Getting the base makeup right is the key to achieving a flawless finish that resists melting and smudging! And with just three products – primer, foundation, and setting powder – you can ‘ace the base’ every single time. Read on as we share how to create the perfect base for any makeup look!
3-step Guide To Creating A Flawless Base Makeup
You don’t need to overcomplicate your makeup rituals or use a plethora of products to achieve that smooth, lasting base. Here we have elaborated on how to achieve the perfect base and professional finish.
Step 1: Prep with Primer
Makeup sits well on a fully prepped, nourished skin. Hence, it is essential to follow a healthy skincare routine. Start with cleansing and moisturizing your skin, and then move on to an essential yet often overlooked step of the makeup routine – primer makeup. This ultimate prep step is a complete game-changer. Primer helps blur pores, provide a smooth surface for your foundation, and keep your makeup looking fresh.
Pore blurring, matte, or dewy, there are various types of primer that you can pick based on your skin type and need. Just choose the one best suited for you and bid adieu to texture and say hello to the perfect application!
- Take a small amount of the primer, apply it with your fingertips, and blend evenly all over your face. Let the product settle before applying the foundation.
Step 2: Apply Foundation for Coverage
Foundation is a makeup staple that rules everyone’s vanity and is certainly a crowd favourite. Foundation offers a uniform complexion, covers discoloration, and blemishes, sets the base for applying other makeup products, and gives you a polished appearance. From natural, medium to high coverage, there are different types of foundation to choose from. Pick a foundation as per your skin tone and undertone and you’re good to go.
- Pour foundation at the back of your hand, dot the product all over your face, and blend it using your fingertips, beauty blender or foundation brush for a flawless finish.
Step 3: Set it with Powder
Lastly, set your base makeup look with powder. This must-have product is essential to set your foundation makeup, control shine, and absorb excess oil. What’s more! Face powder helps smoothen skin texture and deliver a mattifying finish.
- Swirl the applicator into the powder, tap the excess product, and gently sweep or dab it into your face. Focus on the T-zone (forehead and nose) of your face and areas that need extra coverage.
We hope this guide on how to create your base makeup will help you set the stage for face makeup. Healthy skincare practices, the right makeup products, and techniques are the secret behind a flawless natural finish. And now that you have perfected base makeup techniques, are ready to take on the day (or evening) with confidence. Choose makeup as per your skin type, tone, and undertone, and shine bright! A perfect face is just a few simple steps away!
