hey guys it's Jen and today I wanted to share with you a makeup for newbies makeup tutorial
so nothing in here is too extravagant it's just your basic tutorial that's going to be great for
class or work or just your everyday I'm gonna be a normal person going out and doing my makeup thing
makeup look so if you want to see how this is done then keep watching so I'm going to start off with
liquid foundation if you're a newbie you could always do tinted moisturizer or BB cream but this
is one of my favorite foundations its Neutrogena Healthy Skin Foundation in number 60 natural beige
I just poured a little bit on the back of my hand and you want to go lighter with this because you
can always add more but it's kind of messy if you start off with too much we're going to just dot
this onto our face and then blend it in with our brush so I'm just taking clean hands make sure you
wash your hands before this and I'm just dotting it around my face like that and I'm taking a dense
synthetic brush this is one of my favorites is the sigma f84 i also love the f82 which is just
rounded there are similar ones you can also get at the drugstore but this is my go-to brush so I'm
just kind of buffing this into my skin all over the focus here isn't to get every little thing
covered it's to just have a really light layer especially if you're new to wearing foundation
just going in light light layers and letting it kind of dry slightly in between is going to give
you the most natural finish generally what you want to do is have the most coverage kind of like
here in the middle of your face and then blend it out as you go out at this point you should have a
really nice even layer of foundation on your face and you should still be able to see your skin
texture you don't want to cake this on especially if you're new to foundation because it's going to
just look like you have a lot of makeup on and that's not what you want we're going to add a
bit of concealer to hide any spots that still show through but you really want to preserve your skin
texture next we're going to move on to concealer I'm using the Maybelline fit me concealer and
number 20 sand I'm going to apply this under my eyes just kind of like streak and do a couple dots
and then anywhere else that you have a little bit of discoloration showing like maybe if you have
acne hyperpigmentation like I do or sunspots you're just going to do a little dab here and
there to cover any little spots you need covered I also like to go over the redness around my nose
I'm taking my ring fingers which are the weakest and I'm just going to tap this into my skin
now to set the foundation and keep any oiliness peeking through at bay I'm using a powder for the
powder you're going to want to use a fairly light hand because again if you over powder
you're going to be able to see it on your skin and lose your skin texture I'm just going to press my
brush into it just kind of tap off the excess and I'm just going to Pat this in my t-zone area I'm
not going all the way out to every single area of my face I'm just going to cover where I get oily
so I'm just applying an eyeshadow primer this is going to keep everything from smudging all
over your face which is it much bigger problem than you might think I'm using L'Oreal's magic
decrease eyelid primer next I'm taking a big flat brush so this is Sigma e55 and I'm taking
this lighter color and I'm just applying this all over the lid so this first color is going
to go all over the main ball of your eye and as a little anatomy lesson if you push your brush
in just slightly you should have a little crease area showing up so this is the line of demarcation
above here is where your highlight shade would be right on top of your brow bone and then in this
outer little corner right here is where you're going to have a little bit of a contour slash
outer v crease color and that'll go right into the hollow of your eye socket I tapped a little
bit of a medium brown color onto the top of this pencil shaped brush and we're going to start at
this outer little contour area so I'm just taking the brush pointed toward my face and just pushing
it right at the corner and then I'm going to sweep it inward right here inside where that
crease shows up so I'm just going to bring this up very softly so that it blends into that previous
color we laid down you don't really want to go past about halfway you really want to keep it
in this outer and just blend it out really nicely how high this comes is really going to depend on
your own eyes shape but you want to make sure you have quite a bit of brow room here so you don't
want to bring this up too high you can always add more if it's not enough but if you have too much
it's really hard to take it away next I'm taking this brow bone color and I'm going to start right
underneath the arch of my brow right here and I'm blending this outward I'm not bringing it too far
in on my eyes because if you see light naturally hits me right here where the brow bone sticks out
the most so I really want to just mimic how light is naturally hitting my eye shape I'm also going
to add that same color here to the inner corners this inner corner trick in particular makes you
look a lot more brighter I'd and rusted which is always great I'm using that same secondary
brown eyeshadow on my lower lash line just about to the halfway point here I like using it because
it smudges a little bit less than using eyeliner on your lower lash line now I'm taking a small
angled brush and I'm just going to apply gel liner to my lashes I really love this for beginners
because you can pretty much use any other type of eyeliner and it'll be super easy not saying
this is really difficult but it's definitely going to be one that's very rewarding in the
long run of getting a really great-looking line that isn't going to smudge all over the place also
you're going to want to focus on the outer half being thicker and having the line be gradually
thinner as you go in so from this outer corner I'm going in the same angle as my lashes right
here and that's the angle I'm going to pull up this little wing at the end and then I'm going
to bring this line in and create a little wing if your monolid like me I like doing one extra
step which is to take the dark brown eyeshadow and we're going to just blend this top edge
so I'm doing this for a couple of reasons first of all if you're mano lidded then your eyes tend
to be a little bit oily and it might smudge really easily so that'll help set the eyeliner in place
also when your eyes are open in your mono lidded sometimes you can't see the eyeliner line so this
helps to extend it up while still having it look a little bit more natural than just having the
actual eyeliner go all the way up here and having a big black hole on your eye next I'm
going to curl my eyelashes I really think this is an invaluable step and if you want a full
video on my mascara routine and how to get really perfect lashes I'll leave an annotation right over
here so you can click that and check it out but right now I'm going to do those very steps to
get really full lashes for mascara I like using a waterproof formula because that seems to hold
lashes up if you've curled them you have a really straight lashes like I do and I like to tilt my
head backwards like this and I just wiggle them from the root of the lashes and pull upward that
usually seems to help me not get mascara all over myself the mascara I'm using is covergirl
LashBlast volume waterproof and also adding a little bit of mascara to my lower lashes and
I'm really going to just focus this on the outer half if you want to have a really dolly look you
can do this all the way around as well but for a day today I like making my eyes look a little bit
fanned out at the edges finally for the eyes I'm gonna fill in my eyebrows so I'm just taking this
Rimmel pencil and I'm going to do little strokes to fill in any sparse Ness just draw them in like
you're drawing little tiny hairs to fill in your entire eyebrow it's so important to keep brows
green because it really does frame your face and it makes you look a lot more put together now I'm
just going to finish off my face with a blush this is Milani Luminoso I kind of go for a peach color
because I feel like that's a great everyday warm color on me but on your skin it might be
a pink or a little bit more of a bronzey color just try to choose whatever looks most natural
on you and comfortable for you to wear everyday so I'm just taking this angled brush this is the
Sigma f40 I'm going to start over here at the top of my cheekbones near my ears I'm going to just
press this in little circular motions bringing it toward the center of my cheeks that'll just help
it to blend softly forward so that you don't have racer stripes and you don't have little circles on
the front of your cheeks either this just gives a really nice natural-looking flush the last step of
face is the lips so depending on your preference you can either go for a lipstick like this this is
the Revlon lipstick in peach parfait I absolutely love this for everyday or you can go with a gloss
this is my current obsession it's the NYX butter gloss in sugar cookie so that's what I'm going
to use today so I'm just dabbing this in the center of my lips and then I'm blending it out
