5 Step Makeup Guide

The first pre-requisite for makeup is a clean skin, so cleanse your face with a face wash or a cleansing milk. Also follow the other regular steps of toning and moisturising so that the skin is in perfect shape before applying makeup. This is to ensure that the skin is nourished and doesn’t flake after makeup application else your foundation will show lines and crack.

Now follow these steps listed below to get gorgeous:

1) Use a concealer on the scars and blemishes to give an even tone to the skin. Cover up the area under the eyes, it will not only cover the dark circles but will also give a smooth effect. The fine lines will disappear, follow up with liquid foundation and compact for a thorough coverage.

2) Dress up your eyes with bold eyeshadow. Use a turquoise blue eye-shadow on the outer corner of the eyes and blend it with a soft pink coloured eye shadow applied on the inner corner. Blend the two in the centre, experiment with other bold colours.

3) Define your eyes with an eyeliner applied on the upper eye lid enhancing the shape of your eyes with upward strokes which extend slightly beyond the edge of your eye. Fill your lower eyelids with black kohl pencil or kajal. Touch it up with mascara, apply it on both the upper and lower lashes.

4) Highlight your cheeks with a blusher in a natural pink shade, to get it right you need a dome shaped brush. Smile and apply the blusher on the highest point of the cheek.

5) Finish the look with a lipstick and add some shine with a lip gloss. Skip the lip liner for a change and keep the shade of your lipstick light, this will highlight your bold and dramatic eyes.
