Tip no. 1 – Always use a primer

Applying primer

Before you apply any makeup on your face, it is important that you wash and moisturize your face properly. Then apply a primer, as it not only blurs your pores & wrinkles to create smoother skin, it also helps makeup stay on for much longer. Primer acts as a protective barrier for your skin.

Tip no. 2 – Color correction

Color correction is used to cancel out shadows on the face if you have a natural five o’clock shadow. If you use an orange color corrector, that will help neutralize the bluish-shadowish tones on the face. You should always do this before you do foundation or concealer so everything is neutralized. Use only a small amount of color corrector to neutralize those bluey shadowy tones.

You can apply the color corrector on the corner of your mouth, under your eyes and then using a brush softly stipple that and diffuse it. The number one trick to make sure is that this stays in place and you’re actually correcting and not smearing everything around.

Once you have finished applying the color corrector, take the tiniest bit of face powder on a puff and lightly set apply on the places you color corrected. So, when you apply foundation and concealer, it doesn’t drag out and lose its purpose.

Tip no. 3 – Foundation

applying foundation

For foundation, go for long wear, more mattifying foundation because if you deal with a lot of texture on your face, using a dewy foundation is only going to highlight those textures whereas if you use a matte foundation it’s going to blur it out a bit.

Start bouncing/dabbing the foundation onto the skin with a damp makeup sponge/beauty blender and you’ll see that as soon as the foundation hits the skin, it takes away that orange of the color corrector from before and you are completely neutralized.

If you’re new to makeup, the number one thing you want to do is use a beauty sponge and tap/dab the foundation gently all over your face. When applying foundation, if you smear it on, you’re destroying all the pigment in that lovely product. So, if you tap it on, you’re going to keep all the pigment, keep the coverage and make it look flawless. Blending is important in achieving a natural and flawless look so blend the foundation nicely on your face until the lines are no longer noticeable.

Tip no. 4 – Concealer

Applying concealer

Now when it comes to concealer it is very important to assess your face. look at it and see what your face needs. If you keep everything a bit more toward the center of the face, it’s going to appear more feminine. If you are rounder, you can get away with creating more like angles but if you already have a very structured and defined face, go softer and keep it more towards the center of the face.

When bouncing in your concealer, you want to just tap at the product, you don’t want to necessarily move it around too much because you strategically placed your concealer in the areas that you want to lighten up. Once you tap in the concealer, it is very important to straight away set the under-eye using loose powder. This is to lock in the concealer and make it long-lasting for the rest of the day. You can use a waterproof, long-lasting, very mattifying powder to get rid of all the texture and all the pores.

Tip no. 5 – Eyebrows

The way you shape your brows can change the way your face looks. Many consider brows as the frame of the face. Back in the day, feminine brows were a bit thinner and more arched whereas in modern days eyebrows are structured brows with soft angled arches. If you don’t have many brow hairs, you can also create full bushy eyebrows with a little tiny bit of an arch using an eyebrow pencil and brush.

When it comes to the eyebrows, it’s best to use a long-lasting product that is budge-proof, sweat-proof, and waterproof. Pick up a little bit of product and pinch the bristles of the brush and make it super sharp, you can draw on individual hairs. Carve out the eyebrows shape with a concealer to get a nice perfect clean edge.

Tip no. 6 – Eye Makeup

Eye makeup is an important part of the whole makeup process. In general, if you want your eyes to be a bit more feminine, you want to go for rounded shapes, blending it up into the crease while still keeping the shape very rounded. Apply a thin but confident winged liner to just give the eyes that little bit more flair. Another handy trick for your eyes is opening up that inner corner of your eyes using a white liner. Draw a gentle line close to the black extension on the inner corner and that just opens up the eyes in such a beautiful flattering way.

Next is eyelashes. Lashes are really important because if it’s your goal to look more feminine and to get that female touch, long and thick eyelashes are exclusively a feminine thing. Use mascara to highlight and curl up your upper lashes. Also, gently highlight your lower lashes to create a more feminine and flirty look.

Contouring helps to sculpt your face in the way you like it. Two important products for contouring are bronzer and contour powder. For those who have a bigger forehead, you can use bronzer to lower your hairline and shrinks down the appearance of forehead. Contouring high up on your cheekbones rather than following your mouth to your ear will help add warmth and a bit of shape. Try to keep all the lightness towards the center of the face, it gives it a softer appeal whereas if you would leave this edge very sharp, it would give you more of an intense feel.

For that extra definition, pick up a contour shade or a matte bronzer that leans towards the cooler side a bit more. Go high up on your cheekbones to give yourself that warmth and a bit more depth. The number one trick to finding the places where contour suits your face.

The jawline is important because if you have a stronger jawline, you want to bring it in and make it softer. Put your contour right on the sharp edge in a rounded manner to keep things very soft. Contouring and highlighting can really help with the wideness and any unwanted shadows but what it does do is it makes your face more angular.
