You’re Only 7 Steps Away From Poo’s High-Fashion Glamm
Step 1: Set The Base Right
Here’s the thing: nourishing the skin and prepping the base is key. Once the skin is well-prepped, makeup will go over it seamlessly. Pamper your skin with a face mask, follow it with moisturiser and primer to create a silky, smooth canvas. Then, apply an oil-free foundation to create a radiant but matter base. Once done with the foundation, apply a creamy concealer to cover any uneven patches, then dab setting powder only on areas where you tend to get oily a tapered brush to retain max glow.
Step 2: Trick To Fake A Bold Brow
For strong brows, draw short strokes to mimic your natural hair with an eyebrow product. To fill them in more, use a brow powder with an angled brush to fill in any gaps. Follow it up with a brow gel to set them in place.
Step 3: Shine On!
Apply a medium brown matte eyeshadow all over the lids, blended slightly into the crease. Then, with the help of a precise pencil brush, take the same brown eyeshadow and apply it over the lower lash line. Next, pick a gold eyeshadow and apply it all over your lids. Grab your eyeliner to define the upper lash line. You can also use a waterproof pencil eyeliner to tight line the upper lash line and make your lashes appear fuller.
Step 4: For Dramatic Length & Volume
Complete the look by applying some mascara to the upper and lower lash line. To make them look extra fluttery, you can also add gossamer falsies or stick on a few short individual lashes in the centre and outer corners of the eyes.
Step 5: Contour That Looks Good IRL Too
Bid adieu to unnatural-looking, heavily contoured makeup look with this easy trick. Just apply the bronzer or contour slightly above the hollows of the cheeks and blend it inwards to subtly add some warmth and lift the skin. To create a softer contour, start by applying a little bit of product and build it as necessary and be conscious of what your makeup will look like in the daylight. You can sculpt foreheads, noses, cheekbone, and jawline with a darker foundation shade for a second-skin finish.
Step 6: Try It For Your Next Full-Face-Worthy Occasion
Just dap a few dots of cream blush on the apple of your cheeks and blend, try to blend all the harsh edges before the product dries out. Then, apply an iridescent highlighter on the tops of your cheekbones with a fan brush to make them pop.
Step 7: Sport A Berry Blot On The Lips
For the lips, choose a soft berry-hues matte lipstick to amp up the look. Finally, use a makeup setting spritz for an extra dose of glow.
