In the South, Hospitality is key and first impressions are everything. As a Southern belle, you want your makeup to reflect your personality while still looking natural. Here are some tips on how to do your makeup like a Southern belle:
1. Start with a clean face. Wash your face with a gentle cleanser and moisturize with a light lotion or oil. This will help create a smooth canvas for your makeup.
2. Apply foundation evenly using a damp sponge or brush. Start from the center of your face and blend outwards. Be sure to cover any blemishes or dark spots.
3. Use powder to set your foundation and concealer in place. Add a touch of color with bronzer or blush on the apples of your cheeks. For extra coverage, dust some translucent powder over your T-zone (forehead, nose, chin).
4. Fill in your eyebrows using an angled brow brush and powder or pencil eyebrow color that matches your hair color (or one shade lighter). Brush the hairs up and outward for a flattering shape.
5 . Line your upper lash line with black eyeliner and extend it slightly past the outer corner of your eye for a cat-eye look . For added drama , use waterproof mascara on both top and bottom lashes . Curl them first for even more lift . Finally , add false lashes if desired .
