Makeup Tutorial

1. Moisturize your face with an oil-free moisturizer.
Then press a facial tissue all over your face to remove excess moisturizer.

2. Apply powder/creme foundation (if you have oily skin) or liquid foundation(for dry skin)
of your color (or else you'd look like you'd have a mask on lol) on your face. blend it in until it disappears.

3. Apply a salmon-toned concealer on your under eyes, inner corner of your eyes, and bridge of your nose. Use your finger to press it on your skin, don't blend it back and forth cause it'll mess up your foundation. It brightens up the area you place the concealer at. You can also dab the concealer on pimples to hide them. :) Make sure the concealer is your skin tone or your pimple will stand out LMAO.

4. After you do that, Dust a translucent or finishing powder all over your face. If there are imperfections that still show, press the finishing powder on it, rather than sweeping back and forth cause then your foundation will go away with it. :(

5) Shape and fill your eyebrows with a pencil liner or powder. What I do is take a small brush, brush it over the eyeliner so the eyeliner will be stuck on the brush, then I use that brush (containing eyeliner) to shape my eyebrow. I would use a shade lighter than my eyebrows if theyre dark.. and if my eyebrows are naturally light, id use a shade a little darker. like opposite. Use light strokes, cause your eyebrows will looked fucked up if you stroke the same area too much xD did that, not a good idea. After that, get a brow comb/brush and comb/brush your eyebrows.


6) Now for the prime! smooth it from your lash line to your brow line. Then apply your eyeshadow (if you want to use it, if not, then dust a translucent powder over your lids).

7) Bring out the shape of your eyes by working a creamy black or dark brown eyeliner into your top lash lines. You may gently run the eyeliner along your bottom lash lines as well to balance out your eye makeup, but keep your hand light so your lower lash lines do not appear heavy and drag your eyes down. You aren't actually lining your eyes so much as making your lash lines appear thicker. However, you can draw a slightly thicker line on your top lids if you want more definition--just make sure to stay close to the lashes, leaving no spaces where skin can peek through in between your liner and lash line. If you have a monolid and cannot wear eyeliner without it smudging on your eyelids, use a waterproof liquid eyeliner on your top lash lines.

8) Curl your eyelashes and apply mascara. make sure there are no clumps!

9) Now for the cheeks and lips.. there are two ways to do it.

9A) suck your cheeks in, and apply bronze on the bone line part. then apply blush after (if you want, not required)

9B) Get a cheek and lip stain. Pick a shade with peachy or golden hues if your skin has warm undertones, and a shade with pinkish or silvery tones if your skin has cool undertones. use the same product for a natural look. anyways, dot them at the apples of your cheeks and blend. then apply the stain from the center of your lips outwards. and top it with a clear liploss. ;D
