To achieve that flawless makeup glam, we women need a consistent, customised beauty routine that starts from holy grail skincare routine and ends with glam that enhances our facial features. We believe your everyday beauty routine should make you feel effortlessly gorgeous whether you are dolling up for university, work or even brunch date. In this blog, we have curated a whole beauty routine to help you glow and radiate confidence from within.
STEP 1: CLEANSE
Cleansing and freshening up the face is important and is supposed to be the first and foremost step as it helps remove dirt, oil, sweat and any residue. Always choose a cleanser according to your skin type, if you have dry or sensitive skin then go for a gentle, hydrating cleanser and a foaming or gel one if you have acne prone and oily skin. Just make sure to use one which refreshes your skin to the core without stripping its natural moisture. We absolutely love Anti-dust Facial Cleanser as it suits all skin types and leaves your skin feeling soft, smooth, and refreshed.
STEP 2: TONER
Use a Toner to prep up skin, balance Ph level and tighten pores. Make sure to use alcohol free toners with hydrating and soothing ingredients, they deeply cleanses the skin and regulates oil production. Put toner on a cotton pad or ball and pat it gently onto skin after cleansing.
STEP 3: SERUM
A Serum penetrates deeply and heals skin concerns closely while hydrating and brightening the skin. Apply a few drops of your Vitamin C Serum on your cheeks and dab it lightly. Always opt for Face serums according to your skin’s needs and let it absorb first and then move onto the next step.
STEP 4: MOISTURIZE
A moisturizer is a non-negotiable step, it doesn’t matter what skin type and texture you have. Do apply it even when you are not doing makeup for the day as they help in protecting your skin barrier, providing hydration and prepping skin. Dermatologists advise you to select moisturizer according to your skin type.
STEP 5: SUNSCREEN
Sunscreen should be your ultimate best friend and most important product in your routine, no matter the weather, be it summer, winter or even cloudy days and it should at least have 30 SPF. We recommend using the 3 finger rule while applying sunscreen to protect your skin from harmful UV rays and pigmentation.
STEP 6: PRIME
After prepping the skin, now comes the first step of makeup i.e. Primer. It helps create smooth canvas for makeup, blurs pores and smooths out skin texture. You can choose a mattifying primer to control oil and a hydrating primer if you have dry patches. Gently dab the primer on your face and wait for 3-5 minutes to let it settle.
STEP 7: CONCEAL
A concealer covers dark circles, blemishes, hyperpigmentation and redness.
We adore Conceal & Reveal Concealer as it performs luxury at affordable price, it offers natural matte finish and also has shades like green and orange corrector to meet needs of different imperfections.
STEP 8: FOUNDATION
After concealing, the next step is to do a flawless base with BB cream or foundation to help enhance facial features. Make sure to choose foundations or BB cream that have a lightweight formula that offers best full on coverage like 7 in 1 total repair foundation as you need it for everyday wear. After doing the base, set it with a loose powder so that it doesn’t budge and give a cakey vibe.
STEP 9: BLUSHER
Add some soft flush to your cheeks to instantly brighten and add that natural glow to the face. If you want a beautiful dewy look then without any second thought, use matte liquid blush.
STEP 10: EYES
Apply eyeliner and mascara for definition and let your eyes do the talking and if you want extra drama and a bold look then you can add a wing and apply neutral shade from your eyeshadow palette.
STEP 11: LIPS
To complete your glam add a pop of color to the lips by applying a lipstick / lip gloss or a tinted lip balm. You can always use matching lip liner to get natural fuller looking lips.
STEP 12: MAKEUP FIXER
Seal all the makeup with a good hydrating makeup fixer like Ultra Setting Luxury Makeup Fixer for all natural skin like finish.
To conclude:
Keep your everyday routine simple and easy to follow as confidence is the best makeup you can wear.
