The Correct Order In Which You Should Apply Makeup
Cleanse your face to remove dirt, oil or any impurities. Apply Toner to tighten your pores followed by the application of moisturizer and use a primer to create a smooth base.
Start with colour correction by neutralizing the dark circles, redness, etc. Apply a foundation that matches your skin tone referring to the colour of the neck and conceal the colour corrected areas to blend in with the foundation with a concealer. Set your base with a translucent setting powder.
Fill in eyebrows using a brow pencil or powder drawing fine strokes. Use an eyebrow brush or spoolie to blend the product, groom the brows, and create a natural look.
Start with applying eye shadow primer on the eyelids and enhance the longevity of the eye shadow, followed by applying your eyeshadow shades as and how you want to create the look.
Apply eyeliner on both the upper and lower lash line to give a fuller effect. Curl your lashes with an eyelash curler and coat them well with mascara. If needed, you can add in your false eyelashes.
Apply blush to your cheek as per the face shape and blend in your bronzer under the blush for warmth and dimension. Add highlighter to the cheekbones, bridge of your nose, and cupid’s bow, and blend well for a natural shiny look.
Line your lips with a lip liner that matches your lipstick shade. Apply lipstick or lip gloss to complete your look.
Finish with a makeup setting spray to lock your makeup in place, for better longevity and making it water resistant.
