Eyebrows "" Apply brow powder using a soft angle brush. Begin in the middle of the brow and using a dabbing and blending motion, follow the brow line. Match the eyebrow colour to your hair colour, and remember to comb through with a soft brush for a natural finish.
STEP 7
Mascara "" Apply mascara to the bottom lashes first by holding the wand vertically and lightly brush the mascara tip back and forth. (If you have dark under eye circles, apply on your upper lids only, as applying on the bottom will give you a shadow, emphasising your dark circles more.) Apply mascara to the top lashes the same way, repeating several times. Use the spiral lash brush to remove any excess mascara from your eyelashes.
STEP 8
Blush "" Using the blusher brush, gently sweep along your cheekbone starting at the apple of your cheek, moving toward the hairline. The colour should be its strongest on your apple of your cheek.
STEP 9
Lip liner "" Begin with a "V" in the Cupid"s bow, or the centre curve of the lips. Then, starting at the outer corners, draw small, feathery strokes to meet the centre V. On the lower lip, first accentuate the lower curve of the lip, and then begin small feather-like strokes from the outer moving towards the centre. To ensure greater staying power of your lipstick, fill in the entire lip before applying lipstick.
STEP 10
Lipstick "" Apply lipstick using a lip brush ensuring you don"t go over the lip liner outline. Start at the centre of the lips and work the colour outwards. Be sure to line colour where the lip liner has ended at the corners of your mouth. Knowing your face shape will help when applying your makeup and choosing a hairstyle. To find the face shape that best describes you, consult an image consultant or a hairdresser and listen to their recommendations.
