How to Up Your Makeup Game

Makeup trends change all the time, and recent trends say that the more natural look is the most attractive. However, we still use makeup to hide some imperfections and to enhance our natural beauty. 

If you are a makeup lover, there is always space for improvement and some new tricks to learn. We bring you some super useful tips to step up your makeup game. Check them out. 

Invest in Quality Makeup Brushes

Even though many makeup artists claim that the best results are achieved if you apply makeup with bare fingers, it is a fact that good brushes are irreplaceable. Investing in a set of high-quality brushes means having perfect tools for your makeup routine.

There is a brush for applying almost every makeup item – foundation, blush, powder, eye shadows, etc. And you can really tell that those cheap ones have nothing on those made of special, advanced materials. Those of better quality can really do magic. This is going to be a great investment. Also, make sure you wash them regularly. 

Always Use the Primer

A primer is something you should never skip during your makeup routine. It will smooth the surface of your skin, preparing it for make-up. It also stops it from being absorbed. Primer is a must for those who have large pores. Not only will it smooth them, making them look smaller, but it will also prevent the clogging of the pores. On top of that, it will keep your skin moisturized. 

A good primer that will fit your skin type perfectly is not easy to find. Maybe you will have to try a couple of them to find the best one for you. You can also use your favorite day cream as a primer if it mattifies your skin. 

Don’t Neglect Your Eyebrows

Eyebrows have become very important in the beauty industry and there are a lot of tips on how to make them look fuller and dense with makeup. If you have sparse eyebrows and spend a lot of time doing them in the morning, think about a more permanent solution. 

Microblading is a form of a semi-permanent eyebrow tattoo that looks natural and gives outstanding results because hair-like strokes are drawn and you can usually tell the difference between the natural and drawn strokes. Since it is like a tattoo on your face, it is important to choose a certified microblading artist, who has completed a reputable course such as microblading training in Miami

Your microblading artist needs to work in sterile conditions, to use high-quality products, such as those that can be found at PhiBrows Shop USA. So, do thorough research on your potential microblading artist and make sure they have good reviews and meet all the requirements. 

Learn How to Highlight Your Face

Different face shapes need to be contoured differently. You need to learn how to highlight your best features. For example, if your face is round, search how to highlight a round face and you will find numerous tutorials by beauty bloggers that can help you learn the technique.

Don’t expect to be great immediately, but you can practice whenever you have free time. This is also a chance for you to relax and have fun while learning something new. 

Perfectly Winged Eyeliner

If you are a fan of wearing eyeliner, you need to master how to perfectly wing it. If you want to avoid getting it smudged and uneven, use a post-it to help you. Place a post-it edge along the lower lash line and angle it up toward the tail end of your brow. Draw a wing above it. When it dries, remove the post-it. Next, draw along your upper lash line to meet the wing.

If you like to experiment with makeup, choose an eyeliner in different colors. Purple or yellow will look attractive, especially in the summer. 

Exfoliate & Contour Your Lips

Want soft and plump lips? You can get them with just makeup. Firstly, it is important to exfoliate your lips to keep them soft. Lipsticks and especially matte ones will dry them out during the day, so wear applies lip balm before bed.

Before you start doing your lips, use a toothbrush to brush them and then apply lip polish that you like, or you can make your own lip scrub. The most popular DIY lip scrubs are made of just a teaspoon of honey and some sugar. 

To make them look fuller, add a darker blush under and above your lips, and a highlighter in the middle of the lips. This way they will look plump and attractive. 

Conclusion

If you want the effect of your makeup to be seen, the most important thing is to keep your skin healthy. Therefore, don’t neglect your skincare routine. Also never go to bed without removing your makeup. With these tricks and regular practice, you will step up your makeup game.
