How To Hide Facial Hair With Makeup in 7 Easy Steps
While most of us were busy taking care of shaving legs or waxing underarms, the struggle of dealing with facial hair came knocking at our doorsteps unannounced. Having facial hair is common and there’s nothing wrong in embracing it gracefully. However, if you want to hide your peach fuzz without tweezing or shaving half of your face, we have an easier alternative for you. In this article, we’ll discuss how to hide facial hair with makeup. All you need to do is follow these simple yet effective steps to use makeup to hide your facial hair without any added hassles or pain.
1. Primer
Before applying makeup to hide facial hair, make sure your skin is prepped well with a primer. Primers help create a smooth canvas for the rest of your face makeup. Try the Maybelline Fit Me Primer to fill your pores, create an even texture, and help your makeup last long.
2. Foundation
Once your skin is prepped well, let’s move to our tutorial on how to cover facial hair with makeup. Start with a foundation to get an even complexion and smooth texture. Take the required amount and blend it effectively on the areas where facial hair is visible, moving the brush or blender in the direction of hair growth. Allow it to sit smoothly and apply a little extra to the hairy areas of your face than usual. This will help to create sufficient coverage. You can go for the Maybelline Fit Me Matte + Poreless Foundation that comes in various shades and finishes to choose from.
3. Concealer
Use a concealer to hide your facial hair and highlight your beautiful features. Go for the Maybelline Fit Me Concealer and apply it on the high points of your face such as the bridge of your nose, top of your cheekbones and center of your forehead. Want to know how to hide upper lip hair with makeup? The answer is concealer. For a natural yet snatched look, apply the concealer using the facelifting technique. (You can now find your perfect concealer shade with the Maybelline Foundation Finder tool.)
4. Contour
Define and sculpt your face by contouring your jawline and cheekbones. This will make your face look slimmer and prevent your facial hair from creating any shadow on your face.
5. Compact Powder
Although you have applied a little extra foundation to hide your facial hair, you wouldn’t want your makeup to look cakey or oily. So, blur the pores and control shine, oil and sweat by using the Maybelline Fit Me Loose Finishing Powder. This compact powder will give you a smooth and flawless complexion and keep your base makeup in place.
6. Blush
Draw the attention away from your facial hair by colouring your cheeks. Give your skin a naturally flushed look by trying peach or rose shades from the Maybelline Fit Me Mono Blush collection. Apply it well on the apples of your cheeks to make your skin look fresh and poppy.
7. Highlighter
Amp up your glamour quotient and add a dazzling shine and glow to your skin with the Maybelline Facestudio Master Chrome Metallic Highlighter. Begin by applying it on your cheekbones in an upward motion, and then, apply it to the bridge and tip of your nose and on your cupid’s bow.
Once you’ve completed your face makeup and successfully covered your facial hair, finish the rest of your eye and lip makeup:
• Start your eye makeup by shaping your eyebrows. Try the Maybelline New York’s Define & Blend Brow Pencil for some fine, natural-looking strokes.
• Next, let your eyes do the talking by using the brightest shades from the Maybelline New City Mini Eyeshadow palette for vibrant eyes.
• Intensify your eye makeup by creating a winged eyeliner look with the Maybelline Colossal Bold Liner.
