Prep the skin : Start by cleansing your face with a mild cleanser and toner to remove impurities and balance the skin's pH.

Moisturizer : Apply a moisturizer to hydrate and plump the skin.

Foundation : Use a facial foundation to fill in fine lines or pores and help your makeup last longer.

Conceal - Apply concealer under the eyes and over blemishes to hide dark circles and blemishes.

Foundation - Apply a thin layer of foundation to even out your complexion and provide a base for your makeup.

Contour - Use a contour pencil or powder to define cheekbones, jawline and nose.

Blush - Apply a touch of blush to your cheeks to give your face a healthy glow.

Eye makeup : Apply eyeliner and mascara to accentuate your eyes and make them brighter.

Lips : Complete your look with a touch of gloss or lipstick.

Setting Spray : To set your makeup in place, use a setting spray to keep your face fresh and flawless all day long.

For men
Shower and Cleanse : Shower with a mild soap to cleanse your skin. This helps remove dirt, oil and sweat leaving you feeling fresh and clean.

Shaving/Trimming Facial Hair - If you have facial hair, make sure it is properly trimmed and groomed. Use beard trimmers or scissors to maintain desired length and shape to fit your face. This way you get a clean and smooth look.

Style Your Hair : Make sure your hair is the style you want. Use a comb, brush, or hair product to give your hair the look you want. You can also consider cutting or trimming your hair if needed.

Dress Appropriately : Choose appropriate attire for the occasion and place. Make sure it's clean and ironed, and avoid wearing anything too casual or too formal. However, choose a stylish outfit that looks good on you and gives you confidence.

Use grooming products – Consider using grooming products like deodorant, aftershave, and cologne. Pay attention to the smell and only use enough to create a pleasant scent. Don't overdo it as too much scent can be overwhelming.

Exfoliate : Exfoliates to remove dead skin cells and keep your skin fresh.

Toner – Apply a toner to balance your skin's pH.

Moisturizer : Moisturizes your skin to keep it hydrated and smooth.

Trimming eyebrows : This is not just for women. Use an eyebrow trimmer to shape your brows and keep them clean.
