- Always use toner on your face first and then apply moisturizer. This is to ensure better blending of the concealer/foundation.
- Work your foundation onto your face using your fingers in circular motions. Work one area at a time starting with your forehead down one side of face, and then down the other side with quick motion. Blend outwards and downwards with a makeup sponge .
- Concealer is best applied after you have applied the foundation. Concealer can be applied with a lip brush using the tips. If you feel a little more color is needed , add to the spots and blend again with sponge.
- Use a large soft brush to set the makeup using translucent loose powder and dust over the face quickly in a downward motion. If the skin is more mature just use powder in the T-Zone of forehead, nose and chin.
- If you wish to know where to apply blusher, you will need to place your fingers along the bottom of your check bone and apply blusher in soft circular motions above that area. You should never apply below the bottom of your cheek bones.
- For a lighter much more natural look, after you have loaded blush onto brush, you can tap end of brush lightly against your hand to remove excess and then apply.
- Foundation over the eye lids provides a smooth matt base and it helps to stop creasing. You should strive for a “no-color” eye shadow as a base, like a soft creamy shade “highlighter” and place this on lids up to brow.
- For most eye shapes, the dark colors will have to be applied on the outer eye area and in crease.
