Makeup tips for beginners

📣Complete summary below📣

First of all, if you want to do your makeup well, it is important to find a makeup technique that suits you!! To do makeup well, it is crucial to know yourself first—what your skin tone is, what your skin type is, what your eye shape is, the eyebrow shape that suits you, and your nose. Only then can you discover the unique makeup style that suits you.

Washing your face is important before applying makeup. Make sure to wash your face before you start applying makeup!

Wash your face and apply toner first. Apply toner and cream, and then apply sunscreen. After that, the main makeup process begins.

First, since this is your first time using base makeup, please apply a foundation or cushion. It’s not that a bright shade is better; you need to find a tone that suits you. If it’s just too bright, your face will look like it’s floating.

It is important to apply the base thinly while controlling the amount. Apply it thinly, creating a look that fades out towards the outer edges.

You need to dab concealer over blemishes that aren't covered by base makeup to make your face look much cleaner. I apply it to the dark pigmentation around my mouth, nose, and sides of my cheeks, as well as to my dark circles, eyebrows, and around my eyebrows to make my face look neat and tidy.

Next is the eyebrows. Before drawing them, you need to find the shape that suits you and then trim them with an eyebrow razor.

Tips for finding the eyebrow shape that suits you

Long face - Straight eyebrows Round face - Angular eyebrows Angular face - Arched eyebrows Inverted triangle face - Round eyebrows Oval face usually suits almost everything well.

It is important to fill in your eyebrows by gently sweeping them on, focusing on filling in the gaps rather than trying to create new ones. After filling them in, lightly blend them with the brush at the back of the eyebrow pencil to create natural-looking eyebrows. Also, keep the front of your eyebrows light rather than dark to achieve a natural look.

Next, I apply nose contouring. I start by drawing my eyebrows, then using an eyebrow pencil to mark the connection between my nose and eyebrows, and blending it with my fingers first. For the contouring, I lightly sweep brown eyeshadow over the brown area shown in the photo below, shade the area between the nostrils at the tip of the nose in a heart shape, and then lightly shade the philtrum area to complete a beautiful nose✨

And for jaw shading, swipe from below the ears down to the jaw.

And finally, the much-anticipated eye makeup! Since I have monolids, I don't wear much eye makeup... Also, I don't recommend beginners start with heavy eye makeup, so for now, I'll just show you the simple routine I use.

As someone who places great importance on aegyo-sal (under-eye bags), I always make sure to draw them when I do my makeup. First, I gently draw with eyebrow pencil on the area where aegyo-sal forms when I squint and smile, then blend it out a bit with my fingers. After that, I lightly apply contouring. Then, I use an "aegyo-sal lighter"—a pen that brightens the area where you draw the aegyo-sal—and lightly draw it on that spot and blend it out a little. However, if aegyo-sal doesn't form when you smile, I recommend skipping the drawing.

After drawing on the aegyo sal, I apply the apricot-colored shading from the set to my eyelids. Then, I use eyebrow pencil to define the lower lash line in the triangle zone. I find it works better if I lightly draw the lower lash line with eyeliner and blend it out.

When applying eyeliner, draw a smooth line along your eye line from the inside out. However, since drawing eyeliner can be difficult at first, I recommend practicing a lot before you start your makeup to get the hang of it.

Lastly, I add highlights. It doesn't really make much difference whether I do it or not, but I think it makes me look brighter.

Apply highlighter to the under-eye area, philtrum, tip of the nose, and bridge of the nose.

However, when it comes to makeup, rather than just following what others do, you need to find a style that suits you and practice consistently. If you try it for the first time, you won't get a feel for how to apply it, and even if you do try, it often turns out strange.

Last makeup tip for beginners

• If you have a lot of flesh on your eyelids, do not apply anything to them. It will make the flesh look even more prominent.

Don't start off with too much intensity; just do your skin and eyebrows first, and then gradually expand as you find a makeup technique that suits you.

• Practice applying eyeliner a lot

• Get the hang of it by trying it out several times

Copying other people's makeup techniques won't make you just as pretty (in fact, it might make you look uglier). Find a makeup style that suits you.

Summary

1. Wash your face

2. Skin

3. Base (not a bright tone, but a tone that suits me). Apply thinly and work your way up.

4. Eyebrows (If you haven't groomed them, groom them first, find the right shape, and then proceed). Draw them by filling them in, rather than trying to create new ones. After you've finished drawing, gently blend them with the brush on the back of the eyebrow pencil.

5. Nose Shading: Lightly draw along the shape of the bridge in the center of the nose (refer to the picture), draw the connection between the eyebrow and the bridge (this makes the nose bridge look higher), fill in the lower part of the nose in a heart shape, and do a little bit of the philtrum as well.

6. Jawline Shading: From below the ears to the jawline

7. Aegyo-sal: Draw on the area where aegyo-sal forms when you smile (recommended not to draw if they don't appear). Brighten the drawn area with a highlighter pen.

8. Eyes: It looks pretty even if you just draw the triangle zone and eyeliner. Apply the eyeliner straight from the inner corner to the outer corner (I don't recommend lifting the tail).

9. Highlighter (Is it really necessary?) Philtrum, tip of nose, bridge of nose, under-eye bags
