Discover How to Wear Pastel Makeup and Rock It What’s not to love about pastels, right from their range of lovely shades and soothing tones to add them to your makeup routine and any skin tone? Let’s take you through a guide to help you rock those pastel looks the right way. A lot of women tend to love pastels and for good reason, these soothing pops of color are stunning, inspired by the 1600s, and come in a range of colorful shades that make your eyes pop. From a stunning shimmer blusher palette to a bold liner or even a two-shaded eye look, if you have a stunning outfit that needs to be tied together, opting for pastels is the perfect option. Here are a couple of things to keep in mind when you’re looking to opt for your perfect pastel look. • Understanding your pastel shade While blues, peaches, pinks, oranges, and lilacs all look stunning, not all of these shades will suit your skin tone. If your complexion is deep, vivid shades like lilac would look beautiful and for a medium complexion, warmer tones such as peach and yellow are the best as they bring out the golden hues of your skin. For lighter skin tones, look for shades like blues and greens that when paired with your face foundation cream creates the perfect look. • Prepping and priming for your look Before you decide to use your lovely pastel contour palette always ensure that you prep your face first. Start by using a facewash, toner, and moisturizer and buy primer that blurs your pores, covers up fine lines, and effectively controls and keeps oily skin at bay. Make sure you also use primer on your T-zone for a fresh and seamless look. • Contour your face for your pastel look The next step is to add a definition to your face. First, add a good contour and follow it up with the foundation to easily sculpt your face. You can then opt for your Forever 52 highlighter to correct any visible wrinkles or dark spots and enhance the other parts of your face. This offers you a flawless look so that your foundation doesn’t crease or slide off. • Add your pastel base Once this is done, grab your favorite base makeup product which can be a BB or CC cream, and apply it to your face while blending well so that it’s natural and flawless. Ensure that your base is secure so that your look will stay on all day or night. You can then look for a good compact powder or blush in the shade you are looking for and add a pop of pastels to your cheeks. Pick from coral, peach, or rose for a natural and flushed look. • Eye the pastel Look for a lovely matte or shimmer pastel eyeshadow that comes in a range of stunning hues and can easily allow you to create the perfect pastel eye all by yourself. Take the lighter shade from the palette and apply it to your entire lid, then add your favorite pastel hue in the center of your lid and blend it outwards, opt for a subtle golden or brown shade for the inner corner of your eye and finish your look with a gel eyeliner. •
