Cleanse and Moisturize: Lastly, if you still have time wash your face and then apply a good quality tinted moisturizer so that the skin of the face is not dry.

Step 2: In this step, you need to establish the correct Foundation and also the Concealer that suits your skin.

1. Foundation: Try to look for one that has the closest color to your skin you can find because that is the perfect pen for you. Others that women use on their skin today are the Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation MAC Foundation and Bobbi Brown Foundation. Hence, the Maybelline Fit Me Foundation is good for dry skin-related ladies.
2. Concealer: Select an appropriate concealer you may go in for the NARS Concealer or the Too Faced Concealer and apply this on the blemishes and areas of dark circles. Apply it under the eyes, on the nasal area, and any other areas that need heavy blotting.

Step 3: Contour

Contouring is a make-up technique where the individual applies a product that is slightly darker than the skin tone, in a similar way as the light falls on a face and sculpts the face.

1. Contour Stick: The type of contour stick that is recommended is the Best Contour Sticker in case you have to outline the areas beneath the cheekbones, at the angles of the jaw, and on the sides of the nostrils.
2. Blend: With another small brush or sponge mix those contours to your make-up so that it will not be seen. As for brushes, the following types are advised for this: The specified brushes to be used for this are the angled brushes and the blending sponges.

1. Highlighter: Select the highlighter it can be Rare Beauty Highlighter or Lakme Highlighter and apply it on the peak of the cheekbones, the apex of the nose, the center of eyebrows, and over the curve of the lip.

Step 5: On its own; the element of color and definition.

The next thing that is left is to add some highlighter, blush, and contour on your face if you have not done so.

1. Blush: When first learning the process I wanted to begin with applying blush on the cheeks, but more specifically, on the apples. For some good recommendations, some good items they have are the Dior Blush and the Pixi Blush Stick.
2. Bronzer: Chanel bronzer or any other bronzer preferred, grab it and apply it all over the hairline, jawline, and where the angels of the cheek meet.
3. Setting Powder: Make sure you take a setting powder that will set the makeup and also help the makeup to stay in place for the whole day. L’oreal mascara compares well with Urban Decay All Nightery and Best Waterproof Mascara regarding Long wear.

1. Eyes: Following the lips, the best product that one can add to the face to even further accentuate the eyes is an eye shadow palette. The types of mascara include; Essence Mascara, and Maybelline Mascara these give a very long and thick lashes look. Eyebrow gel on the other hand assists in the managing and ‘gluing’ of your eyebrows into the preferred style.
2. Lips: As for the last item, it will be suitable to use lip balm or lipstick since the theme has been focused on lip products. Lip gloss by Dior, MAC lipstick, and Chanel lipstick are ideal to use if one desires to build up the aesthetic value of one’s makeup.

Final Touches
