Okay, so check it, today I’m gonna break down this “quick easy makeup tutorial” thing I tried. I’m no pro, alright? Just a regular person messing around with makeup. Here’s how it went down:
First things first: Prep the Face
- Washed my face: Obvious, right? Just used my regular cleanser.
- Moisturizer: Slapped on some moisturizer. Gotta keep that skin hydrated.
Nothing fancy, just getting ready for the paint.
Base Time: Foundation & Concealer
- Foundation: I grabbed my usual foundation, the one that kinda matches my skin tone (hopefully). I dotted it all over my face.
- Blending: Then, I used a damp beauty sponge to blend it all in. Pat, pat, pat. I focus on getting an even layer.
- Concealer: Under my eyes, on any blemishes. The usual spots. I used a lighter shade to brighten things up.
- More Blending: Beauty sponge again. Blend, blend, blend until it looks somewhat natural. Key is to not overdo it.
Eyeshadow Shenanigans
- Neutral Base: I grabbed a light brown eyeshadow and swept it all over my lid as a base. Nothing crazy.
- Deeper Shade: Then, I took a slightly darker brown and put it in the crease of my eye. Blended it out so it wasn’t a harsh line.
- Highlight: A little bit of shimmer in the inner corner of my eye to make it pop. Just a tiny bit!
- Mascara: Two coats of mascara on my top lashes. Maybe one on the bottom if I’m feeling fancy.
I’m not an eyeshadow expert, so I kept it simple.
Cheeks & Lips
- Blush: Just a pop of blush on the apples of my cheeks. Makes me look alive, you know?
- Lipstick: I went for a nude lipstick, something natural. Just a swipe and I’m done.
The Final Look
And that’s it! Quick and easy. It’s not perfect, but it’s a decent everyday look. Took me like, 15 minutes maybe? Practice makes perfect, I guess. I will keep at it and share more tips as I figure them out. Catch you all in the next post!
