1. Use a primer to even out skin tone. Spread the primer evenly on the back of your hand, then take an appropriate amount with your fingers. Apply it evenly across your face and press gently with your fingertips. Primers not only correct skin tone but also improve skin texture. They come in various shades; women should choose the correct corrective color based on their skin tone.
2. After applying foundation like you would primer, use concealer to cover dark circles and blemishes. Choose a concealer shade that matches your skin tone or is one shade lighter.Gently press and pat the concealer onto dark circles. Dip a brush into pressed powder, lightly tap it onto the concealed areas, and gently sweep from the inner corner to the outer corner of the eye.
3. Set your makeup with shimmering loose powder. Using a large brush, pick up a small amount of powder and sweep it in a T-shape across the T-zone. Apply it in circular motions on the cheekbones. For those with larger faces, use minimal shimmer powder—too much can make the face appear even larger.
Three Essential Rules for Sculpted Eye Makeup
1. Enclose the eyes with a precise, smooth eyeliner. Fill in all gaps between lashes by applying liner close to the lash line, starting from the inner corner and sweeping toward the outer corner.
2. Brighten the eye socket with a light pink eyeshadow. Apply a light brown shade across the entire socket. Use a small eyeshadow brush to intensify the color along the lash line with the same shade, creating depth. Highlight the brow bone at the arch with white eyeshadow to enhance dimensionality.
3. Curl lashes in three sections for a natural curl. Apply mascara horizontally along the upper lashes from root to tip. For lower lashes, hold the wand vertically and apply downward. While mascara is still wet, quickly comb through lashes with a dedicated lash comb to separate and lengthen them.
