Well, we've had several conversations between you and us
in the past about her dealing with dusky skin
or deep skin tones and how to correct them.
So there is evenness across the face
That's specifically what I am going to deal with today.
I have preped and primed her skin with moisturiser and a primer.
Now, if you notice the skin on her face
is dull mainly around the eye area, around the cheek
just under the high of the cheek and normally around this area.
And the pigment is quite different from
what is otherwise a bright face if you notice the centre of her face.
Her forehead is bright, nose is bright,
the cheeks are bright and the chin is bright
and so is the neck and the chest. So you want to create
this kind of a balance. So I would say focus quite on the centre,
it actually bring balance to the whole face
But I will correct all these differences by using colour concealers, correctors
Not to mention brands or anything, but
you will find colour correctors in palettes, like this.
On almost every professional store counter, makeup store counter
It may not be available in regular the brands or mass brands
but every pro makeup brand will have this and you will,
get a whole choice from really expensive to inexpensive,
to choose from.
I am going to get started
So I am going to take a bit of orange corrector,
another thing is, don't whack on a corrector,
its not meant for heavy use.
A corrector literally is suppose to take away the dullness
so the tiniest amount is necessary, you don't need to slap it on.
So, I am going to do an orange first and it's a fairly deep orange
it's a tiny amount you should not be able,
to see the orange as a separate entity.
Don't forget the inner corner of the eye, because,
this throws a lot of dullness on the face.
You should be able to bring it back to balance
and then take it further away in makeup
So I haven't done a thick layer, its just enough.
because this is not the only layer of makeup.
So,remember that you cannot slap on at this stage.
You are going to build up to create a skin like finish.
So, its literally to cancel the dullness under the eye,
that's the only function of this.
Like wise around the mouth
So in the first step of the correction process
what I've done is literally nullified the blues and violets
on her face.
So what I've done is taken off the shadows
Now what happens when you have a little bit of orange
is the skin turns orange, it becomes a warmer tone
Now, you want to bring that also back into some kind of control
So with a tad bit of yellow,
yellow also brings brightness to the face
So, I am just going to go over the same areas with yellow,
you could also do this after your concealer and
you'll see as I am working what's happening to the skin
if you notice the orange kind os starts blending
into her own skin tone right here.
Where I previously had applied the orange
its slowly turning into her skin colour.
Again tiny amounts don't use a heavy hand
because there is still more makeup to go.
So, I am going to find a foundation that kind of works
close to her skin, if you notice.
and you'll see that this is going to bring colour
bring closeness to her, kind of wraps up the makeup
let's blend this off
Again choice of tool is yours, I use brushes
but you are most welcome to use anything that suits you.
Again I am just focusing on, what needs focus
I am using a foundation brush,
to just even out the strokes,
even out the skin.
just applied that, I am going to blend it off
So, there you go
that kind of brings the entire thing back to balance
Again for a setting I would use a beautiful yellow powder
tiny amount will do,
the idea is to set and brighten.
So that kind of takes care of what we were trying to achieve
So there is a nice balance between her face and neck.
I am just going to brighten up and finish up
her make up with a little bit of mascara
to bring her eyes back into focus
and she already has a little bit of lip balm on
so not much fuss there
So, there you go just to complete the look
a little bit and show you,
how a clean well balanced face looks like.
