How to create a perfect base makeup? 5 steps to help clumsy people

Women often say: "A perfect base makeup is better than any other makeup!" Compared to lipstick, blush and eye shadow, base makeup is the most important survival skill that girls must master. Because acne, dark circles, yellow skin color, these problems that skin care products cannot solve in a short time, base makeup can make them "invisible" immediately! The editor of No. 5 website will show you how to create a perfect base makeup? 5 steps to save the clumsy aliens.

Step 1: Sun protection and isolation

I believe everyone should already know that sunscreen isolation is a very important step between skin care and makeup. Before entering the makeup stage, you must first apply sunscreen isolation! My favorite is still Shiseido's sunscreen! Because it has the triple effects of lotion + sunscreen + isolation, it is simply too powerful! Ordinary sunscreen and isolation are best used separately, but Shiseido's sunscreen is quite special. It can be applied directly to the face after applying toner, and even the isolation before makeup is saved. It really has a reason to be expensive! I use a moisturizing version, a very pure lotion + sunscreen, without any retouching effect. This step is very simple, just squeeze a little and apply it all over the face. Remember to apply it evenly!

Step 2: Correct skin color

I will use a little contouring cream to correct my skin color before applying foundation, because I have a lot of skin problems, such as acne, acne marks, red blood streaks, dark circles, uneven skin tone, etc. Just a little bit is enough. The reason for doing this step before foundation is to correct the color of the face to a whiter color first, so that the color of the foundation will be easier to cover later. Girls who have studied design or have a background in art must be familiar with this "contrast color wheel". Apply it to correct skin color. The method is: use contrasting colors to balance skin color.

For example, red and green are contrasting colors: if the pimple is red, choose green concealer. Yellow and purple are contrasting colors: if the skin is dull and yellow, you can use purple concealer to brighten the skin.

Because my cheeks are yellow, I first apply a little purple to cover them. If they are red, I use green to cover them. Of course, it will not completely make the red blood disappear, but it will reduce the original color to a certain extent, so that it will be very convenient for you to use liquid foundation to completely cover it later. The key point! Control the amount, the less the better. The purpose of correcting skin color is not to completely cover blemishes, but to better cooperate with liquid foundation to achieve a light and transparent effect.

Step 3: Base makeup

Finally, it's time to apply foundation. This step is also the key to the entire base makeup. The only drawback of Estee Lauder is that it's too expensive, so if you want to find an affordable alternative, this one from Bourjois is very suitable. When it comes to applying foundation, everyone may make the same mistake: the more you apply, the better the coverage. In fact, applying too much foundation not only makes the makeup look heavy, but also makes it easier to remove. If you are a novice and don't know how to use a makeup brush, it is recommended that you use a beauty egg, wet it with water, squeeze it dry, and apply a small amount of liquid foundation. It's easy to get it done! Starting from the chin area where the pores are relatively fine, use a dot-pressing technique to evenly apply it on the entire face. Remember not to push, just press gently. Lightly cover the dark circles and small pimples with a layer. Still follow the principle of small amounts. Don't apply repeatedly. Applying layer after layer will look fake white, and the concealer will be difficult to operate later. If you do this, basically less than half of the pump of liquid foundation you squeeze out will be used, which is quite economical.

Step 4: Concealer

It is best to choose a concealer with a higher moisturizing property, otherwise it is easy to cause fine lines and powder sticking. It is recommended that you pay attention to this when choosing concealer. Some people also complain that CANMAKE is relatively dry, but I personally feel that the moisturizing property is OK. This depends on the individual. First use the darkest color to cover the dark circles, use a small brush, and apply a very small amount under the eyelids.

The principle is similar to correcting skin color before. Dark colors can blend the color of dark circles and cover them more naturally. Then you can use a slightly lighter concealer to brighten the lower eye circles. Apply it in a scattered manner and slowly spread it along the edges. Apply dark colors first and then light colors, so that the eye circles will not be gray. If you want a more natural look, you can use the lightest color to paint on the T-zone and chin. I need to remind everyone: after applying the base makeup, no matter what product you use, do not push it with your hands, but use a dot-press method.

Step 5: Makeup

If you don’t want your hard-earned makeup to be ruined, then hurry up and set it! Pressed powder usually has better concealing power. I use Max Factor and apply it over a large area. You can also use it locally on small blemishes on your face. If you find that there is white stuff on your nose after applying makeup, it may be that you have applied too much foundation before! It is better to use pressed powder to cover the pores later than to use too much foundation at one time. If you don’t have many blemishes on your face, a box of transparent powder will do the trick! Of course, for girls with relatively healthy skin and not too many skin problems, the makeup process is much easier. You can skip correcting skin color and concealing, and apply foundation directly to brighten your cheeks after the isolation, and finally set your makeup.
