School is back in full swing, which means it’s time to start planning for homecoming! There are a lot of decisions to make when it comes to pulling together the perfect homecoming ensemble, from picking out the right attire to perfecting your haircut and your homecoming cosmetics look.
Here is some homecoming makeup guidance to help you plan your look ahead of time. Whether it’s a classic red lip, a dewy skin tone, or a pop of color to your eyes—you should find something that complements your personality and features. That said, if you’re a makeup novice and would love to apply your own makeup, it’s best to opt for a simple soft glam makeup look for homecoming like the following.
How to Achieve a Soft Glam Look
- Hydrate your skin with a SPF infused moisturizer.
- Apply eye cream.
- Luminous skin starts with a brightening primer.
- A damp beauty blender can be used in place of an actual foundation brush.
- Use the beauty blender to apply your favorite foundation.
- Bounce the blender on your face, and distribute the substance all the way down to your throat. The Armani Luminous Silk base and the Bobbi Brown Skin Long-Wear Weightless base are great go-to buildable foundations.
- Choose an undereye brightener to make your eyes appear more awake.
- Use your brightener beneath your concealer. Under-eye brightener is a lifesaver if you suffer from dark undereye circles,
- You can apply concealer on your face in the form of an inverted triangle. Apply it on the bridge of your nose, chin, and between your brows.
- Place your contour slightly below your cheekbones, on the jawbone, on each side of your forehead, and on the edges of your nose.
- Brush on your bronzer with a large, soft brush. Make sure you don’t forget to apply bronzer to your neck as well as the rest of your face.
- Eyebrow pencils and gels may both be used to define your brows.
- Apply blush on the cheeks’ apples.
- It’s best to apply the highlighter in a C-shape, starting at the upper side of your cheekbone. If you have dry skin, a liquid highlighter could be a better choice. Powder highlighters seem to last longer on me.
- Make use of your preferred nude or Earth colored eyeshadow collection.
- Don’t forget the mascara.
- Utilize an eyelash primer for added volume and thickening.
- Line your eyes with eyeliner.
- Apply a subtle pink nude lip liner if desired, before applying a nude colored lipstick or gloss.
