Basic rules for an ideal complexion, products used to create an even surface of the skin - makeup bases, correctors, concealers, foundations, BB and CC creams, powders, the subtleties of their use.
Basic rules for a perfectly even complexion
A perfectly smooth face “glows” from the inside. No decorative cosmetics on the eyes or lips can make the appearance attractive if the tone is applied poorly.
There are certain general rules for applying foundation to the face. Let's look at them:
- The skin of the face must be carefully prepared before applying cosmetics. To do this, you must first clean it. To cleanse, you can use milk, tonic or micellar water.
- Apply a moisturizer to cleansed skin. This could be your favorite day cream, makeup base or leveling foundation. Be sure to wait until the product is completely absorbed. This usually takes 2-5 minutes.
- Professional makeup artists still recommend using a special makeup base. It allows you to even out the skin, hide fine wrinkles, rashes and other imperfections. In addition, the product allows you to save a lot of foundation.
- Foundation can be applied with a sponge, brush or hands. You can also combine these techniques. It is important not to overload the skin with product so that your face does not look like a mask.
- It is imperative to apply foundation not only to the face, but also to the neck in order to smoothly hide the boundaries.
- Auxiliary corrective products such as highlighter, corrector, shimmer, blush will help bring the image to perfection. They allow you to outline the desired oval of the face and make it more precise. These products are used for sculpting and contouring.
- The finishing touch to creating an even complexion is the application of powder. It can be crumbly or compact. Its main functions: eliminating oily shine, giving the skin a matte finish or, conversely, radiance and a tanning effect.
The ideal complexion is invisible. With proper application of toning products, your skin looks healthy, fresh, and natural. This effect can only be achieved on a well-groomed face that is regularly cleansed, toned and moisturized. And only on prepared skin can decorative cosmetics be applied.
How to achieve the perfect complexion using a makeup base
If you want to do high-quality professional makeup, you should remember that you cannot apply a toner to “bare” skin. In most cases, women use regular day cream at home. But in cosmetics stores you can find a wide variety of special products.
Applying a makeup base somewhat complicates the process and lengthens it. This drawback is especially relevant in the mornings, when there is limited time to apply cosmetics. However, these means should not be neglected, since the advantages are obvious. With high-quality application, the base will provide a coating that is ideal in color and texture. In addition, most modern makeup bases contain vitamins, plant extracts and other beneficial substances that moisturize and nourish the skin.
However, this does not mean that a makeup base can replace a traditional face cream. It's best to apply foundation over moisturizer that has absorbed well.
Makeup base is also called primer. There are several types of primers that prepare the skin for the application of decorative cosmetics and improve the durability of makeup. Even if you don't plan to use makeup foundation every day, use this product in cases where you need your makeup to last as long as possible.
Makeup bases can be of different colors. Such corrective products can be green to eliminate redness, lilac to eliminate yellowness, sallowness, blue to combat the orange tint of excessive tanning, and white to give the skin a “porcelain” appearance.
Some primers contain tiny reflective particles that give the skin a glow. If you have a cool skin tone, then use a base with a pink-pearl sheen, if you have a warm skin tone, use a peach or golden base.
Do not apply primer with a strong shine to the entire surface of the face. It gives the skin a greasy effect. Mattifying makeup bases can remove oily shine and tighten pores. And moisturizers guarantee comfort to dry and aging skin. If you will spend a lot of time in the open rays of the sun, then choose a primer with solar filters.
It is best to apply primers by hand. After application, you should wait a few minutes before applying foundation.
How to create the perfect complexion using BB cream
BB cream has become widely known in the world since 2012. This remedy came from Asia and is translated as “blemish balm cream”. This cream is a symbiosis of foundation and traditional caring cream. It has a thick consistency that resembles a makeup base.
This product compares favorably with regular foundation due to its versatility. BB cream can hide any skin imperfections, lighten it, have a rejuvenating effect, and protect against ultraviolet radiation.
Asian-made BB creams are mainly aimed at whitening the face. Many contain vitamin C, which is famous for its brightening properties. Asian BB creams are often washed off only with special oil-based products.
There is an opinion that BB cream can adapt to skin tone and does not need to be selected for a specific tone. However, this is not true. The color palette of these products, as a rule, is limited to 2-4 shades, and you should choose the one that best suits your own color type.
