As part of the new year you might of made the New Year’s Resolution to experiment a little more with makeup. You also might be a little unsure of what you should be doing like I often am. Below are some quick makeup tips to help you with your New Year’s Resolution.
- Wash your face: Before applying makeup in the morning, wash your face so you’ll be able to start with a fresh canvas. Use a cleanser or simply splash lukewarm water on your face a few times to wash away any debris on your skin. Pat it dry gently with a soft towel.
- Apply a moisturizer: The last step before applying makeup is putting on some moisturizing lotion. This will help your makeup go on more easily and create a better final look. Choose a good face moisturizer that works with your skin type. Massage it gently all over your face. Don’t forget your eyelids, lips, and nose.
- Choose a foundation that works with your skin type and matches your coloring: Liquid foundation is a fine choice for many types of skin. You can also use tinted moisturizer or BB cream. If your skin is on the oily side, you might want to consider compact or powder ofoundation.
- Apply concealer: Choose a concealer that matches your skin tone – or, if you have dark under-eye circles, go one shade lighter. Apply a light amount of concealer using either a concealer brush or your finger by dabbing it under your eyes and gently blending it in.
- Apply powder: Choose a powder that matches your skin tone. Use a powder brush (a large, fluffy brush that will apply the powder evenly) to apply the powder to your face in a circular motion.
- Apply blush: Choose a pink-toned blush that brings out the best in your facial coloring. Swirl a blush brush in the container, smile, and apply it to the apples of your cheeks in a circular motion.
- Apply eyeshadow: Choose a neutral shadow pallet for a simple, everyday look. Brown, gold, grey, and blue tones are all good choices, depending on your eye color
- Apply eyeliner: Choose a charcoal, navy, or brown eyeliner to use during the day – save your black eyeliner for nighttime wear.
- Apply eyeshadow: Choose a neutral shadow pallet for a simple, everyday look. Brown, gold, grey, and blue tones are all good choices, depending on your eye color
- Apply mascara: Apply one coat of mascara on both your upper and lower lashes. Insert the brush at the base of your lashes and sweep outward
- Apply lip color: Use a pink or neutral-colored lipstick or lip gloss to finish your everyday look.
