When it comes to makeup, there are three kinds of people we can religiously follow: Pat McGrath, Kim Kardashian, and a female flight attendant. Yes, a flight attendant, because no matter how many hours they work, their hair appears perfectly coiffed, their skin well polished, and their makeup looks perfectly natural. So if you are one of them who always wondered how air hostesses keep their makeup looking good in the long hauls, then you are at the right place. With show-stopping skin, red lip, and smudge-free eyes, we show you how to do an air hostess makeup in easy steps.

1. Natural Look:

The biggest and the not-so-easiest makeup trend of the season, the barely-there, fresh-faced look is everything you’ve dreamed of and more…

Cleansing:

For a minimal but glowy skin, start your routine by cleansing with Dr. Nick Lowe Purifying Foaming Cleanser. This gentle face wash magically gets rid of dirt, without making problems worse and leaves your skin looking refreshed, soft and youthful.

Moisturize:

Once done, moisturize your skin with Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer Broad Spectrum Spf 20. Perfect for all skin types, this moisturizer soaks into the skin and keeps your skin soft all day long, without feeling greasy. Plus, it creates that youthful, healthy glow you have been looking for. Win-win situation!

Primer:

The no makeup look relies on a completely smooth base. So in order to achieve that, pat on a face primer like Too Faced Primed & Poreless Skin Smoothing Face Primer and you will immediately notice your skin tightening. Moreover, this doesn’t clog pores or cause any breakouts that will allow your makeup to go on smoothly.

Foundation:

Chant this when you are working with your foundation – “less is more”.

For that healthy, natural and almost-airbrushed effect, take Diorskin Nude Natural Glow Radiant Fluid Foundation Spf 15 and stipple it on your neck and face with a damp sponge. Even better, this foundation actually improves your skin over time and helps amp up your radiance. Score.

Remember: The key step here is not to overdo it [with makeup]. You don’t want your foundation to melt.

Concealer:

Once your foundation is set, apply Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place Flawless Wear Concealer, pick up a brush, and blend it onto your blemishes to give a flawless appearance to your skin. The concealer not only covers your blemishes well but also lasts long and is easy in application.

Blush:

For a fresh and dewy effect, look for a warm peach shade. We recommend Josie Maran Cream Blush in Sunset, which will create a soft, flirty and fresh look. Just take a blushing brush and sweep the blusher onto the hollows of the cheeks.

Rather than reapplying your makeup, refresh your skin and makeup with a lightweight setting spray, like Jurlique Rosewater Balancing Mist Intense.

2. Naked Eyes:

Master the following naked-eye makeup that’s guaranteed to turn heads.

Apply your under eye concealer to get rid of wrinkles, redness, dark circles and help achieve flawless looking eyes. You can skip the eyeshadow and enhance your eyes by wearing a foundation. Next, apply a creamy gel-liner, like Maybelline New Lasting Drama Gel Liner on your upper waterline. Finish by curling your lashes (you can also skip the mascara) and comb lashes and groom your eyebrows with tinted brow gel instead. We prefer Benefit Gimme Brow.

3. Red Pout:

For most of the cabin crew members, red lipstick is a signature look. So, follow the tutorial below to achieve a perfect red lip!

Since dry lips won’t hold color for long, begin with moisturizing your lips. Apply a chap stick, and blot the excess with a tissue paper. Now, outline your lips with a matching lip liner to keep your red pout looking sharp. Next, fill in your lips with the lip liner first, and follow this by applying your favorite red shade evenly. We picked, CK One Pure Color Lipstick in Must Do. For a warmer and fading-out shade, blend your lipstick from the center of your lips. Once applied, pat the concealer around your lips. Lastly, reapply your red lipstick for a lasting effect.
