Cover Girl offers an inexpensive line of makeup to meet just about every budget and beauty care need. Applying Cover Girl makeup only takes a few minutes of your time and, if you do it correctly, the results can be beautiful.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Cover Girl liquid makeup
  • Cover Girl concealer
  • Cover Girl eyeliner
  • Cover Girl eyeshadow
  • Cover Girl mascara
  • Cover Girl lipstick
  • Cover Girl pressed powder
  1. Step 1

    Choose a shade of Cover Girl liquid makeup that matches your skin tone to achieve a natural, flawless look. To apply Cover Girl foundation, simply dab the liquid onto your face and blend it evenly using your fingers or a makeup sponge. Pay special attention to the areas around your hairline and neck to avoid a mask-like appearance.

  2. Step 2

    Apply a thin layer of Cover Girl concealer to mask any blemishes or imperfections. Choose a concealer that is slightly lighter than your natural skin tone and use it sparingly to cover dark areas under your eyes and acne.

  3. Step 3

    Apply Cover Girl eyeliner as closely as possible to the lash-line. Hold the eyeliner firmly in your hand and apply light pressure as you glide the pencil across the delicate skin beneath your eyes.

  4. Step 4

    Apply a blend of Cover Girl eye shadows that compliment your eye color. For best results, apply three complimentary shades in light, medium, and dark tones. Dust the lightest shade over the entire eyelid, blending toward the eyebrows. Next, apply the medium shade over the bottom half of the lid. Finally, apply the darkest color to the crease of the eyelid and use the pad of your index finger to blend the colors together.

  5. Step 5

    Apply a thin coat of Cover Girl mascara to lengthen and plump your eyelashes. Use a steady hand when applying the mascara to avoid transferring the liquid to your eyelids and ruining your eye shadow. If you do make a mistake, try to dab the mascara with a soft tissue before it dries.

  6. Step 6

    Choose a blush or bronzer to accentuate your cheekbones. Use a powder brush to apply a light dusting of Cover Girl brush or bronzer to the hollows of your cheeks. Use your fingers to blend the color toward the hairline.

  7. Step 7

    Apply Cover Girl lipstick with or without lip liner. The use of lip liner is a matter of personal preference but lipstick is a must-have to complete a beautiful face. Even if you don’t usually wear other makeup, don’t skip the lipstick! Lipstick brightens the smile and draws attention to the mouth when you speak.

  8. Step 8

    Finish the look with a pressed powder that matches your Cover Girl liquid makeup. Gently dust the powder over your face to set the makeup and complete your Cover Girl look!
