Hi Guys, It's great to be back at the studio after a really long break.
It's been several months
and while I have been away
I have had a lot of requests
to generally help people through
the times when you have weddings
and functions to attend or holidays and parties to be at
and how one can manage from whatever they have in their kit.
I've already moisturised her skin
I am going in with a primer
I prefer a clear primers because I feel like they don't really interfere with the texture,
color of your makeup that's going to be applied over it.
So I'm just applying a primer quite evenly you don't need too much
just a tiny tiny amount
It also kind of evens out the base
of your skin.
making the foundation application easier.
It also keeps your makeup on for several hours.
which is we're all looking at.
I'm going to use a very light base
so I'm going something that has
lovely iridescent inside.
It's already in the product.
I like to brighten the centre of the face
again remember when you're using something that's
very iridescent or it has a bit of reflective
quality to it.
If you wear it all over your face there is a tendency
that you might
end up making your face look round.
So you don't want that
It's just all meant to be flattering and not overtly done.
So I'm just adding a touch of this
you can use sponges, you can use your hands
whatever you find easy for you to blend with
I much prefer working with brushes because the very
tip of the brush touches the skin
so it has a nice feathery effect
it doesn't really
come on strong
and with brushes you can control that
So, I've just done the tiniest tiniest of a matte foundation
over what I earlier applied
and there is no specific reason for this
I just find that mattes remain longer
they remain fresher
don't worry about having put the sheen underneath
it will come through
over a period of time
it all comes through the skin
and it adds brilliance to the makeup
I've used a very very thin layer of a matte foundation
I'm just also going to do a tiny bit of concealer
under her eyes.
so I'm going to use a slightly warmer concealer
and warmer only because she needs to have
some brightness.
So, I'm just going to use a slightly orange peach concealer.
I just need a fantastic base
to get my eye makeup going
So for now as you can see there is
a bit of an orange patch
but I need that because the
orange will cancel the darkness
and dullness around her eyes.
Once I'm done with her I'll cover it
back with the foundation and powder.
So, I'm just going to dot
a bit
of a really lovely orange - pink actually
blend that in upwards
very very softly.
so it has the effect of a gentle blush
from the skin
I'm not applying any contour on her instead
I'm placing the blush in such a way that it
lifts her cheeks already.
Just make sure that the concealer
and the
seam between the concealer and the blush
is always blended
so it doesn't look like two separate products.
Just apply on the apples of the cheek
and then train it towards any direction that
you see fit for the person that you're
doing the makeup on
or for yourself.
Now just before I go on with the powder
I'm going to do just one more thing
revisit the iridescent product.
Just to pick it up on this little half moon here.
Now when you use products like this
the tendency is that you tend to either
take it off completely by blending.
Especially with your fingers
or if you use a thicker brush it kind of
disappears into the tuft of the brush.
I really find these kind of brushes useful.
This is a fan brush
it's really light it doesn't have much to take
the product away
and it also tends to keep it within the area that it should
be placed in
without moving it around too much.
So, I'm just going to put that right here
into the tip of the temple
bang on the moon
and over the cheek.
So you can see that slightly wet moisturised
kind of quality.
and use a very light hand
you don't want the product to disappear altogether.
because the product it's already creamy
and you know that it's not meant for over - handelling.
So, as you can see there's a soft
very dewy
moisturised look
Now, I'm going to start applying the powder
quite strategically
without taking away what I have created here.
So, just before you powder
don't rush through you're makeup.
Handle one feature at a time.
And it actually saves you time when you do that.
So just remove the crease
with a light hand and a concealer brush.
As soon as you remove the crease
take a bit of powder and dab over
to place and set the cream.
Don't forget to powder the far inner corner
of the eye as well.
Alright so now I'm just going to powder up around
the areas that I see fit.
Now the whole point is to leave these as peachy
moist you know cheeks.
So I'm not going to touch that area
and I'm not over powdering either
because then the skin is just going to get too matte.
So using very little powder just make sure
take off the unflattering bits of shine
So around here
basically very close to this
you take away the shine
so this stands out as a separate feature.
Take away the shine around the nose.
But I'm leaving the bridge of the nose
so that still retains some of radiance.
Again close to the half moon
and underneath the cheek.
Everything else stays matte
around
So as you can see now the cheeks actually stand out
as a separate feature.
