1. Skincare Preparation (Crucial for a Flawless Base):

• Cleanse: Wash your face with a gentle cleanser to remove any dirt, oil, and impurities.


• Moisturize: Apply a lightweight moisturizer to hydrate your skin. Let it absorb for a few minutes before applying makeup.


• Sunscreen: Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) to protect your skin from sun damage. This is the most important step!


• Lip Balm: Apply lip balm to keep your lips hydrated and prevent cracking.

• If you have oily skin or want your makeup to last longer, apply a thin layer of primer all over your face. Focus on areas where you tend to get oily (T-zone).

• Choose your base: Select the product that provides the coverage you desire. For a natural look, less is more.


• Foundation: Provides the most coverage.


• BB Cream: Lighter coverage with added skincare benefits.


• Tinted Moisturizer: Very sheer coverage, mainly evens out skin tone.


• Application:


• Dot: Place small dots of the product on your forehead, cheeks, nose, and chin.


• Blend: Use a damp makeup sponge or foundation brush to blend the product outwards, starting from the center of your face. Blend well into your hairline and jawline to avoid harsh lines.


• Layer: If you need more coverage, apply a second very thin layer only where necessary.

• Purpose: Use concealer to brighten the under-eye area and cover any blemishes or redness.


• Application:


• Under Eyes: Apply concealer in an inverted triangle shape under your eyes, blending down towards your cheeks. This helps to brighten the area and conceal dark circles.


• Blemishes: Dab concealer directly onto any blemishes or red spots.


• Blending: Use a small concealer brush or your finger to gently tap and blend the concealer into your skin. Avoid rubbing, as this can irritate the area.

• Purpose: Set your base and concealer to prevent creasing and keep your makeup in place.


• Application:


• Dip: Dip a large, fluffy powder brush into your powder.


• Tap Off: Tap off the excess powder to avoid a cakey look.


• Apply: Gently press or roll the brush over your face, focusing on areas that tend to get oily (T-zone, under eyes).


• Less is More: Use a light hand to avoid looking powdery.

• Purpose: Frame your face with well-defined eyebrows.


• Choose Your Product: Select your preferred product depending on how much definition you want. Pencils are great for filling in sparse areas. Powders offer a softer effect. Gels provide hold and definition.


• Application:


• Brush: Use a spoolie brush to brush your eyebrow hairs upwards and outwards.


• Fill In: Use your eyebrow pencil, powder, or gel to fill in any sparse areas, following the natural shape of your eyebrows. Start at the arch and work towards the tail.


• Blend: Use the spoolie brush again to blend the product and soften any harsh lines. The front of the brow should be softer.

• Purpose: Add a touch of definition to your eyes.


• Choose a Neutral Shade: Opt for a matte brown, taupe, or cream eyeshadow.


• Application:


• Apply: Use a blending brush to apply the eyeshadow all over your eyelid, from your lash line to your crease.


• Blend: Blend the edges of the eyeshadow to create a seamless transition.


• Optional: Crease: For a little more definition, you can take a slightly darker shade of brown and apply it to the crease of your eye. Blend well!

• Purpose: Make your lashes look longer and fuller.


• Application:


• Curl: Use an eyelash curler to curl your lashes (optional, but recommended).


• Apply: Starting at the base of your lashes, wiggle the mascara wand back and forth as you move upwards. This will help to coat each lash evenly.


• Lower Lashes: Apply a light coat of mascara to your lower lashes.


• Avoid Clumps: Wipe off any excess mascara from the wand before applying to avoid clumps.

• Purpose: Add a healthy flush of color to your cheeks.


• Choose a Natural Shade: Opt for a peach, pink, or berry tone.


• Application:


• Smile: Smile to find the apples of your cheeks.


• Apply: Use an angled blush brush to apply the blush to the apples of your cheeks, blending upwards towards your temples.


• Blend: Blend the blush well to avoid harsh lines.

• Purpose: Add a touch of color and hydration to your lips.


• Choose a Natural Shade: Opt for a lipstick, lip tint, or tinted lip balm in a nude, pink, or berry shade.


• Application:


• Apply: Apply your chosen lip product to your lips.


• Blot (Optional): If you want a more subtle look, blot your lips with a tissue after applying your lip product.

• Less is more: Start with a small amount of product and build up as needed.


• Blend, blend, blend: Thorough blending is key to a natural look.


• Choose the right shades: Select products that complement your skin tone and hair color.


• Use light textures: Cream and liquid products tend to look more natural than powder products.


• Focus on enhancing your natural features: The goal is to look like yourself, but a little more polished.


• Don't be afraid to experiment: Try different products and techniques to find what works best for you.
