A simple everyday makeup tutorial
In my opinion less is more with everything including makeup. I think when a
person wears a lot of makeup they couldhide their natural beauty which is
the opposite thing most people want when wearing makeup all you need is
enhance your beauty.
Also, a lot of makeup might damage our skin so we’re going to need more
makeup and damage our skin more and its very important to keep your skin
healthy.
When Makeup done properly might not look like makeup at all it only
emphasizes your features like your lips or eyes .
People wear makeup for different reasons for example it can even out skin
tone, it can help hiding acne or it could simply make you feel pretty and
glamorous for a certain event.
I personally don’t like to think that makeup is a must I wear makeup because
I like wearing makeup and changing looks and I can go out without makeup
anytime.
The steps for everyday makeup.
Skin:
 first we need to know what kind our skin is there is
five types:
1. oily skin: is when skin produce a lot of oil.
2. dry skin: is when the skin is rough, dull and less elastic.
3. combination skin: is when the skin is oily only on the T zone and
normal on the rest of the face.
4. normal skin:is when there is no imperfection and a radiant complexion.
5. sensitive skin: is when you have redness and itching.
 Each type need a certain kind ofpreparation:
1. Oilyskin: needs a moisturizer based on water not oil and I recommend
using tea tree products.
2. Dry skin: needs a moisturizer based on oil or you can use oil like
vitamin e oil.
3. Combination skin:needs a moisturizer based on water and spray rose
water it may need a different care in different areas.
4. For normal skin: most of the moisturizer works.
5. For sensitive: needs a medical moisturizer there is many medical brand
such as Bioderma

 Each skin need a primer:
1. Oily skin= mattifying primer
2. Skin with pores = pore minimizer
 Every Skin Requires Being Cleaned Thoroughly Prior to Make up
There is no point in applying make up before cleaning the skin thoroughly
first. The best way to clean skin prior to make up application is
1) To apply a cleansing lotion over the face and the neck and allow this to
remain on for a few minutes.
2) Then take a piece of cotton, dip it in water, and use it to wipe off the
cleanser from the face in slow circular motion. All the dirt and dust
particles that had settled on the facial skin will now peel of easily with
the cotton wool.
3) The face then needs to be washed thoroughly with cold water so that
there is no sense of dryness or itchiness of facial skin owing to the
application of the cleansing lotion.
 Makeup must be applied by first starting with a Base
Preparing the base or the foundation is highly essential when it comes to makeup application.
The base has to be set first, and only then can the rest of the makeup be applied. In order to
create this base, one has to

1) Make use of liquid or cream foundation, applying small amounts of this all over the face
and neck in circular motion. Care has to be taken to apply the foundation evenly so that
no part of the face or the neck remains untouched as this will make one’s appearance
really seem awkward.
2) Once the liquid or cream based foundation has been applied, it should be allowed to dry
over the face for the next two hours or so. Only then can the rest of the makeup be
applied on the face.
 Lipstick Application and Eye Makeup Application should be Based on
Skin Types
The type of lipstick and eye makeup that is used by a person will depend largely on the type
of skin that a person is having.
1) If a person has dry skin, then this is a person who should be using moisture based
lipsticks only, and who ought to use liquid eye liner rather than an eye pencil or eye
shadow. The liquid or moisture based makeup will allow the makeup to remain on the dry
skin for long hours, absolutely intact, without getting absorbed by the dry skin too easily.
2) If a person has combination skin, then this is a person who can use both moisture based
and matte based lipsticks and who can also use liquid eye liners and eye pencils both.
3) A person who has oily skin should ideally make use of only matte based lipsticks and dry
eye pencils in order to get the makeup to last on the face for long hours.
4) A person having sensitive or combination skin has to be very careful with makeup
application and should opt for herbal based and moisture based lipsticks and eye liners, to
keep the skin from becoming dry or breaking out into rashes too easily.

 Eye Shadow must be applied after Eye Liner Application
It is important to remember to apply eye shadow, only after having applied the eye liner
first. Applying the eye liner later can result in the entire eye make up getting smudged or
destroyed easily. Eye shadow must also be applied carefully and gently with a brush, and as
patiently as possible to avoid any smudging.
 Hide Acne and Pimples with Concealers
Terrible spots on the face like acne and pimples can be removed or hidden rather
easily with the help of products that are known as concealers. The concealers are similar
to liquid or cream based foundation and has to be applied in much the same way. It is
imperative to rinse off the concealers before going to bed in the night, as causing it to
remain on the skin can result I the outbreak of skin eruptions, making the face look even
ore scarred than what it is with pimples and acne.
 Makeup is an Art and Needs Time and Patience
It needs to be remembered that makeup is an art and is not something that can be
rushed through. makeup needs to be done at least two to four hours prior to leaving the
house and cannot be applied at the last minute.
 Makeup must be rinsed off before Going to Bed
It is important to remember to rinse off the makeup before going to bed at night.
If the makeup is allowed to remain on the face, it can end up hampering the quality of the
facial skin considerably, damaging it and making it look rather bad.