Despite all the advantages of this cream, you should not place too much hope on it. For example, if you have dry facial skin, it is better to use a regular moisturizer before using a BB cream. In addition, most of these creams have a light texture and are not capable of properly toning circles under the eyes or severe redness. In this case, you can’t do without concealer.
Perfect complexion at home with CC cream
CC cream is another new product on the beauty market that has appeared quite recently. The abbreviation has several meanings: complete correction, color control, and so on. Like BB cream, it came from Asia.
CC cream, unlike BB cream, contains less oils and heavy silicones. Thanks to this, it has a lighter texture, but the leveling abilities of this product have increased. It can be used under the eyes to both camouflage imperfections and for care.
CC cream is quite durable, it perfectly mattifies the face and does not require the use of fixing powder, which is designed to fix makeup. The product also contains nutrients and sunscreen additives.
It is worth noting the rather meager color palette of CC creams - 2-3 shades. However, these products “adjust” to the skin tone better than BB creams.
If you have normal skin, then CC cream can be applied to a clean face. If it is oily or combination, then CC cream is used as a base for foundation. It can also be mixed with foundation. If you are concerned about dry and flaky skin, it is recommended to mix it with a moisturizer.
How to achieve the perfect complexion using corrective products
Concealers are designed to mask small areas of skin that require special treatment. These are, as a rule, small scars, post-acne, pimples, scars, obvious redness, dark circles under the eyes. Let's find out what you need for the perfect complexion from corrective products.
The texture of the corrector can be different - light, liquid, creamy, dense. With light corrective products you can even create the overall tone of your face. Thick compact correctors can eliminate not only unwanted shade of the skin area, but also smooth out the texture due to their matte finish. This quality is indispensable in the fight against acne and age spots.
Correctors, as a rule, can be of different colors. For example, pale pink hides the blue under the eyes and evens out the tone of fair skin. Peach ones eliminate sallow complexions, bruises, and help even out medium-tone skin. The orange corrective conceals pigmentation and post-acne on tanned or dark skin. Yellow correctors help remove dark circles under the eyes on dark skin. Green - eliminates redness. Purple - eliminates the yellow tint.
To fix the corrector on the skin, it is recommended to powder it.
The secret to a perfect complexion using concealer
Concealer is a product used to spot-camouflage small skin imperfections. It is distinguished by a dense, opaque texture. It can be beige in different shades. Compared to classic foundation, concealer hides defects more effectively - acne, age spots, scars, post-acne. However, it is not able to replace a full-fledged foundation. To achieve optimal results, these two products should be combined.
Concealers are often confused with correctors. However, there are certain differences between them. The corrector has a lighter texture and a wider color palette. Shades of the corrector are aimed at correcting certain shortcomings, that is, its action is aimed at neutralizing the excess of a particular color. The concealer eliminates imperfections due to its special dense texture.
You should choose a concealer based on your skin tone. It should be tone on tone or half a tone lighter. There are several types of concealers:
- Liquid. They are chosen by those with dry and sensitive skin for their ease of application and good blending ability. These products are great for applying to the wings of the nose, around the eyes and lips. But they do not mask acne in the best way.
- Cream. They have a soft texture and lie smoothly on the face. They are considered universal, as they are suitable for application to any area of the face. You can apply them with your fingers, brush, or sponge.
- Stick or pencil. This is a type of creamy concealer with a thicker texture. Well hides acne, vascular network, scars, pigmentation, nasolabial wrinkles. However, this product is not the best choice for tinting the area around the eyes, prominent blackheads and obvious skin unevenness. Such concealers should be applied pointwise; it is recommended not to rub.
- Dry. Otherwise called mineral concealers. They are made on the basis of mineral powder. They can not only eliminate skin defects, but also eliminate excess fat and have a healing effect. You should not use dry concealer under your eyes, especially if there are fine wrinkles in this area.
Step-by-step creation of the ideal complexion tone with foundation
Foundation is the basis for an ideal complexion. It is distinguished by a creamy, but not liquid texture. It should not be absorbed, but give a uniform, dense coating.
When choosing this product, you can get confused - there are a huge number of varieties and shades of foundation. There are dense products that are saturated with pigment particles and lie on the skin in an opaque layer. Others are lighter and moderately tint the skin, masking minor defects. Dense ones are more difficult to apply to the face, as they require careful shading and a well-chosen shade to match the skin.
All foundations are divided into two large color palettes: pinkish and yellowish. They should be chosen based on the rule of opposites - pinkish for yellowish skin and vice versa. Yellow foundations are most often labeled by manufacturers as “beige”, “naturel”, etc. Pinkish shades are marked on the packaging as “porcelain”, “rose” and so on.
