Step 4: Setting Powder
Setting powder helps set your foundation and concealer, keeping them in place and reducing shine.
- Choose a Setting Powder: For a natural finish, choose a translucent powder. For extra coverage, opt for a tinted setting powder.
- Application: Using a fluffy brush, lightly dust the setting powder over your face, focusing on areas that tend to get oily, such as the T-zone.
Step 5: Blush
Blush adds a healthy flush of color to your cheeks, making you look more awake and vibrant.
- Choose a Blush: Select a blush color that complements your skin tone. Pink and peach tones are versatile options.
- Application: Smile to find the apples of your cheeks. Using a blush brush, apply the blush to the apples of your cheeks and blend it towards your temples.
Step 6: Bronzer
Bronzer adds warmth to your complexion and can be used to contour and add dimension to your face.
- Choose a Bronzer: Pick a bronzer that is one to two shades darker than your skin tone.
- Application: Using a bronzer brush, apply the bronzer to the hollows of your cheeks, along your hairline, and under your jawline in a “3” shape on each side of your face. Blend well to avoid harsh lines.
Step 7: Highlighter
Highlighter gives your skin a radiant glow by accentuating the high points of your face.
- Choose a Highlighter: Opt for a shade that complements your skin tone. Champagne and gold tones are universally flattering.
- Application: Using a fan brush or your fingers, apply the highlighter to the tops of your cheekbones, the bridge of your nose, the cupid’s bow, and the brow bone.
