Q&A for How to Apply Matte Makeup

Apply it in multiple places and blend well for a natural look. With a matte look, it looks more natural if you put the highlighter in several different places, rather than just on your cheekbones. Then, dab across the highlighter with a damp sponge to make it blend naturally into your skin.

If you're asking how to look model-quality without makeup then I have an answer. First, exfoliate your skin and make sure it's hydrated and smooth. You can use face washes, masks, and wrinkle creams to help make your skin look better. Second, always moisturize. You can buy moisturizers or make your own. Third, eat healthy and work out. Eating healthy is great for your skin and it will boost your confidence as well.

Yes, it is okay to apply both primer and milk of magnesia, but be sure to completely wash your face when taking off makeup, or else you will break out and become very oily. BB cream is a blemish balm makeup product. It is kind of like concealer and foundation in one. Sometimes you can use BB cream in place of primer, but only if it says "primer" on the BB tube.

The opposite of matte is shiny/glitter/shimmer. If you're talking about foundation finish, then that would be called dewy.

You can get a natural finish with matte finish products by using them moderately. Try to have some fun with these. Figure out how much and what exactly you need for a certain effect in front of a mirror.

Use a foundation that has a dewy finish and has moisturizing ingredients. Be sure it matches your exact skin tone and blend it thoroughly!