You can get a smooth face with the perfect shade only if the chosen foundation is invisible on the skin and suits not only the color, but also the type. For dry skin, choose a moisturizer. A mineral-based cream is not suitable for such a person, since most of the components of such products dry out the skin. If you have oily epidermis, then do not use a thick fat-based concealer. A water-based mattifying product with a light texture will suit you.
There are also foundations with a radiant effect. They perfectly “rejuvenate” the image, making it lighter, fresher, and more festive. In addition, such products emphasize the relief of the face.
When choosing a foundation, choose a half shade lighter than your skin tone. This way you will refresh your face and remove signs of fatigue.
- To apply, use a sponge, brush or hands. It is recommended to combine these methods: first apply the cream with a light touch with a sponge or brush, then carefully tap it into the skin with your fingers.
- It is best to apply foundation from top to bottom and from the center to the periphery. We move from the forehead to the nose, cheeks and chin. Remember that the further you move away from the center of the face, the thinner and more transparent the layer of toner should be.
- Particular care should be taken to apply foundation to the area from the chin to the neck. The latter should not be strikingly different in color from the face, otherwise all makeup can be considered ruined. Carefully blend the product on the borders so that they are invisible.
- Under no circumstances should foundation be applied to the eyelids. The skin in this area is too thin and sensitive. Corrector or concealer should be used in these places.
Fixing products for the perfect complexion
Compact powder is the No. 1 product in any woman’s cosmetic bag. Not only is it an indispensable “helper” when your nose or forehead becomes shiny at the end of the day, but it also allows you to fix your makeup and add the finishing touch. The powder can also be crumbly, but this option is best used at home; applying it outside the home is problematic.
It should be remembered that powder is not an independent element of makeup. Its main functions are matting the skin and fixing creamy tonal textures. Therefore, you should not expect the same coverage from it as after a thick foundation.
The traditional component of powder is talc. However, recently manufacturers have been abandoning its use in favor of new ingredients, as it sometimes creates a “chalky” effect. For example, quartz or rice powder do not contain it.
Apply powder with a brush, powder puff or fingers. A puff or sponge will provide dense coverage, which is perfect for those with oily skin. By applying the powder with a brush, you can achieve a light, almost invisible layer.

There are two types: superficial and deep. Their choice depends on the persistence of pigmentation and the depth of damage to the skin.
Its superficial appearance helps to cope with light pigmentation, it acts a little more intensely than a scrub, but the deep one is used for more stubborn spots.
It involves introducing special vitamins into the upper layers of the skin. The technique successfully eliminates facial wrinkles and makes the skin more elastic, tightening it along the entire oval of the face.

Some immediately thought, why bother if you can buy an excellent leveling tone and choose the right makeup base and, half an hour after applying them, get an even tone. This can be done, but the causes of changes in the skin cannot be eliminated, and the constant use of decorative cosmetics will only worsen the situation.
Procedures for smoothing facial skin at home begin with cleaning it; under no circumstances should you wash your face with soap, as it will dry out the epidermis and have a detrimental effect on its shade. It’s worth choosing a foam or light gel once, which you can use for several months.
It would be good to remember to use a scrub every week to get rid of dead cells that prevent the appearance of new ones.

Many girls buy expensive creams, go to salons and often have no effect, because a lot depends on the cause. First of all, you need to understand what causes uneven skin tone. Perhaps by changing your lifestyle and some rules, you can already noticeably improve your situation.
The most common factors that influence skin heterogeneity are:
- . Consumption of harmful preservatives has a negative effect not only on the stomach, but also on the entire body as a whole. Fatty, spicy and sweet foods retain water, cause acne and, of course, affect the complexion. The same thing is caused by a lack of fruits, berries and vegetables.
- . Water is vital for the skin, because it is responsible for many metabolic processes. Its deficiency can also spoil the color of the epidermis, as well as add peeling and many other troubles to its owner.
- Lack of sleep. Overnight, skin cells are renewed and the body receives new energy. We need to sleep at least 7-8 hours. In addition, you also need to go to bed not late, because after 12 o’clock at night, every hour is equal to minutes of rest. Constant lack of sleep affects not only fatigue, but also the skin.
