Step 1: Start with a Clean Face

Before you embark on your makeup journey, it's essential to start with a clean canvas. Wash your face with a mild cleanser to remove dirt, oil, and impurities. Gently pat your skin dry and follow up with a suitable moisturizer to hydrate and prep your skin for makeup application. This crucial first step ensures a smooth and even makeup base, allowing your products to glide on effortlessly.

Step 2: Prime Time

The secret to a long-lasting makeup look lies in the power of a primer. Apply a small amount of primer all over your face, paying attention to areas with enlarged pores or fine lines. A quality primer not only smoothens out your skin's texture but also helps your foundation adhere better, giving you a flawless finish that lasts throughout the day.

Finding the right foundation shade is pivotal for a natural-looking makeup appearance. Choose a foundation that matches your skin tone, and apply it evenly using a makeup brush, sponge, or your fingers. Blend it well, ensuring there are no harsh lines or demarcations. The foundation creates an even base, evens out your skin tone, and provides a canvas for the rest of your makeup.
