Eyeshadow

If you have a good eyeshadow palette, you can create a ton of different looks with minimal effort. There are even some palettes that come with instructions on how to create a variety of looks with just one palette. You don’t need to be an expert to apply eyeshadow well. First, you’ll want to use an eyeshadow brush to apply an all-over colour to your eyelid. You can choose any colour you want, but a medium-toned neutral like brown or taupe is a great place to start. From there, you can choose which colours you want to use for your eyeshadow look. If you want to create a subtle look, use a light colour like taupe or white on the lid and a medium-toned colour on the crease. If you want something a little more dramatic, use a dark colour on the lid and the crease, and a lighter colour in the corner of your eye.

Lipstick

If you’ve ever fallen in love with a new lipstick but found yourself too intimidated to wear it, don’t fret! Putting on lipstick doesn’t have to be scary. First, make sure your lips are clean and smooth. You can exfoliate your lips a little bit to make sure they’re nice and smooth. Exfoliating your lips is especially helpful if you have dry or chapped lips. If your lips are really dry, it’s best to put a little lip balm on first. Then, apply the lipstick to your lips. It’s best to use a lip brush for this part. The lipstick will be applied more evenly and you won’t have to worry about getting it all over your teeth. Next, blot your lips with a tissue or paper towel to get rid of any excess lipstick. You don’t want to try to wipe it off your lips; that will just create more of a mess.

Foundation

We all want to look like we have great skin, but the foundation can be a tricky beast. If you’re not applying it correctly, your skin could look cakey, patchy and downright nasty. First, find out what your skin tone is. You can do this with a skin tone chart that many makeup brands provide. Next, choose a foundation that matches your skin tone. If you don’t know what foundation to use, use a colour that’s two shades darker. You can apply your foundation with a sponge, foundation brush, fingers or a combination of all three. Just make sure to blend it well so that it doesn’t look patchy.

Eyeliner

Eyeliner looks great, but it can be a challenge to put on if you don’t know how to do it right. It can also be really frustrating if you try to put it on and end up making a mess. First, use an eyeliner pencil that’s the right colour for your eye. If you have blue eyes, you’ll want to use a brown or black pencil. If you have brown eyes, you can use either colour, although black is more common. If you have green or hazel eyes, you can use any colour. With the pencil in hand, you can use your free hand to gently open up your eye so that you can get the liner in the perfect spot. Once you’re done, gently close your eyes and use some tissue or paper towel to blot away any excess liner that may be on your eyelid.

Mascara

Mascara is great at making your eyelashes look longer and fuller, but it can be tough for beginners to use. To apply mascara, you want to make sure your eyelashes are clean and free of makeup, dirt or oil. Once they’re clean, you want to apply the mascara from the base of your eyelashes to the tip. First, make sure the wand is clean. You don’t want to apply old, bacteria-laden mascara to your eyelashes. Second, apply one or two light coats. You don’t want to clump your lashes together. And finally, if you want to apply your mascara to your bottom lashes, make sure you don’t get the wand too close to your eyeball.

Conclusion

Learning how to apply makeup properly can take years. Luckily, you don’t have to master everything at once. These guides will help you get started, and with practice and patience, you’ll get better as time goes on.
