So, grab your makeup bag, and let’s get started!
Prep Your Skin
Do you want your makeup to stay as glowy and crease-free as when you first applied it? If yes, all you need to do is prep your skin well in advance! Before diving into the art, you need to make sure your skin is all set and ready to go!
Start with cleansing your face with a gentle cleanser. Then, apply serum gradually all over your face and pat it gently to absorb it into the skin. Next, apply a moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated.
Finally, use a primer to set the base for your makeup so that it lasts longer! Don’t forget sun protection!
Get a Flawless Base
First, start with a flawless base. Your foundation will set the tone for the entire makeup. The trick is to find a shade that is true to your skin tone, neither a shade light nor a shade darker!
Next, all you need to do is blend, blend, and blend! Whether you prefer doing it with a brush or your fingers, the secret lies in applying the foundation evenly.
Remember to blend down your neck to avoid any harsh lines! Also, just a pump or two is all you need for your whole face; you don’t need to go overboard to look fabulous!
Mesmerizing Eyes
Next up, let’s talk about those eyes. They say the eyes are the windows to the soul, so you want to make sure yours are popping on stage. Start by priming your eyelids to create a smooth canvas for your eyeshadow.
Then, it’s time to get creative! Whether you’re going for a soft and romantic look or full-on glam, the key is to blend, blend, blend. Don’t forget to add a touch of shimmer to the inner corners of your eyes to make them really sparkle under the stage lights.
Next is lashes! For a dramatic look, you can add false lashes that will eventually make your eyes look bigger! Just make sure to trim them to fit your eye shape, and then add a coat of mascara to blend your natural lashes with the falsies.
Brow Perfection
If you want to slay the brow game, embrace your natural shape and work with what you’ve got. Don’t overdo it; fill it in only with minimal product! Your brows should look natural and defined, not artificial and overpowering!
Blush and Glow
Looking to add instant brightness to your face? Blush works like magic, giving you that radiant glow in no time! Choose a blush shade that complements your skin tone and apply it to the apples of your cheeks. F
Add a highlighter to the high points of your face, like your cheekbones, brow bone, and cupid’s bow, for that extra glow. You’ll be glowing like a diva in no time!
Perfect Pout
Are you the bold girl who loves red lips or the subtle queen who adores subtle shades? Whatever you prefer, the shade you choose should amplify your glow! Start by lining your lips with a lip liner to define their shape and prevent your lipstick from feathering.
Then, fill them in with your chosen lipstick shade and blot any excess to avoid smudges. For that extra plump, dab a bit of gloss to the centre of your lips!
Set Everything in Place
Last but not least, set the makeup with a shimmery setting spray to lock everything in place! It will ensure that your look stays flawless for hours, from the opening number to the final walk!
