Makeup: Trends, Tips & Tutorials

Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to apply makeup for beginners:
1. Foundation - Pick your shade from our Teint Idôle Ultra Wear Foundation range. Apply it all over your face with a damp beauty sponge or a makeup brush.
2. Concealer - Pick your shade from our Teint Idôle Ultra Wear All Over Concealer. Apply it under your eyes, chin and in the centre of your forehead and other areas that you feel like.
3. Blush and highlighter - Using a fluffy brush, apply Lancôme’s Blush Subtil on your cheeks. Follow it up with a highlighter. Do use a fan brush to apply it on the high points of your face.
4. Eye look - Use Lancôme’s Artliner Eyeliner to create a perfect winged eyeliner. Coat your lashes with Lancôme Grandiôse Mascara for a volumised look.
6. Lips - Use a lip liner to define them. Pick your favourite lipstick shade from L’Absolu Rouge Lipsticks and apply it to your lips.

There are four ways to apply Teint Idôle Ultra Wear All Over Concealer and achieve different results.
Conceal - Apply under the eyes to cover dark circles
Highlight - Apply on the forehead, down the nose, and on the cupid's bow and chin to highlight the high points of the face. Pick a shade lighter than your skin tone.
Correct - Apply directly on blemishes, dark spots, and redness to even skin tone. Pick a shade that matches your skin tone.
Contour - Apply on the forehead, sides of the nose, cheekbones and jawline to sculpt your face. Pick a shade 2-3 shades deeper than your skin tone.

1. Pick a felt tip liner like our Artliner Eyeliner which offers precision and control.
2. Depending on how thick or thin you want your liner to be, start creating a line. It should be a little above your upper lash line.
3. Once you reach the outer corner of your upper lash line, create a wing for an effortless look.
4. Repeat the same process on the other eye and you’ve mastered creating eyeliners.

Product residue often gets trapped in makeup brushes and sponges. Therefore, it’s important to clean them as it ensures the materials are protected, and bacteria aren’t placed onto the skin. The best way to clean them is to soak them in warm, soapy water. Carefully massage your brushes and rinse beauty sponges until all product is removed. Squeeze and leave them dry on a clean towel.

Soak a cotton pad in a makeup remover like the Lancôme Bi-Facil Eye Makeup Remover. Place it on your face for a few seconds. Once the cotton pad absorbs the product, gently sweep it off your face. Follow it up with a facial cleanser like our Mousse Eclat Foaming Cleanser for a squeaky-clean face.
