Prep Your Skin
Clean skin should be the first step to any makeup routine.
“Listen to your skin when choosing a cleanser,” she says.
The kind of primer formula you use will depend on the needs of your skin.
Byrdie Tip
For medium to full coverage foundations, it’s best to work in layers.
Then, apply more layers as necessary.
On light to tan skin tones, your color corrector would probably be in the peach range.
Conceal Trouble Areas
That friendly little visitor that decided to show up on your face?
Don’t fretbeauty expert Savannah St. Jean says it’s nothing someconcealercan’t fix.
“Acne andunder-eye circlesare the most problematic areas that may require concealing,” she says.
When it comes to the under-eye area, it’s better to use concealer sparingly for best results.
This makes the area less prone to creasing, too.
Becausethis concealer pick from Lancomeis in wand form, it’s perfect for ensuring you don’t over-apply.
Go for a colorless powderlike this one from Thrive Causemeticsit’s less likely to disrupt your freshly applied foundation.
Choose an Eye Look
Go for the classic: a smoky eye.
Be careful not to blend the shadow too far upwards.
By blending, the goal is to soften the edges of the shadow."
Pop on a matte liquid eyeliner on the upper lash line to lift the eyeet voila!
You’re ready for lashes.
Our pick is ColourPopFalsies Faux Mink Lashes($8).
“By doing this, it will fire up the eye area andgive your brows a fuller appearance.”
Note that if your makeup is on the heavier side, you may want a slightly more natural bow.
If you don’t mind reapplying, you could add some lip gloss over top.
We like LancomeJuicy Tubes Long-Wear Lip Gloss($24) for its high shine.
A light layer is all you oughta last for several hours.
A goodsetting spray or powderwill help here.
If using a spray, hold the bottle a few inches from your face and mist all over.
