The Perfect Makeup Base

For your makeup to look good, you need to start with a perfect base. It is no good just slapping your make-up on and hoping for the best. Your makeup will just fail and by the end of the day. And you will look more like Ronald Macdonald than a sultry queen. It is easy to help your makeup to stay in place, especially if you follow the advice in this blog post. we want to show you how to get the perfect makeup base to start your daily makeup routine.

Moisturiser

It is always good to moisturise in the morning, I know that it is easy to think that you don’t need a moisturiser or an anti-ageing cream. But the earlier you start looking after your skin, the better it will be for you. if you wear a moisturiser that has an SPF in it, then it is so much better too. Do not use an oily one if your skin is oily, because this will end up with slipping makeup!

Primer

A primer will hide so many problems with your skin. You can hide your blemishes under a primer, you can also hide redness. Different primers do different jobs on your face, so it’s worth speaking to the cosmetics assistant in the shop. A primer will help to smooth your skin out, and helps to hide fine lines under your foundation. It also helps to keep your makeup in place for longer. You can even get an eyeshadow primer, that will help keep your eyes looking super all day long.

Foundation

This is probably the most important of your bases on your face. There are a few things to think about when you choose a foundation though. You will need to look at your face and choose the right shade that suits your skin. Choosing the right foundation is easier than you think. Make sure it blends in with your face and you are not left looking too light or too dark. You also need to choose a foundation to suit your skin, oily skin needs a matte foundation. Dry skin needs a more water-based foundation that is lighter to wear.

You might also want to choose a tinted moisturiser instead of a full foundation. A tinted moisturiser is often better often for a summer foundation as it is lighter, yet still adds colour to your face. They are great to help with colour correcting too.

When you apply it, apply it using your fingers, a foundation brush or a damp sponge. It is all down to preference really. Make sure you blend it in around the sides of your face and into your chin. You need it to look natural and not like you only have a colour on your face.

Concealer

Some people choose to put this over their foundation, whilst others choose to wear it under their foundation. It is great for covering blemishes as well as dark circles under the eyes. Make it as close to the skin colour as possible for it to blend in. Add a spot of lighter concealer in the corner of your eyes to open them up and to shadow your nose.

You can also get coloured concealers to help with your skin too. A yellow or orange concealer will help with purple or dark circles under your eyes. A green concealer is good for covering red patches on your face and helping it blend in.

A lot of women use a lighter concealer to brighten their face up and a darker concealer to help shape their face. You really can do a lot with a concealer in your make-up bag.

Powder

A powder is an excellent way to help mattify your skin because it takes away the shine. It also helps to set your foundation and help keep it in place. You can choose a loose powder or a compact solid powder. You can use a powder as a quick top-up when you go out for the day. But be careful that you don’t use too much, because it will settle in your fine lines and wrinkles.

Hopefully, with these tips, you will find your makeup stays longer on your face. You look as fresh in the evening as you did in the morning when you first went out.
