Your Basic How to Apply Makeup Guide

Putting on makeup is one the routines most girls are very much obliged to do. And many find it rather time consuming and difficult. These tips on how to apply makeup are sure to speed up that prep time with head-turning gorgeous results.

Basically, you need foundation, mascara, blush, face powder, lipstick, lip gloss and eye shadow to do this. You also need eye shadow brushes and blush brush.

The first step is to apply a concealer that is one shade lighter than your foundation. Dab it over blemishes or under-eye circles and blend using your fingertips or makeup sponge. Apply the foundation that matches your skin tone, in dots over the central part of your face, and then blend it out with a makeup sponge until it covers your whole face. The next to do is your eyebrows. Use powdered eyebrow shadow to make it more natural, applying with a hard, slanted brush. You have to choose 3 colors of eye shadow (light, medium, dark). The dark eye shadow is to be used to line your upper eyelid. Use the medium shade for crease, and for the area under the brow, you can brush off the lightest. Applying the eyeliner is the next step. Line only the outer two-thirds of the lower eyelid. Next, apply mascara to upper and lower lashes. You have to apply it in two thin coatings so that it won’t clump. If you are fair skinned, brown mascara is great for you, and black or black-brown if you are on the darker side. Smile and find the apple of your cheeks, and apply blush on or below it. Choose a lipstick color that is suited for your skin coloring and matches your mood.

After these, you will emerge as a gorgeous woman, ready for the day ahead.
