What are the correct steps for daily makeup application?

Most women usually have the habit of wearing makeup, and some women will not go out without makeup. In fact, if you want to make yourself beautiful, makeup is very simple for some people, but for those who put on makeup for the first time, it is particularly difficult. In fact, makeup is an art. For novices, since there are many steps in makeup, most newcomers often don’t know where to start. So what are the correct steps for daily makeup?

The general makeup steps are:

Cleansing - Toner - Lotion (these three steps are basic skin care) BB cream - Concealer - Loose powder - Eyebrows - Eyeshadow - Eyeliner - Mascara - Blush - Lips

Step 1: Moisturizer/cream or primer before makeup

A perfect makeup must have a good base makeup, and the basis for a good base makeup is moisturizing before applying makeup. Only when the skin is moisturized enough can the base makeup be clear and not easy to come off. Therefore, the first step before putting on makeup is that you must apply moisturizer or face cream, primer, etc.

Step 2: Foundation

Many people are accustomed to applying eye makeup first, but when eye shadow falls on skin without foundation, the coloring is difficult to remove. So, apply foundation first, turning your face into a canvas, and then correct blemishes and add the finishing touches.

Step 3: Concealer to cover blemishes. The important step after applying foundation is to cover blemishes.

Concealer method: Squeeze out a bean-sized amount of concealer, follow the principle of small amounts and multiple times, and cover the spots, acne, and blemishes on the face.

Step 4: Loose powder, honey powder

After applying the base makeup, you must remember to set it. If you skip this step, your makeup will easily be ruined. So setting makeup is super important! Loose powder has the function of setting makeup. Use a large brush to evenly apply a small amount of translucent loose powder on the face. When brushing on the eyelids, it can remove the excess eye shadow and make the makeup more even and natural.

How to set makeup: Use a large powder brush or powder puff to pick up a small amount of powder, and use light sweeping or pressing techniques to evenly cover the face. Remember to follow the principle of small amounts and multiple times, and don't take too much powder at one time. This makeup is more clear.

Step 5: Eyes and lips

Eye makeup and lip makeup need to match each other. The principle is one dark and one light. You don't need flaming red lips for smoky makeup.

Eye makeup is the most important part of the entire makeup. If you do eye makeup well, your whole person will change, and the effect is more powerful than plastic surgery.

Eye makeup steps:

Step 1: Eye shadow. First choose a light-colored eyeshadow base and apply it directly to the eye sockets with your fingers. Then use a dark eyeshadow and start applying it from the root of the eyelashes. The color of the eyeshadow near the root of the eyelashes is the darkest, and the color fades upwards. The transition from dark to light color should be natural without a clear dividing line, and a blending effect should be created.

Step 2: Eyeliner. Draw eyeliner at the roots of the upper and lower eyelashes. If you need to draw inner eyeliner, do it at the roots of the eyelashes. Beginners can use the segmented drawing method, the end of the eye, the middle of the eye, and the beginning of the eye, and finally connect these three sections. After that, adjust the eyeliner to fill in the gaps. Finally, use a cotton swab to drag the eyeliner at the end of the eye and blend it naturally backwards to make the end look rounder.

Step 3: Mascara. Before applying mascara, curl your eyelashes with an eyelash curler. Generally, the eyelashes are curled from the root, middle and tip. Hold the brush horizontally and apply carefully from the base of the lashes to the tip. Be careful to avoid painting like fly legs, and keep moving in a Z-shaped motion when applying.

Step 4: Eyebrows. Before drawing eyebrows, first trim your eyebrows into a shape that suits you, then use an eyebrow pencil or eyebrow brush to draw along the eyebrow contour little by little diagonally to the tip of the eyebrow, and finally use a brush to blend it naturally.

Lip makeup steps:

Step 1: Lip balm. First, use lip balm to moisturize the lips. The main purpose is to replenish moisture to the lips. Only by moisturizing the lips can it be easier to apply makeup. Don't skip it.

Step 2: Primer (this step can be omitted). If you want to create a particularly pure color, such as bright red lips, you will need to apply a primer on your lips to cover up the original lip color. You can use a cushion foundation or a dedicated lip primer. This way the color painted on it will be particularly positive.

Step 3: Lip line (this step can be omitted). Find a lip liner in the same color to outline the lip shape and correct the color of the lip edges. This way, when you apply lip makeup later, you can just fill in the color inside without worrying about applying it outside.

Step 4: Lipstick/lip gloss. The best way to apply lipstick is to use a lip brush. If you want your lips to look plump, try to apply it thicker in the middle of your lips and then slowly move it towards the corners of your mouth. Note that the application at the corners of your mouth must be shallow and narrow, so that your lips will look very rosy and cute. People who don’t like to wear lipstick can just use lip gloss.

Step 6: Blush

How to apply blush: Use a large powder brush to apply a small amount of blush powder and sweep it from the cheekbones to the temples. Remember not to apply too much powder, otherwise you will get the embarrassing "highland red" situation.

Step 7: You can perform the contouring step according to your needs or skip it.

Contouring powder: can modify the face shape, make the face shape better looking, and make the facial makeup more three-dimensional.

Highlights: Apply highlights above the eyeballs, in the middle of the lips, under the eyes, at the corners of the eyes, and on the brow bones to make the entire makeup look more three-dimensional and refined.
