these color bars should correspond as
closely as possible to those that are
printed on the enclosed leaflet simply
adjust the color contrast and brightness
controls of your set until they look the
same don't worry if you can't get an
exact match
the tape is divided into a number of
sections for easy reference
starting with Foundation and going right
through to lipstick and you'll be able
to see how the makeups work on two
different age groups first of all some
basic facts about your skin a good
skincare routine is important it doesn't
need to be complicated it can be very
simple just cleanse and tone and
moisturize the important thing is that
you do it regularly you may think that
your skin is all one color but in fact
it isn't it's made up of lots of
different colors this is why skin is
sometimes referred to as sallow which is
yellowish or cool which can be blue or
green overtones or ruddy which is red
before you start your makeup make sure
that you're in a good light daylight's
the best and that should be flat onto
your face and daylight's free don't
makeup if you've got an overhead light
because that will cast downward shadows
don't make up with a side light because
that will cast sideways shadows and
don't make up with the light behind you
because you won't be able to see what
you're doing
right you're ready to start your makeup
you're cleansed and you're moisturized
you're sitting in a good light source
now the starting point is usually your
foundation have you ever thought what
your foundation is made on there are
vegetable glycerin which are vegetable
extracts avocado oil almond oil wheat
germ oil which is a natural preservative
and of course pigment which gives the
foundation its color so as you can see
your foundation is made up of more than
one color as is your skin now the first
stage of your makeup is probably going
to be foundation now before you apply it
get used to using a damp cosmetic sponge
dip the sponge into water or run it
under the tap squeeze out the surplus
liquid damp isn't soaking wet like that
damp means take a tissue or a towel and
give it a good squeeze like this to get
up any excess water because water of
course will make your foundation streak
then when it's just a
you're ready to use your foundation you
can mix the colors together and I'm
going to do this today if you are
something just in between this is a very
good thing to do and of course the
sponge will mean that you can do it very
easily you can mix them together with
your finger
take the foundation up with the sponge
and then you're ready to begin by
putting the foundation onto the middle
of the face first always start by
putting the foundation on the center of
your face because you don't want a lot
of foundation all over the edges of your
face and into the hairline you have to
have somewhere to blend it too if you've
picked the right color foundation you
won't need to take it all the way down
your throat now picking the right color
foundation means testing it take a
little bit of foundation and test it on
the side of your cheek just about here
if it's a good match you won't get a
tied line the sponge will help you
spread the foundation really well over
your face and it gives you that very
fine flawless finish a little over the
eyelids but not too much if you've got a
young skin and it's a good skin you may
not want to wear foundation at all but
that's fine or you may want to wear just
a little bit of foundation maybe just
over your nose and a little bit over the
cheeks not too much under the eyes
that's good for every age an absolute
minimum amount of makeup around the eye
area and um can don't be misled into
thinking that just because you've got it
like that you have to start warming up
your face with different color
foundations like that I mean that is not
going to work that color is too dark but
it's the kind of color that you can
often be encouraged to buy because
people tell you that you need warming up
but it's wrong
they will take that off
always test your foundation on your face
and find a color that matches as near as
possible to your skintone and you can
see that that is going to match very
well because it will blend into your
neck without leaving a tied mark and now
we know that we found the right color
foundation and we start to put it on
always begin middle of the face not too
much very often with an older skin
you've got to be careful with foundation
it's really a bit like a very young skin
too much foundation can look to Kate too
obvious and you have to be very careful
not to get foundation in any areas that
are lined or wrinkled like the area
around the eyes remember to match your
foundation to your skin color use a damp
sponge to apply work from the center of
your face outwards so you don't get
makeup in your hairline and apply less
foundation to older skins whether you're
using a foundation or not you will
probably want to use a concealer this is
a concealer it's a kind of a solid sort
of foundation you can use it straight
