What i did ……
I have a combination skin, it tends to get oily around the T zone . To prepare the skin for the makeup i would include – Splashing of cold water on face and then using toner as they closes the pores and thus reducing the oil secretion . I have applied only a sunscreen with UVA and UVB protection ( it has little moisturizer ) , let the sunscreen set on the skin before applying foundation ( have blended the foundation just wherever I felt I needed the coverage and thus keeping it very light ). have used contouring powder on the sides of the nose , bronzer on the apples of cheeks and a little shimmer down the bridge of nose, on brow bone and on chin.
For eyebrows , I filled in with dark brown .For shadow I covered lid ( used very dark grey ) and brushed a shadow ( charcoal black ) on the corner of the eye as it elongates my eyes . I brightened up my tear line with blackest black. Finally I applied mascara to lashes.
For lips I used almost nude ( slight hint of pink/brown) …..lip color and go for a gloss .
