1. Always Start Your Makeup With The Use Of Facial Tools: Gone are the days where face cream is all you need to create a smooth healthy canvass for your makeup, don’t get me wrong it’s still the most recommended way to start your glam but the game is changed now in the beauty realm – the more blood circulation you can have within the skin the more “born with it” your makeup will look like. Spend at least 5 – 10 mins with a face roller or micro-current device, then you can move on to applying your serums and moisturiser and you will be surprised on how radiant and healthy your skin will look with makeup on – for a lifted face result ensure you move the roller in an upward motion never downward.

2. Don’t Rely So Much On Powder: When applying your makeup, you’re best advised to focus on good serums, moisturiser for hydration and primer to mattify the face. Apply all three all over the face and ensure you lavishly re-apply the primer focusing on the t-zone area of the face. This will allow your makeup to be longlasting and delay oil production compare to powder which you can’t rely on too much on as it’s heavy, aging and makes the makeup look unnatural.

3. Avoid Harsh Lines: Whenever a makeup is put on you are most advised to always soften the edges of sharp lines like eyeliner and the line between the concealer and bronzer, otherwise the makeup might appear severe. When creating eyeliner use pencil then diffuse the edges with tiny eye brush, and the top tip will be applying same shade of eyeshadow as your eyeliner for a blended natural look.

4. Keep It On The Apples Of The Cheeks: The key to achieving a youthful look is to place the blush on the apples of the cheeks. As dated as this technique is, it’s still works – just do a big smile then place the blush exactly where you want to apply it. When applying, make a dabbing upward motion and avoid bringing it down towards your nose. If you are using a cream base formula ensure you finish it with a powder formula for longevity. It’s also good to mention the placement of contour while around the cheeks, place the contour right under the cheeks before the blush.

5. Don’t Preserve Your Day Makeup For Night Makeup: Avoid topping up your makeup if you have night commitment after work. You can wipe off the foundation using a cleansing wipe and leave the eye look, this will keep the skin refreshed before applying a new foundation. Topping up a makeup you put on at 8am in the morning would have lost it’s beauty by 7pm in the evening – this can lead to cageyness, and will settle on fine lines. Keep the face fresh to allow anything placed on it look better.
