Every woman dreams of shine-free, smooth, and velvety skin, and it wouldn’t be wrong to say that it’s on top of the agenda. For this purpose, a matte foundation is everything you need to create the powder-soft finish. While it’s great for disguising the oily t-zone, a matte foundation provides a long-lasting application that locks in the flawless look. So, if you have already made up your mind to opt for a matte foundation, follow the tips mentioned below to get the most flattering finish!

Prepping & Priming

It’s a common myth that women with oily skin cannot use a moisturizer, but proper skin preparation is essential for creating the best base for foundation. For this purpose, you need to apply moisturizer to your forehead, under-eyes, and cheeks. Once the moisturizer is seeped in, you can apply the primer. Also, if you are fond of dewy makeup look, you can opt for the hydrating and illuminating primer to veil your skin in nature luminous.

Concealing & Correcting

Once the skin is prepped, apply the concealers and make sure to opt for luminous-based and reflective liquid concealers because they blend pretty seamlessly. The concealers and correctors are suitable for smoothening the dark circles and creating the crease-free canvas for the makeup – the absolute dream, right?

Applying The Foundation

Now that you have created a flawless canvas for applying makeup, this is the time to apply the foundation. Apply the foundation in the form of dots all over the face and blend it with a sponge. Also, always smooth out the foundation from the center part of the face, and build up coverage on the t-zone and then blend in an outward direction until you achieve the even and flawless base.

Once done with the foundation application, take up some powder and dab your forehead, chin, and chin, and don’t forget to put the powder in the bag for touchups. In fact, if you are worried about the foundation looking cakey with powder touchups, you don’t need to worry, as matte foundations can handle it pretty well.

Sharpen The Formulas

When it comes down to creating a seamless makeup look, you need to ensure that it’s in harmony with the bronzer and powder blush. This is because the powder blush will be all you need to create the nature-looking makeup finish. As far as the bronzer is concerned, there are various options with multi-tonal and tan-mimicking formulas. Lastly, if you want to add some glow, apply some highlighter on the cupid’s bow and cheekbones without making it too shiny.

Completing The Looks

When it comes down to the matte foundation, there are various ways of working it out. Having said that, for everyday foundation wear, you can pair it with pink blush and top up the eyelashes with brown mascara. On the other hand, if you want to create a glam look, get your hands on volume-based mascara and apply it (don’t forget a thin line of eyeliner to add depth to the eyes).

Blue

Blue is one color that can absorb everything with its wide spectrum of tones and shades. The best thing about blue is that it can be added to the vibrant and bold makeup looks as well as the cooler makeups for the beach day. Even more, blue is suitable for creating different eye makeup looks as it’s a perfect choice for mascaras, eyeliners, and eyeshades to create the looks that everyone mesmerizes and talks about.

For instance, this Azure Blue Eye Palette is the best formulation with a variety of blue shades. Ranging from light blue to ferozi and royal blue to navy, there is a great range of blue in this eyeshadow palette. In fact, the shimmer shades are perfect for adding the bling!

Marigold

For the longest time, we have been stuck with the nude and neutral colors and it seems like everyone has had enough of the boring colors. For this reason, marigold will become the color star in the makeup world and it’s ready to add a punch of color to your makeup looks with the yellow and orange hues. What we love about marigold is that it can be subtle as well as bold, so you have great room to play with the shades.

In fact, if you are experimental enough, you can simply get a yellow eyeliner for your brunch date with girlfriends and flaunt the brightest eyes. Not to forget, it’s a perfect color for your summer makeup. To illustrate, this marigold palette is ideal for everyone who likes playing with the oranges, reds, and yellows. Topping it all, the colors are incredibly pigmented, so even the swatch adds sufficient colors!

Holographics

You must be living under the roof if you didn’t know about the holographic craze in the apparel world, and it seems like it’s making its way into the makeup world this year. This is because holographic color has the sophistication and subtle glamor that every woman wants in her makeup look. The ultimate thing about holographic colors are the undeniably pretty shades that suits every skin tone. In addition, holographic color is appropriate for summer makeup looks.

Personally, we love the lavender hints in this color and how it adds a muting touch to the look. Having said that, it’s a must to have a holographic lip gloss in the makeup vanity this year because bling is the ultimate need in 2022. These lip glosses add a beautiful sheen to the lips and look perfect with the pink summer makeup!

So, which of these colors are you adding to the makeup vanity?
