- Start with a fresh base. Make sure your face is clean, toned with a suitable toner and moisturized. This way your makeup will glow and the end results will look much more attractive
- Invest in good brushes: If you want to apply makeup professionally having the right tools is necessary. You may begin with at least seven basic brushes. Foundation Brush, Powder Brush, Concealer Brush, Blush Brush, Flat Eye shadow Brush, Blending Brush, and an Angled Brush.
- Colour correct: Use color correctors to cancel out the opposite colors (unwanted colors). This will help in achieving results without layering thick foundation/concealer on your skin, which cause it to crease.
- Pick the right foundation for your skin type! For instance if you have oily skin you might want to use a matte finish foundation, or a primer/base that is good for oil control.
- Blend, blend and blend! Flawless makeup is all about blending, nobody needs to see your contour lines on your cheeks, nose or even lips!
- Balance your look: choose either eyes or lips. Try not to exaggerate everything
- Know your face shape. Do you makeup according to what will suits your face and make you look more beautiful, for instance if your cheeks bones are strong, you do not need to contour your cheek bones, similarly if your eyes are rounded you might want to pull them out using an eyeliner and so on…
- Don’t be afraid to use false lashes. Professional makeup nowadays is never complete without some falsies!
- Always look out for latest makeup trends to get better and enhance your techniques, there are so many resources like magazines, YouTube and many bloggers who talk about interesting topics when it comes to makeup.
- Practice makes perfect! Makeup is fun. Enjoy it!
