Lim’s Top Tips (applying Mamonde products)

1. To prep, plump up your skin with proper skincare and moisturiser (Moisture Ceramide Light Cream) followed by a mist (Floral Hydro Face Mist) for longer lasting makeup.

2. Apply a skin tone correcting primer (Color Tone Up Base-Green or Purple) that corrects skin tones and reduces foundation usage. (Green corrects redness and purple corrects yellow/dullness).

3. For brighter complexion choose your Cushion Foundation based on your skin condition. The Brightening Cover Watery Cushion (for normal/dry skin) offers natural coverage while the Brightening Cover Powder Cushion (for combination/oily skin) offers medium to full coverage.

4. Choose an eyebrow colour (Natural Auto Pencil Eyebrow) that matches your hair colour or one tone lighter to appear younger.

5. For eyeliner (Super Long Wear Auto Pencil Slim Liner) choose black for a defined look or brown for a softer look.

6. For this look we will skip the eyeshadow and focus on well-defined eyes. Curl lashes then choose a black mascara (Big Eye Volume Lash Mascara) with volumisation to enhance.

7. For a natural blush effect, choose a coral or peach based blusher (Flower Pop Blusher) and apply on the apples of the cheeks.

8. Choose a lip colour (Creamy Tint Color Balm Intense #21-#25) that matches your lip tone to achieve “My lips but better” trend that is about having the lip shade that matches your natural lip colour.

9. This step is not compulsory but it could be a very important step for the makeup finish depending on your skin type.

For oily skin, apply the Cotton Veil Pact powder with a powder puff for a matte finish. For dry skin apply with a powder brush for a soft and natural finish.

Lim’s Bonus Tips

For foundation take note of two things: the coverage (sheer, medium or full) and the finish (dewy, semi-matte or matte) to understand which suits your skin.

For oily/blemish-prone skin choose the foundation with medium to full coverage and matte finish for a lasting effect. For normal/dry skin choose the foundation with sheer coverage and dewy finish for a natural effect.

Try two foundation colours (closest to your skin tone) and apply both on your jawline. The colour closest to your skin tone should be the right shade.

● Highlighters can be used for this look and applied on the cheekbones, forehead, nose bridge and cupid bow.

● Short of time? Just apply the cushion foundation, eyebrow pencil, lipstick and face mist.
