The Details That Can Make Or Break Your Makeup

We’ve all seen celebrities, influencers, and everyday people with effortless makeup. Dewy perfect skin and perfect eyebrows. Of course, there are countless videos on YouTube, Instagram Reels, and TikTok’s to show you how to achieve the perfect look. The only issue: where to start? What products do you choose? We’re breaking down what can make or break a makeup look.

The Perfect Base

The key to skin that looks like you have an in-person filter is the base. From the skincare you’re using before bed to the moisturizer you put on before your makeup – it’s all important to creating the perfect base. Make sure your skin is hydrated, otherwise makeup can look patchy and dry. Alternatively, opt for products with less oil if you find your skin gets oily throughout the day – you’ll want to use powders to limit excess oils.

More Can Be Less

You’re not using enough makeup. We know, this is probably the last thing you thought you would read, but we promise this is often true. This can even be true when trying to achieve a no makeup makeup look. If you’re not sure how to go about this, our stylists are here to help curate the perfect makeup routine to create a flawless look. Try out different variations of your typical routine but don’t be afraid of adding in foundation, bronzer and highlighter in key spots, and blush across the bridge of your nose and cheeks. Tip: when adding blush, bronzer, and highlighter, think about where sun would hit your face and where you would tan during the summer.

Eyes Can Change A Look

Things like mascara, brows, eyeliner, and eyeshadow can completely alter a look. If you’ve been keeping track of makeup trends on social media, you know there are countless influencers doing no makeup looks where the key is leaving out mascara – it can turn a glam look low-key and casual. These makeup products can also alter the shape of your eyes, make your eye color pop, and enhance natural features.

From your prep to not using enough makeup, there are just some pieces of your makeup routine that will make or break your look.
