Getting our makeup right is a daily mission for us, whether we’re mastering how to blush the cheeks right or how to match foundation to the skin tone. Are you thinking how to do professional makeup? We’ve listed some easy tips and tricks that could help make you become a pro makeup artist in no time.
1. Right Tools: Yes ladies, if you really want to know how to apply makeup like a professional, remember tools like sponges and brushes are as important as your beauty products. A good brush is one that has dense, soft and fluffy hair; the one which helps you blend your makeup evenly and the one which gives you a flawless finish without wasting a lot of your product. So whether you are a professional makeup artist or an amateur, remember investing in a quality foundation brush can make even the most inexpensive products look like a dream.
Tip: Remember to wash your brush properly after you’ve used it. You can use an alcohol-based cleanser to clean the brushes and towel-dry them around the bristles.
2. Ace The Base: As tedious as it can be, but getting our makeup base right is something we religiously follow.
3. Cleanse Your Skin:
Start the routine with cleansing of the face. Once cleansed, apply a nourishing moisturizer made exclusively for your skin type. A creamy moisturizer sometimes can cause makeup to thin out. So wait for a minute until it is absorbed!
4. Prime Face: Then apply what we call a beauty-boosting primer, under your foundation to maintain your makeup’s true shade throughout the day.
5. Conceal It: Next, pick a concealer for your coverage. That means if you have any blemishes or under-eye puffiness or want to brighten your look then apply a concealer.
6. Foundation: If you are like us – not blessed with even, blemish-free skin – you would understand that finding a right foundation and applying it perfectly is as hard as finding a job! To crack the code, dab a foundation that matches your skin on to the top of your cheekbones, temples, and lightly on the nose for an easy, sun-kissed look. Once done, buff some Loose Setting Powder so that your foundation doesn’t turn darker as the day wears on.
7. Blushing Hearts: Choosing and applying blush is a kind of art which if not done right, could make you look like a tomato. So to achieve a rosy cheek look, apply your favorite blush to the apples of your cheeks and blend out towards the temples.
8. Make Them Pop: For most of us eye makeup has been a hit or a miss. And if you want to get the basics right, begin it by applying a subtle, neutral base colour from the lash line to the brow. When applying an eye shadow, remember to build colour up slowly. So after the neutral shade, put a stronger second colour on the sockets and the third (if required) along the crease, from one corner to the other. Next, apply good black or colored pencil eyeliner, from the inner corner to the centre of the lid, and from the outside corner to the middle. Lastly, to give you the appearance of long, thick gorgeous eyelashes, swipe a super-dramatic coat of mascara.
9. Lips Don’t Lie: For a luscious pout with staying power, begin with lining your lips with a good-quality lip liner, and work it from the corners of the lips to the middle. Then fill the lips with lip liner and dab a coat of loose powder on to help the lipstick last longer. Then use a thin lip brush to apply lipstick over the entire lip and blot it with a tissue paper. Lastly, for a shiny look, apply a coat of lip gloss. Now that you know how to do professional makeup at home, go ahead and try your makeup artistry skills.
