Whether you're just starting with makeup or want to refresh your technique, this step-by-step guide covers everything from skincare prep to the finishing spray — with product recommendations from the Lollis Pakistan collection that won't break the bank.
Step 1: Skincare First
Good makeup always starts with good skin. Before any product touches your face, cleanse and moisturise. If your skin is oily, use a lightweight, oil-free moisturiser. If it's dry, something more nourishing. Let your moisturiser absorb for at least 2 minutes before moving on.
Step 2: Primer
Primer is the secret weapon most beginners skip — but it's what makes your makeup last all day, especially in Pakistan's heat. Apply the Lollis Skin Primer Matte Finish or Primer Base all over your face after moisturiser. Wait 1 minute before moving on. For oily skin, focus on the T-zone (forehead, nose and chin).
Step 3: Foundation or BB Cream
For everyday looks, the Lollis BB Cream gives light, effortless coverage. For more coverage, use the Ultra HD Foundation or All Matt Plus Foundation. Blend with a damp sponge for the most natural result — dotting product on your forehead, nose, cheeks, and chin, then blending outward.
Step 4: Concealer
Dab the Lollis Collagen Concealer under your eyes and on any spots or redness. Blend gently with your ring finger — it's the weakest finger on your hand, so you won't pull or irritate the delicate skin around the eyes.
Step 5: Set With Powder
Lock in your base with the Lollis Matte Powder or Loose Powder. Focus on the T-zone if you're oily. This step prevents your foundation from moving throughout the day and gives your skin a smooth, airbrushed finish.
Step 6: Blush, Bronzer and Highlighter
This is where your face comes to life:
- Bronzer (Lollis Bronzer): sweep lightly along the temples and under the cheekbones for a sun-kissed warmth.
- Blush (Lollis Blush On or Sweet Cheeks Liquid Blush): smile gently and apply to the apples of your cheeks, blending upward toward the temples.
- Highlighter (Lollis Highlighter or Stick Highlighter): dab on cheekbones, brow bone, and the tip of the nose for a radiant glow.
Step 7: Eyes
Eyebrows: Use the Eyebrow Professional Set to define and fill brows with light, feathery strokes. Well-groomed brows frame the entire face.
Eyeshadow: The Lollis Nude Eyeshadow Palette or Warm Nudes Palette are perfect for beginners — the shades are flattering on Pakistani skin tones and easy to blend. Apply a light shade all over the lid, a medium tone in the crease, and a darker shade on the outer corner.
Eyeliner: Line with the Ultra Black Eyeliner for a classic look. For beginners, start with a thin line close to the lashes and build from there.
Mascara: Finish with the Waterproof Mascara or False Lash Effect Mascara for bold, open eyes. Wiggle the wand at the base of your lashes and sweep upward.
Step 8: Lips
Choose your mood:
- Natural everyday: Lip Care balm + Lip Oil Tint for a sheer, hydrated look.
- Soft colour: Plump Up Lip Booster in a nude shade for a glossy, plump effect.
- Bold look: Matte Liquid Lipstick or Matte Lipstick in a rich red, berry, or deep plum.
Step 9: Setting Spray — Don't Skip This!
The final step that ties everything together. Spritz the Lollis Makeup Fixing Spray (Green Tea for a refreshing finish, Collagen for extra hydration) from 20–30 cm away. It locks your makeup in place for 8+ hours — essential in Pakistan's heat.
