Prep your face like a canvas: cleanse, hydrate, prime for flawless makeup
First things first, prep that canvas! Think of your face as a beautiful painting – you need to prime it before you start adding colours. Always begin with a clean face, no matter how late you were out dancing last night! Use a gentle cleanser to wash away any dirt, oil, or leftover makeup.

Next, hydration is key even if you have oily skin. Apply a light, non-comedogenic moisturiser to keep your skin smooth and supple. This creates a perfect base for your makeup and prevents it from looking cakey or patchy. After your moisturiser is absorbed – give it a few minutes, don’t rush!
– apply a primer. Primer is like the secret weapon for long-lasting makeup. It fills in pores, blurs imperfections, and helps your foundation glide on effortlessly. Choose a primer that suits your skin type – mattifying for oily skin, hydrating for dry skin, and pore-filling for large pores.
This groundwork is very important!
Choose the right shade & coverage for flawless foundation application
Foundation is the foundation of your perfect "face beat", literally! Finding the right foundation can be tricky, but it's worth the effort. The most crucial thing is to find a shade that matches your skin tone perfectly.

Test a small amount on your jawline in natural daylight to see if it blends seamlessly. Don't test it on your hand – the skin on your hand is often a different shade than your face. Next, consider the type of coverage you want.
Light coverage foundations are great for everyday wear and achieving a natural look and these are great. Medium coverage foundations are perfect for evening out your skin tone and covering minor imperfections. Apply your foundation with a damp sponge, brush, or your fingers.
Start from the centre of your face and blend outwards, ensuring you blend it well into your hairline and jawline. Remember less is also more when it comes to foundation. Layer it on gradually until you achieve the desired coverage.
Conceal imperfections with the right technique
Now, conceal those pesky imperfections! Concealer is your best friend when it comes to hiding dark circles, blemishes, or any other areas you want to brighten. Choose a concealer that is one or two shades lighter than your foundation for highlighting purposes and to help your eyes appear brighter.
For blemishes, choose a concealer that matches your skin tone exactly. Apply concealer in a triangle shape under your eyes to brighten the area and make you look more awake. Dab it gently with your finger or a damp sponge to blend it seamlessly.
Set your concealer with a light dusting of translucent powder to prevent it from creasing. For blemishes, apply concealer directly on the spot and blend the edges. Avoid rubbing the concealer as this can irritate the blemish.
Remember, the goal is to conceal, not to create a thick layer of product so that we never see what is beneath it! Blend, blend, blend is the golden rule!
Enhance your look with eyeshadow, blush, and contouring techniques
Time to add some colour and dimension! Eyeshadow, blush and good contouring are where you can really express your personality. For eyeshadow, start with a light base shade all over your lid. This helps the other colours blend more smoothly.

Then, add a darker shade to the crease of your eye to create depth. Use a transition shade to blend the crease colour into the base colour. Adding shimmer to the center of your lid or the inner corner of your eye will bring more brightness.
Apply blush to the apples of your cheeks for a healthy glow. Smile and find the roundest part of your cheeks – that's where the blush should go. Always start with a light hand and build up the colour gradually.
For contouring, use a matte bronzer or contour powder that is two to three shades darker than your skin tone. Apply it in the hollows of your cheeks, along your jawline, and on the sides of your nose to create definition.
Exfoliate, hydrate, define lips; curl lashes, apply mascara - perfect pout and lashes!
Finish it off with the perfect pout and lashes! No makeup look is complete without some work to the lips and those lashes. For your lips, start by exfoliating them with a soft toothbrush or a lip scrub to remove any dead skin. Then, apply a hydrating lip balm to keep them moisturised.
Use a lip liner to define your lips and prevent your lipstick from bleeding. The lip liner should be a shade close to your natural lip color. Apply your lipstick with a brush for a more precise application. Blot your lips with a tissue to remove any excess product.
For long-lasting lipstick, apply a second coat and blot again. Lashes are an essential part of any good makeup look. Curl your lashes with an eyelash curler before applying mascara. Apply several coats of mascara to your top lashes and one coat to your bottom lashes. Do not clump lashes.
Use setting spray for long-lasting makeup; choose based on skin type
Set it and forget it! The final step is to ensure your makeup stays put all day and to have the look last for the long run. Apply a setting spray! Setting spray helps to meld all the layers of makeup together and prevents it from looking powdery.

Choose a setting spray that suits your skin type – mattifying for oily skin, dewy for dry skin. Hold the bottle about 8-10 inches away from your face and spray in a X and T motion. Allow the setting spray to dry completely before touching your face. And there you have it!
Five essential steps to a perfect makeup look. Remember, makeup is all about having fun and expressing yourself. So, don't be afraid to experiment and try new things. With practice, you'll be a makeup pro in no time for sure!