- Ecology and climate. If there are many factories in your city, then every day a considerable share of impurities containing toxins floats in the air. They linger in our body and “stick” to the skin. The monotonous climate has no less negative impact. A small number of sunny days deprives the skin of necessary and beneficial vitamins, as well as a good mood, which also affects the appearance.
- Stomach problems. Diseases of internal organs never go unnoticed. Gastritis or ulcers cause particular damage to the face. They often give acne and an unhealthy complexion to the face. You should not be lazy, go to the doctor and do regular examinations, because some people have stomach pain “silently,” affecting only the external condition.
- Genetics. Many problems and illnesses are inherited. This is why bags under the eyes and uneven skin tone are so difficult to remove if they have been present since birth.
- Bad habits. It has long been known that smoking and alcohol cause severe damage to the skin of the face. Many people note that people who abuse bad habits look sick and tired.
- Lack of fresh air. With the advent of computers, the problem of a sedentary lifestyle has worsened. People have stopped taking regular walks, and many travel exclusively by car. This is one of the most striking reasons that has a strong impact on skin color.
- Incorrect care. Incorrect, inadequate moisturizing or low-quality cosmetics are the enemies of a beautiful complexion.
Skin smoothing methods
You can even out your facial tone not only by eliminating the above reasons. Every day, many girls are saved by the right makeup, and for some, good, effective masks. For those looking for quick results, salon treatments are suitable.
It is worth saying that an integrated approach will help best. The combination of all the rules will help deal with the problem quickly and efficiently. You can also use some methods that have proven themselves for a long time:
- It is worth carrying out skin care procedures twice a day. Particular attention should be paid to thoroughly cleansing the skin. Even if you haven't left the house, dust and grease will still form on your skin, so simply rinsing with water won't be enough. Also, we must not forget about hydration after the procedure. Use .
- After about a day, you need to use face masks that even out the tone, which are suitable. Only constant nutrition and deeper cleansing will allow you to achieve the long-awaited beauty.
- Remember to remove dead skin cells. Use peels and scrubs several times a week. They remove flaking and make the epidermis smoother and more even. Particularly popular now are “rolls,” which cleanse the skin more delicately and evenly than scrubbing particles.
- Spend detox days, because they remove toxins from the body. On detox days you need to consume a lot of vegetable and fruit juices.
The effect of food on skin color
Any food gives the body not only a feeling of fullness, but also useful substances, some microelements. This is why consuming the right foods is so important.
Seafood, chicken, eggs, cottage cheese and many other dairy products have a great influence on the epidermis. Any vegetables and fruits are irreplaceable and very healthy. For a healthy complexion, it is recommended to eat more beets, carrots, citrus fruits, apricots, broccoli and tomatoes.
As for drinks, freshly squeezed juices in moderate doses have an extremely positive effect on the body. Good green tea also has benefits. But it is better to avoid coffee, carbonated lemonades and packaged juices.
Folk remedies for evening out skin color
How to even out your complexion at home? In fact, you can fight this difficulty using folk methods. In addition, they do not require special investments. The rules and recipes have been tested for generations and still never cease to amaze:

How to even out your complexion using cosmetics
If you are just starting to deal with this problem, then the right makeup will help you at first. You should choose cosmetics based on your skin type. If you have peeling, then pay attention to a moisturizing tone, and if you have oily skin, then to mattifying products.
Additionally, a base can even out your complexion and smooth out your skin. Do not use it every day, as a large amount of silicones can clog your pores over time. Therefore, carefully remove it when removing makeup.
Next, you need to apply foundation or BB or CC cream. Here a lot depends on the number of problems on the face. Still, the foundation is the densest. You need to distribute it over your face with a kabuki brush or beauty blender.
Those who suffer from dark circles under the eyes will also need concealer. It will also help remove age spots, acne marks, pimples themselves and rosacea. You can dust your face a little on top to set your makeup. Next, you can already make up your eyes, eyebrows, lips and whatever you want.
This makeup will perfectly hide all imperfections and make your complexion more even and rested. An important point is the quality of the products themselves. Don’t save money on this, because the face quickly “absorbs” both bad and good components.
Salon treatments
If you decide to get professional help, then take a closer look at these procedures:

Women want to look beautiful, but when achieving their goal, they forget about the main thing - the health of their facial skin. Thanks to the choice of products and procedures, evening out your tone is no longer an impossible task. And you don't have to visit a beauty salon. Our article is about how to even out your facial skin at home.
