Beginner's Guide to Application

Applying makeup can be a fun and creative way to enhance your features and express your personal style. However, it can also be intimidating for beginners who are not familiar with the products or techniques. Here are some basic tips for applying makeup for beginners:



1- it's very important to start with a clean, moisturized face before applying any makeup. Cleansing your face removes dirt, oil, and makeup from the surface of your skin, which can help to prevent breakouts and other skin problems. Moisturizing your face helps to hydrate your skin and create a smooth, even base for your makeup. It also helps to lock in your skin's natural moisture, which can help to prevent dryness and flaking. Make sure to use a gentle cleanser and moisturizer that is appropriate for your skin type. Also, consider using a toner after cleansing to get rid of any extra dirt and oil, and help your skin's pH balance.

2-using a primer before applying foundation can help create a smooth base for your makeup, and also help your makeup stay in place for longer.

A primer is a product that is applied to the skin before foundation, it helps to create an even canvas for your makeup and it can also help to minimize the appearance of pores, fine lines, and wrinkles. It also helps to create a barrier between your skin and your makeup, which can help to prevent your makeup from sinking into your skin and looking patchy.

Primers come in different forms, some are silicone-based and they help to fill in fine lines and wrinkles, while others have a more light-reflecting particle that can help to brighten up your skin and blur any imperfections.

You can also find a primer with sun protection, if you're going to be outside for an extended period of time, that can be a great way to add an extra layer of protection to your skin.

It's important to note that primer is optional, you can still achieve a great makeup look without it. It's more of a preference based on your skin needs and personal preference

3- the foundation is used to even out your skin tone and cover any imperfections. The key to applying foundation is to make sure it matches your skin tone as closely as possible. To do this, you should test the foundation on your jawline, as this is usually the most accurate indicator of your true skin tone.

When applying foundation, you can use a variety of tools, such as a foundation brush, a beauty sponge, or even your fingers.

A foundation brush is great for creating a flawless and seamless finish. A beauty sponge is also a great option, as it allows you to press the foundation into your skin, creating a more natural, skin-like finish. Using your fingers is also a good option, as it allows you to warm up the foundation and it's easy to use.

It's important to apply foundation in thin, even layers. This will help to prevent your makeup from looking cakey or heavy. If you need more coverage, you can always build up the foundation gradually, rather than applying it all at once.

Also, it's important to remember to blend the foundation well, especially around the hairline and jawline, to avoid any visible lines.

If you have oily skin, consider using a matte or oil-free foundation, as it can help to reduce shine. If you have dry skin, consider using a hydrating or dewy foundation, as it can help to add moisture to your skin.

4- using a concealer is a great way to cover blemishes and dark circles under your eyes. Concealer is a thicker and more pigmented product than foundation, and it's specifically formulated to cover and conceal imperfections such as blemishes, dark circles, and discoloration.

When using a concealer for blemishes, it's important to choose a shade that matches your skin tone as closely as possible. A concealer that is too light or too dark will not blend in seamlessly with your skin and will be more visible.

To apply concealer, use a small brush or your fingers to dab it directly onto the blemish or dark circle. Then, use a small blending brush or your ring finger to blend the concealer into your skin, making sure that there are no visible lines or edges. You can also use a beauty sponge to blend the concealer, this can help to create a more natural finish.

For dark circles, it's best to use a concealer that is one or two shades lighter than your skin tone. This will help to brighten up the area and make it look more awake. You can also use a color-correcting concealer, these are specially formulated to neutralize specific color tones, for example, a peach concealer can help to neutralize blue/purple circles.

It's important to remember to blend, blend, blend! This will help to ensure that the concealer looks natural and seamless on your skin.

Also, consider using a setting powder to set the concealer in place. This will help to prevent it from creasing or smudging throughout the day.
