FACE |
|
|
| Foundation /
Concealer
|
After moisturizing, use a matte foundation in a shade as close to your natural skin tone as possible and apply to any areas of the face that need evening out. Blend well.
Then, apply concealer to the inner corners of the eyes and underneath to cover dark circles. Apply a small amount of concealer to the eyelid for a base foundation before applying shadow.
|
| Blush |
Use a cream or powder formula blush in pink, peach or bronze, depending upon which compliments your skin tone better. You should apply your blush in the style that best suits your face. Round faces look better with blush applied to the apple of the cheek, while narrower faces can take blush on the cheekbone. Apply blush one light layer at a time until you have a delicate glow.
It's a good idea to dust your entire face at this stage with a matte pressed powder in a shade that matches your foundation. Use a puff or sponge to press the powder into the upper and lower eyelids. This will do wonders for preventing eyeliner slippage over the course of an evening of dancing, laughing, kissing, etc.

| EYES |
|
|
| Eyelid |
Apply a matte nude or petal shade on the lid. Choose a color that is very subtle and natural-looking.
|
| Crease |
Apply a taupe or light tan matte shadow in the crease from corner to corner. Blend very well, paying special attention to delicately blend into the lid shadow just a touch.
|
| Hilite |
Apply a light layer of vanilla or bone matte shadow just below the brow, from underneath the arch to the outer corner. |
| Eyeliner |
Choose a matte formula, dark gray/charcoal or black powder liner or eyeshadow, or eye pencil. Use a wet liner brush dipped in the powder to apply.
Apply a thin line to the top lash line, from corner to corner. Use a light touch and try to keep the color just in between the lashes. An easy way to do this is to aim the brush or pencil at the lashline from underneath and wiggle it in between the lashes gently as you work your way across.
If desired, widen the line just a bit along the outer third or half of the lid to enlarge the eyes and to create a widening effect. Repeat the process on the lower lashline, creating a very thin, fine line, staying within the lashline, itself, all the way across. Try the reverse technique as the upper lashline, aiming down on the lashline from above.
Finally, trace a thin, delicate line around the inner corners of the eyes for a really professional look.
If you use an eye pencil, it's a good idea to go back over your liner with a black or charcoal powder shadow using a small, narrow, angled brush. This is another excellent technique for preventing smearing and sliding of your eyeliner caused by laughing, smiling, perspiring, etc.

Brows |
Use a brow pencil or powder to shape and fill in brows. Start by defining the arch and then fill in the rest as necessary.
|
Lashes |
Curl lashes and coat two or three times with a black, lengthening mascara.
|
LIPS |
|
|
|
To get glass-smooth lips, brush them very gently with an old, soft toothbrush. Then apply petroleum jelly and allow it to soak in for 30 or more minutes. You can do this first and let it sit while you apply the rest of your makeup.
Choose a lipstick in a very delicate nude, pink or peach that matches your blush as closely as possible. Apply one coat of the lipstick and blot with tissue, then apply a second coat. Top with a clear or frosted gloss for that gleaming look.
