What is Makeup Blending and How to Blend Makeup?
Blending is a part of makeup application that ensures the delivery of natural and more polished results. When done with the right techniques, it works excellently to eliminate unwanted facial lines and create a dimension to the overall look. Makeup blending is done on all types including foundation, eyeshadow and contour.
Here’s a step-by-step guide on makeup blending for the perfect results:
1. Start by prepping your clients’ skin by cleansing, exfoliating and moisturizing. Follow these three crucial steps to hydrate the skin before applying primer that further contributes to creating a smooth canvas for makeup application.
2. Pick the right makeup brush, such as the ideal foundation brush for flawless results, and a similar brush for the makeup product you need to apply. Ensure that the brush hair is of the finest quality that will be gentle on the skin and blend powdered, liquid or cream products seamlessly for the perfect finish.
3. Apply the makeup in thin layers and do not overdo it. Start small and apply more as required.
4. Once the first layer is applied, start blending. Repeat blending if you apply another layer. This particular process will avoid the chances of giving a cakey finish and ensure even application of the makeup.
5. Adopt the correct technique for every makeup product. Here’s how to do so:
- For the foundation, use circular motions to blend the product evenly.
- For eyeshadow, use the windshield wiper motions to blend in the crease while small circular motions to soften the edges.
- For contour, blend in the upward direction to lift the face and avoid harsh lines.
6. While blending, pay attention to the edges to create a seamless result. You can use a fresh brush or a sponge to work on these areas.
7. Set your makeup once done with a translucent powder or makeup-holding spray. This will lock the makeup and keep them in place for a long period of time.
