How to Apply MakeupJenna Temple

Step 1: Hydrating the skin

Hydrating the skin is simple, but very important.

First clean skin, then apply a moisturizer liberally.

Step 2: Primer

Use a primer to prepare your skin for concealer and foundation.

With primer the makeup goes on better and lasts longer. -- can also minimize pores.

Step 3: Concealer

Use concealer to cover problem areas on the skin, like blemishes, dark spots, or redness.

Step 4: Foundation

Select a foundation color that is most similar to your skin color.

Apply all over the face and blend into the neck. – making it invisible to the eye for a flawless and natural look.

Step 5: Blush

While smiling apply blush to the cheekbones and blend back toward the hairline.

Being careful to blend fully, so no blotches come up.

Step 6: Eyes – shadow & liner

This next step is a big one: eyes. For a natural look apply earthy tones

like brown.

Step 6 continued..

Apply the brown across the eyelid and crease.

Then start from the outside with a darker brown eyeliner – this elongates the eyes.

Step 7: Mascara

Now that your eyes have depth – it is time to add volume.

Use an eye lash curler to first curl your eyelashes.

Step 7 Continued..

Take the mascara and apply a few coats until every lash is separated and clump free.

Step 8: Lips

To finish off the natural look all you have to do is finish up with the lips.

Apply a neutral lip color and then apply a hydrating gloss or moisturizer.
