my girlfriend taught me! been slowly refining how I like to do it for a year or so
prep! wash your face, shave, do any skincare now (I like using witch hazel personally) dry, and trim your eyebrows (I’ll reply to a comment below on how I do that, its pretty simple)
put some primer on, never skip primer
put a dab of concealer under your eyes, on any acne, on any stubble, and on your nose. use a makeup sponge and spread it till its fairly smooth
put one squirt of foundation on your sponge, put a layer of it over your whole face. make sure to blend it over your chin and down your neck a little!
pick an eye-shadow color, I usually go with black or match it with my outfit. cover your eyelid with it with a brush (or just kinda do whatever this one is up to you!)
eyeliner :D this ones hard, I have stamps for the wings personally but you dont need them. i usually go for a thick line on my eyelid and a little bit coming to the bottom, but you can really just copy a look you like. have some fun with it!
brush some mascara on your lashes
I sometimes use blush, but not much anymore. when I do I touch up my cheeks and fade up to the outside of my eyes
lipstick is always last! its a cherry on top, so I’d skip it until youre confident in everything else :) a light pink is a good everyday look, dark red is nice for when youre dressing up, more fun colors if you’re feeling it! i like black personally
as for the products I use:
concealer/foundation: cover girl liquid, match your skin tone
eyeliner: I love the nyx pure black liquid eyeliner
eye-shadow: I use cover girl as well but just pick a pallette you like honestly
blush/primer/mascara: all cover girl
lipstick is any brand you like really, the stick ones are good and I use nyx liquid for the black so I can be more precise
lastly ALWAYS wash/wipe your makeup off at night! i break out so bad if I don’t it’s terrible.
oh gosh I’m sorry I somehow missed your reply, thank you sooooo much!! <3
my eyebrows are actually a bit weak so i’m trying some of that growth serum otherwise I suppose I’ll have to work on penciling those. I went to the store to pickup some makeup the other day and came back with some eyeliners and 2 eye shadow palettes, I was a bit stunned about the primer, concealer, foundation bit so that bit is excellent :) I will return with the knowledge you have blessed me with :)
