Which Products Should APPLY for FACE MAKEUP?

THE BEST ORDER TO APPLY FACE MAKEUP

In terms of makeup, acing your face should be your first order of business before you move on to your lip makeup and eye makeup. But things can get complicated. Do you really need a primer? Does concealer come before or after foundation? We’re here to take the guesswork out of the equation with our step-by-step guide to applying face makeup from start to finish.

STEP 1: PRIMER

Using a primer is one of the best things you can do when it comes to applying makeup. Primer, like the L'Oréal Paris Infallible Pro-Glow Lock Makeup Primer or L'Oréal Paris Infallible Pro-Matte Lock Makeup Primer, can help to give you an even canvas to work on, as it can help smooth lines. Primer can also help your makeup wear more evenly throughout the day. Choose a primer with a glowing finish if you have dry skin or a primer with a matte finish if you have oily skin. Regardless of which primer you pick, apply it all over your face or to targeted areas, depending on your skin’s specific concerns.

STEP 2: COLOR CORRECT

Have dark circles under eyes or redness you want to hide? Now’s the time to use a color correcting concealer, like one of the L'Oréal Paris True Match™ Color Correcting Crayons, to cover these up. Peach, bisque, or orange can disguise dark circles, green can neutralize the look of redness, purple can hide discoloration, and yellow can mask discoloration. Simply blend a small amount of color-correcting concealer onto targeted areas using your finger.
