10 Glam Secrets for a Fabulous Makeup Look
Share
Ready to elevate your makeup? Here are ten things that make the biggest difference.
1. Prep Your Skin
Before any makeup, make sure your skin is clean and well hydrated. Use a moisturizer suited to your skin type to create a smooth canvas.
Try pairing your routine with HydroPure Tinted Serum or Facial Recovery Oil for added glow.
2. Use a Primer
Primer makes a real difference to how long makeup lasts and how evenly it sits. Choose one that suits your concern, whether that is pore-blurring, hydrating or color-correcting.
I recommend Smooth Affair Brightening Face Primer to create an even base that holds makeup in place.
3. Invest in Quality Brushes
Good brushes change how makeup looks. Build a small set covering blending, contouring and eyeshadow rather than buying a large kit you will not use.
A great staple is the Multiuse Blending Brush, which handles blush, bronzer and general blending.
4. Blend, Blend, Blend
The key to a seamless look is blending. Foundation, eyeshadow, blush: take the time on all of them.
Use the Multiuse Blending Brush or the Handi Brush for effortless blending.
5. Highlight Your Features
Use a highlighter to accentuate your cheekbones, brow bone and cupid’s bow. A touch adds a luminous glow to the whole look.
Try the Glow Time Highlighter Stick for an easy, refined glow.
6. Define Your Brows
Well-groomed brows frame the face and lift the whole look. Fill in sparse areas with a brow pencil or powder for a polished finish.
The PureBrow Precision Pencil is an easy way to shape and define. If the shape itself needs work, that is a job for a professional brow appointment.
7. Play with Colors
Don’t be afraid to experiment with colors and textures. A bold lipstick or a vibrant eyeshadow adds a creative element to an otherwise simple face.
A few favorites to try:
8. Set Your Makeup
Once you are done, set it with a setting spray or translucent powder so it lasts and stays fresh.
I love the refreshing Pommisst Hydration Spray for a natural, long-wearing finish.
9. Practice Makes Perfect
Like any skill, makeup takes practice. Experiment with techniques and products until you find what works for you.
10. Confidence is Key
Above all, confidence is the best accessory. And makeup always sits better on skin that has been looked after, so if your base never quite behaves, a facial or dermaplaning will do more for your finish than another foundation.
