Concealer

First of all, you need to moisturize your face to give it a supple look, just like a baby’s. The desired complexion is radiant and matte. So, opt for a lightweight, hydrating concealer that blends effortlessly on your skin, masking blemishes and redness. Apply the concealer on parts of your face that show signs of aging, acne, or puffy patches. Use creamy concealers for undereye areas to hide dark circles easily. But side with a liquid formula for the rest of your face.

Foundation

You usually put foundation all over your face in all kinds of makeup. But not in this one. You want to avoid a cakey look, so dot your foundation on areas of your face that need it the most. Blend it using your fingers for a more dewy and natural makeup look. In fact, it is better to use a CC cream instead of foundation or BB cream. This helps you capture the dewy look of a baby. Blend from the center of the face towards the outer edges to achieve a bright face.

Powder

Now that you have the base in place, it is time to seal it with a powder. The powder not only helps achieve the matte look, but also keeps the makeup in place. It also conceals freckles perfectly. If you don’t want to dull the shininess of the base with a powder, apply the powder along your jaw line and edge of the forehead. This will prevent your hair from sticking to your face.

Cheekbones

Babies have pinkish and lavender cheeks that a bronzer or a regular blush cannot capture. However, a lavender-tinted blush can capture its essence slightly. You can also use a pink tint and apply it on your skin with your fingers for a natural look. Remember to opt for cream blushes as they provide a dewy look. Blend the product with a brush using straight strokes from the center towards the ear. You must remember that the blush should be barely there. Otherwise, you would look like an asphyxiated blue baby. You can use a sheer or shimmer blush for added shine.

Quick Tip

You can spray some face mist on your face to freshen up the baby face look and reduce the cakiness.

Eyebrows

You must know that babies hardly ever have straight, thin brows. But for Baby Face makeup, you also do not want a bushy, unkempt brow. So here is the trick – if you have thin, well-tended eyebrows, use mascara on your eyebrows to fluff them up a little. Then use a pencil of the same color to draw around the border of the eyebrows to make it appear thicker. If you already have thick brows, use an eyebrow comb to arrange your eyebrows in a neat shape. The arch of the eyebrow in Baby Face makeup should not be more or less straight and must not be too long. So use your tools to make your eyebrow appear as natural as possible.

Eyeshadow

You do not use any eyeliner in Baby Face makeup because kids hardly ever have thick eyelashes. But to give your tired eyelids a lift, you can use eyeshadow. Use a natural eyeshadow, a color that best suits your skin color. A pink shimmer eyeshadow adds an angelic touch to the face. This is for the eyelid. For under the eye, use tiny dots of brown eyeshadow on the outer edge of the eye and blend. On the inner edge, a tiny dab of champagne glitter looks nice and charming.

Baby Lips

Moisturize your lips regularly to achieve baby-soft lips. You may also use lip oils and hydrating lip masks to restore the natural moisture of your lips and make them plump. Start the lip makeup by exfoliating your lips with a lip scrub or brushing them softly with a lip brush to remove the flaky skin. Then apply a pink or orange lip tint on your scrubbed bare lips.

Quick Tip

Use a blend of sugar and honey to scrub your lips. It gently exfoliates the skin without drying and helps you maintain a baby-soft pout.
