hi
Want to achieve that natural make-up look? Before you start, make sure your face has been cleaned, toned, and moisturized. Remember, you’ll get a much better natural looking results when applying make-up on a clean face. Let’s begin with the eyes. Did you know 9 out of 10 people have dark circles in their eyes? Don’t be surprised, you are not alone.
Now, tilt your head down and locate where your dark circles are. Let’s begin with the right eye. Take your favorite concealer and apply it gently on the dark circle using your ring ringer. Make sure you blend in the concealer in a rolling motion to make it look natural.
I’m using my ring finger because we need to be delicate to our under eyes. Some people might prefer using a brush or sponge though. You should use whatever tool works best for you too. Now, let’s do the left eye. Locate, dab on and blend the concealer using a rolling motion. Remember, we are not trying to erase the dark circles; we’re only trying to make it less obvious.
After the eyes, we also need to conceal the other areas of the face. Take a face brush and apply mineral concealer lightly around the face. Concentrate on areas where the skin tends to be very red; it could be around the nose and the mouth. Blend the mineral concealer using a circular motion. We are doing this to even out our skin tone.
After the concealer, we move on to the foundation. Evenly coat your foundation brush with a mineral based foundation. Starting at the center of your face, blend in the foundation evenly using a circular motion. Don’t forget to include your jaw line and neck.
This mineral product that I’m using is very natural so it won’t clog the pores. And it works very well for me.
We are now moving on to the eyebrows. Eyebrows can be a little tricky. The rule of thumb is to use eyebrow make-up that’s three shades lighter than your hair color. I usually use powder make-up for my eyebrows. When applying it, I usually go from light to dark. Remember, you want to make it look very natural, as if it’s your real eyebrows. So make sure you blend it properly.
There are lots of eyeliner varieties you can choose from. You can either use eyeliner in pencil, powder, or liquid form. I personally use liquid eyeliner. If you want a naturally clean look, line only the top part of your eyelids. Make sure you evenly line both your eyes.
Before applying any mascara on, be sure you curl your lashes first. When you’ve done that, take your mascara and evenly coat both your lashes. There are different types of mascara brands. But if you want something that holds curls very well, I suggest you go for waterproof mascara since it contains more wax.