from the stick with your fingertips and
draw it straight onto your face but the
best way is with a brush you load it up
like you would a lipstick make sure that
any surplus just comes off on the back
of your hand first and then you apply it
to the face
it's wonderful for just covering any
dark shadows under the eyes
just paint it on gently you can see why
it's a good idea to use a brush if you
drag the skin under your eyes you can
emphasize bags and wrinkles and then
don't rub just Pat the concealer into
place with your finger tip no dragging
and remember concealer goes on over the
top of your foundation all straight onto
your skin after moisturizer you may find
that you want to use more than one color
I'm using a slightly darker shade here
just over the nose area you can mix them
together just like you did with
foundations mixed with a little of the
lighter one that's going to reduce any
redness and then blend it in with your
fingertip and again use the brush to get
in any nooks and crannies like this
around the nostril
if you do happen to have any spots or
blemishes like this one can just dot on
concealer press it in with your finger
and if you've got any red areas you can
just put concealer over them rather than
using a thick layer of foundation it's
much better idea to use a little bit of
concealer and just blend it in with your
finger like that
the brush helps you locate it where you
want it to be
and then you'll be ready for face powder
if you've got good skin and you feel you
don't want to wear foundation at all
that's fine you can just use concealer
on its own if you have red marks and one
often does have red marks especially
around the nose area you can just stop
concealer on with a brush and then Pat
it in with your finger and if you have
high color say on your cheeks which is
quite a common which is quite a common
thing to happen especially if you get a
few red veins you can just use a little
concealer over any red areas too now
again be very careful if you've got
shadows under your eyes and you want to
cover them only put the tiniest bit of
concealer on with a brush don't let any
concealer get into lines underneath the
eyes here or into the wrinkles at the
side because it will only emphasize them
you can't cover wrinkles with makeup all
you'll do is make them look much much
worse
if in doubt use less and the same for
the area down by the side of the mouth
or round the nose just touch up with the
concealer on the brush pass it in with
your finger and remember do this in a
really good light
daylight's best because you don't want
to look like you've got little patches
on your skin any little red marks
and don't rub or drag and be especially
careful on the area around the eyes this
isn't a good place to rubble drag anyway
because you really can stretch the skin
quite badly you notice that I never
pulled at all I'm just patting and
pressing and then when you feel the skin
looks completely even you're ready to go
on to the next stage i shadow x' are
often described as eye bags they really
aren't the same thing at all a shadow
under the eye would be in this area and
looked dark like this a bag would look
more like this concealer should only be
applied to shadows so remember lighter
colors applied to eye bags will only
emphasize them apply concealer with a
brush after foundation or moisturizer
use different colors for different areas
since they mix together easily pat in
don't rub to blend remember not to put
concealer on fine lines or wrinkles or
over eye bags loose face powder among
its main ingredients are talc silk and
of course color pigment modern powders
like this are very light and transparent
the cooled and translucent translucent
means see-through so you can actually
see your skin through it but on the
other hand it doesn't create a thick
mask like appearance it's very easy to
use and all you have to do is just shake
a little into the palm of your hand
not the old flower bag look where you
used to have absolutely masses all over
the face and then use a powder puff dive
it away on the palm of the hand and then
apply it to your face as you did with
the foundation you do the same thing
with powder which you start in the
center of the face because this stone
here we call it the t-zone is no
the oiliest anyway so press the powder
again don't rub just press it into your
skin even if you're not wearing
foundation this is the right way to
apply face powder and just dab it round
the center area of your face and then
use what's left on the puffs around the
cheeks and then a very little just look
straight ahead under the eyes there's
really nothing left now and just using
the last of what was on the part of puff
now powder really is important
it holds the makeup in place and it
gives your skin that really poreless
look especially here where you can tend
to look a bit sort of oily even if your
skin isn't very oily this will hold the
makeup in place make the skin look very
smooth and flawless and that prepares
your whole face as a basis for whatever
