how do you put on makeup, step by step??

Answer 1

Ok here goes:

1) Apply a lightweight moisturizer all over your face (sparingly) so your makeup won't clump.

2) Apply concealer to any belemishes. (Use your ring or middle finger to apply it... or a small brush)

3) Apply foundation using a brush by pouring a SMALL amount into the palm of your hand (you can use a sponge as well, just pour it onto the sponge) and spread all over your face. Put some a little under your jawline so there's not visible makeup lines.

4) Dust a pressed powder over your whole face using a powder brush to eliminate shine.

5) Apply eyeshadow using a small brush on your lids. If you want a more dramatic look apply a bronze-y color on the crease.

6) Use mascara... coat your lashes (top and bottom) on both sides. Make sure you coat the top and bottom of each (top of the top, bottom of the top... yea u get it...). If you want to make your eyes pop use eyeline right under your lower lashes, drawing a fine line. If you mess up try eye-makeup remover (or water) on a q-tip.

7) (this is def. optitional... it doesn't look good on some ppl) Apply blush (or bronzer) right along the cheekbone and a little in the apples of your cheeks. (suck in for the cheekbone, smile for the apple if you're confused...)

8) Apply lipgloss or lipstick... and you're good to go.


I know it sounds like a lot, but after you're used to it you'll be able to do it in 5 minutes.

First apply a tinted moisturizer with a sunscreen all over your face with a sponge. Make sure you change or wash the sponge every time you wash it because oils and bacteria from the sponge will cause acne and will reclog your pores. If you have any dark circles or dark areas, use a concealer brush and apply a concealer that is 1 or 2 shades lighter than your skin. Then apply a sheer translucent powder with a big fluffy brush. Afterwards, you can use blush on the apples of your cheeks and use a bronzer on the bottom of your cheekbones. After the skin comes the eyes. Use a highlighting stick to highlight the 3 places: the corners of your eyes, right below your eyebrows, and right along your temples. Then use your eyeshadows. (I'm not sure what you look like so I can't give you specific colors). If you have small eyes, use an eyeliner pencil and put a thin line right along your top eyelashes. You shouldn't see the line that much but it will give the illusion of a bigger eye. Then use an eyelash curler. After, use a mascara. Make sure you don't use the eyelash curler after you use the mascara because you could pull out some eyelashes. Once you're done with your eyes, use the big fluffy brush (the one from t he translucent powder) and sweep it around your eyes (without anything on it) to get any eyeshadow, etc. that might've fallen on your face. For the lips, use a tinted gloss (again, i don't know what you look like so i can't give specific colors.) If your lips are small, use a shimmery gloss. If your lips are big, don't. Make sure you don't use a lip liner because once the gloss wears away, you'll have a line around your lip that won't look so good, lol. If you have any questions or comments, let me know! Enjoy!

Answer 3

For the best way to learn how to apply makeup call one of your local cosmetic counters and make an appointment for a makeup application session. I would recommend one of the better ones, such as Elizabeth Arden, MAC, Estee Lauder, Lancome, etc. The people who work at these counters are well trained and can help you with any questions you may have, as well as give you tips and tricks that wouldn't be known by people outside the industry. The makeup application itself will only cost you the purchase of a product or two, so you will have the products you buy to take home and you will have learned how to apply makeup from a professional. They can also tell you what colors work best for you as well as how to accentuate your best features and minimize those you aren't as happy with.
It's well worth it to know how to do this properly.
After you learn the key is to practice a LOT until you are happy with the results.
Good luck.

Answer 5

Well what i do is, after I wash my face in the morning, I put on a good moisturizer. It helps my makeup stick well on my face. Then I use concealer to cover up any dark spots under my eyes or any pimples. After that I curl my eye lashes and use mascara to keep the curl. Then I put on eye shadow or eye liner on. Then i darken my eye brows and then put a light powder over my face.

Answer 6

Use this: a million. prepare the sunshine pink on the whole eye (from the lash to the brow) 2. prepare the medium pink to the exterior on the lid and slightly above it 3. prepare the dark to the lid, and use a brown liner on spectacular and backside lid Do an analogous in brown, eco-friendly, and variety of a maroon - ish shade. This seems superb with golden bronzer and nude or diminished gloss. wish I helped!

Answer 7

moisturize then use concealer under eyes, lose powder all over applied w/brush, then powder lips and lids to 'hold' makeup. eye shadow on lids, eye liner, curl eyelashes, dab of blush, mascara, lips are last - usually line then apply lipstick or gloss... Voila! done in about 10 mins.... :-)

Answer 8

that's how i do it.
wash face first, put toner, then moisturiser, apply sunscreen, put on a base (that can even the skin colour), then foundation, use concealer to conceal any acne scars or blemish, use loose powder for a last touch ;)

Answer 9

Try this...

Before you Start
Always apply makeup to clean skin (follow the routine appropriate for your skin type).


Make sure you have all the appropriate makeup tools and products you need.


Apply makeup in a well-lighted area.


Use a magnifying mirror to check your blending and overall smoothness.

Step 1: Foundation
Select a foundation for your skin type that matches your underlying skin tone exactly. Using the flat, smooth surface of a round, nonporous synthetic sponge, pour some foundation onto the sponge, then transfer the foundation in dots and dabs all over the face and the eyelids. You can also use your fingers to transfer the foundation in dots from the bottle to the face. Use your sponge to blend the foundation down and out over the face. Use the edge of the sponge without foundation (or turn the sponge over to the clean side) to dab or buff away any excess product. Do not apply foundation on the neck or under the chin. Your sponge is an exceptional blending tool that can be utilized throughout the makeup application process.

