Hi guys, welcome back to the Glamrs studio
and this is gorgeous Pooja who's offered to be our model today
and over the next few videos!
What we're addressing in these
mainly skin of her kind
and her colouring so basically deeper skin tones. There is a
lot of confusion always, about
what kind of makeup looks good on the skin? How do you get
started on this colour and do all the corrections? We'll
try and cover as many topics as we can over the next
few videos. To start with I'm going really basic
I'm going to celebrate skin as it were
and do a very neutral makeup look, something that
a person of her skin colouring can do on a daily basis!
Well I've already done her moisturizer and primer because that is how I like
to always begin my makeup.
And I'm going to proceed into the foundation but
a few things to understand, when you have somebody
with this skin colouring, the common things that
you'll find across the face is a general
amount of pigmentation around the mouth
and also on the forehead. So the thing about
like any other makeup, you need to neutralize
everything to create an amazing, clean
base before you get started. I've used primer so that will
aid me
to do the base like I like to do it, very sheer
very see-through and very skin-like. So, of course, you can choose
a concealer of your choice it doesn't have to be from
a particular brand, it can be anything that you have but it's very
important in this case to have these 2 colours, one is a
orange corrector
and one is a yellow corrector. I'm gonna start on
one side of the face so you can see the process building.
So I'll start with the orange, very lightly. You don't want
the colour to stand out you're simple blocking out
the violet
and the greens.
If you'll notice there will already be a difference between this side and this side
because a large part of the dullness is knocked back
wit the orange. Don't make the orange too evident
you don't want layers and layers of it just a very
thin veil so to speak. Now just so we can
proceed step by step I'm just going to show you what
magic the yellow does, just a dot of it
not too much, no heavy layering just very sheer.
The minute you add the yellow you take off
the greyness and the sallowness
So if you notice just with these two very light
steps I've brought her skin back to the same colour
as on her cheeks. So I'm going to proceed, I hope you understood that
I'm just going to go on without
stopping too much and I'm going to knock off this bit as well!
So you should take a closer look.
So there you go, with the most careful
amount of correction I've almost brought
this side of her face back to a balance
as compared to this side of her face where you see a
fair amount of dullness around the mouth and around the eyes.
But her skin is beautiful
in any other case,
I would have just continued with my makeup and not done any base at all
cause it's flawless her skin, except for the
a slight discolouration. Just a spot more on her
eyelids to correct them as well.
Same method, a bit of orange
Alright so now I'm going in with her base,
The very important thing when you're doing a neutral makeup
look is remembering neutrals don't bring out too much
colour!
And they're not very coloured, it's very close to the
skin tone so make sure that you know
you're correcting really well
which is why the base is really important
in a very neutral makeup. So there you can see
a very clean and well balanced
base on one side and you can see the dullness
and discolouration on the other side.
So powder now becomes an option depending upon the foundation
you've used. Her skin's gone quite matte as I've used a
shine-free foundation actually!
Whatever you use if you feel the need to set it, go ahead but in her case
she has dry skin already and I don't see the
current need for powdering but I will powder on her eyes
and around the mouth so
applying the eye makeup becomes easier
Now if you've noticed in the effort to brighten the face
there will be a certain difference between the neck and
the face but having said that try going as close
to the person's natural skin colour if possible!
So I'm just using a warm brown
matte contour.
And as you'll know the places to
add a contours is just the corners
that receed naturally so I'm just adding a little bit of
shape to the face without taking off the youth of it.
Again this is as per your needs if you think you like to
strong contours please go ahead. So I'm going to complete
this on the other side as well and you'll see that's it's all tied in together!
