In order to try out a galaxy makeup look, we suggest you start with something more basic. You can take inspiration from the 'starry night' theme and paint the same on the bridge of your nose, also covering your cheeks, here's how: 

  1. Ditch your browns, opt for a colour palette with more cosmic colours like pink, blue, yellow and start applying the same in an upward fashion 
  2. Start with a lighter shade like yellow, then blend it upwards with pink and then blue. Make sure you are blending the three colours well so much that they stand out but also appear as a unit 
  3. Once done, take an eyeliner brush and start drawing t or x or even just simple dots to create a starry look 
  4. Make sure you are spacing out the stars evenly as clustered ones may take attention off the shades underneath 
  5. Once you are done drawing the stars (preferably with white eyeliner), take some shimmer spray and sprinkle some onto your face
  6. A shimmer or spray highlighter is what completes the galaxy look because just like stars, you too wanna shine right? 

You must remember that galaxy makeup look seems too easy-peasy but it is only when you start blending different colours especially black and silver for the cosmic effect that the job gets tougher. This is why we suggest instead of starting off straight onto your face, try painting this look onto the palm of your hand. Once you have done that, when you apply it on your face, it will come off as nothing but pure perfection.
