Looking for some basic makeup advice? Well, you’ve come to the right place! When applying makeup, there are some simple steps that almost everyone should follow. They are easy, relaxing, and end with you looking your best!

Basic makeup advice:

1.Clean your skin with a gentle, alcohol-free cleanser. This will help remove any dirt, build-up or environmental residues you might have on the surface of your skin.

2.Tone! A nice, light toner helps to reduce any excess oil you have on your face.

3.Moisturize. Use a cream that is made for the delicate skin of your face; it is lighter in texture and won’t drag your skin down by the end of the day. Any good beauty reviews you read will tell you to moisturize. Choose one with some sunscreen in it, too.

4.Apply some primer. Sephora makes the Tricks of the Trade Perfection Primer, which helps to brighten and give your skin a warm glow. Designed as a highlighter base, it has pink pearlescent micro-particles and soft-focus pigments that reflect the light for that warm glow you’re looking for. A primer is a good product to add to your beauty regimen, since it helps ensure makeup application and makes your makeup last longer!

5.If you’re using a foundation, go ahead and apply this next. Blush follows, then eye shadow, liner, mascara, and lips.

Whether you’re going all-out and applying makeup to your whole face for a night out on the town or are toning it down for the office or a trip to the zoo, following this basic makeup advice will help your makeup last longer and keep your face fresh all day long.
