The correct steps for applying makeup

Makeup is a compulsory course for almost every woman's life, because for women, it is very important to apply a delicate makeup. Whether we go out to meet friends or have a meeting at the company, changing a decent makeup represents respect for others. It is also important to know some makeup application methods when applying makeup. So what are the correct steps for applying makeup?

1. Before starting makeup, first determine the face shape and eyebrow shape: Pluck out the stray hairs outside the eyebrow shape, such as between the eyebrows, under the brow peak, and the thick part of the brow peak. The standard position of eyebrows - the eyebrows should be aligned with the eye openings, and the protruding parts should be removed. The brow peak should be located just above the outer side of the eyeball when looking straight ahead. The eyebrows should be evenly wide from the brow peak to the brow peak. Oriental women often have thin eyebrows and thick brow peaks, so the eyebrows should be deepened and thickened, and the brow peaks should be thinned until they are of equal width. The length of the eyebrow is a straight extension from the nose wing and the eyebrow, and the width gradually narrows from the brow peak to the end of the eyebrow. After determining the eyebrow shape, observe whether the hair above the lips is too thick or too dark. Many women with thick and dark hair have this problem in this area. If it is not dealt with, no matter how you put on makeup, it will always make people feel too masculine. It is best to remove it regularly with a scraper. There is no need to worry about whether it will become thicker or darker after removal.

2. The second step is to decide the color of the foundation: first decide whether it is glossy or matte. Oily skin should use matte foundation because oily skin is very prone to oil production and makeup removal; dry skin should use glossy foundation, but when taking wedding photos, you must use matte foundation to avoid glare when taking pictures. Choose two or three foundation shades that are close to your skin tone, and try applying them on your cheeks to determine the color that is closest to your skin tone. If you are already wearing makeup, it is best to remove the makeup in front of the ear and try again to get the color correct. You can also try a foundation shade that is darker than your skin tone, which will make your makeup look more three-dimensional.

3. How to use foundation to modify face shape is a very important skill: Use light and dark colors to create wide and narrow effects to modify skin color. For example, overly wide cheeks or cheekbones can be modified with dark skin foundation. A narrow forehead, flat cheekbones or a short chin can all be modified with white or bright foundation, but the joints with the original foundation should be even and soft, and there should not be an obvious difference in the two colors. In order to achieve a uniform and soft foundation effect, it is best to use a soft sponge to evenly apply the foundation for better results.

4. Apply powder: You can use loose powder to apply makeup at home. If you want a thicker effect, you can rub the loose powder evenly and then lightly press it on your face. This way the loose powder and foundation will be more lasting and less likely to fall off. For light makeup, dip a powder brush in powder and apply from the top of the face to the bottom, and from the middle of the face to the outside. It is best to use a powder with a filter to avoid getting too much powder on your face, which will make the makeup uneven, such as thick or thin. The color of the powder must also be chosen to be closest to your skin tone. After applying a standard foundation, the color of your face should be the same as the skin tone of your neck, which is the most natural and correct tone. If you want a whiter skin effect, you can use foundation and powder that are one shade lighter than your skin tone. However, you must apply foundation and powder of the same tone on the neck and exposed areas of the collar to achieve the effect of consistent tone on the face and neck. When you go out to touch up your makeup, first use oil-absorbing paper to absorb the secreted oil, and then apply foundation. This will have a better effect. The color tone will be the same as other parts of the face. At this time, it is most convenient to carry a multi-purpose water-based powder cake, which can have the functions of both foundation and loose powder.
