As a beginner, to achieve that everyday look independently, thereby saving time, energy and securing your pockets as well, below are 13 easy steps to achieve this goal.
1. Invest in good and quality makeup brushes. These brushes maybe expensive to purchase but they will help you achieve that makeup look and enhance the applied product to perfection.
2. For the application proper, first and foremost it is important your face is fresh and clean. Before you start with the makeup, wash your face, use a toner and possibly moisturizer.
3. Use a facial primer. If you want your makeup bolder and more, last longer as well as smoother when applied, it is advisable you start with a primer first.
4. Don't settle for the wrong shade of foundation. Investing and applying the wrong foundation shade will make your face look uneven, making your face look excessively different from your shoulder. Trust me this is not a pleasant look. Make it a duty to find the right foundation for your skin tone so that it can blend properly.
Apply with your fingers if you want a transparent coverage and brush for full coverage.
5. Be sure to apply foundation before concealer as foundation covers lots of problems. It enables you notice areas that need concealer. Also concealer will be cleaned off if applied before the foundation.
When going for a concealer, go for that which is a shade or two lighter than your skin tone so as to avoid that concealed area standing out and looking different from other parts of your face.
6. Set foundation with appropriate powder. Apply an appropriate foundation is best if you simply compliment it with the right powder. This will help set the foundation, weatherproofing your look and making it easier to proceed with contouring or blusher.
When applying your powder, apply where you're shiniest first usually your T -zone. Your T-zone starts from your forehead down your nose before brushing lightly everywhere else.
7. Do learn the best shade of blush for your skin tone. Blush is used to highlight that part of your face where you blush the most especially on your cheek, therefore, it is best to apply the most suitable shade of for your skin tone.
Don't smile as you apply blush to your cheek as it destroys your intentions when you stop smiling, you discover that the blush ends up being closer to your mouth than intended.
Note: Make sure you blend properly in a circular motion to achieve the perfect look for your cheeks.
8. Don't use concealer or foundation as base for your eye-shadow it will cause your eye makeup to crease because it is too oily and will easily make the makeup slide over. Instead use an eye-shadow primer for long lasting shadow look.
9. Use one shade lighter or darker than your natural lip colour to achieve the perfect nude lip. Also bold up colours are more suitable for people with fuller lips than those with thinner lips. Do apply concealer on the outer parts of the lips for a more pouty sexy lips as it gives the lips a more definition and a lift.
10. Apply your mascara from the root of your lashes and zigzag the wand your way up.
Also for the brows try as much as possible to make your brows look natural and groomed. For a bolder brows you can use your eye pencils that's most suitable with your skin tone, or brow filler before you define and blend with the concealer.
11. It is advisable to use a magnifying mirror. Magnifying mirror shows your look in every detail and let's you know where you've made a mistake so that you can correct it.
12. Clean your brushes after use because as your brushes come in contact with your face, and then you put them back in makeup bags or storage, they become breeding grounds for bacteria. Using brushes that haven't been cleaned in a long while can lead to rashes on the face. It is preferable to clean makeup tools at least once a week. I recommend you use warm water and shampoo to soak then rinse off.
13. Wash off makeup before you sleep. Cosmetics contains chemicals that irritates the skin if left too long. Washing off makeup before going to bed is important and healthy for the face as it prevents breakouts or rashes and eventually lead to wrinkles and premature ageing.
When washing off quit using soap to wash off your face. This is a major no no for your face as it strips the skin from essential oil it needs and makes it overproduce oil which can cause more spots instead use face cleanser, wipes with warm water.
You should play with makeup everyday. Experiment and change looks everyday. Makeup helps you achieve that.
I am not so music as a makeup artist but I hope this helps.
