How to Apply
Now, let's get into the nitty-gritty of how to apply these makeup essentials to transform into Daki:
1.
Foundation: Begin with a clean, moisturized face. Use a makeup sponge or brush to apply your chosen foundation evenly. Start from the center of your face and blend outwards, ensuring a seamless finish. Pay special attention to areas that might need more coverage, like blemishes or uneven skin tone.
2.
Setting Powder: After applying your foundation, lightly dust the translucent setting powder over your face. This step is crucial for setting your makeup and preventing it from melting or creasing throughout the day. Focus on the T-zone (forehead, nose, and chin) to control shine.
3.
Blush: To mimic Daki's youthful rosy cheeks, smile to locate the apples of your cheeks. Using a blush brush, apply the blush in a gentle, upward sweeping motion. Blend it out towards your temples for a natural flush of color.
4.
Eyeshadow: Daki's eyes are a central feature of her look. Start with the lightest shade from your eyeshadow palette and apply it to your eyelids as a base. Use a medium-toned shade in the crease of your eyelids to create depth. Finally, apply the darkest shade along your upper lash line and blend it slightly upwards for that smoky allure. Don't forget to blend well to avoid harsh lines.
5.
Eyeliner: For Daki's intense gaze, use a black eyeliner pencil or gel liner. Begin by lining your upper lash line, getting as close to the lashes as possible. If you want to intensify the look, you can also line your lower lash line, but keep it thin and close to the lash roots.
6.
False Eyelashes: Applying false lashes can be a bit tricky, but it's worth it for Daki's mesmerizing eyes. Trim the lashes to fit your eye shape if necessary. Apply a thin layer of lash glue to the lash band and let it sit for a few seconds until it becomes tacky. Using tweezers or a lash applicator, carefully place the false lashes as close to your natural lash line as possible. Press them gently to ensure they're secure.
7.
Mascara: After applying false lashes, use mascara on your lower lashes to create a balanced look. A single coat should suffice, as you want to avoid clumps.
8.
Lipstick: Finish off your transformation by applying the deep red lipstick to your lips. Use a lip brush for precise application, ensuring that you stay within your natural lip line. Blot your lips with a tissue and reapply if you want a more intense color.
Remember, practice makes perfect! Don't be discouraged if it takes a few tries to get Daki's look just right. Experiment with different techniques and adjust the intensity to match your preferences. And most importantly, have fun channeling your inner Daki while you're at it!
