You might be figuring, “Why for heaven’s sake wouldn’t I use foundation for a flawless look?”. Suppose you’re getting yourself ready for an unexpected night out, and you’re at your companion’s home. You don’t have any foundation with you. Her skin tone doesn’t coordinate with yours. Or, your foundation is finished, and you’re disheartened until next payday. This is what you can do when these circumstances emerge!
1) Cleanse with a Warm Flannel
Make a smooth, clean canvas by delicately polishing the skin with a warm flannel to eliminate any dry patches. In case you’re already bare-faced, there is no need to use any cleanser.
2) Apply a Good Amount of Moisturizer
Utilize a moisturizer to suit your skin type, (or as close as possible). For dry skin, massage the product into your dry patches and apply a double layer.
3) Wait
Leave the moisturizer to completely soak in for 10 minutes, so you understand what you’re working with! Hydrated skin has a good texture and finish than skin that has been left to absorb the moisture.
4) Concealer Time
Be saving with concealer, else you’ll end up with different textures, tones, and coverage. For this situation, the concealer isn’t to forget about, yet just to try and even out the face. Warm the product between your fingers and touch it cautiously into the hollows under the eyes and also on the areas where you find any redness or imperfections. Take your finger or a little brush (in the event that you have one) and mix the edges until they vanish flawlessly into the skin.
4) Dab
Take a tissue and press over the parts where you added concealer. This will eliminate any abundance of oils and tone down any enthusiastic application.
5) Reapply Concealer
Reapply a little quantity of concealer if any redness, blemishes, or darkness are still there. Dab once more.
6) Add Liquid Highlighter
In case, you don’t have a liquid highlighter available, take a spot of vaseline or plain lip balm. Mix it with a little champagne, pearl, bronze, or golden shine eye shadow (to coordinate with your skin tone) and concentrate it onto the bridge of the nose, the high places of the cheeks, over the brows, and the brow bone. We do this to give dimensions to your face and give the skin a dewy, normal finish. By getting the light, the highlight attracts the eye to the most organized parts of the face we desire to enhance.
7) Add Cream Blush
In case, you don’t have a cream blush available, take a nude or rusty red lipstick (or one that makes a natural flush on your skin tone) and press it into the apples of the cheeks. Take the extra amount from your finger and dab it into the crease of the eye to tie the shades together and give life to the eye. You can skip this step if you already have a lot of redness on your cheeks.
8) Add Bronzer to the Eyes
If you have a bronzer available, take a little dusting and apply it to the lower lash line and crease of the eye. This enhances the shade of your eyes just as adding life and dimension! It makes the impact of a beachy, no-cosmetics look with naturally defined and shaped eyes.
I would be careful about applying a powder bronzer onto the face as you risk making them stick to your moisturizer making a muddy look.
Lips, mascara, done: Finish off with mascara and whatever lip item you have and enjoy the natural glow.