colors you might add afterwards and
before you start to do eye makeup just
run a little bit of powder over the lid
takes away the grease and means that if
you're using powder eyeshadows they
won't crease too easily after
again loose face powder and pressed into
the middle of the face just as I did
before are really on Maxine now not too
much if you have got lines or even if
your skin's a bit dry you need to
probably use less powder rather than
more and I'm making that little bit that
I had on the powder puff really go a
long way and I haven't put any at all
around the eyes yet to help the makeup
stay on we will actually need a little
bit of powder I'm putting it just on the
eyelid also helps to stop creasing and
then really and truly with nothing on
the puff at all just enough to use the
powder puffs to blot off any excess
moisture around the eye I'm just going
around the area of the eyes but no
powder at all not great wad use of it
especially again on this area around
here but you can see how it makes the
skin that much smoother loose powder is
really the best thing to use to prepare
and set your makeup for the day but of
course you may want to do touch-ups
during the day in which case you're
probably going to want to use a compact
powder like this
none of these little thin applicators or
cotton wool like this is really suitable
for putting on powder cotton wool bad
because the little filaments can fly off
and get into your eyes into your
eyelashes and these little pads although
they may be convenient they just pick up
dirt and grease which then gets
transferred from your face back onto the
powder then back onto the puffs again so
the professional way is to use a nice
fluffy brush like this and that means
you can just pick up the amount of
powder that you want on the brush and
dust the excess off onto the back of
your hand before you apply it to your
face
apply loose face powder with a powder
puff
but compact powder with a brush pattern
press the powder onto your face and
remember rubbing can cause streaking be
careful not to use too much powder
around your eyes especially if you have
any lines always start by powdering your
nose and chin first powder blush is
probably the most popular kind of
blusher to use but it's also the one you
can make the most common mistakes with
which is basically putting it on in the
wrong place if you try and shape your
face with blush all you'll have a big
red streaks down here or perhaps even
under your chin so remember there's one
really easy way of putting on your blush
which is take good brush a nice fat one
is the best kind dust it round your
powder blush and then remember and this
is a good thing to remember with all the
makeup that you do dust off the surplus
on the back of your hand first and then
apply it straight onto the skin now you
can see you've got the right kind of
brush it just does the work for you
straight over the cheekbone so that if
you imagine it's a kind of a teardrop
shape here it's what you call sort of
the apple of your cheek and the brush
will actually do the work for you just
sweep it over the cheek itself and
because it's in the right place it
actually shapes the face naturally cream
blush is perfect for a younger skin or
an older skin or if your skin is dry and
for a very natural look all you have to
do is just smooth a little bit onto your
finger and then just dot it onto your
cheek
it couldn't be easier to put on and then
just blend it in with your fingertips
lightly over your cheek don't worry
about where to put cream blush just
blend it over your cheeks to make your
skin look naturally flushed if you ever
think you've got a little bit too much
on use your cosmetic sponge just wipe it
over the cream blush it'll blend it and
lift any surplus off
cream blush is as easy to apply on an
older skin as it was on Maxine's younger
skin the big trick about cream blush is
of course to put it on before you put
any face powder on at all and just dot
it onto your cheeks and blend it in like
I did before don't try and make your
face look thinner with blush you can't
sort of shape your face away with it
what you can do is make your skin look
very healthy give the face real globe
cream blush works very well for this
cream blush is also very very good for
older skins because it tends not to
settle on the surface of the skin it
isn't dry and it gives a very soft look
because it's got a natural Sheen all of
its own and it's also very good if
you're not wearing foundation but you
just want to add some color to your face
don't try to slim down your cheeks by
using blushes or shaders they will only
make your face look stripy instead of
making your skin look healthy
don't try to attempt to shade away a
double chin blushes or shade is used
heavily on your jaw line will create a
tide mark never shade your nose heavily
since it makes the skin look a different
color from the rest of your face and
draws attention to your nose
dust excess blusher
onto the back of your hand before you
apply it to your cheeks stroke powder