Foundation cannot mask imperfections caused by poor nutrition, aggressive environmental influences and incorrect care. In addition, today a thick layer of makeup is considered bad form; naturalness is the key to beauty and attractiveness. For this reason, girls are using foundation, powder and bright makeup less and less.
You can look beautiful without decorative cosmetics or with minimal use of it if you have smooth skin without conspicuous imperfections.
What cosmetics will help even out your complexion?
The basis of beautiful makeup is an even complexion. Even if you do perfect eye makeup, beautifully shape your eyebrows, curl your eyelashes, it will all be in vain. If your skin is uneven in color, with inflammation and dark circles under the eyes, these imperfections will be the first to be noticeable.
But if you focus on skin tone, achieve the ideal color, and can hide signs of fatigue and unevenness, then you can do light makeup. Just apply mascara and lip gloss. The “nude” style technique is becoming increasingly widespread. This type of makeup is often used at fashion shows of famous designers. Makeup artists achieve the effect of velvety skin, a perfectly even color, as if glowing from within, leaving emphasis on the cheekbones.
In order to create a make-up that will match your image, you need to choose the right cosmetics, taking into account your skin type.
- Primer.
A primer is a cosmetic product that is used as a base for makeup before applying foundation. It is necessary to make the skin texture even and slightly moisturize it. Then the foundation will apply better and there will be no signs of peeling. Primers that contain pigment (pink, yellow, green, lilac) will cope with the problem of uneven skin color. For a face with a pronounced reddish-pink tint, a product with a green pigment is suitable, which will eliminate unwanted redness and give the skin a natural look. Pink color neutralizes the olive tint, yellow will cope with pallor and blueness, lilac will lighten the skin and give it radiance. The primer perfectly mattifies the skin and fills it with moisture. - BB cream (CC cream).
BB and CC creams have literally revolutionized the idea of makeup. What is the secret of their popularity and effectiveness? These products provide the skin with excellent care, after which it looks great, and this at a small cost and time. This cream is truly unique, as it provides an even skin tone, moisturizes it and protects it from harmful factors.The big advantage of this product is that it has a lighter texture than foundation. It is applied in a very thin layer, so the product is completely invisible on the skin. CC cream is an improved version of BB cream; it has an even lighter texture with a mattifying effect. This cosmetic product is great for evening out the complexion with makeup if a woman has oily skin. Manufacturers strive to improve their product: they supplement it with antioxidants or include substances that prevent skin aging.
- Highlighter.
If you are looking for an answer to the question of how to even out your face before makeup, a highlighter is perfect for this. This product is used to highlight certain areas of the face, making them lighter. It is used on the cheekbones, the middle of the bridge of the nose and forehead, the edge of the upper lip, and the mobile eyelid. Highlighter is often used simultaneously with dark powders or bronzers. This product differs in texture: it can be liquid, creamy, powdery.The highlighter can be used as a base for foundation or mixed with it. As a result, you will get the effect of smooth, glowing skin, literally with a pearly glow. When creating evening makeup, highlighter is applied on top of foundation or mattifying powder, but for daytime it is better to distribute it under foundation. This will give your skin a slight glow and look natural.
- Concealers and correctors.
These products speak for themselves. In makeup they are used to eliminate local imperfections. The green corrector helps to cope with redness, and the reddish-pink color corrects dark circles under the eyes. But foundation is not suitable for this. To eliminate dark circles, you need to use a special product that will not only hide them, but also help moisturize the skin.
Correctors are applied pointwise to those areas of the face that require more thorough treatment. They vary in texture: from light and liquid to dense cream. The first ones can be used to apply tone. The latter not only give the desired shade to the skin, but also smooth out unevenness due to their matte finish. They are convenient to use to hide inflammation and age spots.
Thick compact correctors not only remove color, but also smooth out the skin texture due to their matte finish, for example, they fight pimples and age spots. With its help, you can prepare the base to later even out your face tone with makeup. In order for the corrector to adhere to the skin, it needs to be lightly powdered.
- Shimmers.
Translated from English, “shimmer” means to flicker. This cosmetic product is used in makeup when they want to even out the tone of the face and eliminate dullness of the skin. Shimmer helps achieve this with a radiant effect. The main difference between this product and highlighter is that it contains substances (mother of pearl, minerals, mica) that provide shine. Thanks to pigments of different tones, the shimmer makes the skin color multifaceted. It is best suited for an evening look, and it must be applied using a special artificial bristle brush. The powdery texture will help even out your complexion and complete your makeup. - Makeup base.
