TEN-STEP GUIDE TO PERFECT MAKEUP

Makeup is simple. When you know how to apply it and have an organized makeup drawer, it should take only five to ten minutes. Practice is the key.

A basic, simple look requires ten steps. Make sure you apply makeup in the correct sequence.

Pre-Makeup

Moisturizer is the key to fresh-looking skin. It creates the perfect base for makeup. For normal skin, use a lightweight moisturizing lotion. For dry skin, use a rich
hydrating cream or balm. For oily skin, use an oil-free formula that hydrates and helps control oil production.

Always begin with a lightweight eye cream to ensure that under-eye concealer goes on smoothly and evenly.

When skin looks dull, use an exfoliant to help slough off dead skin cells.
