Introduction
We all know that the first impression is a lasting one. That’s why it’s so important to make sure your makeup looks perfect before you go out in public. Here are some tips for making sure your lipstick, blush, eyeliner, and other cosmetics are absolutely flawless:
Lip liner
In order to ensure that your lipstick stays in place and doesn’t bleed, it’s important to use a lip liner that matches the color of your lipstick. This will help create a barrier between the two products and prevent them from mixing together on your lips.
If you’re using a matte formula, which is common for long-lasting lipsticks, then it’s even more important to prime and define before applying any other product on top of them because they tend not to have any shine or glossiness that would otherwise make up for any flaws in the application process. A good way around this issue is by using a pencil liner instead of liquid; pencils tend not only be more precise but also last longer than liquids once set into place (which can be particularly helpful if you’re prone toward smudging).
Lipstick
The first step is to choose a lipstick that complements your skin tone. Lipsticks come in a variety of shades and formulas, so it’s important to find one that works for you. To do this, consider what colors look best on you–do you prefer warmer hues like red or pink? Or do cooler tones like purple, blue and green suit your complexion better? Once you’ve settled on a color palette based on these factors, pick out some lipsticks from said spectrum (you can use Sephora’s online tool).
Next up: applying lip balm before applying lipstick! This will give the product something to adhere onto when applied directly over bare skin. Now comes the fun part: putting it all on display! Start by applying the hue at center of lips then working outward until evenly distributed across entire pout area (don’t forget about those Cupid’s Bow). Then blot off any excess color using tissue paper or napkin after application so there aren’t any streaks left behind once dry
Blush
Blush should be applied to the apples of your cheeks. This will help you get a natural, soft look.
Apply blush after foundation but before powder. It’s okay if it gets on your skin or face powder–it won’t ruin anything!
Use a brush and apply circular motions with light pressure until desired amount is achieved (don’t overdo it!).
Eyeshadow
For the eyes, you want to be sure that your shadow is in a neutral shade and of course has a matte finish. The color should also match your skin tone. For instance, if you have fair skin with rosy undertones, then go for something like champagne or sandstone; if you have olive-toned skin with greenish undertones, opt for bronze or copper instead.
If applying eyeshadow is new territory for you (and even if it isn’t), we recommend using brushes rather than fingers–they’ll help keep everything neat and tidy!
Perfecting your lip makeup requires the right tools.
- Lip liner is a must. It keeps lipstick from bleeding and helps you achieve a clean line.
- Apply lipstick after lining your lips with lip liner, which will make it easier to get an even application.
- You can apply blush over the lipstick, but if you’re going for natural-looking cheeks, try applying it before putting on any other makeup (like eyeshadow).
Conclusion
You don’t need to be a makeup expert to perfect your lip makeup. All it takes is the right tools and some practice. The next time you get ready for work in the morning, try one of these tips out and see how much better your lips look!
