GLAM BY MARA — online makeup academyLight coverage in natural light
Apply a little base only where you want it, then soften the edges. Compare the shade near a window to understand how it looks outside artificial lighting.
Try this: take one photograph in daylight and one under indoor lighting.
Brows, cheeks and lips
Brush your brows, select a blush shade that works with the look, and choose lip colour to match the overall effect. You do not have to emphasise every feature at once.
Try this: compare two blush shades with the same simple eye makeup.
From daytime to evening
To create a more defined look, gradually build colour around the eyes or lips. Keeping the transitions smooth matters more than adding more layers.
See the evening makeup guide for more detail.
