HOW TO APPLY EYE MAKEUP IN JUST 8 SIMPLE STEPS!

Prep your eyes with concealer: concealer can be used to cover up undereye circles or just the bluish discoloration just under your inner eye,as well as corrective concealers, which I tend to favor. To cover dark undereye circles, apply three dots of concealer under each eye. Start at the inner corner where skin tends to be darkest, then under the pupil and the third on the outer edge. Pat, never rub with your ring finger (this finger tends to have the softest pad) until it disappears.

 Apply eye base to your lid: Eye base is the secret to keeping your shadow in place for hours. Without properly priming your lid first, your eyeshadow will likely end up a greasy line in your crease.

Follow with eyeliner:  Dark eyeshadows work great as eyeliners. Wet a slanted brush, then dip in a dark eyeshadow. Line eyes as close to the upper lashes as possible from the inner corner to the outer corner. Follow with liner on bottom eyes, but only line from the middle of the eye out. Smudge the bottom line with a Q-tip or your finger. You don't want a prominent line. For a smokey eye use a brush to pat in a dark eyeshadow along the upper lid and below the lid. You don't want a stark line, instead you want to blend it so it's "smudge-y."

Apply eyeshadow: It's great to use a three-toned shadow and build from lids to brow. Allowing them to blend into each other like a rainbow is gorgeous.But of course you can always mix and match with individual shadows as well. Start with a light color that almost matches your lid. Sweep the color across the lid and up to your browbone. Follow with a medium color across your lid only. Build on this with a darker color in the crease. Blend the colors well. 

Brighten your eyes with a highlighter: This step involves only the inside part of the eye. Putting a bit of your lightest eyeshadow in the inner corner of your eye will brighten it significantly. I usually dab a finger into my lightest eyeshadow and then I press it into the inner corner of my eye where the upper lid meets the bottom lid. This totally makes eyes "pop."

Highlight your brow: Take the same light eyeshadow and dab it on your browbone, concentrating on your mid-brow outward. Blend with your finger. A super light shadow will do.

Curl lashes: (or apply false lashes) An eyelash curler will make even long lashes look even more gorgeous. For added effect, you can heat the curler under a blowdryer for a couple seconds, or buy a heated curler from any beauty supply store. Test curler before applying to lashes.

Apply mascara:  Place the wand of your mascara brush at the bottom of lashes and wiggle back and forth. Follow with another few sweeps of the wand. Apply to bottom lashes as well.

How To Apply Primers

HOW TO APPLY
PRIMERS:
"Camera Ready".What you need to keep your makeup in place all day. Apply a small amount to clean skin. Minimizes the appearance of fine lines, smoothes skin texture and keeps foundation in place.


"Lash Primer".
Can be worn alone at night as a conditioner. Apply one coat and let set for 30 seconds. Repeat with the second coat. Let dry for 30 seconds and apply mascara.

"Prime Time".
Eye primer for the longest wearing eyeshadow, apply directly to eyelids, with fingers or sponge. Only a very thin coat is necessary. You are ready for your eyeshadow to last and last.

Lip primer prevents feathering and keeps lipstick or gloss from fading and changing colour. Apply a very thin layer with fingers or sponge and blend beyond the line of lips. Now you're ready for lipstick or gloss.

HOW TO APPLY MINERAL FOUNDATION...

Step.1 Prep your skinAny makeup goes on better when skin is freshly cleansed and moisturized, especially if your skin is dry.
Allow moisturizer to absorb completely, and if you have oily skin, use a foundation primer.


Step.2 Brush up. Or rather, round & round.
Use a kabuki brush, which is shorter and denser than a regular brush, so it gives more coverage. Dip the brush into the powder foundation, tap the side of the brush to remove any excess, then use continuous circular motions to apply the powder to your face. Repeat until you've achieved the coverage you want. Use fairly firm pressure.
You want to buff the foundation to a smooth, even finish.


Step.3 Go for the finish.
If you've already got oily skin and are looking for a matte finish, you may want to consider applying Mineral Veil Mattifier. Use light circular motions with the brush for a pore-less, natural matte effect. Dust it on with a puff or fluffy brush.


Apply the rest of your makeup as usual. Now you're ready for your close up! #BE ENVIED!! xoxo
