Makeup 101
Skincare, skincare, skincare: Skincare is essential for achieving a flawless makeup look! Remember your makeup can only shine when your skin is well cared for. Make it a habit to use a face wash, moisturizer, and eye cream daily. Keep your beauty tools clean and always remove your makeup before bed. Shop our skincare favorites to elevate your routine!
Balancing facial features: Makeup application is all about understanding your features to enhance your natural beauty. Start by identifying the areas you want to highlight with light, shimmery products that bring features forward, while using dark, matte products to add depth and definition. For instance, on hooded eyes, applying a light, shimmery eyeshadow on the eyelid near the lash line, with a darker, matte shadow in the crease, can beautifully balance your eye shape. This principle also extends to contouring and shaping your face.
Color theory: It’s no secret that everyone wants their eyes to stand out, and achieving this effect is all about balance and enhancing your natural eye color. The key is in understanding complementary colors from the color wheel; for instance, if you have blue eyes, shades of orange, gold, and brown will make them pop beautifully. Brown eyes, often featuring hints of yellow, can be brightened up with purples and plums, adding depth and vibrancy. Take the time to examine the unique tones in your eyes to select the perfect eyeshadow shades that truly enhance your look.
Mature skin: As we age, our skin tends to get drier, making it essential to reassess your skincare routine every few years. Incorporate more hydrating products to maintain a youthful glow, while avoiding shimmery or glittery products that can highlight fine lines. Opt for hydrating and glowy products for your lips and skin to create a fresh appearance. For eyeshadow, stick with matte finishes for a more flattering look.
Brushes: Fluffier brushes are great for a soft application, while dense brushes deliver a heavier coverage. The way you hold your brush significantly influences the product application. For a light finish, grip the brush further from the bristles and apply gentle pressure. Conversely, for a more application, hold the brush closer to the bristles and use more pressure. Remember to wash your brushes weekly to ensure they perform at their best.
These are general tips and tricks for applying makeup. For the best results, consider scheduling a lesson with a professional to gain hands-on practice and personalized tips.
