2023: A Top Beauty Guru Talks about Her Beauty Secrets:

I remember the days of watching the other girls rush to put on their make-up in the bathroom between classes. It was always a mad dash to reapply what the teachers had forced us to wash off before break. But what was once a race to perfection has now turned into a hilarious spectacle of hypocrisy and hyperbole now that I am a beauty guru online.

As a make-up artist, I’ve seen it all – from the latest trends to the classics that never die. And while every make-up artist has their own style, what sets me apart is my ability to transform any make-up from one base style into any modern look or style. This isn’t just a talent that comes naturally, it’s a skill that has been honed through years of practice, trial and error.

In this article, I want to share my secrets with you, from the latest trends to the tried and true classics that never go out of style. Get ready to learn step-by-step how to achieve a popular modern look that will have you turning heads everywhere you go.

Beauty Guru Tip – Step 1: Prime the Skin

Before you start with any make-up, it’s essential to have a good base. Begin by washing your face with your favorite cleanser, followed by a toner and moisturizer. Once the moisturizer has absorbed into the skin, apply a primer. The primer acts as a barrier between the skin and make-up, ensuring that your make-up stays in place all day long. I recommend the Hourglass Veil Mineral Primer for a flawless, long-lasting finish.

Beauty Guru Tip – Step 2: Conceal and Correct

The next step is to conceal any dark circles or blemishes with a good concealer. For this step, I recommend using the Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer. It’s easy to blend, buildable, and has a radiant finish that brightens up the under-eye area.

Beauty Guru Tip – Step 3: Apply Foundation

The foundation you use sets the tone for your entire look. For a natural finish, I recommend using a light-coverage foundation. If you want something more full-coverage, try the Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation. It’s perfect for those long days when you need your make-up to stay put. Apply the foundation with a damp beauty blender for a seamless finish.

Beauty Guru Tip – Step 4: Define Your Brows

Brows are everything in the make-up world, and they can make or break your entire look. I like to use the Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz to fill in any sparse areas and define the shape. Remember to blend out any harsh lines with a spoolie brush.

Beauty Guru Tip – Step 5: Eye Make-Up

Now it’s time to focus on the eyes. This season, the trend is all about bold, colourful eye-shadow. I love the Huda Beauty Obsessions Palette in Coral for a vibrant pop of color. Start by applying a transition shade to the crease of your eyelid. Then, use a smaller brush to apply a bright shade to the center of the lid. Blend out any harsh lines with a fluffy brush. Finish off with a bold eyeliner and a few coats of mascara.

Beauty Guru Tip – Step 6: Highlight and Contour

Highlight and contour are the key to sculpting your face and creating a flawless finish. I recommend using the Fenty Beauty Match Stix Trio for a natural-looking contour. Apply the contour shade to the hollows of your cheeks, the temples, and the jawline. For a highlight, use a light-reflecting shade on the high points of your face – the tops of the cheekbones, the bridge of the nose, and the cupid’s bow.
