Flawless Base with a Matte Finish
Start with a clean, moisturized face. Apply a matte primer to ensure your make-up stays in place and gives you a flawless finish. Use a full-coverage foundation to create a smooth base, and set it with a translucent powder to keep shine at bay.
Bold Brows
Bold, defined brows are essential for the street style look. Use a brow pencil or pomade to fill in your brows, following their natural shape but making them slightly thicker and more defined. Set them with a clear or tinted brow gel for a polished finish.
Graphic Eyeliner
Graphic eyeliner is a hallmark of street style make-up. Experiment with bold lines, sharp angles, and unexpected shapes to make a statement. You can create a dramatic wing, double lines, or geometric shapes around your eyes.
How to Achieve Graphic Eyeliner:
- Prep Your Lids: Apply an eyeshadow primer to prevent smudging and ensure your eyeliner stays put.
- Choose Your Eyeliner: Use a highly pigmented gel or liquid eyeliner for precise lines.
- Create Your Design: Start with a classic wing and build from there, adding additional lines or shapes as desired. Don't be afraid to get creative.
- Clean Up Edges: Use a cotton swab dipped in makeup remover to clean up any mistakes and sharpen the edges.
Smoky Eyes with a Twist
Combine your graphic eyeliner with a smoky eye for added drama. Use dark eyeshadows like black, charcoal, or deep brown to create a smoky effect, blending well to avoid harsh lines.
How to Achieve Smoky Eyes:
- Base Color: Apply a neutral base color all over your lid.
- Crease Definition: Use a dark eyeshadow in the crease, blending it outwards and upwards.
- Lower Lash Line: Apply the same dark shadow along your lower lash line and blend.
- Inner Corner Highlight: Add a touch of a lighter, shimmery shade to the inner corners of your eyes to brighten the look.
Statement Lips
Finish your street style make-up with a bold lip color. Opt for deep reds, dark purples, or even black to make a statement. Matte or semi-matte finishes work best for this look.
How to Achieve Statement Lips:
- Prep Your Lips: Exfoliate and moisturize your lips to create a smooth canvas.
- Lip Liner: Use a lip liner that matches your lipstick to outline your lips and prevent feathering.
- Apply Lipstick: Fill in your lips with your chosen bold color. Use a lip brush for precise application.
- Set the Look: Blot with a tissue and apply a second layer of lipstick for longer-lasting color.
