Skin Prep (Very Important)
- Cleanser – Wash face to remove dirt/oil.
- Moisturizer – Hydrate skin (choose according to skin type).
- Sunscreen (Daytime) – Always apply SPF before makeup.
- Primer – Smooths skin & helps makeup last longer.
Face Makeup
- Foundation – Even out skin tone.
- Concealer – Brighten under eyes, cover blemishes/dark spots.
- Setting Powder – Lock foundation & concealer, reduce shine.
- Contour/Bronzer – Add definition to cheekbones, jawline, nose.
- Blush – Apply to cheeks for healthy flush.
- Highlighter – On high points (cheekbones, nose bridge, brow bone).
Eye Makeup
- Eyebrows – Fill/shape with pencil, powder, or gel.
- Eyeshadow – Start with transition shade → crease → lid → highlight inner corner.
- Eyeliner – Line upper/lower lash line.
- Mascara – Curl lashes and apply.
- (Optional) False lashes.
Lips
- Lip Balm – Prep lips so they’re smooth.
- Lip Liner – Define and prevent lipstick from bleeding.
