The joy that makeup brings is a bit like magic. It’s our “go-to” way to boost our confidence, enhance our best features, and, most importantly, express ourselves. However, with tons of information going around, it can become overwhelming which tips to follow, and it’s very easy to pick up a habit that worked for someone else’s features but not precisely for yours…been there, done that (oopsie). So, let’s clear things up in this blog with the best makeup tips from our experts with product recommendations included!

First things first, there are two myths we want to clear up for you, that will help you find the perfect shade for every look.

Myth: You Should Match Foundation to Your Hand

Pro tip & truth: Your hand is rarely the same shade as your face, so testing foundation there is a recipe for disaster. Instead, always try it on your jawline and check it in natural light for the best match. We have a full blog on how to find your perfect foundation match, click here!

Myth: Concealer Should Always Be Lighter Than Foundation

Pro tip & truth: We’ve all seen it—those ghostly under-eyes that are a shade too bright. A too-light concealer can highlight instead of hide. For dark circles, go one shade lighter; for blemishes, match your foundation; for corrections try green or peach concealers.

Product recommendation: EVAGARDEN’s Perfector and Light Up concealers are excellent options with moisturizing properties, buildable coverage, and multitasking for all kind of looks.

Now that we got those two basics out of the way, you are off to a great start to look even more flawless than your natural beauty. Here are our top 5 pro makeup tips:

1. Blend your foundation all the way down to your neck. DON’T Stop at Your Jawline – It can make your face look disconnected from your body. This prevents a visible foundation line and ensures a natural look. Blend it down for a seamless finish.
   • Product recommendation: Depending on the coverage you are looking for, EVAGARDEN’s foundations are amazing for your skin, with anti-aging, moisturizing, and protective properties.
2. Use a Lip Liner for Bold Lip Colours. DON’T Skip Liner when going for Dark or Bright Shades. Lip liner defines the lips, prevents the colour from bleeding, and makes your lipstick last longer.
   • Product recommendation: our go-to is EVAGARDEN’s Superlast Lip Pencil which combines precision in writing and release of strong colour.
3. Contour & Blush: Make an imaginary line from ear to nose and eyebrow to jaw, and look where these two intersect, that is the perfect spot to apply your contour upwards and blush just below the contour line. Blend both upwards for a lifting effect.
   • Product recommendation: we love the EVAGARDEN Contour & Blush Sticks, with an incredible colour, smooth texture that blends into the skin, and non-greasy formula. The practical stick format simplifies everything!
4. The key in pencils starts with the proper makeup sharpener! A high-quality sharpener keeps your lip liners, eyeliners, and brow pencils smooth and precise.
5. Always prepare the skin with primer and finish with a setting spray: A good primer makes all the difference—it smooths the skin, helps makeup last longer, and keeps everything looking fresh.
   • Product recommendation: there are a lot of options with EVAGARDEN but our current favourites are Light Sundefense Primer SPF50 which protects from pollution, blue light, and UVA/UVB rays, and we finish the look with a few sprays of BeautyFix with hydrating, soothing and regenerating properties.

Extra makeup tip because we love that you made it this far:
