Tip 3:
Concealer is best applied after foundation - apply small dots
where needed and gently pat into the skin, then wipe with a sponge
to remove excess. Concealer can be applied with a sponge flusk
or lip brush using the tips. If you feel a little more colour
is needed add to the spots, and blend again with sponge.
Makeup
Tip 4:
Use Translucent Loose Powder to set the makeup using a large soft
brush and dusting over the face quickly in a downward motion.
If the skin is more mature just use powder in the T-Zone of forehead,
nose and chin
Makeup
Tip 5:
To work out where to apply blusher, place finger along bottom
of cheekbone and apply blusher in soft circular motions above
that area. Never apply below the bottom of cheekbones, nor past
a line from the centre of your eyes.
Makeup
Tip 6:
For a lighter much more natural look, after loading blush onto
brush, tap end of brush lightly against your hand to remove excess,
then apply.
Makeup
Tip 7:
Foundation over the eye lids provides a smooth matt base and it
helps stop creasing.
Makeup
Tip 8:
Go for a "no-colour" eye shadow as a base, like a soft
creamy shade "highligher" and place this on lids up
to brow bone. For most eye shapes the dark colours needs to be
used on outer eye area and/or in crease. If you use too much,
add a little "no colour" or translucent powder.
Makeup
Tip 9:
Dont use colours to match your clothes, go for colours that suit
you. Using neutral, smudgy colours will flatter your face and
try to avoid mauve, and real pinky shades.
Makeup
Tip 10:
Eyeliner should be applied close to base of eyelashes to make
them look thicker. A soft pencil is easier to manage.
Makeup
Tip 11:
Keep the thicker look to outer edge and with elbow on table for
stability, draw the line towards inner corner of eye, thinning
as you go. On lower lids, after application, smudge slightly with
sponge tip of shadow applicator for a softer more natural look.
Makeup
Tip 12:
To determine the correct length of eyebrows hold a pencil at the
base of the nose, align it to inside corner of eye, then angle
it from the base or your nose to outer corner of eye.
This shows where brows should start and finish. To keep tidy,
brush with eyebrow brush. Define with light strokes of a pencil
OR add a little eyeshadow power on the brush.
Makeup
Tip 13:
For hygiene it is best not to keep product beyond certain dates....
Foundation 1 year, Lipstick 1 to 2 years, Powder 2 years, Mascara
3 to 4 months, Shadow/blush 2 years.
Makeup
Tip 14:
ALWAYS keep brushes clean - wash very regularly in mild natural
shampoo and let dry naturally. Sponges should be washed weekly
and thrown out every 4 to 5 weeks.
Makeup
Tip 15:
For ladies over 40 to 50 years of age, simplify your style - in
clothes and makeup. Blend more carefully, and make sure foundation
is a good match for your skin.
Makeup
Tip 16:
Make sure your lips have been moisturised, and foundation/powder
applied. Outline your shape with a lip pencil in natural or a
toning shade to the chosen lipcolour. Apply lipstick with a lipbrush.
Then blot by "kissing" a tissue held between the lips,
then reapply more colour. Choose colour tones in either warm or
cool tones to suit your complexion.
Makeup
Tip 17:
If you have dark circles under your eyes, dont apply eyeliner
untill dark circles are coverd with concealer. or else your eyes
will become too dark.
