2. Spend more time on applying your FOUNDATION and
CONCEALER than on applying color for a more
important even complexion
- Start with moisturizer or toner to
moisten skin
- Select makeup foundation closest to
skin tone
- Apply with fingers for light, feathery
look
3. Your fingers are your best makeup tools, like MAGIC
ERASERS
- Use makeup foundation as your concealer
for a light, less crepey look
- Select color two shades lighter than skin tone
- Apply with a nylon concealer brush
- Finish with fingers
4. Transfer POWDER to hand before applying
- Use a powder puff
- Absorb moisture for a matte finish
- Finish with a brush to get rid of excess
makeup
5. Use 2 BLUSHES: 1 for contour, 1 for color
- Smile to lift and open up cheekbones
- Apply deeper contour shade to cheek
hollow
- Add lighter color blush to top of cheekbones
- Warm temple, hair & jaw lines with color
blush
- Contour lighter neck & décolleté areas
with blush or bronzer
6. Close eyes and raise eyebrows to smooth surface and
avoid eyelid creases when using EYE SHADOW
- Apply color similar to skin tone to overall
eye area with a brush
- Contour eyes with taupe (darker color for
darker skin tones)
- Start at middle of eye and work right to
left in semi-circles
- Apply higher on bone for more contour
- Blend with natural oils of finger tops
- Dot frosty white shadow on outer and
inner corners of eyes under tear ducts
7. Defined EYEBROWS are to the eye what a frame is to a
painting, adding bone structure and balance
- Select eyebrow pencil shade lighter than
hair
- Fill in natural shape of brow
- Start at point of growth using small hair
like strokes
- With clock as a reference: move to 2:00
and down to 4:00 to arch right brow,
10:00 and to 8:00 on left
- Blend with powder puff
8. Liquid EYELINER wears longer than pencil eye liner
- Apply finest line to base of upper
eyelashes, in brown (navy or gray) for
redheads and blondes, black for darker hair
- Diffuse line with brown or taupe eyeshadow
using a small eye brush for a softer look
- Tickle shadow under lower lashes with
same brush
9. Look down when applying MASCARA
- Apply simple coat of brown mascara
for day, black for night
- Select a softer black, charcoal or navy
for gray heads
- Use extra mascara on corners of lashes
for a lifting, more wide-eyed look
10. Think less LIP COLOR the heavier the makeup
application, more if only light makeup
- Use flesh tone lip pencil to outline and
extend natural shape of lips
- Fill in with pencil and further with lipstick
- Apply lipstick with brush for lighter,
more natural look
11. Clean up your face using makeup brush as an eraser to
get rid of any excess color that has fallen astray
