#1 The Key to a Naturally Flawless Face Begins with Skin Preparation
Creating the perfect canvas for your make-up starts by cleansing, toning, and moisturising your face. Once your skin is clean, it’s time to move on to the actual application part.
#2 Use a Foundation that is a Shade Lighter Than Your Skin Tone
One of the most important steps to creating a flawless complexion is to start with the correct foundation. Starting at the centre of your face, using either a flat foundation brush or a sponge, blend the foundation in thin layers. Remember, you’re not applying a mask. You’re trying to create an even tone that makes your face look smooth and natural
#3 Highlight Your Cheek Bones
Finally, to create a healthy, radiant glow, sweep a touch of rose blush under your cheekbones and up along your hairline. If you want to appear sun-kissed, apply a bronzer as well.
#5 Create Lush-Looking Lips
Using a colour that matches your inner lip, apply your lipstick to the centre of your mouth where colour tends to wear off first. Once you’ve blended the lipstick out over your lips, pat the colour on with your fingertip to help it stay on longer.
