The beauty world can be overwhelming, but with some help from celebrity makeup artists, you can simplify your routine and get some seriously gorgeous results. A-list stars use these experts, and they know the tricks that can change your makeup game. Below are some of the most useful beauty tips that will make your life easier and make you look even more beautiful.
1. Start with Skincare
It all starts with a good skincare routine. Celebrity makeup artist, Ashlee Glazer, also says that it is all about prepping your skin first before putting on the makeup. Cleansing, exfoliating and moisturising your skin allows you to create a smooth canvas. If you will, experiment with a hydrating serum or primer designed for your skin type, for an extra boost! Besides improving the life of your makeup, this improves your skin’s appearance and health.
2. Use Ice Cubes for De-Puffing
An ice cube is the first thing you should grab if you wake up with puffy eyes. To reduce swelling and boost circulation instantly, Ashlee suggests rubbing an ice cube over your under eye area. This simple trick is not only refreshing for your appearance but also for waking you up, it’s ideal for waking up early or staying up late.
3. Perfect Your Eyebrows First
Ashlee says doing your eyebrows before foundation or other makeup can really make a difference with the overall look. Shaping and filling in your brows first will give you a framework for your face to guide the rest of your makeup application. This way your brows stay clean and defined all day.
4. Embrace Concealer
According to Ashlee Glazer, concealer is often called a “magic stretchable tool.” It’s not just to cover blemishes or dark circles, but to also use it to highlight and define areas on your face. For example, a dab of concealer under the brow arch will make your brows look lifted, and a dab on the inner corners of your eyes will brighten your face. Concealer application can be a real game changer in your makeup routine.
5. Long-Lasting Lipstick
Prepping your lips with a hydrating lip balm will give you a long lasting lip color. Then blot away excess balm before applying lipstick once the color has set while you finish the rest of your makeup. Apply with a lip brush for more precision and layer color in thin layers, too much at once will look heavy. To add longevity, Ashlee suggests blotting with tissue after the first layer and applying another thin layer on top.
6. Add Dimension with Highlighter
If you want that coveted glow without heavy contouring, apply liquid highlighter to the high points of your face (cheekbones, bridge of the nose, under the arch of the brow) to achieve a gorgeous, lit from within look. Instead, opt for a more natural looking glow that adds dimension without looking overdone, Ashlee advises, and avoid shimmer. This technique makes for great radiance and finishing quality.
7. Set Your Makeup
Once you’re done with your makeup, remember to set it with a good setting spray. Ashlee recommends using it between layers of makeup application to lock in each step and keep it going all day long. A great technique for this is long events or situations where you want to start the day with a fresh look and stay that way throughout the night.
