Make-up is a fun way to enhance your natural beauty, but how do you apply makeup and what goes first before the other? Follow these simple steps and learn how to apply make-up correctly!

FOLLOW THESE SIMPLE STEPS TO APPLYING MAKEUP!

STEP #1. CONCEALER

Wash your face and apply moisturizer.
Apply concealer to any dark spots like underneath and around your eyes.
make sure it is a shade lighter than your foundation so it covers any dark spots.

STEP #2. FOUNDATION
Apply foundation on to your face using a clean sponge or brush.
Start at your forehead and blend down to your nose and sides. Continue to blend down to your cheeks, upper lip and chin in a downward motion.
Always blend downwards never up because blending up can clog your pores and won't look nice.
Blend down to your neck to make sure you don't end up with a line of makeup on the sides of your lower cheeks.


STEP #3. LOOSE POWDER

Apply a little bit of loose powder to your face using a brush just to set the foundation in place and move on to your eyebrows.

STEP 4. EYEBROWS

Using a pencil or loose powder to fill in the natural shape of your eyebrows using light strokes.

STEP #5.  EYESHADOW

You will need three shades, one light,medium and dark.
Start with the light color and apply with the brush all over the eyelid and blend up towards the brow bone.
Next is the medium, apply it with a brush to the eyelid only and blend well.
Last is the dark color, start at the outer corners of the eyes and blend towards the middle of the eyelids and up a little past were the eyelid folds. Blend,blend,blend!
This will create the illusion of a shadow and will make your eyes stand out.

STEP #6.  EYELINER

start at the inner part of your eyelid and draw a line going toward the outer corner of the eyelid. stay as close to your eyelashes as possible.
You can line the bottom lashes too if you want.

STEP #7.  MASCARA

Apply a mascara that gives your eyelashes volume.
Double coat if necessary but do not over do it.
Coat the bottom lashes too just a little.

STEP #8.  BLUSH

Smile to reveal the apple of your cheeks!
Apply a little bit of blush powder with your brush and dot on the apple of your cheeks and blend upwards towards your cheek bones. Blend well!

STEP #9. LIPSTICK

Apply lipstick or lip gloss to the top and bottom of your lips.
You can use a lip liner if your lips are very thin and you want to create fuller lips.
Blot any excess lipstick on a paper towel.

STEP #10.  LOOSE POWDER AGAIN

Apply a little bit of loose powder to give it that finish touch.

Last but not least the most important step!
Feel good! and keep a positive attitude!
When you look good you feel good!
