Doing your own makeup can seem difficult when it is not yet part of your daily routine. But the good news is that even though it sounds complicated, putting on makeup is an activity anyone can learn, just practice hard, watch videos and tutorials, and be patient.
For those who do not usually do makeup, the tip is to start slowly, first learning how to correct the skin of the face, eliminating imperfections and then adding other techniques that will enhance your makeup, such as dark smoky eye, shadow duo makeup, outlined kitten in the eyes, among other styles of make.
Professional makeup artist Renata Chiulo advises: Whoever has never used makeup has to start with something light to the skin, such as BB cream that moisturizes, gives color and shine. In the eyes a good mascara is fundamental and lip moisturizer too.
If your goal is to enter this world of beauty and learn these techniques, at first you will need to invest financially in products and invest time in practicing what you have learned by reading tutorials and watching videos.
Learning anything in life demands this: practice, persistence and time. Therefore do not worry if at first it does not go as expected and you do not give up on the first difficulty.
Easy make-up for everyday life step by step
In a day-to-day make-up, the general rule is to prepare the skin well, highlight the eyes with mascara and the eyebrow with pencil, add a touch of color to the face with blush and highlight the lips with a neutral shade of lipstick, such as the burnt rose.
In the tutorial below you will see step by step how to do this makeup easily and simply and will also learn how to add extras like: eyeshadow and eyeliner? which are at your discretion to use or not to use, since even without it your makeup for the day will be adequate. The walkthrough is in the order of the products you will need:
1. SPF Moisturizer
Why? Moisturizing the skin is essential so that makeup does not get cracked. Remember that the moisturizer should match your skin type: oily? gel, dry? cream. And SPF (sunscreen) is vital to protect your skin from UV rays.
As? Apply a thin layer to the face using your fingers or a clean base brush. Wait for it to dry to go to the next step.
2. Base
Why? The base serves to even out the skin tone of the face and cover slight imperfections such as blemishes and small pimples. To cover deep dark circles and most striking imperfections, use concealer. Creamy, powder and stick bases are the easiest to apply, but the powder base has low coverage.
As? Using a base brush or fingers, spread the base on the face in a medium to thin layer. Do not overdo the application. Spend just enough to cover the whole face. And when choosing the foundation, test the color on your face to see if it's the right shade.
3. Blush
Why? The blush serves to gently blush your face, giving it depth and healthy appearance. It should be applied before the powder because it guarantees a more natural result.
As? If it is powdered, apply with brush, from apples to ears. If it is in cream or liquid, apply with your finger and make a gentle circular motion. The blush should blush the face gently, avoid overdoing the application.
4. Face Powder
Why? The powder is what finishes the skin in makeup. It will leave the face with a soft opacity and avoid greasy spots. Do not apply too much because the exaggeration can make the face very dry and the lines of expression end up marked, which ages even the youngest skins.
As? Use a very cute chubby brush to apply very little product all over your face. Avoid using small foams and brushes because they make application difficult and carry a lot of product.
5. Eyebrow Pencil
Why? To correct flaws and outline the eyebrow, which is the eye frame. However, it is important that it is not black pencil or 6B. The pencil should be soft, suitable for eyebrow and the tone should match your skin and hair. Do not use black pencil, even if your eyebrow is naturally black.
As? Before using the pencil, wipe the eyebrow with a cotton swab to remove base debris and dust. Then, with the pencil, start correcting the flaws and outline the drawing as you like.
6. Shadow
Why? The shadows are meant to play with the shapes and depth of your eye. They can either favor you or disadvantage you. This is why it is important to know the shape of your eye and value it with the correct use of shadows. When you start using shadows, start by using neutral shades like brown, caramel, and black.
As? If you are going to use only 1 shade, apply it to the movable eyelid and continue to smudge to the concave, making a soft and natural shade. If using 2 shadows, apply the lightest from the center of the eyelid to the inner corner of the eye and the darkest from the center to the outer corner, always smoky to create smooth gradients.
7. Eyeliner
Why? To finish the eye makeup with shadow. The outlined is the black stroke made near the eyelashes. For beginners, the ideal and easy eyeliner is gel, which should be applied with a thin beveled brush.
As? Begin by applying the eyeliner from the middle of the eyelid to the end and then trace the inner corner until you find the middle trace. It sounds difficult, but with practice it is possible to come up with a perfect stroke. Read here a tutorial that easily explains the application of eyeliner.
8. Eyelash Mask (Mascara)
Why? To open the look and highlight it. Mascara is used for thickening, curving and darkening the lashes.
As? Start by applying from the lash root to the ends. Wait 1 minute and apply another layer. For more volume, apply a third layer waiting 1 more minute between them.
9. Lipstick
Why? To make the lips a beautiful color and outline them the way you prefer.
As? If the lipstick is dark, first draw your mouth with a lip pencil the color of your lipstick and then fill your mouth with lipstick. If the lipstick is light, apply directly to the lips. Apply a clear gloss if you want to add more volume to your lips.

5 Common Makeup Mistakes And How To Avoid Them
It is completely normal that as we start doing something new, some slips escape. Here are some of the mistakes many women women make when applying makeup and check out how simple it is to prevent them from happening:
Base darker than skin: To avoid, try the base color on the skin of the face rather than the hand;
Lipstick on Teeth: avoid the problem by using matte (opaque) lipstick, as it is drier, it sticks less to the teeth;
Eyelashes with Mascara Polka Dots: To avoid, remove excess mascara from the applicator before ironing;
Blurred eyeshadow below eyes: avoid this slip by doing eye makeup first and then the skin and the rest of the face;
Excessive Blush: To leave the natural look, when you brush the product, blow it a little to drop the excess and apply with a gentle touch.
Regarding the mistakes we make when doing make up, Renata comments: “Exaggeration is common, and also not knowing how to identify what is best in your skin color and type of face. To avoid this, always use the rule that less is more and find out what looks best on each skin type.
Follow the tips, practice at home, discover your preferences and play into the world of makeup. Little by little you will realize what works and what does not work for your features and will appreciate every inch of your face using beauty products.
