Mascara Application 

   



1. Clamp an eyelash curler on the roots of lashes and hold for five seconds. Repeat on the middle of lashes and again near the tips.

2. Use clear Professional Natural Lash Mascara before you add colour to prime and condition lashes, and to "set" the effects of your eyelash curler.

3. To go to great lengths, place brush at lash line on top of lashes. In a slow, even motion, go from roots to tips. Then go over lash tips again, this time from underneath.

4. For thickness, hold brush as close as possible to base of lashes, and wiggle it as you move it up through lashes. (This motion helps get every lash.) Let mascara dry for 10 seconds, then replace brush at lash base, and wiggle again as you move up the lashes.



Eyeshadow Application 

   




1. Apply a light color over your entire eye lid from lash line to brow. Use a large flat eye shadow brush. Always use good quality brushes.

2. The second step is to apply a medium shadow color on your lower lid from lash line to the crease of your eye. Use a fluff brush.

3.The third step is to use your darkest color as a liner and apply along your lash line. To insure shadow will not flake, dampen your eyeliner brush before applying shadow. This will make it last longer. Types of eye shadows


*Dark - This is applied only to the eyelids from the lashline to the crease in the eyelid.


*Medium - This is applied from just below the eyelid crease to the browbone.


* Highlight - This is the lightest of the three and is applied to the browbone and extends a little past the outer end of the eyebrow. This usually gives a pearly finish.


Lip Application 

   




Lip Pencil

  • Lip pencil facilitates lip colour application and prevents it from feathering, however you don’t always need to use lip pencil.
  • Skip it if you are young and there are no fine lines on the skin around your mouth.
  • Also, lip glosses, sheer transparent lipsticks, and some matte long-lasting lipsticks do not require prior outlining.

  • *For natural lip makeup, choose a soft pencil in the colour of your lip flesh.
    Soft pencil can be used as a coloured base if followed by gloss or lip balm.
    Don’t attempt to modify your lip contour with soft pencil; this creamy product will not stay where you put it, even if the advertisement says “does not smudge”.

  • *For bright lip makeup, you will need harder pencil; it will give you a more precise contour, and will more effectively prevent your lip colour from feathering. Choose a slightly darker shade than your lipstick.

  • *To add volume to small or flat lips, outline the entire contour of the lips on the outside rims with a hard pencil. Use natural colours that do not contrast with your skin. Be very careful when modifying your contour; what works on some lips may not work on lips of another shape or maturity, and a highly unattractive feathered contour occurs when you apply lipstick to your skin rather than your lips.

    Colour

    1.With your mouth relaxed, start your colour application by defining the cupid bow, moving the lipstick from the centre upward and outward.

    2.Open your mouth wider, and draw the upper and lower lips from the corners to the centre. In the corners, blend your colour into the mouth, keeping it open.

    3.Add more lipstick to the centre of your lips with long strokes in different directions. For a more festive look, apply lip gloss in the middle of the lips.

    *Ensure your lip colour does not extend beyond the contour, especially in the corners, and that there are no traces of lip colour on your teeth. Maintenance
