1. First, trim away stray hairs and shorten overly long eyebrows to define and refine this crucial facial feature.
2. Apply a primer as a base. Primers offer radiation protection and block airborne dust—an essential step even without makeup! Use a dense puff to evenly distribute the primer.
3. Apply a long-lasting foundation to even out skin tone. Only with a solid base can we "paint" on a flawless canvas.The large foundation brush used here ensures faster, more even application!
4. Next, to ensure the foundation blends seamlessly into the skin for a flawless, invisible finish, use a triangular sponge to press and set the makeup.
5. Continue by concealing dark circles and any imperfections—this is where it shines!
6. Set the makeup with loose powder. Here, I use a flat-top brush that I absolutely adore—it distributes powder evenly without looking heavy. Love it!
7. Press loose powder into the skin with a large powder puff for longer-lasting wear. I also use it to cushion my fingers, preventing direct contact with freshly made-up skin.
8. For the best results with this amazing eyebrow pencil, sharpen it into a duckbill shape! Trace along your natural brow line—typically, the inner and outer corners sit on the same horizontal line. The tail end should align with the extension of your inner nostril and outer eye corner!
9. Brush hairs upward with an eyebrow brush for a more natural look.
10. Use a professional eyebrow brush to blend the brow head. This prevents harshness and square brows, creating a natural transition.
11. Next, use a nose contour brush or eyeshadow brush to enhance the nose's dimensionality—this is called nose contouring. Key point: Keep it natural! Otherwise, it'll look fake and feel awkward when you step out.
13. Now comes the secret to instantly brightening your eyes: eyeshadow! I absolutely adore this shade—a forest-inspired hue!
14. Apply the reddish-brown shade as the second step to create depth. Blend it into the crease of your double eyelid.
16. Use the reddish-brown shade—remember, it's the reddish-brown, the second color Xiao R used—to blend and transition the outer third of the lower lash line.
17. Next comes the soul of the look: eyeliner! Haha, choosing a smooth, easy-to-apply liner is key~ I highly recommend this eyeliner—long-lasting and smudge-proof. I've gone through so many tubes of it.
18. Use an eyeliner brush to softly blend the harsh lower line for a more natural transition!
19. Curl lashes first.
20. Apply lengthening mascara.
21. Now, the absolute key to Xinwei's look—winged false lashes!Trim the excess clear stems at both ends with scissors, then apply long-lasting, non-shedding adhesive.
22. For lower lashes, choose an ultra-natural style. Cut into two sections and apply them to the outer corners of both eyes.
23. Now, use a powdery gold eyeshadow to highlight the inner corners, making your eyes appear closer together.
24. For cheek contouring to achieve a slimmer look, contouring is absolutely essential! But here's the thing: while there are countless contouring products on the market, many have such coarse powder that they simply won't blend! If you apply them without professional skill, you'll end up with a patchy, dark mess that looks terrible.
25. Use the white section for highlighting, applying it to the forehead, chin, and under the eyes.
26. Apply blush to enhance your complexion using an adorable chubby blush brush.
27. Next comes lip care.
28. Apply a Barbie pink lipstick as a base.
29. Finish with a lip gloss in the same color family.
30. Done! Makeup complete~ Now style your hair!
