Yes. You read it right! Makeup isn't just for women. Sometimes, we, men do need makeup too. It is a must most especially if you're attending an event that requires you too look good and flawless. Performers such as showbiz artists even apply makeup, and it doesn't mean that you are gay if you do so. So you better stop that notion. Haha.
As a Hair and Makeup Expert, let me share to you guys my secret in putting on makeup in 5 simple ways! This is also applicable to girls out there. :)
1. Warm up your skin with oil-free moisturizer. This is really the basic in putting on makeup. If you're fresh from taking a bath, your face is naturally tight because of the soap. So you need to loosen it up so that it is easy for you to put on makeup. Plus, it prevents your skin from being dry and exfoliating. Apply it evenly on the face and neck. Let me share you a tip: if you don't have a moisturizer, you may use non-greasy lotion. It can be a replacement. Trust me.
2. Use BB Cream instead of foundation. BB Cream is EVERYTHING. By putting on BB cream, you can skip concealer, sunblock cream, etc. BB creams are makeups that actually make your skin better.Mine, I am using Maybelline New York's Clear Smooth BB cream. It instantly conceals dark spots and blemishes and even out skin tone, while smoothing, hydrating, brightening (seriously, the brightening factor is effective!), and protecting your skin with SPF 50! You just have to choose a BB cream that is in a shade warmer than your skin. It will make you look healthy in a natural way because it's so sheer. (Apply on the face and neck.)
3. Put on oil-free loose powder. I recommend Lewis and Pearl's White Blush Face Powder. It has an oil control formula and is hypoallergenic especially for sensitive skin. It leaves your skin naturally radiant, smooth, and shine-free. (Apply on the face and neck)
4. Mist your finished makeup gently with water. Hold the can at least one foot away from your face and gently mist, then let it absorb. Yes. I guess many of you didn't know this. The water will help the texture of the skin to look instantly radiant. This also helps soften all the makeup so it really looks like your skin.
5. Use moisturizing lip balm. I didn't want something that looked like lipstick, so I'm using Watson's moisturizing lip balm in luscious grape. It's natural-looking when applied on your lips. Plus it hydrates and leaves your lips healthy.
So there you have it! You are now ready to go. Very easy, right? Have a fresh day everyone! :)
