color.
For long-lasting results, layer a pop of brighter blush on top.
For an extra glow, dust a shimmer powder on the cheekbones with a face blender brush, or use a creamy formula applied with your fingers.
Tap or blow off excess powder blush from your blush brush before applying. It is easier to build color in a few light layers than to remove excess color and start over.
Pot rouge or cream blush is a good option for dry skin.
To add a warm tint to skin, use a bronzer on areas where the sun normally hits the face—cheeks, forehead, nose, and chin.
Step 5
Lipstick
Start with clean, smooth lips.
Neutral lipstick shades and sheer formulas can be applied directly from the tube. Use a lip brush to apply darker or brighter colors, which require precise application.
Use the natural color of your lips as a guide when choosing a lipstick shade. The most flattering shade will either match or be slightly darker than your lips.
If you have thin lips, choose light to medium lip color shades, as dark shades have a minimizing effect.
Step 6
Lip Liner
To achieve natural-looking definition and to keep color from feathering, line lips with a lip liner after applying lip color. Use a lip brush to soften and blend any hard edges.
To make your lipstick or gloss longer lasting, line and fill in lips with lip liner before applying color.
Step 7
Brows
Define brows using shadow or pencil in the color of your eyebrows and hair.
To apply shadow, begin at the inner corner of the brow, and follow its natural shape using light, feathery strokes.
Set unruly brows in place with a brow shaper.
Fill in sparse areas or holes in the brow with an eye pencil. For the most natural look, layer powder shadow on top.
Soften too-harsh brow color by pressing loose powder onto the brows with a powder puff.
Step 8
Eye Shadow
Sweep a light eye shadow color from the lash line to the brow bone.
Dust a medium eye shadow color on the lower lid, up to the crease.
Apply contour color if needed to fleshy part of lid as a correction and to add depth to eye.
Face powder on bare lids helps create a smoother-looking surface for eye makeup and keeps shadow from creasing.
For a longer-lasting look, use a long-wearing cream shadow.
Step 9
Eyeliner
Line the upper lash line with a dark shadow color. Apply damp or dry.
After lining the upper lash line, look straight ahead to see if there are any gaps that need to be filled in. If you also line the lower lash line, make sure the top and bottom lines meet at the outer corner of the eye and that the lower line is softer.
Black eyeliner is the secret to gorgeous, sexy eyes. Layer black liner on top of your normal liner (just on the upper lash line).
Step 10
Mascara
Choose your mascara formula based on your needs and desired effect. Thickening mascara gives individual lashes a denser look and is ideal if you have a sparse lash line. For lashes that are enhanced but still natural looking, choose defining and lengthening mascaras. Waterproof mascara is a good choice if you want a long-lasting look or if your mascara tends to smudge.
When applying mascara, hold the mascara wand parallel to the floor and brush from the base of the lashes to the tips. Roll the wand as you go to separate the lashes and avoid clumps. Always apply two to three coats.
If you choose to curl the lashes, do so before applying mascara. Curling lashes after applying mascara can break the hairs.
True black mascara makes the most impact. Choose brown for a softer look.
FACE CHART
The purpose of a face chart is to have a reference of a makeup lesson. Many women tape them to their mirrors while they try to recreate the look.
