During and post covid (largely owing to night curfews etc) day parties and weddings have become a norm across the world. In Assam too, more and more parties are starting to happen during the day. Since Assam is a humid state we have to follow some special rules in terms of make-up in order to look fresh and youthful for the entire day.

How to prepare the skin for makeup:

Nude glossy make up is the current trend globally. But in order to achieve a perfect glossy look one must have good skin. Regular skin maintenance is a must to get a natural healthy skin.

Eating healthy food, drinking lots of healthy fluids, proper rest and skin hygiene are a must for this. When the skin is healthy it becomes easier to get the perfect result post make up.

Before starting the makeup clean the face with a good face wash without leaving any dirt or grease on the skin. After that use rose water ice cubes to reduce the pores of the skin. This also gives a healthy glow to the face. Dry the skin thereafter with a soft cotton cloth and apply a moisturizer that is specially made for pre-makeup use.

After that use a primer according to your skin type. Those who have oily skin with big pores can use a pore reducing primer. Others can use a normal primer of any good brand. A primer helps to create a barrier between the skin and the makeup products. It also results in long lasting make up. Now the skin is completely prepared for makeup application.

How to apply the makeup base:

This is a very important part which needs a little bit of expertise. Some areas like under eye, the skin around the lips and corner of the nose needs colour correction. We can choose an orange or yellow corrector according to skin tone. Those who have wheatish to dusky skin need to use yellow corrector. After applying a corrector, apply the makeup base according to your skin type (with a flat foundation brush) from the highlighted area of the face. The foundation must be well blended so that it becomes like your natural skin. A properly blended foundation also enhances the glow of the skin.

After this contour the cheekbone area, nose, forehead and the jawline properly. Once done, use a light compact matching with the colour of the foundation. Do not forget to apply foundation to the other exposed areas like neck, ears, chest, back etc. In order to get a glowing look you can use light shimmery translucent powder instead of compact.

Nude eye makeup:

To get the nude eye makeup look for parties, shape the eyebrows first with a brown gel or powder. Now apply some eye primer to the lid area and a light foundation base. Create a perfect crease area after this using two or three layers of brown eyeshadow. Finally, apply light shimmery nude colour to the lid and blend it well. You can apply a little bit of browns to the inner corner, outer corner and lower lash line. Now shape the eye with dark brown or black liner which accentuates the look. Separate the eyelashes with transparent mascara. You can apply false natural eyelashes which add glamour to the face.

How to get that perfect glow:

At this stage you need to apply some finishing touches. Apply some highlighter to the bridge and tip of the nose, lip bow, cheek bone, arch of the eyebrows and a little bit also on the forehead. I generally apply the blusher or a bronzer as a final touch. After that shape the lips with a lip liner and apply a light glossy lipstick. Finally apply a setting spray to the face which will keep the makeup fresh and intact.

How to remove make up properly:

One can use a good make up remover to remove makeup. But those who wear makeup on a daily basis can apply some coconut oil to cotton and wipe the makeup off. After removing every residue, wash the face with your regular face wash. Finally use a vitamin rich serum followed by a good moisturiser. This will help you to keep your skin beautiful even if you wear makeup every day.
