Once you have your base ready, it’s time to define and enhance your beautiful features!

Time To Enhance Your Features

Enhancing Your Eyes




Make sure to purchase a high-quality eyeliner and mascara, so it won’t smudge or smear.
  • Using an eyeliner, line your upper waterline and the outer corners of your lower lashline. Use a brush to smudge the product to avoid harsh lines.

  • Use an eyelash curler to curl your lashes.

  • Apply a coat of mascara to instantly open up your eyes and make you look more awake and bright.

  • You can add a hint of a neutral shade of eyeshadow to your eyelids for a complete look.

Getting Those Brows-On-Fleek




Defining your eyebrows instantly adds structure to your face. If you have naturally dark, well-defined eyebrows then congratulations, you may skip this step. But if you have sparse or over-plucked eyebrows, then you can use an eyebrow pencil or brow pomade to fill them in.
  • Choose a pencil or product that very closely matches your eyebrows.

  • Use short strokes to create small “hairs” in the gaps.

  • Use a makeup brush to blend and brush out the product evenly into your eyebrows for a natural look.

  • Once you fill them in, you can use an eyebrow gel to set them in place.

There are various amazing products available in the market, specifically for your brows like eyebrow kits and duo-shapers. For special dos, add a highlighter under the brows to make them stand out!

Applying Blush




Blush adds a cheeky glow to your skin and makes it look fresh and healthy. Use a blush brush to apply the blush to the apples of your cheek. Refrain from mixing textures – if you are using a powder, stick to a powder blush and if you are going sans powder, stick to a cream blush.

You can add a touch of highlighter or luminizer to your cheek bones, along the bridge of your nose and under your brow bone for an appealing radiance.

Working On That Pout





Before you put on anything on your lips, make sure you’ve moisturized them with some lip balm for lush and healthy looking lips. Choose lip colors that complement your skin tone. If you want to wear nude lipstick, find the right shade of nude for your skin tone. If you’re feeling chirpy and want to go with bright colors, find shades that you can work with.
  • If you’re looking for heavy coverage, wear lipstick.


  • If you want sheer coverage, line your lips with a lip pencil and dab some liquid lipstick or gloss. 

Makeup is a fun affair, but there are certain measures you must keep in mind if you want to avoid any kind of skin troubles and other issues.

Precautions To Be Taken While Applying Makeup

Remember, hygiene is a very important aspect of both applying and removing makeup. If you want your skin to remain healthy, then do follow certain standards in the application of makeup.
  • Invest in high-quality makeup products and make sure to keep a check on their expiry dates to avoid reactions and breakouts. Dispose off any old products beforehand.

  • Always wash your hands with an anti-bacterial soap before you start doing your makeup.

  • Make sure you wash your makeup brushes and sponges every other week because these tools tend to accumulate a lot of dirt and grime in them.

  • Say ‘no’ to sharing makeup. Sharing your makeup products such as eyeliners or lipsticks may lead to spread of bacteria and infections. Prevention is better than cure so remember to not share your personal products just like you wouldn’t share your toothbrush.

  • Be gentle with your eyes and do not use sharp objects or pencils to do your eyes. A moment of rush may result in injury. So always be careful while you do your eyes.

  • Store your makeup in a dry and cool place.

Avoiding and Fixing Makeup Blunders

There are times when things won’t go in accordance to your wishes, and your makeup may go terribly wrong. For times like these, it’s always good to have a few tips in handy to fix them blunders! Let’s go over this real quick.

Foundation

Firstly, don’t try to look fairer or darker – please use the exact shade of foundation for your skin tone to avoid the first and one of the most commonly committed blunders – the wrong shade of foundation! Just NO!

The right way to choose your foundation shade is to take a little bit of it on your finger tips and blend it on your jawline or neckline. If you can’t see it once it’s properly blended, then that’s your shade. Always blend the product well, on your face, neck and onto the exposed chest part so that the colors match, if your hands are dark, then you can add some on your hands as well.

If you have gotten excess product on your face, then take a wet wipe and gently dab it on your face to remove any excess product. You can do the same in case you’ve gotten excess concealer on.

Lip Liner

This is one of the most cringe-worthy blunders you can commit. You’re supposed to line the natural lining of your lips to add definition. Do not go all ‘Kylie Jenner’ on your lips to make them look bigger. Use a neutral shade or a liner that is one shade brighter than your natural lip colour.

If you get any excess liner on, take some makeup remover on a cotton pad and carefully remove the excess product without disturbing the lipstick.
Over-plucked Eyebrows

Please be gentle while defining your brows, so you don’t end up looking like you literally drew them on with a Sharpie! Use a colour that looks natural on your face and make short, gentle strokes to fill them in.

Blush

In case you’ve gone overboard with your blusher, then use your compact powder to colour correct. You don’t want to end up looking like a clown.

Lipstick

When you want to lighten your lipstick, take a tissue paper, fold it into half and kiss it, placing it between your upper and lower lips.

Eye Makeup

When applying eye shadow, keep in mind not to extend it up-to your eyebrows. When applying eyeliner, keep the lining as close to your waterline as possible for the best look.


we hope you’ve got some of these tips penned down on the back of your minds. I covered a whole bunch of simple steps to help you achieve makeup that is on-point for the next time you want to play around with different looks!
