How the warm-tone daily makeup was done, step by step

My makeup and hair were done by designer Heeah, who first carefully checked my skin tone and type. I'm warm-toned, so we went with a natural, not-too-heavy but bright look 😍 She layered everything carefully from basic skincare to base makeup!👍🏻 And she kept checking the blush color as she went, which I really appreciated!!🥰

Hair and makeup with designer Heeah took about 90 minutes ✨ Funnily enough, we turned out to have the same MBTI! We chatted easily the whole time and the makeup session flew by 🫶

Anti-swelling tea, iced tea, or coffee — I sipped anti-swelling tea while getting my makeup done 😚

Designer Heeah recommended a blush shade that suited me really well! The apricot color was so pretty I'll definitely have to buy it 😍

She also gave me touch-up cream and cotton swabs to take home. Designer Heeah worked fast and really understood what I wanted and the vibe I was going for, so the finished makeup suited me perfectly — I was even happier with the whole experience.

She checked my hair style carefully too, then gave me a bit of volume at the top with natural waves~!

Highly recommend designer Heeah at Comma Hair & Makeup ❤️

After: the finished natural look with apricot blush and glowy base

After shot of the finished daily makeup

After the daily makeup, my features looked natural but well-defined 🫶 The eyeliner was drawn to match my eye shape with a soft flick at the outer corner, and the lashes were subtle, not overdone ☺️ The cheek blush was a fluffy pink and apricot mix, paired with a pink lip — I was so satisfied!!!!💖

I prefer glowy makeup, so she brought out the glow in my face nicely, and my brows were done in a natural brown for an overall natural finish 🥰

If you want makeup that suits your own vibe, I'd recommend Comma Hair & Makeup ✨
