How to do Self Makeup
If you are a beginner in the world of beauty and makeup, allow us to be your guide. Here we teach you how to apply makeup in easy, comprehensive steps. Just follow along for the best results and you will be a pro in no time.
Tip #1: Sharp eye and lip liners
To get super sharp liners, you have to freeze them in a refrigerator. Place your liners in the refrigerator in the morning if you are planning to go for an evening party. Sharpen the liners before applying the makeup and you’ll get the best results ever.
Tip # 2: Always scrub
Be mindful of little self-care details. Exfoliating your face is important. When you don’t scrub your face, the dry and dead skin makes your face look dull and dark. So scrubbing is necessary for a perfect look.
Just mix baking soda and water in equal quantities and stir it well. After mixing, apply it on your face and rub it into your skin gently for up to 3 to 4 minutes and then wash it with clean water.
Tip #3: A Foundation is all you need
For getting a fair skin tone, we use “Foundation” as the base layer of makeup. But when done poorly, it looks too cakey and uneven. So it is essential that you apply this perfectly so that it appears invisible. Don’t make the mistake of not blending the foundation down the neck and out on the ears. This could make you look like a clown.
Tip #4: Get Set Blush
Most of us think that Blush is a powdered makeup which adds color to the cheeks, but it does more than this. It shadows and contours the cheekbones. If badly applied, blush gives us some sort of an 80s look and not in a good way. Smitha Deepak, a YouTuber, applies tint as blush in her everyday makeup. She believes it adds color to her face and freshens up her entire look. She also applies a little blush on the center of her nose, saying, “I also like to add just a little bit in the center of my nose that gives a very natural, sunburnt look (i).”
Tip #5: The Eyeconic Eyes
My sister jokes about certain women saying their eyes look like “shutter doors” as they apply lots of eye shadow. The biggest mistake is that they mess up their makeup with an overdose of eyeliner, using it on the top and bottom lash line till it shrinks the eye. If you have some bold and very dark eyeliners, use them for night time occasions, this gives you a pretty appearance, improves your self-esteem, and lifts your confidence. These shades are not meant for use during the day!
Tip # 6: Be Smart with Mascara
Everyone likes waterproof mascara, I too love it. But I struggle too much while removing it. So I always apply a first coat with regular mascara, then above this I apply the waterproof one. Using it in this style helps the waterproof mascara to lock onto the other mascara instead of the eye lashes and it is easy to remove. Smitha likes to use transparent mascara to lift her eyelashes and make her eyes look brighter. She said, “Nice thing about transparent mascara is while it gives you that lash lift, it also looks very natural and even if it smudges you can’t tell because it is transparent.”
Tip #7: Slides smoothly
If you want to make your lips appear stunningly fresh, then scrub them so that the lip color slides smoothly without caking. Use a toothbrush and rub it over your lips to take off the damaged skin, you can also use a hard cloth towel for this. (Don’t do it many times in a day, it will torture your lips)
Tip #8: Stunning Lips
Lip shades in bright colors like pink and orange draw more attention to your lips and can look tacky. A shiny gloss gives a bold effect so you can use them for dim-light occasions like holidays and night parties. While applying lipstick, you must choose a bit darker shade than the natural color of your lips, this gives a realistic effect to your lip.
Tip # 9: Luminous is perfect
Everyone has their own natural face shadow. For looking fairer, you should brighten the natural shadow. It is very easy, stand in front of a mirror and smile – you will see the dark areas under your bottom lip or at the corners of your eyes. To cover these areas, just take an eye shadow with a white shade and blend it in with your fingers.
Tip #10: Soft touch
When blending or applying foundation, we usually use makeup brushes. But the skin of your face is delicate, so the perfect tool for applying makeup will be your ring finger. It warms up the product and makes it blend better on the skin to leave you with a natural makeup look in no time. What are the types of makeovers? There are a wide variety of makeover types. Some types of makeup makeovers include HD, nude, matte, dewy, airbrush, and celebrity makeovers. What’s the difference between makeup and a makeover? Makeup involves the cosmetic products used for makeovers. In contrast, a makeover refers to the transformation of an individual’s look achieved as a result of makeup application. Can a makeover change your life? A physical makeover and change in habits, mindset, or lifestyle can improve a person’s self-confidence and self-esteem, which can have a positive impact on their career, relationships, and holistic well-being and their lives. Should I consult with a professional or seek outside advice when giving myself a makeover? Yes. It is better to consult with a professional for advice when giving yourself a makeover as it will be tailored to what suits your body type, skin tone, and style. Can a makeover be done on a budget, or does it require a lot of money? A makeover can be done on a budget or be expensive, depending on your needs. However, there are creative and affordable ways to alter your appearance. It is important to keep in mind that a makeover should not be solely focused on the outside appearance or material beauty but also on improving oneself from within.
