This beautiful lady was my first brave client after over 7 years of doing makeup, she was the very 1st to allow me to take a before and after picture and show it off. Already beautiful, just enhanced!
Always prepare the skin with a foundation primer, this will prepare the skin for the foundation. I tend to not use a primer on a daily basis, just to let my skin breathe a little. But definitely a primer for those moments where you will be photographed! Whether you use mineral makeup, liquid, powder, etc. This will give a fresh canvas to "paint" on. Let the primer sit just a moment before applying your foundation and always set your foundation with a setting powder. I prefer a translucent, it matches all skin tones.
Once the foundation is applied, I loosely apply a translucent powder to catch the fall of any eye shadow. This makes it easy to sweep off the excess, as it acts as a catch all!
I used a purple, grey eye color for a smokey eye. To keep the eye shadow long lasting, I prepared the lids with an eye shadow primer before applying the color. Applying a white shimmer or champagne colored eye shadow in the corner of the inner eye as well as the brow bone to highlight the eye. I chose a white glitter as it pairs well with the charcoal, purple colors I used. The glitter was an added touch for New Year's Eve!
Use light feather like strokes when filling in eyebrows. Never skip this step...it's pulls the look together. Next, Line the bottom lash line and water line (inner eye lid) with black or charcoal eye liner. I prefer an eye kohl when doing a smoky eye. Take a Q-tip or use your ring finger to smudge the color starting at the inner eye outwards. Curl the lashes before applying 2 coats of lengthening mascara. I used false eye lashes above, fun and flirty! I used a pink blush on the apples of the cheeks(smile real big) and brushed out towards the hairline for a more define cheek bone, suck in the cheeks (fish face) and apply a darker color just under the cheekbones. I applied a high-lighter on the cheekbone for an extra pretty look as I like to call it. Last, I completed the look with a glossy light pink lip color. My favorite by MAC, Dazzleglass Creme "soft dazzle". It has lots of sparkle, great for an evening out!
