Pre Requisites!
Needless to say, start from the beginning, before applying any sort of cheerleading makeup to the face, cleaning is important with a reputed company cleanser as per the skin tone, followed by toning and moisturizing. This provides the basic for all sorts of makeup.
Tip
Cheerleading makeup is known to be heavy makeup. It demands to be bold and visible so that they can be seen prominently from a distance.
Materials Required
An oil free foundation. Avoid oil based foundation because that can lead you to sweat while performing. Use a foundation similar to your skin tone. Do not use a foundation darker than your skin shade; you may end up with an unnatural orange color. Apply it evenly onto your face to cover the uneven skin tone.
If you have blemishes, then just a foundation won't serve the purpose. In such a case use concealer. Apply it over the blemish part and dab it with your finger till it is evenly spread onto your face in order to prevent the caked up look.
Now go for blush. Look for a warm shade that will add pop of colour to the apple of your cheeks.
Apply a translucent face powder evenly. Choose a shade similar to your skin tone.
You can apply bronze so as to contour your face and add shimmer.
For the eyes, make them look big. Bigger the eyes, half the beauty added to your makeup. Apply a kajal over the eye lids and white kajals on the lower lids. And then, just below them, give a touch of the kohl lightly.
Now, apply an eye shadow of your choice, though shimmering gold or that of your skin tone, is best to use.
Come for the eye liner. Gel based eye liners are recommended as they are smudge free.
Apply mascara. Wiggling the mascara wand at the base of your eyelashes will enhance the voluminous look. You can also use artificial eye lashes.
Come to your lips. Go for pink shades or red. European red or cherry red are fantastic to define your lips. Apply a thick and even coat of lip color. Do not bloat. If it dries, apply a gel based lip gloss for added shimmer. However for that extra factor, you can use some bronze into the middle of your lips.
These are quick to do steps for cheerleading make up.