blush onto the apple of your cheeks
using a large blusher brush to avoid
streaks remember always apply cream
blush before you use face powder but
powder blush after cream blush is good
for young or older skins if you want a
very natural look
i shadow contain talc and mica which is
a natural element mined from rock it's
used to add iridescent also almond oil
silk and of course color pigment
remember how I explained that your skin
is made up of several different colors
well actually the same is true of your
eyes take a close look at your own eyes
and you'll see that they're made up of
well up to three or four different
colors these colors can often be a clue
as to the eyeshadow colors that you can
use and look good on you Maxine has got
what appears to be blue eyes but if you
look closely they're actually dark gray
around the edges and copper in the
middle now I'm going to start off by
using a copper eyeshadow on her eyelid
first I'm going to apply the eyeshadow
with a brush load up your brush again
does the surplus off on the back of your
hand this is a really good thing to
remember always because that way
the surplus drops off onto the back of
your hand and not all over your cheeks
and then onto the eyelid
you can blend with your finger but it's
a good idea to use brushes to blend if
you want a really professional looking
finish blue eyes and blue eye shadow is
really an old myth in fact blue can
often deaden the color of your eyes so
try and use a contrasting color blue
actually looks very good with brown eyes
looks very good with green eyes and
that's a good general rule use the
contrasting color or more than one color
as I'm going to do today this is an eye
shadow pencil I've chosen a gray which
matches the grain Maxine's eyes and I'm
going to emphasize the shape of her eyes
by darkening the outer edges of her
upper lid this is powder eyeshadow so it
blends very well with the shadow that
I've put on already
i shaped seem to be variable but in fact
if you look at your own eyes and at
someone else's you will notice for the
most part the eye shape itself is more
or less always the same what does change
is the area around it some people have a
lot of lid here and some people just
have a little bit there's a good basic
rule which is anything that you
highlight will stand out and anything
that you darken will go back so if your
eyes stick out too much here keep them
dark and that will set them back and if
you want them to come out more highlight
them when you're putting color on the
bottom of your eyelashes don't go too
far along just half ways far enough then
you've got somewhere to blend it too
because blending is really important
otherwise it's going to look like hard
lines around your eyes a nice big fat
brush that'll just do the job without
having any particular skills at all
gives you a really professional looking
eye makeup
use the edge of your brush to blend
underneath your eyes not the flat bit
like that just run the edge right along
the bottom lid and make sure that you
get the eyeshadow close to the lashes so
that you haven't got a white line
running too close to the lashes you
blend the two colors one into another
that way would look too dark before now
looks nice and soft Karin also has blue
eyes but I'm going to use a completely
different combination of colors this
time now I'm going to start by using a
yellowish color it's actually an old
gold and it's a very good color for
blondes because it looks quite natural
and also it's a very good color to use
if you want a nearly no eyeshadow look
I'm just going to blend it in with a
brush it's quite important to remember
to blend with brushes especially if you
have any tendency to crepeiness on your
eyelid you don't want to pull the skin
around now it's not a good idea if your
eyelids are beginning to get it all
crepey to use very shiny eyeshadows like
this because it'll just make them look a
bit like elephant hide but if you want
to add emphasis to your eyes you can put
a bit of shading in the socket line if
you've got any area that sticks out too
much you can shade it back we can
emphasize care and socket line by
putting a little bit more powder
eyeshadow just here now as you get older
you often find that your eyes tend to
droop a bit at the corners so don't let
your shadow start to creep down into the
area where you might have lines
blend the shadow with your brush again
no pulling around his fingers you really
can't get a professional look or get
your makeup to stay on properly if you
try and do it all with your fingertips
because they do tend to be a bit greasy
and also of course you pull the skin
around which isn't a good idea
if you don't want to wear eyeshadow but
perhaps you just want to shade back a
heavy lid you could use the shading like
this on its own in the socket line
without putting any color at all on the
lid which would be fine and a very good
way for making the eye shapely setting
back anything that looks baggy but
looking fairly unmade up at the same
