When you are working on a matte look, you should make sure that your skin is hydrated and moisturised. You can bump that up with a hydrating facial mist before you starts putting your primer, or put on a sleeping mask before you sleep so that you could achieve that glowing look when you wake up the next day.
A good primer is important for creating a smooth base for foundation. Apply your primer on your forehead, cheekbones and chin. Using the right primer can combat against discoloration and excess oil, as well as brighten your skin up.
Add “dots” of concealer in the darkened area on your orbital bone all the way up to the temple and both side of your nose. Next, use a small fluffy brush and soft blend away the concealer.

(In the drama she can be seen using Laneige BB Cushion SPF 50+).
Apply a light matte brown eyeshadow to your crease and use windshield wiper motions to soften any harsh lines. The purpose is the eyeshadow is to add a natural depth to the eyes and appears less flat.
