5 Essentials to Flawless Makeup

 

1. Exfoliate & Moisturize
Exfoliation is most essential element in skin care. If your skin's dead cells are not removed, the makeup will not sit properly on your skin and sometimes look Ashy or Cakey. After a quick facewash, towel dry and use a light-weight moisturizer to moisten ur skin depending on ur skin type.

2. Primer
I know so many makeup gurus always have said it and Yes it is so true. A primer before applying any type of foundation is a must; if you are using BB Creams i would say you can skip it but for all other foundations start with a primer for your skin type for instance Makeup Forever Step 1 Equalizers come in to tackle any type of skin issues from Oily, Dry to Acne prone etc

3. Conceal & Correct
This step is important for those with various skin issues such as redness/acne, pigmentation, dark spots, dark circles etc You need to color correct using the opposite cancels each other technique in the Color Wheel. For instance, Redness is covered by using Green corrector while Orange cancels out Bluish dark circles.  A Concealer typically yellow one must be applied over to hide more imperfections.

4. BeautyBlender
Yes guys i am not sponsored or anything, speaking out of my experience. You can really achieve an AirBrush or Flawless look by using this Amazing Innovative Sponge known as the BeautyBlender. You can almost Buff any type of product from liquid to powder into your skin and gently dab it in rolling motion across and away from your face (check Youtube videos for proper usage directions). The key is that it takes away excess product from your face so you are not loaded with unnecessary layers which is a key to a flawless makeup look.

5. Set Your Makeup
Do not skip this step, as you need all those efforts to settle down & look blended in. Use a setting spray such as Urban Decay Long Lasting Makeup Setting Spray Or one of everyone's favorite MAC Fix Plus. Spray it diagonally making "X" a few inches away from your face; Keep your eyes close while u r doing its magic.
