How to apply makeup naturally like a professional

Tip 1: you have to maintain a good skin: shouldn't being using the same products for all seasons.

 Using a finisher which acts like a primer to keep your skin hydrated and while also giving you a glow.

Tips 2 Adding dimension to your face to bring out natural features to your face using the thin and thick method.

You shouldn't apply a same layer of makeup all over your face because there are thick in thin skin.
Feel your vzone, areas jutting out are vzone- that is where the thick skin is and your need to apply a thicker layer of makeup. Your star zone, around nose, under the eyes, and above the lips are where thinner skin is located.

She uses a cushion type of foundation compact (aka bb cushion) and starts patting from the top of the V line down to the chin and then up the cheek area so that there is more makeup on the outer edges of your face. After blending out, use whats left on the cushion to pat the rest on your forehead and the thinner areas

 Tip 3: bring out freshness using warm and cool method.

 Around the eyes where its bluish with dark circles  and the upper lips are where there's fine hair is the cool zone. The cool zone is where it makes you look tired. She suggests to put a highlighter on those areas starting from under the eyes blending down to laugh lines where you smile around the mouth.
How to put on blush- sweep color onto a brush  and tap the color in the circular motion around your apples of cheeks.

Tip 4: Show and Hide method.

 When you draw your eyeliner,  don't draw it with the same thickness. It should be thin right above the pupil of the eyes and should be thicker near the outer corners of the eyes. Start at the outer of the eyes with thick lines then make it thin in the middle and then thick again near the inner tear ducts.
For eyeshadow use a base color and a darker color. Take the dark color starting from the outer edge and work the way into the tear duct so that the outer edge is darker. Pat the lighter color on the center of the lids so that there is less color on the edge and more color in the middle. When applying mascara do the left and right motion then up and down motion.

For the lips she uses a cubed shaped lipstick to shaped the v area so that it emphasizes the lines well. However i felt that the model already had nicely shaped cupids bow on her lips so her lips were nicely defined. But my lips aren't shaped like that, I don't know if I would be able to make such nicely defines lips with just that lips stick. The brand she is using is VDL expert color lip cube. The lipstick looks really neat. I have been eyeing that lipstick ever since reading it from some korean beauty blog.

sidenote: all three host are wearing incredibly cute dresses today. I especially like Jaekyung's white cutout dress.
