Tips 2009: Ten steps to perfect make-up

2009-01-14T23:33:00.000-08:00

Look more beautiful and confident. All women really want the same. If you know how to apply make-up and have a drawer set, it should only take 10 minutes. Practice is the key. A basic, simple to require 10 steps - in the right order.

STEP 1 Corrector/concealer

First, neutralise darkness with a pink or peach-toned corrector. Apply with a brush to the deepest or darkest area to prepare for concealer. (Sometimes you can stop here if the coverage is enough.)

Next, choose yellow-based shades of concealer and layer them over the corrector underneath the eye. Using a concealer brush, apply underneath the eye up to the lash line and on the innermost corner. Blend by patting with your fingers.

Last, apply pale yellow or white powder with a brush or puff to set the concealer in place. Also apply powder to the eyelid to take away shine or darkness.

Under-eye concealer should be one or two shades lighter than your skin tone. If the concealer looks ashy, it is too light. If it looks very yellow, it is too dark.

Applying concealer on the spot next to the inner corner of the eye will open it up and give you a fresh, bright-eyed look.

STEP 2 Foundation

To find the perfect shade of foundation, test a few colours on the side of the face and forehead, and check the tone in natural light. The shade that disappears is the one that’s right for you.

Use a brush, sponge or fingers to apply foundation where the skin needs to be evened out — often around the nose and mouth. For all-over coverage, use a brush, sponge or fingers to apply and blend foundation to the outer edges of the face.

To cover blemishes, spot-apply foundation stick or blemish-cover stick in a shade that matches the skin tone exactly. Pat with your finger to blend. Repeat if necessary.

It's a good idea to have two shades of foundation — one for the winter months and a slightly darker one for the summer, when skin colour tends to be darker. You can blend the two for spring and autumn.

For a sheer, casual alternative to foundation, use tinted moisturiser to even out skin tone.

STEP 3 Powder

For crease-free, long wear, apply loose powder in a pale yellow tone (or white, if you are very fair) over concealer using an eye-blender brush or a mini powder puff.

Apply powder in the correct shade for your skin tone to the rest of the face using a powder puff or powder brush.

If skin feels dry, dust powder only around the nose and forehead.

STEP 4 Blush

Smile, and apply a natural shade of blush on the apples of the cheeks. Blend up towards the hairline, then downward to soften the colour.

For long-lasting results, layer a pop of brighter blush on top.

For an extra glow, dust a shimmer powder on the cheekbones with a face-blender brush, or use a creamy formula applied with your fingers.

Tap or blow off excess powder blush from your blush brush before applying. It is easier to build colour in a few light layers than to remove excess colour and start again.

Pot rouge or cream blush is a good option for dry skin.

To add a warm tint to skin, use a bronzer on areas where the sun normally hits the face — cheeks, forehead, nose and chin.

STEP 5 Lipstick

Start with clean, smooth lips.

Neutral lipstick shades and sheer formulas can be applied direct from the tube. Use a lip brush to apply darker or brighter colours, which require precise application.

Use the natural colour of your lips as a guide when choosing a lipstick shade. The most flattering shade will either match or be slightly darker than your lips.

STEP 6 Lip liner

To achieve natural-looking definition and to keep colour from feathering, line lips after applying lip colour. Use a lip brush to soften and blend any hard edges.

To make your lipstick or gloss last, line and fill in lips with lip liner before applying colour.

STEP 7 Brows

Define brows using shadow or pencil in the colour of your eyebrows and hair.

To apply shadow, begin at the inner corner of the brow and follow its natural shape using light, feathery strokes.

Set unruly brows in place with a brow shaper.

Fill in sparse areas or holes in the brow with an eye pencil. For the most natural look, layer powder shadow on top.

STEP 8 Eye shadow

Sweep a light eye-shadow colour from the lash line to the brow bone.

Dust a medium eye-shadow colour on the lower area of the lid, up to the crease.

Apply contour colour if needed to fleshy part of lid as a correction and to add depth to eye.

Face powder on bare lids helps to create a smoother-looking surface for make-up and keeps shadow from creasing.

STEP 9 Eyeliner

Line the upper lash line with a dark shadow colour. Apply damp or dry.

After lining the upper lash line, look straight ahead to see if there are any gaps that need to be filled. If you also line the lower lash line, make sure the top and bottom lines meet at the outer corner of the eye, and the lower line is softer.

STEP 10 Mascara

Choose your mascara formula based on your needs and desired effect. Thickening mascara gives individual lashes a denser look and is ideal if you have a sparse lash line. For lashes that are enhanced but still natural-looking, choose defining and lengthening mascaras.

When applying mascara, hold the mascara wand parallel to the floor and brush from the base of the lashes to the tips. Roll the wand as you go to separate the lashes and avoid clumps. Always apply two or three coats.