time don't forget when you're putting on
your eye makeup look from one eye to
another to make sure that it's even look
for the contrasting colors in your eyes
is a guide to choosing colors dust off
surplus shadow onto the back of your
hand before application to avoid drop
off onto your cheeks use brushes to
apply and blend colors together for a
professional look and for a
longer-lasting eye makeup don't let eye
makeup creep too low at the outer edges
of your eyes if they droop
eyeliner or eye definer pencils can be
used for emphasizing and lining your
eyes sometimes they're called cold
remember when you're applying an
eyeliner keep it close to the lashes and
don't don't close your eye because you
get little puckers all along the skin
here and that makes it look ragged when
you finished so keep your eye open you
can look down into a mirror and then
draw the line really close to the lashes
like this and if you want to extend it
at the outer edge just look straight
ahead into your mirror and just draw a
little line not a great big take and
that looks very old-fashioned it's
important to remember also to keep the
color really close so that you haven't
got little white dots between your
eyelashes in the eyeliner now you can
leave it in a line like that but the
best thing to do is to blend it now you
can use your finger just a clean finger
tip to run over the eye line or better
still use a brush the brush you blended
your eyeshadow with or put it on with
will be perfect and that will blend the
line into the eyeshadow so it looks nice
and soft and yet it will emphasize your
eye shape
if you feel that you don't want to wear
eye shadow at all because you think that
your lids are in fact too creepy but you
do want to add definition to your eyes
this is the way to do it just use a
pencil don't stretch the skin too much
and look down into a mirror if you like
held at chin level and draw a line just
carefully through the lashes even if
you've got quite a big fold here you can
nearly always manage to get a very fine
eye line on and a little bit of line
underneath no further than halfway along
because you do want to use your brush
just very gently to blend it in so that
it doesn't look too hard you could also
use the powder shadow pencil to do this
as well which will give you a very soft
line
remember not to close your eyes it
causes the skin to pucker and to draw
the line as close to your lashes as
possible blend the eye definer for a
softer effect don't stretch the skin use
a brush to blend I definer on your lower
eyelid
highlighters can be used for emphasizing
any area of your face that you'd like to
draw attention to they're especially
good for bringing out deep set eyes and
they do make your eyes look soft and
dewy I light a pencil like this is
really easy to use try not to use really
stark white colors because they look
very hard on the eye so there's just a
little bit drawn under the eyebrow bone
and then for that soft dewy look a
little B in the corner of your eye and
then of course you can't leave it like
that you must blend it and the thing to
do is to use a clean brush and just dust
over the highlighter so that it blends
into the eye shadows you've already put
on and here in the corner of the eye and
then it really does look soft the idea
is to have a nice soft Sheen not a
really hard
sharp highlight this is a very soft
pinkish color on an older skin it's not
a good idea to put too much highlight
anywhere around the area that might be
creased and certainly not on the lid
itself and also not in the corners here
but in minut amount under the brow bone
and properly blended in just adds a nice
lustrous sheen which looks quite soft
and I think it's very very young looking
if you want to do an eye makeup which
consists just of eyeliner and then
probably mascara and a little highlight
that works very very well for a very
young very soft look highlighter can be
used to draw attention to any area of
your face or eyes don't use pearly
highlighters on your eyelids or on fine
lines or crepey skin
amongst the main ingredients of mascara
are carnauba wax and beeswax color
pigments silk almond oil jojoba oil and
aloe vera from the aloe plant mascara
can be one of the most important items
of eye makeup it really does make a
difference and it's important to get it
right one or two carefully applied coats
combed through with an eyelash comb are
much more effective than a thick layer
of clumpy mascara always start with your
top lashes and look down and then draw
the mascara brush right from root to tip
pushing upwards that helps to curl it a
little bit do it slowly and carefully
don't sort of jab at your eyes because
all that will happen is you'll push the
brush into your eye and if you find that
they are sticking together at all all
you have to do is use your little comb
and just comb the lashes through it's a
good thing to do this between coats
anyway keep some nice and feathery
if you've always longed to use colored
mascara and are worried because you
