Concealer

‘Never Ever’ put the concealer or foundation on your eyelids as a base, because it will cause your eye makeup to crease.

Foundation

Use your fingers to apply the foundation if you want sheer coverage and brush if you more polished, medium to full coverage.

Powder

Always apply the powder where you are shiniest first, which is usually your T-zone, with a very light dusting everywhere else.

Bronzer

You should put bronzer on your neck, face, and chest to even out your skin tone. Be sure to take a step back and make sure that everything is the same color.

Blush

When applying blush, first smile (to make up yourself), then start to apply on the apple of the cheek, blend the blush back towards the top of the ear, and then down toward the jawline.

Eyebrow

Always apply your brow pencil or powder to the upper portion of your eyebrow to lift your face up.

Lipstick

You need to make sure your lipstick is not too defined at your cupid’s bow (the top of your lip), and that it goes all the way out to the inner corners of your mouth. Be sure to press down hard as you apply. Don’t use dark lipsticks on black skin.

Eye Shadow

Always remember to start with a base shadow without any shimmer that matches the lightest skin tone on your face and apply all over your lid up to the brow. You should use this base shadow to make sure that the darker shadows used on your lid up to the crease are properly blended.

EyeLiner

Instead of looking straight ahead at the mirror, get as close to it as possible, stick your head up and then bring your chin toward the mirror. You need to look down as you apply, start at the inner corner and make sure to go all the way out to the fold on the outside of your eye.

Mascara

You don’t want or need to do quick soft motions when you apply mascara. Instead, jam the wand into the root of your lash and do zigzag motions as you go up.
