A wedding guest trick that always works

Before you start, you should provide your skin with a suitable foundation in the form of a tinted moisturizer with sun protection factor. Important: leave the cream to act for a few minutes so that the nourishing layer adheres to the skin of the face like a tampon.

Step 1: Concealer

Ideally, you’ve already created an even complexion with your tinted moisturizer. A lightly covering concealer now takes on the finishing touches. Let’s start with the eyes: bright points (mèches) with concealer in the corner of the eye, in the center of the eyelid or directly under the eyebrow make the eyes appear more open and give a fresher look. Also apply a small amount of product along the nasolabial fold and on small redness or imperfections. The best way to apply concealer to the skin is with a brush or finger and, as always, leave it on briefly. Make sure you go half a shade lighter than your skin tone – this not only covers all the shadows but also really sets your face apart.

2nd step: eyebrow pencil

A kajal pencil the color of your brows is ideal for filling in the small spaces between your brows. Do not apply the pen too firmly and if necessary blend it with your finger, this makes the result softer. But that’s not all, because the pencil can also be used as a kajal on the upper lash line. For a natural result, you can blend the line up to the outer corner of the eye with a cotton ball.

Step 3 – mascara

What would eye makeup be without mascara? That’s right, only half as cute. For a more natural result you can use brown mascara, for a more accentuated look you can use a black variant. To perfectly separate the hairs, place the brush on the upper lash line and pull it towards the tip with quick zigzag movements. If you want, you can also apply mascara to your lower lashes. But be careful: if you apply too often, you risk that the eye is optically pulled down.

4th step: bronzer and eyeshadow

A bronzer is a must for a fresh, sun-kissed look. It is best to use it in powder form, as it is easier to apply and ultimately gives a natural result. Here’s how it works: It’s best to use a large, angled brush. Use the brush to apply the bronzing powder to your cheekbones, preferably in small circular motions so there are no sharp edges. Then give a dab of bronzer to the bridge of the nose, sides of the forehead and chin. Soften the transitions with a foundation brush or sponge. But that’s not all, because the bronzer can easily be used as an eyeshadow. The only requirement: in order for your eyes to shine fresh and beautiful, the shade of the bronzer should be more in the direction of beige or gold, rather than reddish. Apply the bronzer to the mobile eyelid with a slightly soft brush and blend upwards.

Step 5: Lipstick and blush

Yes, you read that right: in the final stage, you not only accentuate your lips, but your cheeks as well, with just one product. The focus here is on a lipstick in pink, hot pink, or coral. After applying it on the lips, you can apply two or three dots sparingly on the cheekbones and work it well with a sponge. With this you create a luminous look that lasts a minute at most.

Be sure to check the beauty bag beforehand

In order not to encounter nasty surprises on the big day of the celebration, you should definitely go through your makeup first and arrange it according to the following criteria. Does your makeup color still match your skin tone? Do you tolerate all your makeup products? Do all your products have an expiration date? For your orientation: Dry pressed products and loose powders do not provide breeding grounds for bacteria. Therefore, you can use these cosmetics for up to two years without hesitation. The situation is different with mascara: a mascara usually lasts only three months. The reason: With each application, air is pumped into the container. As a result, the ink dries up and becomes unusable.
