How to do Makeup on someone that is Far-Sighted
• Such a person can see very well at far distances, but not on short ones so the lenses will be very thick. This will result in any makeup fault showing immediately.
• Light, medium makeup colors should be used.
• Avoid shimmering makeup- rather opt for matte eye shadow colors
• Rather use dark brown eyeliner as black will only look harsh through the lenses.
• Apply the eye shadow color onto the fold of her eyes.
Step 1: Take your 212 Spoolie Brush and comb your client’s eyebrows neatly in an upwards direction.
Step 2: Dip your 207 Angle Eyeliner Brush into an appropriate eye shadow color that is similar to her hair color. If she has very light/blonde hair, then you may want to go for a color that is one to two shades darker than her hair color. Start by applying the eye shadow color from the thickest part of her eyebrows and gently work your way to the end of her eyebrows.
Step 3: Take your 221 All Over Eye Blender Brush and apply either a white, cream or beige color over her entire eye area.
Step 4: Choose a matte eye shadow color that compliments her eye color and apply this color onto her eyelids.
Step 5: Take either your 204 Crease Brush or your 202 Large Shader Brush and blend in this eye shadow color.
Step 6: You may want to use eyeliner if you want to, but remember that it must not be heavily applied.
Step 7: Take your Eyelash Curler and curl your client’s eyelashes by gently squeezing them together for 10-20 seconds.
Step 8: Finally, apply 2-3 coats of mascara by making zigzag movements from the beginning of your lash line till the end. This will give your client’s lashes the volume that it needs without clumping it together.
How to do Makeup on Someone that is Near-Sighted
Here are a few points to remember:
• Such a person can see very well at short distances, but not so good on far distances. The lenses of these glasses will not be thick at all and will make her eyes look smaller.
• Stronger colors such as charcoal, dove-blue, plum etc may be used.
• The emphasis of the eye shadow should be in the crease of her eyes and also at the outside corners of her eyes.
• A shimmering eye shadow color could be used over the existing eye shadow to accentuate her eyes.
• Finish this look off by applying loads of black mascara.
Let’s start with the practical…
Step 1: Take your 212 Spoolie Brush and comb your client’s eyebrows neatly in an upwards direction.
Step 2: Dip your 207 Angle Eyeliner Brush into an appropriate eye shadow color that is similar to her hair color. If you have very light/blonde hair, then you may want to go for a color that is one to two shades darker than your hair color.Start by applying the eye shadow color from the thickest part of her eyebrows and gently work your way to the end of her eyebrows.
Step 3: Take your 221 All Over Eye Blender Brush and apply either a white, cream or beige color over her entire eye area.
Step 4: Choose a medium eye shadow color that compliments your client’s eyes and apply this color in the crease of her eyes.
Step 5: Take either your 204 Crease or your 202 Large Shader brush and blend in this color.
Step 6: Take your 219 Precision Crease brush and dip it into charcoal/grey/dark brown eye shadow and apply this color on the outside corner of your client’s eye, but in the crease. Make a “v” shape at this corner, dragging the color downwards to her eyelashes.
Step 7: Take your 204 Crease brush and blend in this color.
Step 8: Apply eyeliner on the top half of her eyelashes and do the same at the bottom, but only till the middle of her eyes. This will make her eyes appear bigger.
Step 9: Finally, apply 2-3 coats of mascara by making zigzag movements from the beginning of her lash line till the end. This will give your client’s lashes the volume that it needs without clumping it together.
