If you are anything like me then you may have found yourself in some odd, maybe even high paced situations where you feel the need to do your makeup without using a mirror. You could have been on your way to a date, school, or anywhere you might meet someone and do not want to risk being seen without makeup on. This is perfectly understandable. I always hate ending up in a situation like this because applying makeup without a mirror is risky. Whenever you attempt it you have to take the chance of it looking like you got ready in the dark, which you might as well have done! Although if you follow my tips written below, or in the video above, applying your makeup without a mirror will be a breeze, and not a disaster.
1. Know your face before you apply your makeup. You can do this by at least looking in the mirror once that day so you know where any of your flaws or blemishes are located.
2. Use your hands and imagination to locate the parts of your face you need to apply your makeup. Especially feel for the different parts of your eyelids, cheeks, and lips since those are the parts of your face you can mess up the easiest.
3. When you apply your foundation or concealer use a blending sponge, stippling brush, or foundation brush. Any of these three tools will help you to quickly give your skin a flawless and airbrushed look.
4. To set your face makeup lightly apply a translucent powder. You should used a translucent powder instead of a colored powder to guarantee light coverage. Remember it is very easy to overdo your makeup when you can not even see what you are doing.
5. When it comes to your eye makeup you should keep it simple using colors similar to your skin tone. They will be easy to blend and hard to mess up.
6. Use a retractable eyeliner instead of gel or pencil. This way you do not have to worry about dipping into your eyeliner jar or sharpening your pencil. Also make sure to use smooth and good quality eyeliner. Doing all of this will quicken the application process.
7. Also keep it neutral with your lips. Use a light pink or peach toned gloss, not a lipstick. With a lipstick you never know how the color will turn out, but you apply your lip gloss without a mirror on a daily basis.
8. Lastly finish your look by setting your eyebrows with a clear mascara. You may not have noticed but your eyebrows frame your face and set the tone for your whole look. If they are neat and polished then so is the rest of your look.
Your finished look may not turn out absolutely perfect, but I know it will be perfectly wearable!
