6 Makeup Tips To Look Like A Professional Instagram Model

If you're like me, always complaining about how you look in selfies or pictures, don't worry. You're beautiful and photogenic. Most of us feel intimidated every time we see Instagram models and celebrities portraying their amazing photos.

Models, celebrities, and influencers know how to smile, look self-assured, stay current on makeup and skincare trends, and show their best features.

Besides, they know how to use makeup to look even more appealing in photos, even if it takes more effort and time than your daily beauty routine.  

Fortunately, we will deliver the best makeup tips to look like a professional Instagram model.

1. Use Foundation

Your skin is a vital element in a picture. That's why it's crucial to achieve a flawless complexion, especially if you have acne, dark spots, and uneven tone.

Therefore, start by applying a full coverage foundation like MOONSHOT Micro Setting Fit Cushion SPF50+ PA++. This weightless, semi-matte foundation promptly evens out the skin without stickiness.

Don't forget to cover dark circles under the eyes with a highlighting concealer like THE SAEM Cover Perfection Tip Concealer SPF28 PA++. 

Concealers are excellent for adding more glow to the skin, making you look younger with fuller cheekbones.

2. Use Eye Primer

Suppose you want to boost eyeshadow's colours and make them last throughout your photoshoot. In that case, we recommend using concealer as a primer on the lids.

Concealers allow the pigment in the eyeshadows to be absorbed and remain in place. This makeup tip makes eyeshadows colours pop up with abundant shades.

3. Focus on the Right Colours

Wearing the proper shades for your skin tone, eyes, and hair colour is vital. When you consider which colours are ideal for you, it's easier to look flawless and prettier. For instance:

• For cold skin tones, wear deep purples, pink, lavender, emerald, and blues
• For warm skin tones, use peach, coral, amber, browns, yellow, and warm reds
• For neutral skin tones, try light pink, jade green, black, navy, and cobalt blue

Remember, the key to looking beautiful is to avoid wearing all colours at once. Instead, use these tones individually and make sure to combine them with your outfit.

4. Contour your Face

When the face looks flat, with no angles in the photos, it's time to sculpt it with blush powder and a brush.

Try your best to give your face an angular shape. Also, add plenty of colours to prevent your face from looking pale, unhealthy, and tired in the pictures.

We recommend using TOO COOL FOR SCHOOL Art Class By Rodin Shading. This contouring kit comes in three shades, so you can:

• Add shadow to the hairline
• Highlight deep set eyes
• Create a high nose bridge
• Create a V line

You can use this contour kit to sculpt and contour your face, collarbones, and abdominal area. It's suitable for paler to medium skin tones.

5. Prefer Matte Lipstick

Instagram models usually prefer matte lipsticks when taking photos. Beauty experts always recommend moisturised and exfoliated lips. Then apply concealer to even out the lips and then use lipstick like MEMEBOX I'm Meme Tic Toc Tint Lip Cashmere for a perfect version of your lips.

The I'm Meme Tic Toc Tint Lip Cashmere comes in eleven shades, so it's easier to find the optimal colour for your skin tone. This matte lip tint has a highly-pigmented formula. Its creamy texture applies effortlessly and covers your lips perfectly.

Lastly, put on a touch of Clear from 3CE Plumping Lips to make your lips look beautifully soft and keep the colour.

6. Intensify your Eyes

The eyes are fascinating features. If you want to look like an Instagram celebrity, you need to make your eyes look bigger, brighter, and more attractive.

Here are some easy-to-follow tips to make your eyes more appealing:

• Add a touch of brown shadow like BR407 Love is Sand Castle from ETUDE HOUSE Look At My Eyes New in the eyes' outer corners and below the waterline.
• Use an eyelash serum such as ETUDE HOUSE My Lash Serum to help your eyelashes look brighter, bigger, and awake.
• To add a dramatic expression, don't forget to curl your eyelashes with SHU UEMURA Eyelash Curler. If you want your eyelashes fuller, apply two coats of INNISFREE Skinny Microcara Zero
