Your comprehensive guide to using cosmetics

If you are a beginner in the world of makeup, this guide will help you understand the basics of using cosmetics in a professional manner.

Step 1: Preparing the skin

Before applying makeup, the skin must be properly prepared:

Cleanse your skin thoroughly

Apply a moisturizer suitable for your skin type.

Use a primer to make your makeup last longer.

Apply sunscreen if you're going out during the day.

Step 2: Foundation

Choosing and applying the right foundation:

Choose a shade that perfectly matches your skin tone.

Test the color on your jawline, not on your hand.

Apply with a damp sponge or brush for even coverage

Start from the center of your face and blend outwards.

Step 3: Concealer

To conceal blemishes and dark circles:

Choose a shade one or two shades lighter than your foundation.

Place it in a triangle shape under the eye.

Use it to conceal pimples and redness

Mix it gently with a sponge or your fingers.

Step 4: Powder

To set makeup:

Use translucent or colored powder according to your preference.

Focus on the T-zone (forehead, nose, and chin)

Use a large, soft brush

Do not use too much to avoid a dry appearance.

Step 5: Eyebrows

Eyebrows define facial features:

Brush your eyebrows with a special brush

Fill in the gaps with an eyebrow pencil or powder.

Choose a color that matches your hair color or is one shade lighter.

Set with eyebrow gel

Step 6: Eyeshadow

To highlight the beauty of your eyes:

Start with a light color all over the eyelid

Apply a medium color to the crease

Use a dark color in the outer corner

Mix the colors well for a natural look

Step 7: Eyeliner and Mascara

For more specific eyes:

Eyeliner: Draw a thin line on your upper lash line.

You can create a pavilion (wing) for events

Mascara: Apply one or two coats to the lashes

Start at the roots and move the brush upwards.

Step 8: Blush and highlighter

To add vibrancy and radiance:

Blush: Apply it to the apples of your cheeks.

Smile to mark the right spot

Highlighter: Apply it to your cheekbones, the bridge of your nose, and your Cupid's bow.

Use a small amount for a natural look

Step 9: Lipstick

The final touch:

Moisturize your lips first.

Define your lips with a lip liner.

Apply lipstick with a brush or directly

Wipe with a tissue and apply a second layer for stability.
