Let’s break down the process:
Step 1: Cleanse Your Face
Start by cleansing your skin with a gentle facial cleanser. Make sure to remove dirt and excess oil to create a fresh base for your makeup.
Step 2: Pre-Makeup Skincare
Apply a light moisturizer or primer to hydrate your skin. This will make your makeup last longer and look smoother.
Step 3: Apply Primer
After moisturizing, wait for your skin to absorb the product. Then, use a primer to smooth out pores and even skin tone. This helps create a flawless foundation.
Step 4: Apply Foundation
Choose a foundation close to your skin tone. Apply it evenly, and use concealer for any blemishes or dark circles.
Step 5: Set with Powder
If you have oily skin, set your makeup with translucent powder to control shine and make it last all day.
Step 6: Add Color (Brows, Eyes, Cheeks, Lips)
Brows: Fill in sparse areas using a brow pencil or powder.
Eyes: Use neutral eyeshadows and add eyeliner to define the eyes. Finish with mascara.
Cheeks: Apply blush to the apples of your cheeks for a fresh glow.
Lips: Use a lipstick or balm for a natural lip color.
Skincare First: Start with good skincare and sunscreen to create a healthy base.
Go Light: Apply makeup gently and in layers to keep it natural.
Avoid Bold Colors: Stick to neutral shades to avoid harsh contrasts.
Pat, Don’t Rub: When applying concealer, use a patting motion to blend.
Always Remove Makeup: Make sure to remove makeup properly at the end of the day to avoid skin damage.
1. Quick & Fresh Morning Look
For a quick, natural look, use a light concealer to cover dark circles and apply a sheer foundation for a fresh finish.
2. Korean-Inspired Peachy Look
Go for a natural, clean base with soft peach blush and a gentle lip tint for a youthful, fresh vibe.
That’s it, Lykkers! Follow these steps and you’ll soon be a makeup pro. Keep practicing, and most importantly—have fun with it!
