Hey life hacks squad!
So last week I covered the basics of how to get ready in a rush and what to focus on so this week I thought i'd cover little tips and tricks to improve your makeup game so everyone in the room will be envious!
First make sure you start with a moisturised face and apply primer! Depending on the primer you get, it can drastically help minimise pores or the look of redness on skin which can make a huge difference in application.
Another big tip is invest in good brushes! If your brush or sponge can barely apply paint evenly, what makes anyone thing it would even do a decent job applying it on a face. I personally recommend the beauty blender which you can buy online or from a Sephora store as well as brushes from Morphe, Sigma, Bare Minerals, Nude by Nature, Real Techniques, or even Artis brushes. All of those recommendations I have provided range in prices so if you don't want to bust the bank there's still some for you!
Next, colour correct! If you have lots of redness, big purple bags, you can use the opposite colour to help correct those areas that you don't wish to see. That way you don't have to cake on the foundation and concealer for more coverage!
Brows of course! When you get around to your eyebrows, make sure you don't use a shade too dark otherwise it will look unnatural as well as block like and even patchy if you have no eyebrows normally like me. When you fill them in, make sure to use light, feathery strokes to create a more naturally fuller brow so it doesn't look like you drew them on with a sharpie.
When applying your foundation, apply concealer afterwards. If you conceal first, you'll end up using more product but wiping half of it away to another spot. If you apply your foundation first, you'll see where you don't already have enough coverage and can go into those smaller spots.
Lastly lipstick! We all know applying it can be tricky sometimes, especially a bold liquid lip but that's what i'm here to help with! When putting it on, make sure you use a lip liner first to avoid the lipstick bleeding and ruining your makeup. After, use a little bit of concealer around the edges of your lipstick to achieve perfect lines around your lips.
