Your face

A good base

The first step in proper makeup application starts with a solid base. So, apply the primer of your choice to your entire. Choose the right foundation and concealer to match your complexion and meet your needs: colour, coverage, texture, etc.

Pro tip: set your foundation with a translucent powder and do a little contouring

Blush

After you’ve applied your foundation and done your contouring (if necessary), apply some vibrant blush to your cheekbones. Choose a shade like peach, coral or red.

If you’re using a liquid or cream blush, use a makeup sponge or brush as your applicator. If you’re using a powder blush, a brush works best. Blend the blush into your skin by following the natural contours of your face.

Eyeliner

To really make your eyes pop, choose your favourite black eyeliner and draw a thin line along your top lash lines. Make the lines slightly longer than your eyes to create that doe-eye look.

To achieve perfect lines every time, work from the outsides in, without pulling your eyelids (which could distort the shape of your eyes and therefore your lines). Draw a thin guideline and then once you're satisfied, simply thicken it.

Pro :if you find the doe eye hard to create, you can always use tape specifically designed to help with tougher makeup jobs.
