Step-by-Step Tutorial

Step 1: Prep Your Skin (2 minutes)

Start with clean, moisturized skin. Apply primer or a moisturizer with SPF to create a smooth base and protect your skin.

Step 2: Even Out Skin Tone (3 minutes)

Apply foundation or BB cream with a brush or sponge, focusing on areas that need coverage. Blend well into your hairline and jawline.

Step 3: Conceal (2 minutes)

Apply concealer under eyes in an inverted triangle shape, on any blemishes, and around your nose. Blend gently with a sponge or finger.

Step 4: Set with Powder (1 minute)

Lightly dust translucent powder on your T-zone to control shine throughout the day.

Step 5: Define Brows (2 minutes)

Fill in sparse areas with light, hair-like strokes using a brow pencil or powder. Brush through with a spoolie for a natural look.

Step 6: Simple Eye Makeup (3 minutes)

Apply a light neutral shade all over your lid. Add a slightly darker shade in your crease for subtle definition. Line your upper lash line with brown or black eyeliner, keeping it thin and close to lashes.

Step 7: Mascara (1 minute)

Apply one or two coats of mascara to upper lashes, wiggling the wand from root to tip.

Step 8: Add Color (1 minute)

Smile and apply blush to the apples of your cheeks, blending upward toward your temples.

Step 9: Lips (1 minute)

Finish with a nude, pink, or berry lipstick that complements your skin tone. Blot for a more natural finish.

Tips for Longevity in Uganda's Climate

• Use a mattifying primer in humid weather
• Set makeup with setting spray
• Keep blotting papers handy
• Choose long-wearing, waterproof formulas
• Touch up powder at midday if needed

Customizing for Your Skin Tone

Deeper Skin Tones: Use warm-toned browns and golds for eyes, and rich berry or plum shades for lips.

Medium Skin Tones: Peachy and bronze shades work beautifully for a natural glow.

Lighter Skin Tones: Soft pinks and taupes create a fresh, natural look.

Common Mistakes to Avoid
