TIP #1 SKINCARE - The better your skin looks without makeup, the better it will look with makeup. So you want to ensure that you are taking good care of your skin and maintaining a religious daily routine. Ensure you apply makeup only on a clean skin
TIP #2 MOISTURISING - it doesn't matter if you have an oil factory on your face (oily skin) , it is very important to always start off by moisturising your face especially of you're going to be using primers, foundations and concealers that are matifying. This will just help to balance the oil production on your face
TIP #3 PRIMING - This is one of the most important steps to take to ensure you have a flawless and long-lasting makeup. Primers depend on your skin type (oily or dry). For oily skin, you always want to lean towards normal to matifying primers while for dry skin you should go for normal to moisturising primers.
Priming just helps to ensure that your makeup lasts all day and prevents your foundation from moving around. Bonus tip - after massaging it into your face, let your primer sit on your face for about an hour before going on with the rest of your makeup .
TIP #4 COLOR CORRECTING -This will just help to erase any dark spots or redness you may have on your face. Deeper skin tones should go for orange to red correctors while lighter skin tones should go for yellow to green correctors. This step can absolutely be skipped especially if you'll be going for a full coverage foundation.
TIP #5 MINIMAL FOUNDATION APPLICATION - For a flawless and long-lasting makeup you always want to go for a long wearing and full coverage foundation. One important thing to avoid is applying too much foundation. This is why you should go for a full coverage foundation so that you don't have to apply tons of layers of your light coverage foundation to get your desired coverage
TIP #6 SET IT - After you have applied all these creme to your face, you always want to apply a light layer of powder to set your face, otherwise, you might just have your makeup melting off of your face on the middle of the day.
TIP #7 LOCK IT - After you're done with your entire makeup which includes your eyes, highlight and contour and everything else, you want to lock it all a setting spray. This helps bring everything together and take away the powdery look. You can go for a dewy or matte spray depending on your skin type.
