How to apply base makeup using Make Face
Step 1: Conceal
Tackling the tell-tale signs of tiredness and camouflaging imperfections, concealer is an unrivalled beauty staple.
• To neutralise and illuminate the skin, start with shade B1 or B3 (depending on which shade of palette you’re using). Apply to the inner corner and under-eye area, blending in with your fingers, a makeup brush, or beauty blender.
• To correct and even out the skin tone, follow with shades C1, C2, or C3 if you’re using the light-medium palette, or C7, C8, or C9 if you’re using the tan-deep palette. Apply to the under-eye area and on any imperfections before blending out.
Step 2: Bronze and Sculpt
Contouring and bronzing is a great way to define your features and warm up your base.
• Starting with the shade Cold Brew or Treacle, apply to the natural shadows of your face such as the bottom of your cheekbone, along your jawline, and around the top of your hairline, and blend out.
• Next, take the shades Teak or Waffle for the fair-medium palette users, or shades Flapjack or Acorn if you’re using the tan-deep palette. Buff and blend over your contour to add extra definition and warmth to the skin, while blurring any texture.
Step 3: Blush
Blush is the perfect way to add a flattering flush of colour to your base, and make your skin look like skin again.
• Taking the shade Mochi and Grapefruit if you’re after a matte finish, or Peony and Dusk if you prefer a more dewy, fresh-faced look, apply to the top of the cheekbones and blend for a healthy, lifted finish.

Step 4: Brighten
For the perfect finishing touch, use a setting powder and highlighter to brighten your base.
• Start with the universally flattering shade P1 to blur the skin and ward away unwanted shine. Using a makeup brush or sponge, tap under the eyes, down the sides your nose, up to your temples, and underneath your cheek contour.
• For extra definition and long-lasting staying power, leave your setting powder to sit on the skin for a few minutes before sweeping away.
• Complete your look with the highlighter shades Halo and Karat to illuminate the high points of the face. Apply to the cheekbones, down the bridge of the nose, under the brow, on the inner corners of the eye, and on the cupid’s bow for the ultimate radiant finish.
