STEP BY STEP HOW TO PUT MAKEUP

Step 1: Moisturize or apply a primer.

Using a hydrating cream before makeup helps all the powders and products you apply on top sink into the skin, making your makeup look less cake'y. Then I massage in an illuminating primer. You don’t have to use a product that is marketed as a primer; any moisturizer will do. 

Step 2: Fill in brows.

I always start my makeup look with the most time-consuming element. For me, that’s my brows (others like to do eye-shadow first, but I’m pretty clueless when it comes to eye makeup). First, I use a pencil the Face shop eyebrow pencil.  I’ll stop here if I’m in a hurry. or fill in sparse areas with hairlike strokes. Currently I’m liking the When I’m being extra, I add a powder or pomade to really define the ends of my brows, where there is basically no hair.

Step 3: Apply foundation.

Focus on the areas you want to even out and leave the rest of the face foundation-free. So, I apply my foundation starting at the center of my face: Around my nose, the eyes, and on my forehead, but I leave the area around my jawline only lightly covered. This prevents me from getting brown makeup stains everywhere when I put my hands on my chin throughout the day (that’s my thinking pose). I like to use a sponge or brush to apply my foundation, because I hate having my fingers dirty with product.

Step 4: Cover dark spots with concealer.

Concealer is after foundation in order to make sure your makeup blends together and that you don’t overdo it. This method works best for me because I get the kind of brightening I need for my purplish-black dark circles. I use a shade that is a bit lighter than my foundation under my eyes.

Step 5: Add blush to the apples of cheeks.

Blush is one of my favorite parts of applying makeup because a few swipes and I automatically look more put together. It probably has something to do with the fact that blush is usually the first colorful thing I add, whereas everything else is pretty neutral. I always use a powder blush in a bright vibrant color like bright fuchsia or red. But first, I swipe a little setting powder under my eyes to set my concealer and down on my cheeks. This was a tip I learned from makeup artist Fiona Stiles.“If you try to apply a powder blush over liquid foundation, the pigment will streak and be impossible to blend,” she says. I apply the blush on the apples of my cheeks (that’s the best placement for my oblong face shape). 

Step 6: Apply highlighter.

Highlighter is one of my go-to makeup items. When I only have five minutes to do makeup, I do brow, concealer, blush, highlight, and a lip.

Step 7: Swipe on a statement lip.

On lazy days, I skip straight to this step. Sometimes a lip has got to be enough. I cover my entire lip with liner to help my lipstick last a lot longer—a pro-approved tip I learned from my mother. Over that, I add a layer of matte liquid lipstick in a color that matches the liner pretty closely. Then apply a lipstick color that works well with the lip liner shade.
