One important concept to learn before reaching for that makeup brush is having the right makeup for your skin type; you’ll need to choose the right shades for your skin tone too.

Foundation

Begin your day with clean and moisturized skin. Use cleansers designed for your specific skin tone, and then apply a light moisturizer; let your moisturizer dry before applying cosmetics to your skin.
Moose or cream foundations are best applied and blended with your fingertips. You are also able to use makeup sponge applicator.

Liquid foundations are also easily blended with fingers, but a stippling foundation makeup brush is a great alternative. Pour a little foundation onto the back of your hand between your thumb and pointer finger.and then apply small dots of foundation on your jaw line, cheeks, nose, forehead and neck; continue blending until your face is covered with no harsh lines. If you are using a stippling brush, then you still pour a small amount of foundation onto the back of your hand.

Mineral foundations are a lot easier to apply, and work for all skin types. You can apply mineral powder foundation by collecting the powder onto a makeup brush; then simply apply the powder in circular motions on your face and neck.

 Concealer

You can choose to use concealer before or after foundation. If you want to hide skin imperfections like age spots, freckles, dark circles or pimples Concealer should be one shade lighter or exactly the shade of your skin tone.

Eye Makeup

Apply eyeliner on the upper lash line to ground your lashes and make them look fuller. The last step involves mascara; apply mascara with a back and fourth motion to separate the lashes and avoid clumps.

This step is what makes or breaks a makeup look, and it will also take the longest to perfect. Begin with eye shadow primer to make the shadow last all day, and then use eye shadow; you can use one color, or you can use more to create a smokey eye look. Moving along, eyeliner comes in a variety of colors, and the most frequently used eyeliner is black.

  Blush

Blush is applied to the apples of your cheeks. Blush will often darken with the temperature of the body, so be sure to use this cosmetic sparingly. Swipe a makeup brush over your blush once to pick up the color, and then smile. Apply the blush to the apples of your cheeks or slightly below, and move the brush towards your hairline and temples.
