We can’t stress enough on the importance
of skin prep! If you have an oily or
combination skin type it’s important to mattify
the skin,
especially the t-zone using a good
silicone based primer to keep excess oils
at bay and your foundation in place
all day long!
How do I find my right foundation match is probably
the most asked question on our list!
Swatching shades on your wrist is never going to
help and you’ll probably end up looking like an
oompa loompa! To avoid this, swipe
a few shades onto your jawline to find your
perfect match and then use a stippling brush
to buff it into your skin to achieve a
flawless base!
Makeup has no boundaries when it comes to age
but it’s essential to change up your makeup products
to seamlessly cover those pesky fine lines!
Keep your makeup as light and natural
as possible by using cream bronzers
and blushes that easily blend into the
skin with a brush or a sponge without
seeping into any of the wrinkles! Smooth skin
for the win!
We all love our highlighters but
being heavy handed with these pigmented products
can leave you looking like a disco ball!
Instead, identify the areas
of your face that need to be highlighted -
the cheekbones,
bridge of the nose,
cupid’s bow, brow bone
and inner corner.
Lightly dust on the powder and you’ll be left
with a beautiful glow from within!
The most common mistake made by us women
when it comes to eye makeup is overloading
the eye with shimmer! To get beautifully defined
eyes use a matte
transition shade to map out the crease
Avoid putting one a thick liner
instead use a product with a fine tip to draw
on a thin and even wing!
If you want long & voluminous lashes -
mascara is your best friend! But
there are some strict no-nos when it comes to
technique.
Never pump your mascara as this lets in
bacteria and dries out the product
making your lashes flaky and lumpy!
Wipe off the excess product from the
wand onto the brim of the tube
and using a wiggle roll motion go through your lashes
evenly!
Smudge proof liquid lipstick are definitely
winners in the race for long wear products
but at the same time can look extremely dry
and flaky if you don’t follow a good
lip care routine.
This perfect DIY mix of honey and sugar
can be used to exfoliate the lips and get
rid of dry skin while a lip balm
can be used to nourish them.
Then go in with your favourite liquid lip,
using the wand to draw a clear outline
and then flipping it around to fill in the lips for that
perfect pout!
Sleeping with a full face of makeup on is one of the
biggest faux pas in the beauty world
and to be honest who wants to wake up with panda
eyes and a big zit the next morning?
Before you hit the sack - do use 2
cotton pads in makeup remover
and hold them against your eyes for a few seconds
before you gently swipe off your mascara.
For the rest of your face, always go in
an upward motion to thoroughly cleanse
without scrubbing the face and leaving behind wrinkles.
