The Basics

Every look should begin with the basics. No matter what makeup look you're doing, you should always start your face off with these steps:

1. Clean Face- Always start off with a clean, fresh palette. You should wash your face morning and night to get rid of any dirt or unwanted oils.
2. Apply a moisturizer evenly to your face.
• Pump a dab or two onto your fingers and rub your fingers together for a second. Then smooth the moisturizer onto your face.
3. Dab a green stick concealer on red areas.
• Use finger to smooth out the green so it blends slightly and is smooth to prevent foundation from clumping. You don't want to rub off the green, so just dab it slightly with your finger .
4. Put a dot of skin colored corrector over any problem areas. (Pimples, redness, under eye circles, etc.)
• Dab with finger until blended and smoothed out.
5. Apply liquid foundation with sponge over entire face.
• For additional coverage, dab your sponge on the areas to which you applied the green stick and corrector.
6. After you have done the rest of your makeup (eyeliner, lipstick, etc.) apply a layer of powder foundation over your entire face to set your liquid foundation, to smooth out uneven areas and provide extra coverage.
