🌟 Basic Makeup Tips for All Skin Types

1. Prep Your Skin

• Cleanse your face.
• Use a moisturizer suitable for your skin type.
• Apply a primer to smooth out pores and help makeup last longer.

2. Base Makeup

• Choose a foundation that matches your skin tone exactly.
• Apply using a damp beauty blender or foundation brush for a natural finish.
• Use concealer under eyes and on blemishes. Blend well.

3. Set the Base

• Use a translucent powder to set your foundation and concealer.
• If you have oily skin, focus on your T-zone (forehead, nose, chin).

4. Eye Makeup

• Start with a neutral eyeshadow base, then add depth with a darker shade in the crease.
• Use a kajal or eyeliner for definition.
• Curl your lashes and apply mascara.

5. Eyebrows

• Fill in sparse areas with an eyebrow pencil or powder.
• Brush them out for a natural look.

6. Blush & Contour

• Apply blush to the apples of your cheeks.
• Use a contour powder/cream under cheekbones, jawline, and sides of the nose for definition.

7. Highlighter

• Dab a highlighter on the high points of your face: cheekbones, nose bridge, brow bone, and cupid’s bow.

8. Lips

• Exfoliate and moisturize first.
• Use a lip liner to define.
• Apply your lipstick or gloss. For long wear, blot and reapply.

9. Set Your Makeup

• Finish with a makeup setting spray to lock everything in place.
