The foolproof method for successful makeup

We explain how to apply your makeup the right way

There is a specific order for applying makeup, although everyone has their own method, there are general guidelines.
Here is a list of steps to follow to know how to apply makeup correctly.

PREPARATION

PRIMER/COMPLETION BASE

We start by having a good foundation.
How? Apply your primer to each area (face, eyelids and lips) This step is important because it creates a clean, smooth surface for the rest of your makeup and allows the product to stay in place longer.

EYES

EYEBROWS

@amsbeauty

After the base, you have to concentrate on the eyes.
Shape and fill in your eyebrows first.
They will serve as a guide for applying eye shadow.

EYE SHADOW/PIGMENT

@beautybay

Eye shadow should be applied first, in case there is any residue and you need to do some clean up.
Step 1: eyelid color
Step 2: the color of the crease of the eyelid
Step 3: highlight along the brow bone.

Eyeliner and mascara to finish!

COMPLEXION

FACE POWDER

@toofaced

If a classic foundation is a bit heavy for your daily routine, opt for a BB or CC cream.

 

CONCEALER

Then, apply the concealer under your eyes and on any imperfections.
The foundation covers imperfections well, but the concealer illuminates, infiltrates
into the skin and makes imperfections disappear.

 

SETTING/HIGHLIGHTENING POWDER

Whether it's a full contour or just warming up the skin, it's important to create that definition.
To do this, outline the areas of your face where you want to create shadows.
Cheeks, jaw, nose and forehead, but don't feel like you have to do it all.

 

BLUSHER

Your blush should be placed on top of your bronzer.
Otherwise, you risk getting a blurred, blotchy look rather than a natural blush.
There are many ways to apply blush, but one thing is essential: BLEND! this words is your best friend.

HIGHLIGHTER

@fentybeauty

Highlighter is the last step of your facial makeup.
Apply it to your cheekbones and the bridge of your nose - and anywhere natural light might land and reflect.
It's up to you to choose the type of highlighter that suits you best, liquid or powder.

LIPS

LIPSTICK

@dior

Lipstick or gloss should be one of the very last steps,
To make sure it stays put all day, try a matching lip liner or choose a formula that lasts all day.

 

FINAL TOUCH

FIXING SPRAY

@maccosmetics

 

Finally, the final touch!

Spray a setting spray all over your face to make your makeup last all day.

And There you go !
