FACE |
|
|
| Foundation /
Concealer
|
After moisturizing, apply concealer to the inner corners of the eyes and underneath to cover dark circles. Apply a small amount of concealer to the eyelid for a base foundation before applying shadow.
Use a foundation shade as close to your natural skin tone as possible and apply to any other areas of the face that need evening out. Blend well.
|
| Blush |
Use a pink blush that compliments your skin tone for a healthy glow. Apply your blush in the style that best suits your face. Round faces look better with blush applied to the apple of the cheek, while narrower faces can take blush on the cheekbone. Brush a touch of blush to forehead and chin to soften a wide forehead or pointy chin.
|
| EYES |
|
|
| Eyelid |
Apply a mauve powder shadow across the entire lid and into the crease.
|
| Crease |
Apply a wine or berry shadow to the crease from corner to corner and on the outer corners of lid. Lightly push brush against lid to blend the two colors.
|
| Hilite |
Apply a pale pink shadow underneath the arch of the brow and to outer edge of eyes.
|
| Eyeliner |
Choose a light gray pencil to lightly line lower lashes. Using a dry brush, sweep a light layer of the same shadow used on the eyelid under the lower lashes. It shouldn’t look perfect or like liner. This is only to accent the gray liner.
For upper lashes, dip a wet brush into the same powder shadow used for the crease. Apply a thin line to the top lash line, from corner to corner. Use a light touch and get the color in between the lashes. You can try dotting your way across the lashline and then going back and filling in to create one continuous line. Repeat until your lashline is nicely filled in, without allowing the line to get too heavy. Then, thicken the line a little at the outer half of the lashline to add glamour and widen eyes.
|
Brows |
Use a brow wax, with a small brush to shape and fill in, or pencil. Start by defining the arch and then fill in the rest as necessary.
|
Lashes |
Curl lashes and coat two or three times with a black, lengthening mascara. |
LIPS |
|
|
|
To get glass-smooth lips, try brushing them very gently with an old, soft toothbrush. Then apply petroleum jelly and allow it to soak in for 30 or more minutes.
Choose a matching lipliner and lipstick in a wine or red berry that compliments your blush. Apply one coat of the lipstick and blot with tissue, then apply a second coat. Then, line the lips if necessary. Cover your lips with a coat or two of clear gloss.
