Making mistakes while applying makeup can waste a lot of time, effort, and of course, makeup. Here is how to apply them in the right order:
Contrary to popular belief that the base is the first to be applied, eye makeup is actually the first. Remember when you try applying mascara and little black dots mess up your foundation and concealer?
The first thing to apply would be mac wholesale cosmetics eye shadow, followed by eye liner, and topped off with mascara. After eye makeup is ready and mascara is dry, apply some cream based cover up that is one shade lighter than your skin tone. Pat it on to camouflage circles around the eyes and deep shadows under the eyes. Use an oil free moisturizer on your blemishes before applying the cover up.
The next step is to apply the foundation. Use foundation of the light weight type with your fingers or with a sponge. Use it in moderation to avoid that “cakey” look and instead allow you to have a nice flawless look. If you want your cover ups to last throughout the day (or as long as it possibly can), use powder. MAC cosmetics have great products for this purpose. For that sun kissed glow, use a bronzing powder and focus on the tops of your cheek bones as well as the tip of your nose.
If your skin happens to get shiny in the middle of the day, touch up using some translucent formula. Blush is the next makeup that you can apply. According to experts, think of the shade that you would like to have on your cheeks and look for a color that is one shade brighter than the one you want. This will give you a fresh and cheerful look without looking clown like.
Lipstick or lip stain is the cherry on top of your makeup application. It is easy to know why, since it easily smudges if you apply it first and do the rest afterwards. Use a lip brush if you are going to use a shade that is eye popping bright or catchy dark. If it’s a fresh and smart look, then simply use a stain or a lipstick. To amp up the oomph factor, layer on some lip gloss. It reflects light and makes lips appear fuller. Brows would be your last step and can really affect the overall appeal of your face. Simply smooth your brows if you want to look fresh. Use a brow defining powder if you’re wearing something bright and colorful
