GLAM BY MARA — online makeup academyPrepare the skin and build a light base
Follow your usual suitable skincare routine before applying a small amount of foundation. Blend from the centre outward, checking your result in natural light. There is no need to start with a thick layer.
Try this: apply a light base to one area and compare the edges in daylight.
Get to know your brushes
A few basic tools are enough to practise foundation, powder, eyeshadow and blending. Keep tools clean, and use separate or sanitised tools when working with another person.
Try this: blend the edge of one eyeshadow using a clean, fluffy brush.
What to learn next
Once the base feels familiar, practise brows, blush and a simple eye look. More defined evening makeup calls for additional blending and placement skills.
