Ready to take your makeup skills up a notch? 14 Important makeup tips that will elevate your routine!
- CLEAN
& HYDRATED SKIN
Before you even think about makeup, make sure your skin is prepped. Cleanse and hydrate your skin for that fresh, radiant base. When your skin feels healthy, your makeup will go on smoother and last longer.
- NEVER
SKIP PRIMER
Once your skincare is done, it’s time for primer. A good primer creates a smooth, even base for your makeup and helps it last all day. We recommend the L’Oréal Paris Infallible Pro-Matte Lock Makeup Primer for a flawless start.
- USE
ADHESIVE TAPE FOR WINGED LINER.
If you struggle with perfecting winged eyeliner, adhesive tape is your best
friend. Simply place a small piece diagonally at the outer corner of your eye,
apply eyeliner, and remove the tape for a sharp, clean wing.
- APPLY
EYE MAKEUP FIRST
No one wants to redo their foundation after eyeshadow fallout. To avoid that, apply your eye makeup before foundation. This way, any pigment that falls under your eyes won’t mess up your base. - USE
A FAN BRUSH FOR HIGHLIGHTER
We love a good highlight, but you don’t want to go overboard. For a subtle, glowing finish, use a fan brush to apply your highlighter. It’ll help you control the amount and keep the glow natural. - LAYER
CREAM HIGHLIGHTER UNDER POWDER
Want a little more glow? Layer a cream or liquid highlighter under your powder one. This will add a stunning, radiant base without going over the top. Try the L’Oréal Paris True Match Lumi Glow Illuminator for a soft shine. - PRIME
YOUR LASHES
Mascara primer is often overlooked, but it’s essential! A coat of lash primer before applying mascara will give you voluminous, flawless lashes that last all day. - SCRUB
YOUR LIPS
For the perfect pout, exfoliate your lips before applying any lip color. A lip scrub helps remove dead skin, ensuring a smooth and even application. Try the L’Oréal Paris Pure-Sugar scrubs, which double as face and lip scrubs! - DEFINE
YOUR CUPID'S BOW
Enhance your lips by defining your cupid's bow with a lip liner. Draw an ‘X’ on your cupid’s bow, then outline your lips just outside your natural lip line. This creates fuller, more defined lips. - SET
YOUR LIP COLOR
No one wants their lip color feathering. To lock it in place, blot your lips with a tissue, apply another coat, blot again, and finish with a light dusting of translucent powder. Your lip color will stay put all day. - FIND
THE PERFECT FOUNDATION MATCH
The right foundation is essential for a flawless look. Choose one that matches your skin tone and suits your skin type. If you have dry skin, opt for the L’Oréal Paris Infallible Pro-Glow Foundation. For the best application, use a makeup sponge for a flawless finish. - USE
CONCEALER TO BRIGHTEN AND COVER
Concealer is your secret weapon! It can cover blemishes, brighten your under-eye area, and even out your complexion. The L’Oréal Paris True Match Super-Blendable Multi-Use Concealer is perfect for all your concealing needs. - ENHANCE
YOUR FEATURES WITH BRONZER, BLUSH, AND HIGHLIGHTER
To truly enhance your features, use bronzer, blush, and highlighter to define and shape your face. These three products work together to give you a balanced and flattering look. Try the L’Oréal Paris True Match Lumi collection for the perfect glow. - FINISH
WITH SETTING SPRAY
To ensure your makeup stays flawless, finish with a setting spray. Spritz the L’Oréal Paris Infallible Pro-Spray and Set Make-Up Oil-Free Setting Spray in an ‘X’ and ‘T’ motion to lock everything in place.
And that’s how you create a flawless makeup look!
