The school year is approaching, and with it, the dilemma of applying appropriate daily makeup . Creating a natural, fresh look without overdoing it enhances your features. By focusing on a few essential products such as concealer, mascara, blush, and lipstick, you can achieve a complete look that's quick and easy to replicate. Here's Oud Milano's guide to answering the question, "How do I apply light makeup myself?" Suitable for both college and everyday looks. Simple steps for a look that will give you confidence and highlight your facial features. Easy to apply and doesn't take long.
First: Prepare the skin before applying makeup
Before applying your makeup, it's essential to use skincare products to start with a clean, moisturized face. Use a cleanser suitable for your skin type to remove any impurities, then apply a lightweight facial moisturizer from Oud Milano to keep your skin hydrated. If you have oily skin, consider using an oil-free moisturizer, as this step will ensure your makeup stays put all day long.
Second: Apply concealer
Concealer is your best friend when it comes to covering dark circles. Choose a concealer that matches your skin tone or is just one shade lighter. Also, pay attention to the quality of the product. Oud Milano's new makeup collection includes a liquid concealer suitable for all skin types, even sensitive skin. Available in six different shades to suit all skin tones, it's easy to apply, long-lasting, and provides full coverage.
Apply small dots of concealer under your eyes, around your nose, and on any blemishes. Using your fingertips or a makeup sponge, gently blend the concealer into your skin, but be careful not to rub, as this can remove the product instead of blending it in and accentuate fine lines.
Third: Use mascara
Mascara is a quick way to make your eyes stand out without applying any other eye makeup . Start by curling your lashes in a circular motion with an eyelash curler, which will make your lashes appear longer and thicker.
Then, apply a layer of mascara to your upper lashes, starting from the base and moving the wand towards the tips. This technique helps separate the lashes, prevent clumping, and give a more attractive look.
If you prefer a more defined look, you can apply a second coat, but for a light, natural look, one coat is usually enough.
It's also important to use a high-quality mascara like the new Oud Milano Mascara, which features an innovative brush with dense bristles and a perfect formula that gives you a thick, long look and provides full coverage without clumping.
You can take an extra step to highlight the beauty of your eyes. Brush your eyebrows with a special brush and fill in the gaps with an eyebrow pencil in a color close to your hair color.
Fourth: Add a touch of freshness to your skin using blush.
Blush adds a healthy glow to your skin. Choose a blush shade that complements your skin tone. Generally, soft pink and peach shades work well with most skin tones. We recommend using Oud Milano's new blush, which comes in six rich shades that last all day with perfect coverage.
Using a blush brush, gently swipe the brush into the blush, tapping off any excess and smiling to define the apples of your cheeks. Apply blush to the apples of your cheeks and blend upwards. The key here is to build color gradually, so start with a small amount and add more if needed for a subtle, natural look.
Finishing touch with lipstick
Lipsticks are the perfect finishing touch to a minimal makeup look. Choose a color close to your natural lip color if you prefer a more minimal look, and always remember that a daytime college look calls for muted, practical colors.
That's why Oud Milano brings you a collection of semi-matte lipsticks in 9 different shades, bright and long-lasting, to add a touch of natural charm to your look.
With these simple steps, you can achieve a light makeup look that's perfect for everyday use, so you look effortlessly elegant and are ready to start a new day with a radiant look.
