All Day Make Up

All Day Make Up: Things that you might need

1. Corrective colour can be found under the brands such as Maybelline, Physician Formulae or Body Shop. The green stick hides redness, pimples and blemishes. The yellow stick hides greyness, old spots and dark circles.
2. Concealer (it is used over the corrective colours)
3. Liquid foundation
4. Loose powder
5. Mascara
6. Eye shadow
7. Eyebrow pencil
8. Blush
9. Lip liner (nude shades recommended - crayon types are available at Maxfactor)
10. Lip stick
11. Lip gloss (transparent type)









How To Apply All Day Make Up:

1. Using the corrective colours, dab only on the areas that are necessary. For example, I use the yellow corrective colour to correct the dark eye circles. I create dot-to-dot under the eyes with the corrective stick and pat them gently onto the skin blending them in with my finger tip or with a triangle sponge.

2. Using a liquid concealer several shades lighter than the skin, I blend them over the corrective colour to cover my eye circle. Again, use gentle dabbing actions.

3. It is recommended to use the concealer under your eyes even if you do not have eye bags as the light naturally cast a shadow and make your under-eyes appear darker than it really is.

4. Blend foundation onto the cheeks, forehead, nose and chin. If a certain part of the face does not need foundation, do not apply it. Once the foundation has been applied, use a harder concealer to cover any blemishes and dark circles.

5. Take a large brush, dip it into loose translucent powder and blow off any excess. Dust the powder over the face, applying extra underneath the eyes to catch any falling eyeshadow.








6. Apply the eyeshadow in 2 tones. First you highlight your browbone and eye socket area in a pale blush colour to give an illusion of a larger eye area. Secondly, dust in the base color of your eye socket area. Blend them in nicely.

7. Curl the lashes with an eyelash curler. Squeeze gently at the roots then gradually move out to the tips of the lashes. Apply mascara, avoiding the root of the lashes to prevent a spidery look. Wait for 30 seconds before you apply a second layer of mascara to avoid the lashes from clumping up.

8. Use a transparent mascara to curl up your bottom eye lashes. Put hair spray on your eyebrow brush and brush the brow hair upwards, then across. Use your brow pencil and shape it if neccesary. Brush away any excess loose powder from under the eyes.







9. Use a natural coloured lip liner to outline the natural shape of your lips and then fill them in with the same pencil. Always shade the lower peak of your lip first before you shade the larger peak of your lip. With a brush, apply a natural shade of lipstick all over, blot and re-apply.

10. The all day make up is almost done! Smile into the mirror and using a good blusher brush, apply the pink blush powder to the apples of your cheeks and brush it towards your temple. Flip down your brush on the cheeks to reduce the roundness of the highlight on your apple and your chin (you may dust the bridge of your nose - this will also make a broad bridge appear narrower).

All day make up completed and beautiful.
