Learn how to make a light and beautiful makeup

Makeup has become an art that is currently part of the daily lives of many girls and women. Techniques once mastered by beauty salon artists are now common knowledge and can be practiced and used by any woman who has patience and who likes to put on makeup.

For those who are new to this practice, learning some basic yet beautiful looks is the key to success. Once you have mastered the techniques in softer make-up, you can then try and dare with your ideas and your face.

And those who prefer more neutral looks will love this makeup option taught below. It focuses on a well-made skin, with contour and illumination to highlight the skin and with more discreet tones in the mouth and eyes, so it can be combined with any look without problems.

This makeup can be worn both day and night, depending only on your preference. Remember that during the day it is important to also apply a sunscreen before makeup. Check out the following walkthrough and practice the techniques taught:

Light makeup: step by step

Here's how to reproduce the makeup in the photo above, remembering that you can replace lipstick and eyeshadow with any other neutral colors you want:

1. First of all, remove any makeup residue using a makeup remover and then wash your face thoroughly;
2. Apply a foundation primer all over the face or at least in the T zone (forehead and nose);
3. Apply the foundation all over the face using the brush or fingers (including the lips) and finish by tapping lightly all over the face using a sponge;
4. Apply concealer on dark circles and around the mouth if deemed necessary;
5. And with a powder brush, apply translucent powder all over your face very gently so as not to weigh your makeup.

Once this is done, the next important step is to contour, apply blush and illuminator. The following video from blogger Camila Coelho shows how to apply all three products and gives important tips for getting it right:

With the skin ready and the contour done, just a few more steps to complete this look, check out:

1. With an eyebrow pencil, correct the flaws and draw the eyebrow as per your custom. If possible, use eyebrow gel to keep your hair neat and neat;
2. In the eyes, with a eyeshadow brush or fingers, apply an opaque or very light brown eyeshadow, gradually blurring. Apply to just above the concave;
3. To make your eyes more pronounced, smear a lead shadow over the brown, but without reaching the concave;
4. After applying eyeshadow, apply 3 layers of mascara, waiting to dry for 1 to 2 minutes between each application. Also apply a layer on the lower lashes (waterproof mascara);
5. Finally, apply an opaque or shimmering nude lipstick or a lipstick as your preference.

This look takes a long time to be ready, so patience is required. Although this makeup is easy to do, the steps take time to look good.

This makeup matches dark skin of all shades and also suits light-skinned women, as long as they use products that match their skin tone.

Extra trick: powerful mouth!

Here are 5 simple steps to achieving a Hollywood actress makeup:

1. Apply illuminator on the outer central part of the lips (outside the lips);
2. Outline the mouth with pencil inside the lips, or slightly outwards if you wish to enlarge it (being careful not to overdo it);
3. Apply the lipstick using a lipstick brush or with the stick itself;
4. With light strokes apply lipstick or sparkling eyeshadow on the central part of the lips (use a minimal amount of product, the intention is only to give a little shine);
5. Use a gloss to finish.

The result is an outlined, voluminous mouth with a beautiful shine as in the image below.

If even following all the tips and tricks does not look as expected, remember that each face shape looks different with the same makeup. And practice helps too. So do not despair. Be sure to share the tips and leave your opinion in the comments below.
