FACE |
|
|
| Foundation /
Concealer
|
You can have a flawless complexion like Toni's with the right concealer and foundation.
After moisturizing, apply concealer with a brush to the inner corners of the eyes and
underneath to cover dark circles. You can also apply concealer to the eyelid for a base
foundation before applying shadow. Foundation should also be applied with a brush and
blended with concealer and in areas of the skin that need evening out. Use a large powder
brush to lightly dust on a loose powder to set makeup.
|
| Blush |
To copy Toni's blush, choose a tawny colored blush and apply it with a large brush to the
outer areas of the cheek first and then just a touch in the apples of cheeks.
|
| EYES |
|
|
| Eyelid |
Getting eyes like Toni's is easier than it looks because you can use the same shadows for
lining the eyes that you do to color the lid. Cover the entire lid to underneath the brow
with a neutral shade in a brownish pink or beige.
|
| Crease |
Apply a burgundy or black-purple shade to the crease with a soft, rounded brush. Use light
back and forth strokes starting at the outer corner. Blend lightly onto the lid, staying
away from the inner corner of the eyes.
|
| Hilite |
Apply a frosty lilac or lavender to the inner corners of the lid. This will make eyes look
more widely spaced, so stop before you get to iris.
|
| Eyeliner |
Use the same frosty lilac or lavender that you used to highlite to line the lower lashes.
Instead of under the lashes, you want to actually apply the shadow above the lashes with a
small, stiff brush. (This takes some practice!) Wipe off the same brush and use it to
apply the same burgundy shadow that was used for the crease. If you are using a wet/dry
shadow, you can wet your brush before applying. Apply shadow under the lashes this time,
starting from the outside with short quick strokes, line eyes all the way to the inner
corner. Your liner should be fatter on the outside and taper in to a thin line at the inner
corners.
For the upper lid, start with the outer corner and taper the line, stopping just before
where it would meet the lilac liner. Now blend the two together with the same brush.
|
Brows |
After shaping brows, color in with a powder and brush.
|
Mascara |
Curl lashes and coat with a black, lengthening mascara.
|
LIPS |
|
|
|
Line lips with a brown pencil and apply a glossy brown-pink lipstick.
