Step
1: Clean
Face; ALWAYS start with having a clean face. It is important that
your skin is clean to prevent breakouts, clogged pores, rashes, or any other
allergic reactions. This way you can start off with a clean slate. Or as I like
to call it...a clean "Canvas"
Step
2: Moisturizer; Make
sure you start off with having a good moisturizer. This way you can prevent any
flakes from having dry skin, as well as protect your skin if your moisturizer
includes a sunblock. If you want to make sure your moisturizer is being applied
correctly or all over you can use a specific foundation brush to make sure you
don't miss a spot.
Step
3: Foundation, Concealer,
Pressed Powder; Now these steps will not apply to everyone. Especially if
you are between the ages of 11-15 your skin may not need a foundation. However,
even those with clear skin will apply a foundation in order to have an even
skin tone and have that flawless look. It is important when choosing a
foundation that you choose the color that will not make your skin look lighter
then what it is. A good way to test foundation is to do a swatch on the outside
of your hand. Rub it in, and this will show you if your foundation is the right
color or not by how it blends out. As for Concealer make sure it is one shade
lighter then your foundation, in order to apply under your eyes for dark
circles or any blemishes.
DIRECTIONS: Primer
- (if you choose not to use a moisturizer) Get a primer that works best
for you, that will not make your skin oily. This way you can have that fresh
all day look.
Concealer
- Use your concealer as a camouflage for under-eye dark circles,
blemishes, or acne. Apply lightly
Foundation - Start off with shaking your
bottle, this way the foundation is mixed well and ready to be applied. Pour
just a small amount onto the back of your hand using your middle finger,
make-up sponge, or foundation brush. Apply to the center of your face, cheeks,
and T-Zone ( across forehead and down nose). It's important to watch out for
how much you are applying and how you are blending, in order to create that
flawless look. Lines to be cautious of are your hairline and jawline. Also pay
close attention to how your blending around your nose and mouth.
Pressed Powder - Your pressed powder is used as
just that...pressed powder. These are good to have when away from home when in
need of any touch ups. Be sure to apply this immediately after you have applied
your foundation.
Step
4:
Eyeshadow; If this is your first time with applying your eyeshadow DO NOT
worry about doing all the extra steps that come with it. Eyeshadow can be used
in 3 different steps. Lid, Crease, and Highlight. Now a days there are
eyeshadow applications that you can get at your local drugstore that have every
step written down in order for you to create a look. The dark shade is used to
line your upper eyelid, in a very thin line along the upper lashes. The medium
shade is for your crease, and the ligther shade is for the area that is under
your eyebrow. However, do not get discouraged if you want to use a shadow as an
all over shadow you can do that as well. If this is your first time with
applying make-up, I suggest doing just an all over eyeshadow and gradually
teach yourself how to do different techniques as you gradually become familiar
with the product.
DIRECTIONS
Lid, Crease, and Highlight - The easiest way to apply all of these and
merge them together is start from light to dark. Use your eyeshadow brush to
apply your lid, crease, and highlight. BE GENTLE. Their are several different
eyeshadow brushes, but if you are a beginner then pick one eyeshadow brush that
you are comfortable with and gradually graduate to the different brushes.
*5 Easy Tips*
-
#1. A secret to making those
beautiful eyes pop, is to choose a eyeshadow that matches the color of your
eyes. OR! be different, try a contrasting deep dramatic color on a brown, blue,
green, or hazel eye.
#2. Keep
your day look different from your night look. If you work in a professional
setting such as myself, remember to keep it natural during the day and dramatic
for the night. If you want to apply shadow on your brow bone for a day look
remember to use it as your highlighter or use a natural tone.
#3. Shimmer
and Smokey Eye's are fun, however one can cause wrinkles, as well as create a
heavy lid and line. While the other can just simply make you look like a clown.
If you want to create a shimmer look use a nude lid, and apply your shimmer to
the brow line. Color of your choice! With your smokey eye, just don't over do
it, and remember your smokey eye can be used with many different colors from
pink to purple to gold. Keep the color applied to your lid and lower lash line
DO NOT apply the color above your crease.
#4. Pairing
your shadow with your lip color. A well known beauty rule is "Thou Shalt
Not Play Up The Lips AND The Eyes" Unless your a super model, try to keep
one darker then the other. If your going for a dramatic lip keep your eyes
light.
#5. If
you want your eyes to look brighter, apply a dot of white shadow or pencil on
the inside of your eye near your tear duct.
Step
5: Eyeliner; Eyeliner
is a good secret to enhancing your eye. Making your eyes POP! Black eyeliner is
usually the most common color that is used to pull looks together, or a color
that is close to black. You can either use an eyeliner brush or your typical
eyeliner pencil.
DIRECTIONS: When applying your eyeliner start
from the outside corner of the eye, create a slant, moving in short slow
strokes towards the inner corner of your eye making sure that your line is as
close to your upper lashes as possible, you can also line the lower lid that is
below your lashes, be sure to line only half way thru unless you are wanting to
create a darker eye look then you can line the entire lower line. Also remember
that eyeliner is exactly what it's called..Eyeliner NOT lid liner. Your
eyeliner should be applied with a nice thin line, to give your eye's that extra
accent it needs to stand out.
Step
6:
Mascara; ALL mascara works differently. Most people may not be aware of
that, but it does. Each mascara comes with a different trick. Regardless if you
like long eyelashes, thick eyelashes, etc. You can find a mascara that works
differently for you.
DIRECTIONS: With Mascara it's important that
you DO NOT clump it on. Use your wand wisely; treat your eyelashes nicely but
carefully in order to prevent a mess around your eyes you want to apply 2 thin
coats. Brown mascara is known to work best for a fair natural look, but either
brown or black work well for darker looks. I would not suggest wearing a pink
or blue mascara within the work place, I would only suggest those colors for
fun. Also, now a days, fake lashes are another accessory that is added to a
make-up routine.
Step
7: Lips; Your
lip color will also make a difference in how your canvas looks when complete.
Be sure to choose a lip color that fits your skin tone and fits your everyday look;
also try mixing colors to get that perfect look that's right for you. You can
start off with a pretty lip gloss, or lipstick. Either way be sure to get
something that is long lasting.
DIRECTIONS: I find it easier to apply my lip
application with my finger, wand, or just straight from the tube more so then
with a lip brush b/c brushes can be a bit too thick or too hard. You can also
apply a lip liner, but apply this after applying your lip application not
before in order to prevent a dark circle of lip liner once your lip application
has worn off, remember that your lip liner should match the same color as your
lip application if not close to it. Also, it is important to choose a good chap
stick for your lips in order to prevent dry chapped lips. That's definitely not
a good look.
Step
8: Blush; Blush
is exactly what it's called. Blush. A secret essential to your look. Do not
over do it!! It does NOT need to be blended if so then you have applied too much.
DIRECTIONS: With
your blush all you need to do is apply it softly on the bones of your cheeks
with a cheek brush that suits you. An easy way to make sure your applying it
correctly is to smile so that the apples or pillows of your cheek bones are visible
giving you an easy on application where all you need to do is dab it on. You
can choose anything from a pink blush, to a nude blush. In order to create that
fresh look for your canvas.
