At some point, you have to agree that applying makeup is not that simple. When you have never applied makeup before or are not used to applying makeup, this process can be somewhat intimidating. But here’s a secret for you. Once you learn some basic tips to apply makeup, believe it or not, it will be enjoyable and fun for you. That said, here are some important steps that will help you when applying makeup to your face.
Get the Right Makeup Products
With so many beauty products on the market, it is hard to know what to buy. To get the best results when applying makeup, you need to get the right products that fit your skin complexion. Ideally, the makeup you use should blend in well with your skin type and color. In addition, they should not be much lighter or darker.
Prepare Your Face
It would be best if you prepared your face before applying makeup. You start by cleaning your face gently using a towel or wet wipes to remove any makeup that was left on your skin. It is also worth noting that cleaning comes in handy in removing sweat and any debris on your skin that could interfere with the makeup application process. Once you are done cleaning, apply a face moisturizer to keep your face moisturized and smooth. Also, add a primer on your face to make the makeup stay intact all day.
Apply Foundation and a Concealer
Using a foundation sponge or brush, apply foundation on your face and blend it well with your skin. To make this easier for you:
- Put some foundation on your hand and apply it to your face using a brush.
- Apply the foundation well enough and blend it with your neck and earlobes.
- Apply the concealer to cover dark circles and blemishes on your skin.

Using a pencil liner or a liquid liner and mascara, underline your eyelids. Do this very carefully and gently because of your eyes’ sensitive nature. You can also use an eyeshadow to make your eyes appealing and attractive. Use different shades depending on your outfit. You can as well blend in lighter and darker shades.
Color your Lips
Before you apply lipstick, moisturize your lips by applying a lip balm. Then choose a lip color that complements your overall look. You can use a lip liner to create a definite shape and define your lip area if you wish.
