How to achieve a flawless full-coverage look

With age comes wisdom. While your experiences and accolades may have turned you into a better version of yourself, the years aren’t always kind to the skin. With the right full-coverage makeup, you can conceal a multitude of skin-related concerns, including age spots, enlarged pores, and fine lines and wrinkles.

The key to flawless, full-coverage makeup is thoroughly cleaning and hydrating your skin prior to application. Failure to do so will result in a mask-like effect and possibly exaggerate fine lines often found under the eyes and corners of the mouth. You should also invest in a primer because its sole purpose is to help your foundation and concealer stay in place.

1. Apply a primer of your choice to your skin with a blending brush.

2. Use a full coverage concealer to hide any blemishes and dark spots around your nose, cheeks, chin and forehead.

3. Dab the cream blush on the apples of your cheeks with the brush.

4. Use the eyeshadow palette as your eyeliner. Apply a dark shade onto your lash lines using the angled brush. Use light strokes to achieve a straight line.

5. Glide the lip liner across your lips. You may need to repeat this step several times until you achieve the perfect shade.

6. Swipe a vivid lipstick shade onto the center of your lips for added drama. Fill in any areas you think requires an additional coat of color.

7. Clean any smudges near the corners of your mouth with a cotton swab. Share this full coverage makeup tutorial on Facebook.
