Introduction:
As a Makeup Artist and a Beauty Coach I often get asked what are the essentials for good makeup. For so many women, they either have either not learnt for their face or feel overwhelmed with all the information/trends/videos etc that are out there. I have always tried to simplify it and make it easy to understand. So I'm thrilled to share with you my five essential secrets to achieving flawless makeup looks that will make heads turn! Whether you're a makeup beginner or a seasoned pro, these tips will elevate your makeup game and have you looking and feeling like a true beauty guru. So, without further ado, let's dive into the secrets:
1. Prep & Prepare:
The foundation of any stunning makeup look begins with a well-prepared canvas. Before diving into makeup application, make sure to pamper your skin with a thorough skincare routine. Cleansing, moisturising, and priming your face will not only help your makeup go on smoothly but also ensure it lasts longer throughout the day. Think of it as creating a beautiful base for your artwork! Remember, each of us has one face, so it's essential to take good care of it to maintain its natural beauty.

2. Choose the Correct Foundation:
Finding the perfect foundation shade is a game-changer for your makeup. The best way to determine the right color for your skin tone is by trying it on your face, not your hand. Your hand's skin tone may differ from your facial complexion due to sun exposure. If you're unsure about your shade, head to reputable stores like Mecca, Sephora, or department store counters, where beauty consultants can assist you in finding the ideal match. Alternatively, you can also seek guidance from a Beauty Coach, such as myself, who can help you with personalised advice.
3. The Right Tools:
Just like a painter needs the right brushes to create a masterpiece, a makeup artist requires the proper tools for flawless application. Investing in a set of good-quality makeup brushes is a must! These brushes will enable you to achieve precise and even application, ensuring that your makeup looks as professional as possible. With the right tools in hand, you'll notice a significant difference in the finished look of your makeup.
4. Blend, Blend, Blend:
One of the most crucial steps in makeup application is blending. Whether it's your foundation, powder, eyeshadows, blush, or even lips, blending is the key to achieving a seamless and natural look. Harsh lines between colours or sections can make your makeup appear clownish or messy. To avoid this, blend with a gentle hand, and if needed, use clean brushes or sponges to create a polished finish. Remember, a well-blended makeup look is a sign of skill and artistry.
5. Have Fun!!
Last but certainly not least, makeup should be a fun and enjoyable experience! Embrace the fact that makeup is an artistic expression of yourself, allowing you to highlight your unique features and personality. Don't be afraid to experiment with different colors, techniques, and styles. Makeup is not a permanent tattoo; it can be washed off, changed, or corrected, so let go of any fears and have a go at creating various looks. Remember, confidence is the most beautiful
accessory you can wear!
