Face Makeup Products

A lot of you have probably heard this, but the key to a flawless makeup look is in your skincare. But it goes without saying, if your skincare is on point and you use your face makeup products without knowing what to do, then the awesome skincare routine doesn’t really do anything to correct your makeup. So, balance is everything. Have an amazing skincare routine, but also a great makeup application with your beauty products.

For the makeup beginners, you’ve probably watched a couple of makeup tutorials and have seen different artists apply their makeup in different ways. Just a heads up, it’s totally fine and ok to wonder which is actually the right way. As we mentioned earlier, there is no rule. Every artist has discovered what works best for them, some skip a few steps and do one step before the other and that’s fine. As you practise more on your face with your makeup items you will also begin to develop a way that’s unique for your makeup application. As the artists say: Trust the process.

Ways to apply face makeup correctly - step by step

1. Skincare:

   Your skincare routine is very important as a way to prep your face before moving on to your face makeup. Skincare not only brings your face to a state that makes it convenient for applying face cosmetics, but they also keep your face moisturised and acts as a barrier between your skin and the products.

   Your daytime skincare routine right before your face or eye makeup products should include a cleanser, toner, serum, eye cream, treatment, moisturiser, face oil, and sunscreen. Depending on your skin type and your skin concerns and treatments, this routine may include more or fewer products. You can also choose to do some lip care using lip scrubs before you apply your lip makeup products later on.

2. Primer:

   A face primer is important because it reduces the appearance of your pores to give you that flawless base for the makeup items for your face. So, using your finger tips, press your primer into your pores rather than glide it over your skin.

3. Foundation:

   Down to business, the first part of the makeup routine. As you may already know there are different ways to apply your foundation. You can go for a beauty blender or a makeup brush. Before using a beauty blender, be sure to pump it with water and squeeze the water out before you apply your foundation with it. Using a brush requires you to use one side of the brush going in one direction rather than back and forth. This would prevent a cakey base. Also, be sure to apply some lip balm to prevent your lips from getting chapped before you finish applying your makeup.

4. Concealer:

   Concealer is the next step and it is used to brighten areas of your face like underneath your eyes, the areas around your nose, your chin, and the centre of your forehead. You can use concealer as the base for your eyes as well to brighten them before you apply your eye mascara or any other eye products.

5. Powder:

   Setting your concealer with some powder is very important. Concealer alone without setting it with some powder would crease the areas where you put the concealer. So, as soon as you apply your concealer with your beauty blender, be sure to set it immediately with some powder. Do not rub the powder in, rather, press it into your skin on top of the concealer. You can also set your eyelids with some powder when you prep them with concealer. This will create a base for you to apply eye shadows and eye kajal and or your liquid eyeliner.

6. Contour:

   To bring back structure and depth into your face, a contour is a product that can help you. It adds shadows to your face and can be applied beneath your cheekbones, your hairline, and your jawline. Be sure to blend it out properly with a brush so there aren’t any harsh lines and it blends seamlessly into the rest of your face makeup. Contour can also be used on your nose and when done the right way, you can make your nose appear whichever way you want.

7. Bronzer:

   Bronzer is a warm shade of face cosmetics that is usually confused with contour. Bronzer is used to add warmth to your skin and is applied above the contour. Bronzer can be applied below your cheekbones, below your hairline, the natural lift of your eyes, the tips of your nose, etc. This gives your skin a natural tan look.

8. Blush:

   Blush is used to add colour to your face. A lot of people skip this step when they’re going for a clean nude look. The bronzer adds warmth to the face and if you’re looking for more colour, a rosy blush will give you that. Apply blush to your cheeks. Depending on your face shape, you can apply it to other places on your face.

9. Highlighter:

   Highlighter will give you that glow you’ve been looking for. Add a highlighter on your cheekbone, the bridge and tip of your nose, your brow bone, and your cupid’s bow before you apply your lip makeup products. Brush some, lightly, on your chin and the centre of your forehead.

10. Setting Spray:

    Setting spray is the one key ingredient to lock your makeup in place. Apply setting spray after each step in your makeup routine before moving to the next step. The right setting spray can keep your makeup looking flawless for 24 hours. After this, you can focus on your eyes and your lips. Be sure to apply your lip liner before you apply your lipstick.

Face Makeup Tips & Hacks

1. Foundation:

   Ensure that the foundation you’re using is your exact shade. If you can’t find your exact shade, then get two shades of foundation, one lighter and the other darker. You can mix these two shades to get your perfect shade.

2. Colour correct:

   If you have really dark scars, dark circles, or hyperpigmentation you want to cover, concealer alone cannot do the trick. Apply the orange colour in a colour corrector over the area before your foundation but after your primer. To cover the redness on your face, use the green colour. Conceal and then apply your foundation. Or apply your foundation first before your concealer.

3. Smile/Laugh lines:

   A lot of makeup lovers have probably experienced this when your smile lines start to show through your makeup. It can be really frustrating especially if you have a long day ahead of you. The trick is to apply some eyeshadow primer on your smile lines before your foundation. Or you can use some concealer, powder, and setting spray before you apply your foundation.
