Doing your makeup can be a pain in the tush sometimes, as it requires precise attention and countless hours. And while you may spend half an hour perfecting the winged liner, you may easily skip over the vital steps of looking presentable. There are a few basic things to keep in mind anytime you apply makeup.
A vital step to complete before even applying foundation is to prime your face. The Nivea Men’s Sensitive Post Shave Balm can actually be used as a primer and trust me, it works wonders. I gained this helpful tip from none other than Kim Kardashian, so you know it’ll work.
Once you’re finished priming, it’s time to apply your favorite foundation. Make sure that after applying your foundation, you check your face in natural lighting. The last thing you want is to look perfect in the mirror, but then walk outside and realize you look bright orange. Bring a mirror to the window and make sure your face still looks like your face.
After you’ve made your way through these pre-makeup steps, add whatever final touches your heart desires, whether it’s a bold lip color or exquisite eye look. One more overlooked step of makeup that many people (including myself) often forget is to clean your makeup tools. An easy way to clean your beauty blender is to put it in a cup of water and microwave it for one minute. Voila! You’ve got a clean beauty blender, ready for the next morning.
No matter what look you’re going for, if you keep in mind the basic steps, you’re bound to have a satisfying product. Good luck achieving that 10/10 look you were born to rock!
