How to Apply Makeup
If you are unfamiliar with applying cosmetics, putting on your makeup for work, leisure or special occasions can be a time consuming process. The best way to get it done quickly is to prepare your face properly, have the right tools and to take it one step at a time.
- Clean and moisturize your face thoroughly.
- Apply a small amount of liquid foundation on your cheeks, forehead, chin and nose. Blend it with a makeup sponge or a foundation brush.
- Sweep a blush brush across your blusher to pick up your cheek color. Sweep the cheek color from the apples of your cheeks out towards your temple.
- Use an eyeshadow primer on your lids to help your eyeshadow last longer.
- Sweep a medium shade of eyeshadow from your lid to your brow bone using an eyeshadow brush.
- Use a darker shade of shadow in the crease of your lid and slightly beyond.
- Blend the two shades of color using an eyeshadow blending brush.
- Apply two coats of mascara to your lashes. Allow the mascara to dry between coats.
- Pick up loose powder with a fluffy powder brush. Sweep the loose powder over your face to set your makeup and across your lips to help your lipsticks to adhere.
- Apply your lipstick either with a brush or straight from the tube. A lipstick brush will give you better control during the application process.
