- Prep
Before you actually start with the makeup products, it is important to prep your face. This is where face wash comes into the picture. Cleansing your face with a good face wash, removes all the dirt and grime, and makes the skin soft, supple and smooth, thus creating an ideal base for makeup products.
And once you’re done cleaning your face, it is time to moisturize it. Moisturizing is really important as it will help in better absorption of the makeup products, thus giving you a flawlessly radiant look. It will also keep your skin hydrated and prevent your makeup from appearing dry and patchy.
Time- 1 minute
- Primer and Foundation
Once you’ve done that, now is the turn to apply primer. A good primer will hold the makeup and make it stay for a longer time. And not just that, it will give you a flawless base by minimizing the visibility of open pores and fine lines. You don’t need a lot of primer, just so much so to apply a thin layer all over your face and neck. Remember it is important to apply makeup on your neck also. You don’t want your face colour to look different than your neck! Take a little amount of primer and apply dots all over using your fingertips and spread it evenly.
Wait for 30 seconds
The next step is to apply foundation. It will cover all the imperfections, and hide all pigmentation, acne spots and blemishes, thus giving a clear, even looking skin. The key is to apply a foundation that matches or is one shade lighter than your skin tone, so that your face doesn’t look dull. To apply, take a generous amount on the sponge and dab the sponge onto your face. Start at the centre of your face and blend the product outwards.
Time- 2 minute
- Blush and Highlighter
Once you’re done with the foundation, it is time to pop some colour over your cheeks. It will not only make your complexion brighter, but will make your skin glow more. Though, the application depends upon the shape of the face, there’s an easy way that works all the time for everybody. Smile, as it will highlight your cheekbone and then swipe your blush brush over the apple of your cheeks. To blend, brush it up and down.
While blush adds a youthful tint to the cheeks, highlighter plays the luminous magic, just at the right spots, making your overall look gleaming. Apply it using a highlighter brush on your cheekbones, on the bridge of your nose, and if you want some glamour, at the inner corners of your eyes. Use your fingertips to blend out and you’ll have a flawless shine.
Time- 1 minute
- Eyes and Lips
Eyes and Lips are the most prominent parts of your face. And makeup helps highlight these features in the most subtle yet dramatic way possible. To highlight your eyes quickly, apply a highly pigmented kajal so that you are done with just one stroke. To brighten up your eyes, apply an eyeliner as well. There are multiple looks that you can create- from normal to winged, from reverse winged to fishtail and everything else in between. Create the look you’re most comfortable with.
The last step in your 5-minute makeover is applying a lipstick or a lip colour. Whatever you choose, just be careful with the shade. Lipstick shades can either make your lips look attractive or dull. Choose them according to your skin tone and the occasion. For instance, if you’re going to a party, go for bolder shades like red and plum; if however you are heading to a meeting, try going for subtle mauve or pink.
Time- 1 minute
Bonus Tip: If you have a little longer than 5 minutes, apply a mascara as well. It will add volume and length to your eyelashes and make your eyes look more beautiful.
