Over the past few years I have tried all sorts of ways to apply makeup in an easy quick way that will make my skin look at its best.
Almost every week I learn more tips from people online like kandee johnson. Here is a link to her youtube. http://www.youtube.com/user/kandeejohnson?blend=1&ob=4
I also learn about lots of different products I can use, of all different prices.
So here is my easiest tips on basic makeup =)
Remove makeup and cleanse Either in the shower or bathroom sink, I wash my face twice. Firstly to remove any makeup and secondly to cleanse my skin. A couple of times a week I exfoliate to keep skin smoothe.
Moisturise As soon as I have washed my face I dry it quickly and apply an eye creme and moisturiser to keep in that moisture.
Prime I leave my face to settle for atleast 5 minutes after moisturising. This will stop your makeup from fading or sliding off during the day. Your face should be moisturised not greasy. I prime using either a silicone primer like Revlon Bare naturals primer or I use my MAC fix spray till It has dried.
MAKEUP
Apply foundation I use either a brush or my finger tips, make sure either way whatever you use is clean. I find applying with fingertips is a good and cheap way to apply makeup and a greast way to cover each part of your face.
Conceal I lightly use my concealer brush and dab concealer on any blemishes, I then blend it into my foundation while it is still wet. I use a slightly lighter colour to cover any darkness and reflect the imperfection.
Blend and buff I use my duo fiber brush to help blend my foundation and concealer together. This also helps get rid of any excess thick looking foundation and leaves your makeup looking natural and buffed.
Set I set my makeup with mineral powder with my kabuki brush. Makes makeup look nice and flawless.
Bronze I lightly use my powder brush to dust a small amount of bronzer on parts of the face where sun will hit. Adds a nice glow to your skin. You can also use the bronzer on your cheeks, or to add contour.
Now that most of my makeup is done I get the small things done like...curling lashes, mascara, lippy...
And then I finally finish off my look with another spritz of my MAC Fix spray :) Because its aaaamazing!
Hope this helps :)
