Makeup Guide: Creating the Perfect Base

Makeup Guide: Creating the Perfect Base

From that subtle weekend ensemble to the corporate girlie glam-up, every makeup look depends on that one key thing: a flawless base! It’s the foundation (literally) on which your styling depends! Here’s how to create one with just 3 steps:

Step 1: Prep Your Skin

Start by cleansing your face using a gentle face wash, this helps remove excess oil and impurities. Follow up with a lightweight moisturizer to nourish your skin, this also helps prevent any upcoming layers from causing you any irritation or cakiness.

Step 2: Create an Even Canvas

Using a foundation that matches your skin tone, create the base layer using items such as a sponge, brush, or even your fingertips. Pro tip: Blend in from the centre of your face and work your way outwards for a natural finish. 

If needed, use a concealer for that added sparkle under the eyes, slowly cover up any blemishes.

Step 3: Set and Finish

Lock your look in place with a dab of compact or loose powder, focusing on any areas that might get oily. Complete your look with a setting spray to help your makeup stay fresh throughout the day while giving your skin a natural, healthy-looking finish.
