It's an optional part of a makeup regime, but it can really take your look to the next level.The process is quite simple, and it may seem difficult at first.Once you know where the light and shadows are hitting your face, you can apply the powders.
Step 1: Determine if you have warm or cool feelings.
There are veins on your wrist.You have warm skin if they are green.You have cool skin if they are blue.It's a good idea to see how easy it is to suntan or burn.If you burn easily, you probably have cool skin.If your skin is pink or red, you have a cooler skin tone.If you have a yellow base, your skin tone is likely to be warmer.There are a lot of people.It is important to know your skin's undertone.If your makeup doesn't match your skin tone, it will make you look yellow orhy.
Step 2: Pick a kit that matches your skin tone.
Some companies sell kits that are labeled for warm or cool skin.Buy the one that matches your mood.If the kits are not labeled, you should purchase a yellow-tinted kit if you have warm skin or a pink kit with cool skin.Warm skin can benefit from gold and bronze shades.It's better to have woodsy colors like elm and walnuts for cool skin.Many kits work well for both warm and cool.If your skin is light, medium, or dark, you should think about it.A palette that is too dark looks fake.
Step 3: Make sure that the makeup works with your skin tone.
The blush needs to be a darker shade than your skin tone, and the highlighter needs a lighter shade.You'll have to buy the powders separately if a kit doesn't work for you.
Step 4: If you can't find the right kit, you should buy the powders separately.
A set of pressed powders are a few shades lighter and darker than your skin tone.If it works with your tone and undertone, you can use just about any pressed powder, such as foundation or blush.It is harder to work with eyeshadow because it is more intense in color.If you do use eyeshadow, choose between matt or shimmery for your highlights.Don't buy loose powder.It's easier to apply pressed powder.
Step 5: Don't use makeup on your nose.
Natural shadows won't be cast by bronzer.Illuminator is shimmery.You don't want to use it in areas that will get shiny, like your nose.You can make it even more shiny by using an illuminator on your nose.
Step 6: There are a number of clean, natural-hair powder brushes.
You can use other brushes that are softer and fluffier than the camelhair brushes.There is a selection of large, small, and medium brushes.The blush and contour brushes work well here.Do not use brushes with synthetic bristles.If your powders are more creamy, use a makeup sponge or beauty blender.
Step 7: Start with a clean face.
Warm water and a facial soap can be used to wash your face.Put a clean towel on your face.Finish off with a good night's sleep.Wait for the cream to absorb into your skin.People with oily skin should use a balm.Make sure the product is labeled for oily skin.
Step 8: If you wish, apply a face primer.
A face primer will fill in any fine lines.It will make applying the foundation easier.
Step 9: Put your choice of foundation and concealer on.
Choose a foundation that matches your skin tone.Use your preferred method to apply the foundation.There are sponges, brushes, or fingers.It's a good idea to blend it in and let it dry.If you want to use concealer, apply it now.It's a good idea to blend it in.
Step 10: The rest of your makeup should be applied as desired.
Lipstick, eyebrows, eyeshadow, eyeliner, and mascara are included.You can apply all of them, or you can leave out some for a more natural look.If you prefer a more natural look, use lip balm or lipgloss instead of lipstick.You won't be using any blush when you make your face.
Step 11: Use translucent powder to set your makeup.
Liquid products should be applied over powder in makeup.Setting your foundation with setting powder will help keep your makeup in place and will give the powders a smooth surface to stick to.
Step 12: Bringing out your natural features is the focus.
It is not a "one size fits all" thing.Everyone has their face shaped differently.Some people want their nose to be the only part of their body that is visible.Enhancing what you love about your face can be achieved by wrinkling.If you want to flatten your nose, it's best not to do it just one part of your face, as this could look unnatural.
Step 13: There are highlights on your face.
Everyone has a different face.Take a look at the highlights and shadows on your face when you step into a light room with a mirror.The areas that you will be applying the highlighter to.
Step 14: If you want to make your face look better, apply a highlighter to your cheekbones.
