I find coral and peachy tones to compliment my skin tone best but you can choose one that you prefer! And the blush is applied to the apples of your cheeks and blended up into the contour! Don’t forget to use a light hand! Next for blush I use a fluffier less dense brush to apply a very small amount of blush. Now that you have a flawless smooth base, lets give it some definition and shape! The next thing I do is contour, my favorite product to use is the Physicians Formula Butter Bronzer, it blends out really smooth & smells like coconut! I apply bronzer right under my cheekbones using an angled contour brush like this one from Wet n Wild. I recommend using gentle patting motions and if you feel you applied too much, lightly dust off the excess. I see a lot of people rubbing in foundation or powder and it causes micro exfoliation especially on dry skin which can cause texture to show through your makeup. Whether you choose a loose or pressed powder, set your face using a large powder brush but DO NOT RUB. While I am a fan of baking my face, this is a beginner tutorial so we are going to keep it simple. I tend to always use a translucent setting powder because it doesn’t mess with my foundation color and brightens my face. I recommend this foundation to anyone dabbling in makeup.Ī lot of people tend to skip setting powder as a step but it is extremely important, especially if you plan on using blush or bronzer and don’t want it to be streaky. Maybelline Fit Me foundations come in regular and matte formulas, have a decent shade range and are affordable. My skin tends to be on the drier side, especially during winter so I tend to reach for a dewy foundation and stay away from anything matte. The same situation as with primers, there are different formulas of foundation for every skin type. It is just such a versatile makeup tool and you can use it for so many different steps! Real Techniques makes a great quality affordable makeup sponge I have been using for years. Now we’re ready to work on our face makeup, I always recommend purchasing a Beauty Blender for any makeup beginners, or really anyone.

If you aren’t feeling the brow pencil all together, I recommend a clear or tinted brow gel to set the brows in place for the day! For an in depth brow tutorial read this post, but to keep things simple and beginner friendly, I recommend using a retractable brow pencil to fill in sparse areas and add definition to the brows. I have spoken before on my preference of brow pomades over pencils but I do believe brow pencils are more user friendly.

The other reason I choose this order is in case I mess up on my brows, this way I won’t mess up my foundation.

Primer takes a few minutes to set to achieve the full benefits of it, which is one reason why I do brows next instead of foundation. my fingers because I think it applies more evenly. I like to apply my primer with a beauty blender vs. I have been loving the Blur Stick primer by Milk Makeup which I did a full review on, you can read my review here.

This tutorial isn’t just helpful for beginners, there are lots of awesome tips in this post so hopefully everyone can learn something new!Ī great face of makeup starts with the skincare you apply under your makeup, I used to never moisturize or even apply primer before my foundation and constantly struggled with textured skin or patchiness.