think they might look too bright if they
used completely on their own
try mixing them with black or brown the
thing to do is put a layer of colored
mascara in between the black or brown a
sort of mascara sandwich this gives you
a nice soft look I'm using blue here but
it could well have been green or purple
and then a coat of black over the top
you have a nice soft look
now for the bottom lashes run the
mascara brush along the lashes slowly
and carefully and then just comb them
out with the end you can use the full
length the brush like this but you
always run the risk of getting mascara
on your nose at the side if you do so
just use the tip of the brush to paint
the lashes again from root to tip if you
think your lashes have got too sparse
just try putting on a couple of thin
coats of mascara and you'll be really
surprised at just how good they can look
and I think even if you don't want to
wear much makeup at all
mascara on the eyes makes all the
difference
but remember try and coat all the lashes
with color that means brushing from root
to tip right the way along and the best
way to do this is in fact look down into
a mirror held at chin level and do it
steadily don't look straight on into a
mirror and sort of jab at it like that
do it slowly and steadily so you can
really brush the lashes properly all the
way the whole length from the beginning
right through to the end
most scoria bottom lashes by looking up
into a mirror held up high above nose
level and that helps your lashes come
away from the area underneath your eye
the lower eyelid if you do get a blot of
mascara you can remove it with either a
damp cotton bud not a dry one because
the filaments of cotton will can go into
your eye or you can use a wet brush just
to lift anything that may have dropped
off the lashes and underneath the eye of
course if you're using really waterproof
mascara is you won't be able to do that
so they're not a good idea
neither are mascaras that have a lot of
filaments inside
hold the mirror at chin level when
you're putting mascara on your upper
lashes that enables you to sort of push
the brush from root to tip from
underneath and then when you're going to
do your lower lashes hold the mirror up
above your head keeping your chin down
that releases the lashes from the bottom
lid and then you can just draw the brush
along without getting little blots on
the lower lid look down into a mirror
held at chin level when applying mascara
to your upper lashes look up into a
mirror held higher than your eyes when
applying it to your lower lashes for
softly colored lashes mix your colored
mascara with black or brown by
alternating the coats remove blobs of
mascara with damp cotton buds or a brush
eyebrows frame the eyes and can be
emphasized in a number of ways with
pencils and with eyebrow makeup use the
little wedge-shaped applicator to pick
up some of the eyebrow makeup and then
dust the surplus off onto the back of
your hand before you apply it to the
eyebrow you can color the hair and also
just fill in any gaps and draw a little
line at the same time it's a very soft
and natural way of emphasizing your
brows Karen's got a problem that
actually a lot of people have which is
one eyebrow this one is actually higher
than the other one that time and I'm
going to use eyebrow makeup to even the
mark and when you're doing this on
yourself be very careful because you
must make sure that you do in fact make
the two eyebrows the same so use the
little wedge-shaped
chisel ended brush and then you can just
color in the other side darken it
slightly to match up in depth it's much
easier to use than pencils which can
give you a very hard line with eyebrow
makeup you can color the hair and the
skin
and you can find me so make sure they're
in shape with a little comb up there
remember that I chose copper and gray
eye colors to enhance those colors in
Maxine's blue eyes blue eyes also look
bluer when you use dusky pink eye
shadows or a combination of yellows and
browns both of these combinations
emphasize the blue by contrasting with
it if she'd had green or hazel eyes
russet and dark grey would have been a
good choice so would clear and heathery
Pink's brown eyes because of their
strengths of natural color looked good
with almost anything but violets
contrast well and look especially good
at night gray blue is also very
effective but don't choose pale or
pearly colors Karen also has blue eyes
although they are slightly more gray old
gold and taupe for emphasis give her a
very subtle I make up bright colors such
as pale blue or pearly turquoise and not
the most flattering colors for an older
skin stick to softer more muted tones
such as taupe with gold and browns or
peaches
if Karen's eyes had been green or hazel
deep turquoise and grey or a mix of
stone and fir tree green would bring out
the color of her eyes brown eyes which
look naturally deeper anyway can take
slightly more vibrant tones such as
copper with a little pink in the socket
or Heather with grey
apply your lightest shade of shadow
