Hydrate Your Skin 

To hydrate your skin, first of all apply a thin layer of moisturiser to prep your skin for makeup. It is important to hydrate your skin in order to let the makeup look real and natural. 

Hide Your Dark Circles 

Once done, apply a light to medium coverage foundation or BB cream. Next, pat concealer under eyes to cover dark circles and other marks. It is suggested to choose a colour one to two shades lighter than your foundation to brighten up the under-eye area and cover up any discoloration and dark circles. In case you are looking for a luminous look, apply concealer to your forehead, the bridge of your nose and chin, and then blend. 

Fill Your Brows 

It’s time to work on your brows and for that, you need to fill them in with a brow product of your choice. According to experts, powders give a diffused, natural look while pencils are more precise. 

Apply Fresh-Looking Eyeliner

Then apply a single coat of mascara to the top and bottom lashes and be sure to wiggle your wand vertically to get every single lash.
