Samantha Akkineni’s Instagram is chock-full of makeup inspiration, especially if you love glowy, dewy skin and dramatic brows. The one takeaway you don’t want to miss? Good skincare serves as the perfect base for flawless makeup. The actor is ready to try anything in the name of balanced, clear skin—highlights include using a steam machine to clear out pores, a face roller to improve drainage, and a microcurrent tool to tighten. Here’s how she accentuates her skin and her features with makeup.

1) Find a lipstick shade you love

Akkineni’s most loved is NARS Walkyrie, a warm-conditioned, medium-dull rose shade with a matte completion. “No substitution discovered… longest relationship I’ve had with a cosmetics item,” she expounded on the item she’d been utilizing for quite a long time. When you have a naked pink shade that works for you, you’ll realize it’ll work with whatever eye or cheek cosmetics you have at hand.

2) Keep your eye shape in mind while applying eyeshadow

To work out where to apply what on your tops, it is ideal to initially consider top shape and size just as which bearing to point your brush or liner to highlight your eye shape. Since Akkineni has more modest tops, her cosmetics craftsman Sadhna Singh has this stunt: “Apply eyeshadow upwards and not downwards to make your eyes look enormous.” For best outcomes, apply your haziest eyeshadow conceal at the base (nearest to your lash line), at that point medium shadow, and afterward the lightest close to the forehead bone.

3) Use highlighter wherever you want to accentuate  

Akkineni loves a glowy base, which she complements with etched cheekbones. However, she doesn’t simply apply highlighter there. All things being equal, she swipes a cream highlighter on the pieces of the face where the light normally hits, as down her nose, on the internal corners of her eyes, across her temple and on the forehead bone. Yet, how she forestall looking excessively tacky or oily? Singh likes to clean on a clear powder (especially on zones like the T-zone) on the skin prior to applying establishment.

4) Play with fun textures

Utilizing shine on your eyes can truly feature and emphasize them. The gleaming surface keeps a generally monochromatic look from feeling level. You can reproduce it by squeezing an eyeshadow conceal across the entire cover, and afterward applying an unmistakable demulcent, oil or even Vaseline on top for a sparkling completion that truly says something.

5) Fill in your brows

For super characterized temples like Akkineni’s, underscore your eyebrow where it begins with a forehead pencil, and afterward utilize a spoolie brush to diffuse it up through them. At that point, utilize a forehead pencil or a gel to make little flicking movements all through the holes to fill them in. To get the shiny, smooth completion that the entertainer loves, clear it a temple gel to set it.
