Step 1: Hide
Dark Circles
the first step of all: Apply a moisturizer with SPF to help concealer glide on
smoothly. Then use concealer only where you need it, like on under eye circles
and blemishes. Try a creamy formula in a shade that matches your skin tone.
"Too-white circles under your eyes look like you wore goggles while
tanning." Apply in little stripes with a pointed concealer brush. Then
blend using your ring finger for the lightest touch, and don't tug on delicate
under eye areas. Always prepare the eyes with some eye primer like Revlon photo ready to avoid the eye shadow from creasing or fading away.
Step 2: A Touch of Base
to get perfectly even skin the speedy way, use a foundation stick. It's easy
and gives you plenty precise application something like Bobbi Brown Foundation
stick. Using the stick like a giant marker, draw thick lines down cheekbones,
the sides of your nose and above brows, and blend with your fingers. Want to
look a little more sun-kissed? Before blending, use a second stick that's two
or three shades darker in all the same places for a streak-free glow. Mix both
colors together over your face and down onto your neck using your fingers.
Step 3:
Reassess and Perfect!
If a pesky
zit or mark is still poking through, go back and hide it with an extra layer of
concealer. Use the same kind as in step one or try a cover-up that contains
salicylic acid, like Almay Clear Complexion Concealer, which helps shrink
blemishes while it camouflages. Dab it onto problem areas with a pointed brush
instead of slicking it on from the tube. Right on top of the blemish,
"it's not meant to be totally blended in but to avoid cakeyness, use your
ring finger to its perimeter outward until smooth.
Step 4: Now
Blush!
Forget
shading and sculpting cheekbones with a brush and powder, and try a cream blush
instead for that glow-from-within effect. Apply to the apples of your cheeks,
as seen here. (The fast way to find yours: Smile!) Then blend the color up
toward your temples with your fingers. Bright, bold hues like the berry shade
used on our model can look natural, but if you're color-shy, build the
intensity by gradually layering it on.
Step 5: Apply
Shimmery Eye Base For pro-looking eye makeup in no time, apply a wash of sheer, Shimmery
cream shadow from lash lines to brow bones using your pointer finger. Try
Revlon Illuminance Creme Shadow in Copper
Canyon, which comes with
all the shades you need to create this look. If your skin is fair try a silvery
white shade. For medium to dark skin tones, opt for a champagne color instead.
To get an extra bright-eyed effect, dot the color onto the inner corners of
your eyes too.
Step 6: Make
'Em Pop
Next, use
bronze and gold cream shadows (both are in that same Revlon palette) to give
eyes more depth. Apply the bronze shade in your creases with a flat shadow
brush for more control, and use your fingers to smudge it down over the lids-avoiding
the brow bones. There shouldn't be any harsh lines or stripes of color; it
should look blended and effortless. Then, to make eyes look even bigger, pat
some gold cream shadow onto the centers of your lids and run a little along
your lower lash lines with your finger or a small brush.
Step 7: Add
Some Definition
For more
intensity, rim your upper lash lines with a brown liner pencil and smudge it
upward with your shadow brush. Then set with the same powder eye shadow used in
the previous step. Finish off with two coats of mascara, like Smash box Hyper
lash Mascara, on top and bottom-focusing on the outer lashes with the top of
the wand. If your brows aren't as full then lightly fill in any gaps with a
pencil and use a disposable mascara wand to brush the hairs up.
Step 8: Get
Lush-Looking Lips
If your lips
are dry or at all chapped, gently buff with a damp washcloth and apply lip
balm. Let it sink in well, and blot with a tissue if it feels slippery. Using a
strawberry-color lipstick, like Maybelline New York Color Sensational Lipstick
in Very Cherry, straight from the tube, apply it to the center of your mouth
(make a kissy face!), where color tends to wear off first. Blend the lipstick
out over your lips, patting the color on with your fingertip to help it last.
"This gives you that fresh, just-ate-a-popsicle look. To amp up things for
night, add a layer of gloss for extra shine.
A lot of top brands and drug store brands have been mentioned above but thats only to give you an idea. The real secret is that this can be achieved by any brand you can afford and the technique you use to apply these. Wear them with confidence and dazzle away girls.
