01. Prep & Prime
It’s not a secret that proper preparation can lead to excellent outcomes. Therefore, even if you’re stressed and already an hour late to your party, taking care of your skin is essential. Begin by applying gentle cleansing, then a moisturiser, followed by the sun’s rays (daytime). When you’re done, apply an eye primer such as The Lakme Absolute Gel Primer. It creates the perfect backdrop for your makeup, as it covers imperfections and smoothes your skin.
02. Color correction
Correcting the colour of your skin plays a vital part in creating a uniform skin tone, and also conceals imperfections like dark circles pigmentation, acne scars and other imperfections you’d like to conceal. Of course you can avoid this step if doing your normal day makeup and not seeking a hefty coverage.
03. Foundation
Foundation is the basis for your make-up. Find a product which will enhance your skin. For instance, if you’re looking for a dewy appearance go for one of the Lakme Absolute Argan Oil Serum Foundation because it’s packed with argan oil to not only moisturize your skin, but provide it with a radiant dewy look. If you’re in search of matte coverage the 9To5 Lakme Primer and Matte Perfect Cover Foundation is the ideal choice. It will mattify your skin and give you an even coverage.
04. Concealer
There are a number of tips online in which they recommend applying concealer prior to foundation, but we wouldn’t suggest that. What’s the reason? Because applying concealer prior to foundation increases the likelihood of over-applying the concealing blemishes and dark circles which, ultimately, leave your makeup appearing cakey once the foundation is applied over it. Apply this Lakme 9to5 Primer and Matte Liquid Concealer to conceal any flaws or imperfections that show in the concealer.
05. Contour
Contouring is a way to shape the face by highlighting areas it’s applied to, resulting in a look like you’re straight from Keeping Up With Kardashians! A cream-based contour stick is suggested to do this as it blends effortlessly and makes it appear natural.
06. Compact/ loose powder
Once your foundation is in place and you’re ready make sure you seal it prior to taking the next step! Make use of the Lakme Absolute White Intense Dry and Wet Compact to smooth the skin and prevent your makeup from slipping. ( You may skip this step if wanting a more dewy finish).
07. Eyes
It’s moment to get started playing with your makeup! You’re ready to grab the eyeshadows and liner to create your masterpiece. If you’re looking to stick to classics, we suggest applying the famous pair consisting of Lakme Eyeconic Liquid Eyeliner and Lakme Eyeconic Insta Cool Kajal to create exciting looks that are guaranteed to last. They won’t fade or smudge!
08. Highlight, Blush, Bronze and Blush
It’s time to add the sun-kissed look. You can apply bronzers to achieve that perfect sun-kissed glow by rubbing it along both sides of your cheekbones, forehead jaw, and the areas around your nose. You can also apply a peachy blush like the Lakme Absolute Stylist Blush Duos Coral Blush. Apply it to the cheeks’ apples for a radiant look. In 2022, we’ll be without a purse, but we can’t leave without an eye-catching highlighter. Make sure to highlight your cheekbones, the tip of your forehead, your nose, browbones and your chin using lakme’s Absolute liquid highlighter .
09. Lips
The time is drawing near, and it’s the time to line your lips. Line your lips with your lip liner in closest to the shade of your lipstick. Our favorite is Lakme Perfect Definition Lipliner . It is available in eight vivid shades that provide an intense and powerful payoff. After that, apply your favorite lipstick and rub it over your lips. Then, apply a tiny amount of highlighter to the bow of your cupid’s to add a bit of oomph!
10. Setting spray
It is essential to arrange your makeup so that it stays in place and not melt away. Spray a setting spray on your face to keep your makeup in place and make you look fresh throughout the day.
