5 quick tips for applying makeup
- Cleanse your skin first using a delicate and light cleanser to guarantee your makeup is applied evenly and stays put all day.
- Moisturize to brighten and soften your skin. Using a moisturizer with SPF helps to moisturize the skin and also protect it from sun damage.
- Shape and maintain your eyebrows with tweezers so they frame your face well and use a spoolie brush to groom them before applying makeup.
- Exfoliate your lips before applying lipstick to get rid of any dry skin. Remember, lip scrubs should only be used once a week at most.
- Choose a formula that suits your skin’s specific needs. For example, if you have oily skin, choose a matte long-wear foundation for a long-lasting grease-free look.