along the first half of your upper
eyelid the darkest color on the outer
edges and blend a little along the
socket line this is the simple way of
applying eyeshadow and will suit most
eye shapes if your eyes are small or
close that it will make them appear
larger and further apart if your eyes
are deep set and don't have much eyelid
showing like this don't use
light-colored shadows they will make
heavy lids stand out more apply a
darkest shade of eyeshadow all over the
upper lid starting close to the lashes
don't apply the color all the way up to
your eyebrows use a brush to blend and
fade away to nothing a touch of color on
the outer half of the lower lid and
little halfway underneath will really
open up your eyes finish off with
mascara
lip colors such as lipsticks and lip
tints are made of Osaka right wax
carnauba wax which is extracted from the
leaves of the Brazilian carnauba palm
castor and jojoba oils and of course
many different color pigments lips are
the final part of any makeup there can
be strongly defined or played down
depending on your mood but it is
important to learn to put your lip
makeup on properly because as I shadow
lipstick can help emphasize or alter the
shape of your mouth but if you do that
remember don't overdo it a good little
trick before you start to do your lip
makeup is just to put a little bit of
highlighter here on the upper lip it's
the same highlighter that I used on
Maxine's eyes draw it on you don't want
a white line so rub your finger over it
like that to make it soft this makes the
lips look a little bit fuller and then
I'm going to use a lip pencil in a
brownie pink color a color rather like a
dark shade of natural lip color which is
good for defining the mouth without
having a strongly colored line
soften the depth of color of line
without spoiling the effect by gently
running a clean finger tip over the line
because I want a fairly unmade up look
instead of using a lipstick which is a
much stronger color I'm actually going
to use a lip tint to smooth the lip tint
straight from the applicator over your
mouth I always use the lip brush which
helps me to blend the lip tint into your
lips and also it helps blend it into the
pencil line because I don't want a dark
line around the mouth and then finally
you can give it a little blot with a
tissue so it doesn't look to Jamie and
then you've got a finish makeup lipstick
makes all the difference to your look a
lot of people think that unless your
face actually has lipstick on it it's
not made up at all now I showed you on
Maxine how you could use the lip pencil
to alter the shape of your mouth you can
also do the same thing with a lip brush
a lip brush is really important and it's
a very good thing to learn to use if you
want a nice clean crisp edge to your
lips I've loaded the lip brush with a
lip stick and what you do is just draw
the line along the edge of the mouth you
can extend it if you want to but if
you're going to over paint the edge of
your mouth just do it by the merest
hair's breadth not very much at all and
don't try and draw with the point of the
brush like this that doesn't work use
the flat edged lip brushes have chisel
edges so they'll actually make the shape
for you
don't try and draw the shape of your
mouth by person your lips or trying to
make your mouth a shape that it isn't
naturally especially if you want to do
any correction of any kind and then when
you've got the line the way you want it
to be just fill in with the brush and
that's the application done but if you
get little spider lines which is a
really common problem there is a little
trick you can use which is open your
mouth any can they please
just blot carefully with a split tissue
I always use split tissues because if
you use the double thickness they
sometimes stick too much and then use a
little bit of loose powder and just
smile with your lips together and then
press it just around the edges of the
mouth not too much and not too far into
the lips but that little bit of powder
will help to hold the lipstick in place
and it's important here not to rub
because of course you don't want to end
up with the lipstick all over your face
just press through the powder puff it
will help to stop the lipstick running
and then if you think the lipstick looks
a little bit matte you can always put a
little bit more on over the top and that
should really hold your lipstick in
place and if you've chosen a nice creamy
waxy formula without too much gloss in
it it should stay on quite well you can
use a lip liner pencil to define the
edges of your mouth remember when using
a lip brush to outline your lips use the
flat edge of the chisel shape use a lip
tint for less depth of lip color and a
more natural look lock your lips and
lightly powder the edges to help control
spider lines these are the basic
techniques of a professional makeup of
course there's no rule that says you
have to do all of the makeup all of the
time you can incorporate any of the
lessons you've learned into your daily
routine
