Steps

  1. Before you start applying makeup, make sure to tie your hair. Use a decent hairband to keep hair from falling on your face.
  2. Take some of your BB cream and dab all over your face; including your cheeks, forehead and chin. Use a sponge to spread the cream on all areas. It should be even. So don’t scrub too hard.
  3. You should also contour the jaw line and hairline in order to make your face look smaller. Make sure to highlight the bridge of your nose in order to help it look a little larger.
  4. To straighten out your eyebrows, get hold of a scotch tape and try to make it less sticky by sticking it on your arm and then taking it off.
  5. Next, align it with both your eyebrows in order to make the shape look more natural. A spool should be used to blend it!
  6. Finally, use your small shader brush and use a dull shade to colour your eyes. A more natural and neutral colour would be perfect.
  7. Next, use the liquid liner and lash your lash line. Wing it out too. Create a curve on your outer eyelid and a few spots on your lower lashes.
  8. For your lips, use a lip balm as well as a concealer. Apply bright red lipstick and blend it outwards too.
  9. You may also use a lip colour that suits the colour of your lips.
