Makeup can enhance your natural beauty, boost confidence, and be a fun form of self-expression! Here's a beginner-friendly step-by-step guide on how to do makeup:
πΈ Step 1: Prep Your Skin
Healthy skin = a great base for makeup!
-
Cleanse your face with a gentle cleanser.
-
Moisturize with a lightweight moisturizer (even if you have oily skin).
-
Apply a primer to smooth your skin and help makeup last longer.
✨ Step 2: Foundation & Concealer
-
Choose a foundation that matches your skin tone and type (liquid, cream, powder).
-
Apply it using a makeup sponge, brush, or clean fingers.
-
Use concealer under your eyes and on any blemishes or redness.
π‘ Pro Tip: Blend, blend, blend! No harsh lines.
π Step 3: Brows
-
Fill in your eyebrows with a pencil, powder, or gel.
-
Follow your natural shape and fill in any sparse areas.
𧑠Step 4: Eyeshadow & Eyeliner
-
Start with neutral tones if you're new—browns, soft pinks, or champagne shimmer.
-
Apply a light shade on the entire lid, a medium shade in the crease, and a darker shade on the outer corner for depth.
-
Use eyeliner to define your eyes. A simple line along the lash line does wonders.
π♀️ Step 5: Mascara
-
Apply mascara to your top and bottom lashes to open up your eyes.
-
Wiggle the wand from base to tip for full coverage.
π Step 6: Blush, Bronzer & Highlighter (Optional)
-
Blush: Adds a healthy glow. Smile and dab on the apples of your cheeks.
-
Bronzer: Adds warmth—lightly sweep along cheekbones, forehead, and jawline.
-
Highlighter: Dab on cheekbones, brow bone, and nose tip for glow.
π Step 7: Lips
-
Use lip balm first to hydrate.
-
Choose a lipstick, gloss, or tint that complements your look—nude, pink, red, etc.
π¦ Step 8: Set Your Makeup
-
Use a setting spray or a light dusting of translucent powder to help your makeup stay fresh all day.
