TIMES JAZIRAH, JAKARTA – Beauty enthusiast Mustika Riana has shared a fresh, easy-to-follow makeup tutorial perfect for college students. This makeup look is simple yet elegant, offering a budget-friendly solution for those looking to look fresh throughout their day at college.

The girl begins by applying a primer, a key step in achieving a smooth base. The primer she uses is silicone-based, which helps to minimize pores and create a flawless canvas for the rest of the makeup. She recommends applying only a small amount to avoid overuse, ensuring the product blends well into the skin.

For foundation, Mustika uses a lightweight, liquid formula that offers a natural yet effective coverage. She explains that the foundation gives her skin a smooth finish while still allowing it to breathe.

The light coverage helps to even out her complexion, covering minor blemishes without looking heavy. She blends it evenly with a beauty sponge for a seamless finish.

Next, she moves on to concealer, using a shade that has a yellow undertone. This helps to brighten her under-eye area and counteract any dark circles, giving her face a more awake and refreshed look. She advises applying only a small amount of concealer to avoid cakey areas, focusing on the areas that need the most attention.

For a natural flush of color, Mustika uses a duo makeup stick that provides both blush and eyeshadow in one product. She applies the cream blush to her cheeks for a soft, healthy glow and uses the same product as a subtle eyeshadow, ensuring the look remains cohesive and effortless. She suggests using cream products as a base to make the makeup last longer, especially during busy days at college.

To set the makeup and ensure it lasts throughout the day, the girl applies loose powder, taking care to smooth out any creases under her eyes before applying the powder. This helps to lock in the makeup and prevent any shine or smudging.

For the eyebrows, Mustika uses a combination of products to fill in and define her brows, achieving a natural yet defined look. She suggests finding a product that allows for easy blending to create the perfect brow shape.

For the eyes, she keeps the look simple and subtle with neutral eyeshadows. She focuses on using soft, neutral tones that complement her complexion, adding just enough color to enhance her eyes. She finishes the eye makeup with mascara, which helps to open up the eyes and add volume to the lashes.

Finally, Mustika adds a soft lip color, applying it in an ombre style for a natural, youthful finish. She believes this look is perfect for a busy day at college or even for casual outings after class.

Though her makeup tutorial, she concludes by reminding viewers that looking great doesn’t require a big budget. By using affordable, quality products, it’s easy to achieve a fresh and long-lasting makeup look without breaking the bank. (*)
