Mob wife make-up step by step

Strong makeup can make us look older. So how to do mob wife make-up without such an effect? We start, of course, with good care. It’s no secret that well-groomed skin is the best base for our make-up. About ten minutes after applying care products, we move on to make-up.

1. We apply our favorite foundation. We focus on moisturizing products that do not emphasize wrinkles.
2. Using a small amount of concealer, we hide possible skin imperfections and dark circles under the eyes.
3. We set the skin makeup with transparent powder.
4. We contour the face using bronzer.
5. If we like pink, we apply it to the cheeks.
6. A mandatory element of mob wife make-up is a distinctive highlighter. We apply it to the cheekbones.
7. We apply eye shadow base or concealer to the eyelids.
8. Then we put a beige shadow on them.
9. We mark the crease of the eyelid with a brown shadow.
10. We also apply brown shadow or favorite pigment to the moving eyelid.
11. Use a pencil or eyeliner to draw expressive lines.

Mob wife make-up, i.e. expressive lips

It’s not over yet. A very important element of mob wife makeup are expressive lips. In this case, we choose bold red or slightly more subdued browns. First, outline your lips with your favorite lip liner. We advise you to use a certain makeup trick promoted by, among others, Kim Kardashian’s makeup artist – Mario Dedivanovic. First, we mainly focus on the cupid’s bow. We gently outline it with a contour pencil. Then we outline the center of the lower lip and blend it slightly. Finally, apply lipstick to the center of the lips. And that’s it!
