Tips to cover up flaws on your face!

Hello readers!!

I'm super excited to share with you ''My Pretty Little Secrets" about 'hair' and 'make up'! It's easy, reasonable and quick for every occasion. We shall start with make-up. The basic step is the base of any make-up - covering up those nasty flaws! 

All you need -

1. Foundation of your skin tone- any type, any brand.
2. Concealer / Foundation of a light skin tone.
3. Loose face powder.
4. Moisturizer.
5. Skin toner.

You must be thinking why I prefer foundation of a light skin tone instead of concealer. The fact is, concealers have a lot of oil base which does not suit sensitive and oily skin.  Hence, foundation which can work as a perfect alternative. I would suggest pan cake foundations for dry skin, and liquid foundation for sensitive to oily skin. Follow the steps to get that flawless look! ;)

Step 1
Wipe your face with skin toner on cotton. Skin toner is essential to shrink the appearance of pores on your face which block dirt or anything from entering your skin. Let it dry. Apply mild face moisturizer evenly.

Step 2 
The main part. If you are using a concealer make sure its the right tone. It can be of your skin tone or a shade lighter. Apply the light tone foundation/concealer on the dark spots, pimples or dark circles. Always remember to dab on the area and not spread it. This helps for the concealer to stay on the area for long. Wait for it to dry.


After applying concealer/light tone foundation. Observe that it gives a very oily effect.

Step 3
Dab loose powder on these flawed areas and remove the excess powder with a rouge brush. This seal your concealer.


                           After applying loose powder. It also banishes the oily effect.

Step 4
Apply foundation evenly and gently on the face covering all the areas- the flaws, neck, face and ears. And Voila!!! You have a beautiful flawless skin! ;)  You can do the rest of the make-up thereafter. You can apply powder if you wish but i suggest not to if you are in a humid weather. But its a must if you are in a warm place. The sweat will ruin that look soon. 


                 There you go!! ;) Now you are ready to pour in colors to your canvas :P

Remember
Keep a tissue in hand to wipe sweat or dust off your face but dab it and NOT wipe. 

You guys need not worry about which brand of concealer to use. You can choose any brand according to your budget and favours.
