Which are the make-up tips for a beautiful skin?
1. Get your skin in the best shape
Rule number one that I learned as a beauty editor is that the healthier your skin is, that the less makeup you will need. If you properly cleanse, exfoliate and moisturize your skin, then you won’t need much concealer or foundation.
2. Always apply a foundation or moisturizer before foundation
By applying a pre-base to the face first, the concealer and foundation will glide on smoothly. Moisturizer works too, but not as well. First, or pre-bases, act like putty: they moisturise, fill the skin and fill in fine lines, pores and wrinkles so the foundation doesn’t settle on them.
The tip is to apply the base within a minute after applying the primer or moisturizer so that it doesn’t completely penetrate the skin.
3. Apply concealer before foundation
According to professional make-up artists, once you apply the corrector, you won’t need as much foundation. Use concealer under the eyes, along the nose and on the chin.
When applying concealer, pay special attention to the red areas around the nose. Apply concealer to these areas and you will be able to see how bright your face is.
4. Avoid covering the entire foundation
Few people need to apply foundation to the entire face, a look I lovingly call “pie face”. Apply where you have an uneven skin tone (usually along the nose). In winter, if your cheeks tend to turn red, apply it there too. For a more pure and natural coverage, consider a coloured moisturiser, which is much lighter than typical bases.
5. Apply the foundation correctly
For more coverage, use a base brush and always start in the centre of your face, blurring outwards. Pay special attention to the neck, otherwise you will see a line around the face.
6. Use a sponge, brush or your fingers
There is not really a right or wrong way to apply the base. Any one of the following three methods works well, so they are preferences.
- A foundation brush: some make-up artists prefer foundation brushes to apply base. This allows you to get into all the corners, cracks and pores of the face. To do this, place a drop of foundation or coloured moisturiser on the back of your hand and rub it in with a foundation brush, then apply it to the face.
- Fingers: Some makeup artists believe that using your fingers warms up the foundation, which helps it blend better with your skin.
- A sponge: The coverage when you use the sponge is soft and stays perfect, so many makeup artists recommend it for applying moisturiser or coloured foundation.
7. Choose an appropriate foundation colour and formula for your skin
Try to choose a colour that is as close as possible to your natural skin tone. Avoid trying to darken your complexion with a base. If you’re looking for a tanned look, use a bronzer instead. Since skin tone can vary depending on the time of year, consider two base tones: one for summer, when skin is naturally darker, and one for winter, when skin is lighter.
You can blend them during spring and autumn to get a full palette. For oily skin, opt for a matte base. If your skin is dry, try a moisturising formula.
A useful tip: trying foundation colours on the back of the hand is not correct. The best place is on the jaw line.
8. Hide dark circles under the eyes properly
According to the make-up artists, peach or yellow concealers should be used to neutralize dark circles under the eyes. Apply the concealer to the inner corner of the eye with gentle tapping motions in place. Do not apply it as you would with a sunscreen or foundation.
9. Invest in good highlighters
The most important make-up tips for skin care are creams and lightening products. These can minimize the worst features of the face and improve others. There is simply no better way to look like your skin is glowing from the inside out than with a glow cream.
Apply above the eyebrows to the brow bone, on the top of the cheeks, and in the centre of the nose for best results.
10. Don’t be afraid of tanners
There is nothing that makes the face look warmer than a suntan lotion or bronzer. Make sure you use a large makeup brush and a light touch. Apply to all areas where the sun hits: forehead, cheeks and nose. For more “instant cheekbones”, place a creamy blush along your cheekbones, not just the apples on your cheeks. Then blend well.
11. Natural oils are not bad
Most people with oily skin tend to have a more nuanced skin. However, natural skin oils are not bad. Lately, those whose faces have some shine have been in vogue, not to mention that oily skin tends to develop fewer lines than dry skin.
In case you have oily skin, apply an oil-free pre-base before the foundation to keep the makeup in place. Then just powder your nose and chin. Keep a blotter in your bag to remove excess oil.
12. Makeup sealer is your best friend
Before applying make-up, spray a make-up sealer spray to obtain a perfect, moist and not stiff face. Alternatively, you can apply a pea-sized drop of moisturizer on a sponge and apply it lightly to the forehead and cheeks.
13. Get rid of the “ashy” look
If you have dark skin, you may notice that your skin may become ashy. Treat it to a creamy illuminator. Apply concealer where skin tends to be darker and look that way.
14. Disguise your reddish skin tone
These are some of the best make-up tips. If you have reddish skin, soften it with a yellow or green sub-tone foundation. Pink sub-tone foundation and coloured moisturisers will only make your red face worse. Additionally, try blushes such as apricot, which are more towards yellow tones and discard pink tones.
15. Everyone can use blush
No matter how red your skin is, make-up artists recommend applying blush. Because after applying foundation or a tinted moisturizer, the redness of your face will fade. This is why it is necessary to add blush to makeup, to obtain a healthy colour in the face.