If you want to even out your complexion with makeup, you should pay attention to a product such as a primer. For those with oily skin, special mattifying bases are suitable: they neutralize shine. For dry skin, you need to choose an option with a moisturizing effect. The primer smoothes out unevenness, fills pores and wrinkles. It is not only perfect as a base for makeup (it is applied before foundation), but also ensures its durability. - Foundation.
You can't do without foundation if you want to get a beautiful, even complexion. To find your ideal option, first apply the product to your skin. This way you can evaluate its texture, durability, and whether this shade suits you. After all, the foundation should blend with your skin; it is not allowed to be lighter or darker. The foundation creates a kind of “canvas” from the face, which allows you to experiment with makeup: draw arrows, make a “smoky eye” or apply red lipstick to your lips. - Powder.
It is used to complete makeup. Using powder you can fix the final result and preserve your makeup for a long time. But you can apply it yourself, without foundation. For problematic skin, a variety with antibacterial components is suitable, and for those prone to dryness - with a weightless finish.

Chin and neck correction using contouring
Chin makeup will be the last step in creating the ideal face shape. If it seems too massive, it is darkened on the sides, and highlighter is applied in the center and up to the upper lip. For other types, the chin is usually completely light and only slightly emphasized with a darker tone.
Many people often forget about the neck, which is why it stands out from the general background, which leads to the idea that the girl has a lot of makeup on her face. You need to take care of a smooth transition from the cheekbones to the neck. Foundation and powder are used to disguise small irregularities and wrinkles.
If the neck looks short or saggy, then the solution would be to apply dark tones to the area under the chin. The pronounced depression between the collarbones also looks elegant, so makeup artists darken it.
How to prepare your skin for makeup to even out your face
Before you start straightening your face, you need to thoroughly clean it. After all, if there are areas of severe peeling left on the skin, no amount of makeup will eliminate it. Particular attention should be paid to cleansing and moisturizing.
If you don’t take care of the condition of your skin and take care of it every day, you definitely won’t be able to achieve an even tone. Dull, unhealthy skin with a yellowish tint will make any woman look older. Dead cells, if not removed in time, will prevent the moisturizer from being absorbed, and accordingly, the tone will lie unevenly. As a result, the makeup will be done poorly, and the appearance will become untidy. Before evening out your complexion with makeup, be sure to use scrubs to ensure complete skin care. Your esthetician may perform special chemical peels or beta-alpha hydroxy acid peels.
Eyebrow shaping
If your eyebrows are in order and there are no extra hairs around them, then it’s time to start applying cosmetics to them. The most popular products: pencil, lipstick and eyebrow shadow.
Pencil and lipstick are easy to use and easy to remove. Minus - the lines may look too sharp and unnatural , so it’s better to choose shades that are not too dark.
Shadows are a more durable product, but it will also be more difficult to correct unsuccessful makeup. You need to be careful with the amount of shadow you apply to make your eyebrows look natural. The application process is identical to a pencil, only the cosmetics are applied with a special brush.
If you can’t correct your eyebrows by plucking them with tweezers, you can purchase special stencils or contact a stylist for long-term coloring.
How to even out your face with makeup: step-by-step instructions
- The first thing to start with is hydration. To do this, you can use a makeup base or any other product (serum is perfect). It is enough to apply it in a thin layer on the face, neck and décolleté. Pay extra attention to the area around the eyes, use a special moisturizer. Apply a thick layer of balm to your lips.
- Using a brush, cover your face with a thin layer of liquid highlighter. You can mix it with serum and get the now popular “wet” skin glow effect.
- For normal, combination or oily skin, a foundation in a stick is suitable, which will provide dense and long-lasting coverage. For skin prone to dryness, a cream with a liquid consistency and a moisturizing effect is suitable. When applying, use a blending technique from the center of the face to the periphery with light circular movements.
- Use liquid or dry highlighter to add accents. Apply it to the prominent parts of the face: cheekbones, central part of the forehead, chin, bridge of the nose and the tick above the upper lip. This will avoid the “flat face” effect, which is a common mistake. Use a concealer or stick to neutralize under-eye circles.
- If you are slightly tanned, a liquid highlighter in a bronze shade is suitable for makeup; be sure to apply it to the moving eyelid. For girls with pale or fair skin, use a classic pearl shade.
