1. Prep Your Skin:

• Cleanse your face and apply a moisturizer suitable for your skin type. Allow it to absorb before applying makeup.

2. Primer:

• Apply a makeup primer to create a smooth base, minimize pores, and help your makeup last longer.

3. Foundation:

• Choose a long-wearing, full-coverage foundation that matches your skin tone. Blend it evenly using a sponge or foundation brush for a flawless finish.

4. Concealer:

• Apply concealer to cover any blemishes, dark circles, or areas that need extra coverage. Blend it seamlessly with your foundation.

5. Setting Powder:

• Set your foundation and concealer with a translucent setting powder to prevent creasing and add longevity to your makeup.

6. Contour, Blush, and Highlight:

• Contour lightly under your cheekbones, jawline, and along the sides of your nose for definition. Apply blush to the apples of your cheeks and highlighter on the high points of your face for a radiant glow.

7. Eyebrows:

• Fill in your eyebrows using a brow pencil, powder, or gel to define their shape and enhance their natural appearance.

8. Eye Makeup:

• Prime your eyelids to make your eye makeup last longer. Create an eye look using eyeshadow shades that complement your outfit, blending darker shades into the crease and lighter shades on the lid. Apply eyeliner and mascara to define and accentuate your eyes.

9. False Lashes (Optional):

• Apply false lashes for added drama and intensity to your eye makeup. Make sure to trim them to fit your eye shape and apply with lash glue.

10. Lipstick or Lip Gloss:

• Choose a lipstick or lip gloss in a shade that complements your overall look. Line your lips for definition if desired and apply the lip color evenly.

11. Setting Spray:

• Finish your makeup by spritzing a setting spray to lock everything in place and ensure your makeup stays fresh throughout the event.

12. Touch-Up Kit:

• Pack a small touch-up kit with items like blotting papers, lipstick or gloss, and a small mirror for any necessary touch-ups during the event.

Adjust these steps based on your personal style, the event's dress code, and the look you want to achieve. Practice the look beforehand to ensure you're comfortable with the techniques and products you're using.
