5-minute Natural Makeup for OLs
The pursuit of naturally flawless skin is a goal for many women, which is why many are willing to spend as much time as needed to achieve a fresh and natural look before heading out. However, office ladies (OLs) often find themselves rushing to work, leaving little time for perfect makeup or spending too much time on it and risking being late. Do you want to speed up your makeup skills? Learn the following tips!
Tip 1: Pre-makeup application of softening toner
Tip 1: Gently patting on softening toner solves adhesion issues easily
We all know that toner helps with hydration and pore minimization, but there are also toners that serve to soften and awaken the skin. Applying this type of toner before makeup, combined with patting and light stroking gestures, can make the skin surface smooth while warming and activating the skin, making it appear plump, soft, and elastic. This ensures that foundation applies smoothly and adheres well.

Tip 2: Zonal foundation application
Tip 2: Apply foundation in zones
Tip 2: Apply foundation in three zones to brighten skin tone quickly
For those who always complain about difficulty in applying foundation evenly, here's a quick method that ensures even application and instant skin brightening. First, divide the face into three zones: the T-zone, the eye area, and the nose-lip area.
Start with the T-zone because controlling the amount of foundation initially can be tricky. The forehead and bridge of the nose require highlighting, so apply a slightly thicker layer. Next, apply to the cheeks using a sponge to spread evenly. Then use the remaining foundation to gently dab around the eyes, ensuring a thinner layer that highlights the eye area. Finally, focus on the nose-lip area, which tends to have more shadowed corners and nasolabial folds. Avoid smearing; instead, press gently.

Tip 3: Conceal and contour simultaneously
Tip 3: Conceal and contour at the same time for an instantly refined small face
By this step, the natural makeup is almost complete, but the facial contours may still lack definition. Office workers can spend a few seconds using a concealer pen to draw radiating lines at the mouth corners, nasolabial folds, and under the lower lip, then gently blend with fingertips to make fine lines less visible. Notably, since the nostrils tend to produce oil, using solid concealer can better control oil and provide a matte finish.
