Since my make up routine has changed, I decided that I should update my Every Day Wear Make Up How-to.
Since my make up routine has changed, I decided that I should update my Every Day Wear Make Up How-to.
First, begin with a freshly cleansed face. Then, out your bangs back to keep them out of the way of your make up.
Concealer. I use one from Avon Cosmetics. It's almost gone, so, I use a small brush to get a small amount from the tube.
Apply the concealer to your trouble areas. Mine are my under-eyes, around my nose, the bridge of my nose and the corners of my mouth. Then, 9with clean hands) blend the concealer in with your ring finger.
Foundation. I use Convergirl TruBlend liquid in 405, because I'm pale. I actually prefer to use mineral foundation, because my skin is naturally oily, but, my elf mineral foundation hasn't arrived yet. Anyway, squirt a small pump in the back of your hand.
I recently started using a sponge to apply foundation because it makes it look more natural. However, I still blend it in with my fingers. I don't apply it on my lid.
I use a translucent powder to set my foundation. You only need a little and it keeps you from looking cakey, like pressed powder does. (The corners of my eyebrows are red because I just plucked a few hairs)
Eyeshadow primer time! I made my own, using this tutorial http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AYcGm7S6jcY. It's basically just foundation and a thick moisturizer. That's what I use, anyway.
Apply your eyeshadow. Since my eyeshadow palette has no names, I shall name them. Base- base color. V- outer V of the eye Light- Highlight.
I applied my base, and then, in the crease and the outer V, I applied my V color. Now blend the eyeshadow.
Mascara, my favorite make-up. I have long eyelashes naturally (see picture above), but, I love mascara because it opens your eyes and makes you seem more awake. Mascara used: Great Lash by Mabeline. And, then, apply your eyeliner. I use a felt tip liner from elf.
Fill in your brows. A defined brow does wonders for a face.
Blush! Smile, and dab a subtle color to the apples of your cheek. This is an everyday make up, so dramatics aren't warranted.
Final step: the highlight. Remember the color marked highlight in my palette? That's the color we're using here. It's hard to show on a picture because the highlight is there to catch light, to look natural, so it's hard to see. I marked where I put it.
