip line. To avoid the bold line around the lips, use a lip liner to paint the inside of the lips after applying the lip liner.
   • If you can't find a lip liner that matches your lip color, you can use a nude lip liner that matches your natural lip color.

Part 4 of 4: Avoid common makeup mistakes

1. 

   Remove make-up before going to bed. Going to bed with makeup on your face is one of the worst things you can do for your skin. Your facial skin may become pimples, wrinkles, and dull complexion. Always wash your makeup at night before bed with a good cleanser to maintain healthy skin.
   • If you use waterproof eye makeup or a thick foundation, it's best to use a makeup remover in your skin care routine before washing your face.
   • Leave the makeup remover on the nightstand. So even if you are lazy to go to the sink to remove makeup, you can still quickly wipe off makeup and go to sleep.

2. 

   Do not leave cosmetics in the bathroom. The bathroom often has large mirrors, so it seems like the perfect place to store cosmetics. But the temperature and humidity in the bathroom can damage cosmetics very quickly - not to mention germs. Instead, keep cosmetics in a cool, dry place indoors, such as your bedroom.

3. 

   Wash your makeup brushes regularly. Keeping your makeup brush clean can be annoying, but a dirty brush can bring dirt, oil, and bacteria to your face with each use. You should thoroughly clean your makeup brush with shampoo or other cleaning product once a week, and use a makeup brush daily to rinse it off quickly before each use.
   • You can buy scouring and scouring soaps at cosmetic stores or you can make your own at home.
