How to apply light makeup:

Cleansing the skin

Choose a facial cleanser that suits you according to your skin type. Generally, gel-like facial cleansers are suitable for oily skin, foaming facial cleansers are suitable for neutral skin and combination skin, and dry skin is suitable for facial cleansers with good hydrating and moisturizing effects. Other problem skin types can use targeted products. Facial cleanser should not stay on your face for more than 3 minutes, then wash your face with warm water.

Moisturizer or toner (depending on the different skin properties): replenish moisture to the skin or shrink pores.

Apply nourishing facial cream: replenish nutrients to the skin. In winter, it is suitable to use facial cream to create a deep nourishing effect, while in summer, lotion is enough.

Sunscreen isolation cream: It isolates dust, dirt, and ultraviolet rays in the air and protects the skin. We can choose a better sunscreen isolation cream. Sunscreen isolation cream is suitable for dry skin and has a sun protection time of 6 hours. Sunscreen isolation lotion is suitable for oily and sensitive skin and has a sun protection time of 2-4 hours.

Correcting liquid: adjust our skin color, yellowish skin uses lavender, white skin generally uses light green

Apply foundation: If time permits, you can first apply a moisturizing mask to make your skin more crystal clear and radiant, choose a liquid foundation of the same color as your skin tone, and then use the foundation to evenly apply the liquid foundation on your face, sweeping back and forth to avoid leaving brush marks. It is like putting countless small "X"s on your face. After using the foundation brush, you can gently press the entire face with a sponge. This can help the foundation be distributed more evenly, and make the overall makeup effect more natural and transparent, making the skin appear delicate. This kind of makeup will appear transparent and not fake.

Apply pressed powder or loose powder (for setting makeup): Many girls always feel that their makeup looks dirty and oily. The problem is that they don’t set their makeup carefully. Most loose powders come in many colors. The reason why there are so many colors is not just because they look good, but there are reasons for it. For example, pink is suitable for pale skin, green is suitable for skin with red blood streaks, and purple is suitable for dull skin. First, use a dry powder puff to pick up an appropriate amount of loose powder, fold it in half and knead it evenly. Use your fingers to flick off the excess powder, press evenly on the skin, and then use a large makeup brush to brush off the excess powder. Don't forget the oily areas such as the corners of the eyes, wings of the nose, and corners of the mouth. A good loose powder not only has the effect of setting makeup and absorbing oil, but more importantly, it can play a secondary modifying role.

Drawing eyebrows: Drawing eyebrows requires skills. Generally, it follows the principle of light eyebrows, deep eyebrow slope, high eyebrow peak, and clear eyebrow tail. Of course, it depends on the condition of your own eyebrow shaping.

Eye shadow: Use a medium-sized eye shadow brush to pick up white highlighter, and sweep it over the entire upper eyelid from the inner corner to the outer corner of the eye to emphasize the structure. Use a small eye shadow brush to repeatedly sweep the brown color on the eyeliner several times. Control the area of ​​the brown color and only use it in a small area. This will make the entire eye look more three-dimensional. When blending, pay attention to the transition of layers to avoid the dirty feeling caused by uneven application. Of course, the color of the eye shadow should match the clothes you wear today.

Eyeliner: Place the mirror 20cm away from your body, look down, and use your ring finger to gently pull your eyelids upwards. Follow the root of the eyelashes and draw in sections from the end of the eye to the corner of the eye. The outer canthus of the eye is elongated. Use an eyeliner brush to evenly apply the eyeliner from the corner of the eye to the end of the eye to make the lines natural and clear. You must not skip the step of using an eyeliner brush to smudge the eyeliner. This step can make the eyeliner look natural and not too rigid. If you have double eyelids or oily eyes, it is recommended that you use eyeliner cream. Cream eyeliner lasts longer than eyeliner pencil or eyeliner powder, and is less rigid and easier to control than liquid eyeliner. The basic principle is to start drawing from the upper two-thirds of the eye and the lower half. Some people do not draw the lower eyeliner.

Curl eyelashes and apply mascara: curl the eyelashes at the roots, middle and tips first, then apply mascara. Mascara is a very important step in adjusting the eyes. If the mascara is applied very neatly and cleanly and the eyelashes are curled tightly, the eyes will appear much bigger. It also helps to reduce the fatigue caused by dark circles, and curled eyelashes can make you look more energetic. Curl your eyelashes in sections, starting from the outermost part, then the middle, and finally the root. This way, your eyelashes will look natural and curled, and the curl can reach 80 degrees. Use a 'Z' motion to brush your eyelashes. Don't apply too much mascara, as it will be too heavy and your eyelashes won't curl up.

Draw lip liner and lipstick (to match your clothes). Bright lipstick must be applied with a lipstick brush.

Blush: In the entire makeup, eye shadow is the visual center, so blush and lip color should be applied lightly. The blush should be similar in color to your lip color and eye shadow. Sometimes you can use blush as eye shadow.

Through the above introduction, the above methods are all good choices for how to apply light makeup, but it should be noted that when applying such makeup, you should also pay attention to the methods and techniques, and when choosing products, you should be careful not to choose them casually, but should focus on those that suit you so that after applying makeup, there will be no damage to the skin.
