Before make up your face should be clean and smooth. Follow my skin routine for facial

• Apply sun screen

Find a sunscreen that offer maximum protection.Apply it on your face, neck and ears

• Apply a foundation primer

• Apply foundation

Slect the one which is closer to your skin tone

• Apply concealer

Apply it to any red or discolored area like under eyes and around nostrils.After applying blend it

• Apply face powder

Powder's particle provide some sun protection and will keep sunscreen and makeup in place 

• Highlight the bones

Highlight the brow bone, cheek bones

• Contour

To do so you will need a brown tone of powder, don't make it ultra brown, but a milk-chocolatey kind of color. Apply a it on the brush and apply it under your cheek bones, starting from the temple and going down until underneath the apple of your cheek.

• Blend all

Take a fluffy powder brush and blend everything together, so that there are no visible lines or excess powders.

Eye Makeup

• Eye Liner

Line it with a brown or soft black liner. For a more appealing look, apply liner with very light strokes to the upper lid, stroking toward the outer corner of the eye. To blend, use an angle brush. For a more natural look, dip the angle brush in some of your darker eye shadow. Use a very light amount, or use the applicator tip. For the bottom lid, use a very light amount on the outer corner.

• Eye Shadow

Most eye colors come with two or three colors on the palette. The lighter color is for the lid. The darker color is for the crease on the lid, just below the eye bone. Apply the lighter tone first to the lid, spreading upwards to near the crease. For this, use the applicator that came inside the package. For the darker color, using your eyeshadow brush, dip into eye color and tap the brush to lose the excess. Apply inside the crease of the eye. You can find the crease by looking straight ahead. Your eye makes its own crease.

 Blend the color toward the outer corner of your eye. Sometimes you can blend it around to the bottom lid, but very lightly. The lightest color is for under the brow bone. Use the applicator to apply right on the brow bone just under the brow line. Make sure to use the larger eyeshadow brush to blend all the colors.

• EyeBrow Pencil

 If you do apply eyebrow pencil to any part of your eyebrow, use the angled brush to blend it into your brow with very light strokes.

• Apply Mascara

 There are several mascaras to choose from depending on the look you want. If you have short lashes, use a mascara that will add length; if you have thin lashes, use a volumizing mascara. Never pump your mascara brush in and out of the mascara. This causes air pockets. 

Dip the brush in the mascara once and lightly wipe off the excess onto a paper towel. Looking downward, apply to the top lash with upward strokes. Start with the inner part and work your way outward. Do both eyes with two coats, then let dry. After a few seconds, do the bottom lids. It's better to apply to the very outer part of the lash on the bottom lid. This will open your eye more. An inexpensive way to curl your eye lashes is to take the brush from an older mascara, and use it, after you've washed most of the mascara off.

Apply Lipstick

• Apply lip balm

This will help make all lip products applied last longer and much more vibrant

• Apply lip liner

Line around the natural line of your lips

• Apply lipstick or gloss

 It's a good idea to brush your lip brush in your lipstick, then some of your lip gloss for a nice light shine. Blot your freshly painted lips lightly with a tissue. This will make it last longer