- Now start the contouring technique. First, brush a dry brush over the entire surface of your face to remove sebum (excess sebum). Use a contouring palette: beige-gray color for the cheekbones, the darkest shade for the temple area and jawline. If you want to visually reduce your nose and correct its shape, then slightly darken the wings. Apply the lightest shades to the following areas of the face: the central part of the forehead, the bridge of the nose and the chin.
- It's time to use blush. Take the lightest shade from the palette and apply it to the area located just above the apples of your cheeks, then to your brow bones and chin. Blend thoroughly to achieve a natural effect.
- Continue working with blush. Use fuchsia and light pink as shadows. Use a dark color for the area of the moving eyelid, where the fold is, and apply a light color to the central part. This will add lightness and freshness to the look.
- A juicy pink shade is suitable for lips. Cover your upper lip with a more intense color, going slightly beyond the border. And just add a little tint to the lower lip. Finally, apply a moisturizing balm. This will give your lips a slight shine.
- To complete the look, use voluminous mascara to make your look more expressive.
Contouring the T-zone and cheekbones
An important stage that will highlight the beauty of a woman if you follow the sequence of applying makeup and pay attention to the shape of your face.
It can be round, square, triangular, oval and heart-shaped - it’s easy to determine if you look in the mirror.
Contouring has general rules:

- Correct order of funds.
You need to apply the corrector first, then the foundation and then the concealer. And only in this sequence. The corrector will eliminate skin imperfections (acne, dark circles, age spots, vascular networks), the foundation will even out the complexion and cover the corrector. And the concealer will help to place accents and emphasize the advantages of the face. You don’t have to use corrector or concealer if you don’t feel the need, but you can’t change the order in which you use the products.
- Choose the right concealer.
If you have difficulty choosing a concealer, the following rules will help you:
- Pale pink is needed to neutralize dark circles under the eyes, post-acne marks, and provide an even tone to fair skin.
- Peach will cope with earthy pale undertones, blue under the eyes and even out the complexion of a medium tone.
- Orange is suitable for dark, tanned skin; it can help eliminate pigment spots and post-acne spots.
- Yellow is useful for disguising dark circles and dark circles under the eyes on tanned skin.
- Green will eliminate redness.
- Lilac neutralizes the yellow tone of the skin.
- Reapplication.
If the dark circles are quite obvious, you should use two layers of concealer. The first time - on clean skin, and the second time - to complete makeup.
- Define the T-zone with primer.
This stage is especially important for those with oily skin. The primer will eliminate the effect of oily shine and help fix the foundation on the skin.
- Control the application density.
Don't use foundation all over your face. For the T-zone, veils, fluids, BB or CC creams are best suited. The area of the cheekbones, temples, chin, as well as the oval of the face should be covered with a thicker product. If the skin on the cheeks is smooth, without flaws, it is enough to use a medium-density foundation.
- Find the perfect color.
To find the most suitable shade, apply foundation to the middle of your cheek. Move about a meter to one and a half meters away from the mirror. If the foundation blends in with your skin color from this distance, then it suits you. A darker foundation will be needed for contouring the face.
- Correct shading.
The foundation should be applied along massage lines from the center to the periphery. Start at the bridge of the nose, move to the tip of the nose, and then move to the forehead line and temples. Now move from the bridge of the nose to the cheek area, to the cheekbones, then again from the bridge of the nose along the wings of the nose, from the nasolabial area to the chin.

Drawing arrows and eye contours
The arrows help to enlarge the eyes and give expressiveness to the look.
Use 3 products: eyeliner, eye shadow and pencil:
- Pencil- an option for girls with no experience in applying makeup. It is comfortable and easy to wipe off. The downside is that it doesn’t last as long as other cosmetics and can fall off if you don’t set the edges of the eyeliner with powder.
- Eyeliner- a more durable product, arrows with it turn out more expressive and accurate. It requires experience to use it. At first, you can use a felt-tip eyeliner (it has a thin tip and does not smudge).
Eyeshadow lines look harmonious, but due to the crumbly structure, it can be difficult for beginners to apply them strictly along the eye contour. Less popular remedy.
The rules for drawing arrows and eye contours are similar for any cosmetics.
Drawing the contours of the lips
Contouring the lips is not necessary if they are sufficiently defined and voluminous. In other cases, contouring will hide imperfections and complement makeup. A special pencil is used for drawing.
Subsequence:
You can slightly deviate from the natural line of the lips to give them the desired shape.
