Instructions:
Face
- Cleanse and moisturize your face. Make sure to use a matte moisturizer if you have oily skin, to control excess oil secretion for long hours. Dry skinned people should go for a nourishing moisturizer to avoid tight stretchy feel or white patches while applying makeup. A good nourishment in dry skin leads to smoother application and flawless finish.
- After moisturizing your skin, start applying your concealer on the areas near nose, under eyes and flaws. Blend it well with your concealer brush without any streaky patches. You can also skip your concealer if your face is flawless.
- When the application of concealer is done, you need to put on your foundation. You can use a powder foundation or a water based one if you have oily skin. Dry skins can go for cream foundation to get blended easily on the dry and rough parts. Make sure to select a waterproof foundation whatever your skin type is, to save your makeup from sweating.
- Brush and dust your facial skin with a loose powder or a compact to set the foundation and even out your skin tone.
- You have finished your base makeup now. The other things should be done are eye makeup, lipstick and lip gloss application and blush application (Optional). This makes a perfect and simple party look when worn lovely jewels along. Grand jewels suit with simple makeup look well than the overdone makeup.
Eyes
- We have already applied a concealer to hide those dark circles and flaws around eyes, so no need to add anything extra for this simple makeup look. For a long staying powder of your eye makeup, do use a primer and set it with a loose powder again. One can also skip this step as this is optional.
- If you are a beginner in using eye shadows, start with a single shade. Gently stretch your eyebrows with fingers upwards and notice your eye area. The entire skin covering your eyeball is the "Eyelid". Eye shadow shouldn't be applied over the eyelids as it may result in overdone look. Using your eyeshadow brush, give a washout of any subtle shade on your entire eye lid. I have chosen a light pink shimmery shade here.
- For double shaded eye look, mix a dark shade with your light one. Gently apply a dark brown or ash eyeshadow near the outer corner of your eyes and blend both colours carefully with a plain brush. I have used a choco brown shade from Deborah Milano Trio Eyeshadow set and a pink shade from the same one. The pink is a light milky shade with visible shimmers while the brown is deep and less shimmery.
- After the eyeshadow application is done, line your eyes as usual with your eyeliner and use kohl to highlight your waterline as per you wish. If you are planning to apply a coloured eyeliner to the occasion, make sure to draw a thin line with your black eyeliner first on the upper lash line before lining with the colour eyeliner. This trick will define your eyes beautifully! Put mascara and allow it to dry (optional). Your eye makeup is done.
Lips and Cheeks
I have done the lip makeup very simple here. I didn't even line my lips as I was in hurry to step out. I have just put on my Deborah Milano long lasting lipstick shade 07 along with Nivea Glamorous Gloss Pink Sugar Lip Gloss. Wearing a lip liner before putting on your lipstick is highly recommend. This will prevent bleeding of your lip colour. I have used a light coral shaded blush from Nature's brilliance by sue here. Simply blend little amount of blush in your cheek apple, if necessary define your cheekbone.Tit bit: Carry a compact and tinted lip balm on your handbag always. This will prevent your oily look and help you when your lipstick fades. Soft wiping tissues should also take place in your bag throughout the day.
