* Cleanse, Tone and Moisturise at least half an hour before applying your make up, so that it has time to absorb.
* Apply cover cream. When using concealer, it should be one level lighter than your skin tone.
Concealer comes in different colours:
Skin coloured
Yellow – covers blue, including the delicate area under the eye.
Green – covers red blemishes and spots.
* Now it is time to apply foundation. Foundation is used to even out the skin tone. The best test when choosing a colour, is by applying to the chin and blending into the neck.
Liquid foundation – Apply using clean fingers.
Stick or cake foundation – Use a damp sponge.
* If you are using cream blush, apply now.
* Apply translucent powder, all over the face, using a powder puff, brush or cotton ball.
* If you are using powder blush, apply now.
* Your eyebrows can affect your whole face, and facial expressions. If they need tidying up, or you wish to fill in colour, do so now.
* Apply eye colour.
* Apply eyeliner.
* Apply mascara using a cake or wand. Use a maximum of two coats only. If you are applying a second coat, make sure the first is dry beforehand. Curl lashes after using mascara.
* Use a lip liner and lip colour. Lip liner helps to prevent bleeding. Make sure the lip liner matches the colour of the lipstick.
