How to Apply Day Makeup

Steps in brief: 

1. Test the foundation on your cheekbones to know if you are using the correct color. 

2. Use your foundation brush to apply the foundation. This will ensure that no streaks are visible on your face. Don’t apply a pink or yellow-toned foundation to give color to the skin, the foundation is only the basis to any make-up. 

3. Use a cover stick that is 1-2 shades lighter than your skin. This can be applied over the whole eyelid and also on blemishes and acne scars. A green cover stick can be used to cover any red areas on the skin. Just make sure that you blend the cover stick well. 

4. Loose transparent powder is the best to use. Avoid any powder that has a glow, because this will create a wet look. Concentrate especially on the eyelids and the lips. The main purpose of the powder is to ensure that the eye shadow and lipstick stay on for longer. 

5. Take an eyebrow/eyeliner pencil and dip it into some brown or black eye shadow and fill in your eyebrows. Then you will take your highlighting brush and dip it into beige, gold, or white eye shadow color and apply this color all over your eyelid. Then you will take your eye shadow applicator brush and dip it into the required eye shadow color that you want to apply. This color you will apply in the fold of your eye, making sure that you follow the natural shape of your eye. 

6. Then you can apply eyeliner on top of your eyelashes in a very soft line and blend it in very well just to soften it up. You can use a brown or black eyeliner or otherwise you can use any other color that will complement the eye shadow color that you have on. 

7. Apply 1 or 2 coats of mascara onto your eyelashes in zigzag movements. This zigzag movement will ensure that your eyelashes are separated from each other and it will also make your eyelashes appear longer. 

8. Then you can apply blush- one with a glow or either one that has a matte finished look. The blush must be applied softly to the cheeks or just underneath your cheekbones and it must be blended in well, otherwise, it will look harsh and unnatural. A creamy blush has the tendency to smudge and it can also create a wet look. 

9. Line your lips with a soft and natural lip liner pencil and blend this lip liner in by using a cotton bud and moving it softly over that line. Then you will take your lipstick brush and fill in your lips with a soft peachy or pinkish color. Finish the look off by applying lip gloss to your lips.
