How to Apply Makeup: A Step-by-Step Guide
Enhancing natural beauty is the goal of makeup, and with these easy instructions, you can learn to apply makeup for any occasion.
Preparation
Start by washing your face with a gentle cleanser that won’t dry out your skin. Follow up with a moisturizer suitable for your skin type. To protect your clothes, cover them with a towel while applying makeup.Step 1: Concealer
Even supermodels don’t have perfect skin. Use concealer to hide blemishes and undereye circles. Choose a shade one lighter than your foundation. Using your ring finger, apply small dots over problem areas and blend with the fingertip or a makeup sponge. Both liquid and solid concealers work well.Step 2: Foundation
Choose a liquid foundation that perfectly matches your skin tone. Apply it in dots across the center of your face and blend outward with your fingertips or a sponge. This will create a smooth base and cover your concealer. Set the foundation with loose or pressed powder of the same color using a brush or puff. A compact is handy for touch-ups on the go.Step 3: Eye Makeup
Start by defining your eyebrows. If they’re sparse, use an eyebrow pencil or powder shadow to fill in gaps. A hard slanted brush works well for applying powder shadow.Choose eye shadow that complements your eye color and skin tone. Apply dark shadow along the upper lash line, medium shadow above that to the crease, and light shadow from there up to the brow. For daytime, opt for matte shades, reserving shimmer or sparkle for evenings.
Use a wet cake eyeliner in a darker shade to enhance the eyes, applying a thin line along the upper lash line. Extend slightly beyond the outer corner for larger-looking eyes. For a dramatic evening look, add liner to the lower lid. Keep lines thin to avoid a heavy appearance. An eyeliner pencil is an alternative option.
Mascara completes eye makeup. Choose a color that matches your skin tone; dark brown for fair skin, black for darker complexions. Navy or plum can be fun for evenings. Apply mascara by gently waving the applicator over lashes. Allow to dry before adding a second coat to avoid clumping. For extra drama, use an eyelash curler before mascara.
Step 4: Blush
Blush adds a healthy glow and comes in powder or gel form. Apply it sparingly to avoid an overly rosy look. Smile to find the apples of your cheeks and apply blush there or just below, depending on what flatters you most.Step 5: Lipstick
Select a lipstick color that suits your skin tone and outfit. Apply directly from the tube or with a brush for precision. After applying lipstick, use a lip liner to define edges. Match the lip liner closely to the lipstick to maintain a cohesive look.Safety Tips
Cosmetics can harbor bacteria, so replace them as needed, especially mascara, which should be discarded within a year of opening. Avoid sharing makeup to prevent infections.Now that you know how to apply makeup, practice before your next big event. By following these steps, you'll be ready to impress wherever you go.
