How to Apply Make-up
Step One: Face
To begin with, you need to have a clean face. An artist doesn't paint on a dirty canvas, and neither should you!
+ Wash face and neck thoroughly
+ Apply a water-based moisturizer
Step Two: Concealer and Base
+ If there are any blemishes that need to be covered, begin with a concealer.
+ Use a yellow-based concealer to match your complexion without adding unnecessary color
+ Dab on all locations that you wish to cover. Gently rub in, but do not rub off
+ After that is complete, you are ready to apply a base foundation.
+ Choose a color that matches really closely to your actual skin tone
+ Test the foundation to make sure the color blends nicely
+ The right foundation will seem to "disappear" on your face
+ Cover entire face, blending into the neck
Step Three: Cheek Color
Color is used to accentuate features.
+ Make sure to use a darker shade to lift your cheekbones
+ Apply from the earlobe down towards the cheek. This prevents leaving a blob of color in the middle of your cheek!
+ Using a coppery color will accentuate the darker skinned, while a peach or pale pink works nicely with more fair skin. Lighter colors can be used to highlight as well, following the same pattern.
Step Four: Eyes
To apply eye make-up, it works best to have two or three shades of one color.
+ Apply the lightest shade to the entire eyelid
+ The middle shade is applied to the lower part of the eyelid, closest to the lashes
+ The darkest shade is applied to the corners of the eyes to create a sense of depth
+ Eyeliner is used to blend the color into the lashes
+ Start in the middle of the eyelid, moving out toward the corners
+ Make sure to blend it into the eyelid
+ It can be covered with a small amount of lighter eye shadow to make it less dramatic
+ Mascara should be last
+ If you have fair skin, lighter mascara, like brown, would be less dramatic and more natural
Apply two coats and wait for it to dry
Step Five: Lips
There are numerous combinations to use when applying lipstick. Lip liner does not necessarily need to be used, but it helps to bring out the color and shape of your lips.
+ If lip liner is used, make sure that the lip liner and lipstick blend nicely
+ Start lining from the inside and move out towards the edges
+ Then, taking a lip brush, apply the color
+ Using a brush allows more even coverage and helps control the amount of color applied
+ Finishing off with a shine gloss gives lips that "kiss me" glow!

SHU UEMURA: Sweet Look
LANCOME: Enchantress
Create the Enchantress Look:
When using pastel shadows, focus on perfecting the complexion first, so the color does not have to work as hard.
• Use ANGLE SHADOW BRUSH #13 for a “wash” of color. The soft hairs will blend color more easily. Layer the color for more intensity.
• Layering mascara is a sure way to make pastels on the eye
“pop”. This can create an ethereal look.
• Coat SMUDGER BRUSH #10 with mascara and “paint” away any shadow fallout in the lashes.
• Sharpen LE CRAYON KHÔL Waterproof before using, especially on a smaller lid. A pastel shadow can often look too dark if eye liner pencil is not thin, fuzzy and defused.
• All women can wear shimmer. Add PETITE BOHÊME to areas of the face you want to pull forward - cheekbones, temples, bridge of nose, chin. Avoid adding shimmer too close to fine lines around the eye and too low on the apples of the cheeks. This can emphasize porous areas on the cheek.
