If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by the world of makeup, you’re not alone! For beginners, navigating the aisles of beauty products and figuring out where to start can be a daunting task.
This video will break down the essentials of makeup application. It provides you with simple, step-by-step instructions to boost your confidence and help you express your unique style.
Step 1: Moisturizer and Primer
- Before applying makeup, it’s crucial to moisturize and use sunscreen.
- Primer is emphasized as a key base that helps makeup last longer and applies smoothly.
- Eman mentions different types of primers (oil control, hydrating, pore minimizing) based on individual skin needs.
Step 2: Foundation
- The choice of foundation depends on skin type (oily or dry) and desired finish (matte or dewy).
- Color matching is essential; she explains undertones (yellow for olive skin, pink for fair skin) and coverage types (full coverage vs. light coverage).
- Application methods include using a buffing brush or beauty sponge.
Step 3: Concealer
- Concealer should be one or two shades lighter than the foundation and is primarily applied under the eyes to brighten and cover shadows.
- Eman prefers blending concealer with fingers or a beauty blender for a natural look.
Step 4: Setting with Powder
- Setting powder (loose or compact) is recommended to prevent makeup from moving and to control shine, particularly in oil-prone areas.
- She advises applying powder sparingly and discusses the option of skipping it for very dry skin.
Step 5: Blush and Bronzer
- After setting the face, Eman introduces blush and bronzer to add color.
- She explains the application technique for bronzer using a “number three” shape and emphasizes the importance of blush for a fresh appearance.
Step 6: Eyebrows
- Eyebrow grooming is crucial, with tips on using an eyebrow brush and filling in sparse areas.
- Eman gives guidelines on where brows should start and end and encourages viewers to fill in their brows for a complete look.
Step 7: Eyelashes
- She recommends curling eyelashes and applying mascara as essential steps for a polished look.
- Eman highlights the difference curling makes and suggests looking for volumizing and lengthening mascaras.
Step 8: Highlighter
- Highlighter adds a finishing touch to the makeup look, providing a luminous glow.
- Eman describes where to apply highlighter (inner corner of the eyes, bridge of the nose, and cheekbones) and emphasizes personal preference in choosing the shade.
Step 9: Lips
- Eman stresses the importance of applying something on the lips to complete the look.
- She mentions various lip product options, including gloss, balm, or lipstick, encouraging viewers to experiment with different types.
Final Touch: Setting Spray
As a bonus step, she introduces the use of setting spray to lock in makeup for all-day wear.
Proper application involves holding the spray at a distance to avoid large droplets.
