A Step-by-Step from the Pro
Skin Prep
Step 1: Start with skincare suited to your skin type.Cleanse thoroughly, moisturize well, and don’t forget sunscreen.
Tip: If your skin feels extra dry, add a few drops of face oil before makeup.
Eyes
Step 2: Shape your brows lightly, then apply concealer beneath the brow arch to define the shape. Create your eye base using concealer (one shade lighter than your skin tone) and blend it evenly across the lids.
Step 3: Build your crease using a soft brown eyeshadow.
Apply shimmer to the inner corners and over the crease for dimension.
Use brown eyeshadow or eyeliner to create a softly smudged wing for a smoky effect.
Tip: Apply a thin layer of eyeliner along the lash line for a sharp look, then clean up the edges for precision.
Step 4: Finish the eyes with lashes, either apply falsies or simply curl your natural lashes and coat them with mascara.
Base
Step 5: Apply primer to minimize the appearance of pores. If your skin is already smooth or you don’t have primer, you can skip this step.
Step 6: Use a color corrector to neutralize dark spots or pigmentation.
Step 7: Apply your foundation (you can mix two shades for a perfect match). Use a brush to spread it evenly, then blend with a damp beauty blender for a smooth, natural finish. Avoid applying too much under the eyes to prevent creasing.
Tip: For textured skin, use a thin, even layer. It may feel heavy at first but will settle beautifully.
Step 8: Apply concealer under the eyes, on the forehead, chin, and bridge of the nose (as shown in the reference image below). Use a small amount under the eyes, then lightly set with translucent powder.
Step 9: Lightly contour your jawline, cheekbones (from the ear toward mid-cheek), and nose bridge for subtle definition.
Step 10: Apply blush gently on the cheekbones, sweeping slightly upward, and dab a bit on the tip of your nose for a natural flush.
Finish with highlighter on the cheekbones, brow bone, and nose tip for a radiant glow.
Lips
Step 11: Outline your lips, then fill them in with your favorite lipstick shade.
Set your makeup with a light dusting of powder and finish with a setting spray for a long-lasting, flawless look.