Note: If you are relying on a foundation with sunscreen for sun protection, you must apply a complete, even layer over the entire face. A thin or too sheer application will not provide adequate protection from the sun.

Step 2: Concealer
Use a concealer that is one or two shades lighter than your foundation. Apply it in a small arc around the inside corner of the eye. Using your fingers or a concealer brush, blend the concealer out evenly by dabbing and buffing. Avoid pulling or tugging the skin under the eye. Be careful not to spread the concealer onto areas where you don’t want it. You can also apply concealer to the eyelid if that area is dark or, if your concealer has a matte finish, as a way to help eyeshadow cling better. For concealing facial discolorations such as freckles, blemishes, or red spots, use a concealer that matches or is just slightly lighter than your natural skin tone.

Note: Overly emollient or greasy moisturizers can make concealer slip into the lines around the eyes.

Step 3: Powder
After you apply the foundation and concealer, dust a light layer of powder over the entire face and eyelids. Apply the powder with a large, full, round brush. Avoid using a sponge or powder puff, which can put too much powder onto the face. Pick up some of the powder on the full end of the brush, knock off the excess, and brush it on using the same motion and direction as you did for the foundation (down and out).

Powder is great for touch-ups as the day goes by to dust down excessive shine.

Powder with sunscreen must be applied liberally so a thorough application is necessary for adequate protection. It is best to use a powder with sunscreen in combination with a foundation and/or moisturizer that also offers sun protection.

Step 4: Eyeshadow
All of the options for building an eye design are too numerous to list here. The following is a basic application that can be adapted to create a variety of looks:

Typically, the lightest color is applied to the entire eyelid and to the edge of the eyebrow. (The general rule is that the larger or more prominent the eyelid area is compared with the under-brow area, the darker or deeper the eyelid color can be; the smaller the eyelid area is compared with the under-brow area, the brighter or lighter the eyelid color can be.) Select a deeper color from the same or a complementary color family to shade the crease. Practice your application and blend well; the goal is not to have obvious edges of color. Remember, lighter colors bring things forward and highlight, dark colors recede and add depth and shading.

Step 5: Eyeliner
Position the brush, pencil, or applicator as close to the lashline along the eyelid as possible. Then draw a line from the inner to outer corner using one fluid stroke, following the curvature of the eyelid. As a general rule, do not extend the line past the outer corner of the eye or hug the tear duct area of the eye. At first, keep the line as thin as possible, and if a thicker line is desired, repeat the process either across the entire lash line or simply on the outer third of the lid along the lashes.

Generally, the line along the lower lashes should be thinner and a less-intense color than the upper liner. Make sure that the two lines meet at the back corner of the eye. As a general rule, the larger the eyelid area, the thicker and softer the eyeliner should be. The smaller the eyelid area, the thinner and more intense the liner should be.

For health reasons, avoid lining the rim of the eye.

Step 6: Eyebrow Shaping
Use a color that closely matches the color of your brows rather than your hair color or a color you think would look better than what already exists. Apply powder brow color using a wedge brush, working in the direction the hair grows. Use a light touch, with short, quick motions, and avoid the temptation to exaggerate the shape of the brow by arching it severely or extending the brow into the temple area.

Step 7: Mascara
If you use a lash curler, it is best to use it before you apply mascara. Squeeze gently with even pressure. Hold for a few seconds as you “walk” the curler along the length of the eyelashes, and release slowly. Apply mascara to the upper lashes using long, sweeping strokes. Be sure to begin as close to the lash root as possible and brush up and out. Use an old, cleaned-up mascara wand to remove any clumping that occurs.

Apply mascara to the lower lashes by holding the wand perpendicular to the eye and parallel to the lashes (using the tip of the wand). If necessary, use a tissue to wipe excess mascara off the brush before applying to the lower lashes.

Step 8: Blush
Using a blush brush, apply blush along the full line of the cheekbone brushing down and back toward the ear. Always knock the excess powder out of the brush to avoid applying too much blush. Use your sponge to soften any hard edges. Do not apply blush to the temple area, chin, nose, or forehead--this tends to make skin look uneven and ruddy.

Step 9: Lipstick and Lip Liner
A lip brush or lip pencil is an optional accessory. You can use a lip pencil to draw a definitive edge around the mouth to follow when applying lipstick, and a lip brush to control your application. A standard tube of lipstick makes too wide a mark for some lips and too narrow a mark for others. If your lips are small, it is best to use a lip brush; if your lips are large, the only reason to use a lip brush is to improve your accuracy, especially with deeper shades such as red.

Line the actual shape of your mouth. Do not use corrective techniques that make the mouth look larger or longer, especially for daytime makeup--it almost always looks like a mistake.

If you want your lipstick to last, apply more of it and don’t blot; blotting takes off several layers before you’ve even left the house.

Important Reminder:

Good brushes are essential for applying makeup:
Use soft, pliable brushes. Avoid hard or stiff brushes.


Use a brush that is the correct size for the area of the face you are working on. Avoid brushes that are too large or too small.

Remember to knock the excess powder off the brush before you apply the color to your face.


Brush on the color gently with short even strokes; avoid wiping or rubbing the brush across the face.


Gently wash your brushes every month or so.