If you want to find your cheekbones, suck your cheeks in or find where the light hits.Use a large brush to apply makeup to your face.You can blend the powder towards your eyes.This will make your eyes look brighter as well as emphasize your face.If you have prominent cheekbones, you should focus on the center of your face, under your eyes and around your nose.
Step 15: You can blend it out by applying highlighter to your forehead.
The center of your forehead is where you want to apply the highlighter.Using upward strokes, blend the highlighter.You need to blend the highlighter in above your eyebrows.The center of your forehead is where you should focus.Don't apply highlighter to your temples.
Step 16: To highlight your nose bridge, use a thin brush.
If you want the bristles to be oriented vertically, you have to take a small eyeshadow brush.This will give you a thin line.To draw a thin line down the center of your nose, use the brush.To blend it in, sweep a clean brush up and down the side edges.If you have a wide nose, make the line thinner.A pointed eyeshadow brush will work well here.It is possible to highlight your nose.
Step 17: You should finish with your chin.
Use a medium-sized brush to apply makeup.Use your brush to blend it out.It's a great idea for people with weak chins.You might want to skip this step if you have a large chin.
Step 18: If you want to emphasize other areas, add a highlighter.
If you have a weak jaw, you could apply a product to it.Some people like to apply eyeliner to their cupid's bow with a small brush.
Step 19: Take a look at where the shadows fall on your face.
Everyone has a different face.Take a look at the highlights and shadows on your face when you step into a light room with a mirror.The areas you will be applying the highlighter to.If you have a dark skin tone, the highlighter may give you enough contrast so that you don't need the contour.
Step 20: To slim down the hollows of your cheeks, apply cheek to it.
To apply the powder to the hollows of your cheeks, use a medium-sized brush.There is a small gap at the round of the cheek.The area closest to your ear should be the place to focus on.If you have prominent cheekbones or sunken cheeks, then you don't need to worry about this area.Don't worry about it.At the end, you'll do that.If you can't find the hollows, suck your cheeks.
Step 21: If you want, apply powder to your temples.
To apply shadow to your face, use a medium-sized brush.You can use the shadows that fall on your face as a guide.The shadow should be drawn towards the middle of your forehead.If you have a small forehead, you won't have much shadow at the top of it.After all, you are working with your natural features.Make the shadows at the temples more prominent for a more masculine look.
Step 22: If you want your jaw to be slimmer, add a bit of skin to it.
If you added it, use a medium-sized brush to apply it to the edge of your jaw.If you want to make your jaw appear moreangular, this is a great way to do it.
Step 23: The sides of your nose can be slimmed down.
A thin brush is all you need to apply a thin line of makeup to either side of your nose bridge.Put the shadow away from your face.If you apply it to your entire nose, it will end up being too intense.It's better to apply a thin line and blend it out.Don't blend it over your nostrils.Put it under the tip of your nose.
Step 24: If you want, apply to any other areas.
Your natural shadows can be used as a guide.If you have shadows under your lip or chin, apply more makeup there.Some people like to apply a thin line of makeup to their lips.
Step 25: The areas should be blend until there are no harsh lines.
Start by running a large brush along the edges.The shadows should be blended away from the highlighted edges.If you apply it to the hollows of your cheeks, blend it downward.Large and small brushes can be used for large areas, such as your forehead.Simply run a brush along that area to make it softer.
Step 26: Setting powder can be applied to your T-zone.
To apply a light dusting of translucent setting powder all over your face, use a large, clean powder brush.The areas that will get the most oily are your nose, forehead, and chin.
Step 27: Soften the lines with a heavier application of setting powder.
Apply a generous dusting of translucent setting powder to any areas where you feel that you applied contour heavily.Then dust it off.
Step 28: If needed, do any final touch-ups with illuminator.
Take a look at your face in the mirror.If you feel that there is a need for more highlighter, apply a shimmery illuminator to those areas.You could apply it to your nose bridge.The appropriate brush is needed for these areas.Your makeup is done.Setting powder or setting spray can be applied with a light coating.
