Step 1: Take your primer and squeeze a pea-sized amount onto the palm of your hand. Rub your hands together so that the primer gets spread all over them and apply the primer over your client’s face. Begin by pressing it onto her cheeks, forehead and chin. Also apply a bit of primer over her eyes, but ignore any primer on the mouth area.
Step 2: Examine your client’s skin to see if there is any area that needs advanced covering such as dark circles, wrinkles, pigmentation marks, pimples etc. If there is, then you must cover these areas first. A green concealer is handy to use on any red areas such as red veins or pimples, whereas a purple cover stick works well on any yellow areas such as pigmentation etc. An orange concealer is best to use on areas with a bluish tinge such as dark under eye circles/patches. If you just want to even out your skin tone, then it is best to use a concealer color that is 1-2 shades lighter than your normal skin tone.
Step 3: Wipe your brush clean with a tissue.
Step 4: Take 3 similar foundation colors of your foundation Quads and apply it onto her cheekbones directly underneath each other. The Color that disappears on her skin is the correct one to use.
Step 5: Wipe the foundation off your client’s face.
Step 6: Take your 125 Foundation Brush and apply the correct color directly from the Cream Foundation Quads.
Step 7: Begin at the one side of your client’s face and work your way to the other side. Make sure that you apply the foundation in downwards stroking movements. If her neck color is hugely different than the color of her face, then you need to apply the same shade of foundation onto her neck as well.
Step 8: Take a foundation sponge and blend the foundation from her hairline, working downwards towards her jaw line.
Step 9: Take your 6 Color Pressed Powder Palette and dip your 126 Powder Brush into it. Shake off the excess powder by gently dusting the powder brush on the top of your hand. Begin by pressing the powder onto your client’s face, working from her hairline downwards to her jaw line. Concentrate especially on the eyelids and the lips. The main purpose of the powder is to ensure that the eye shadow and lipstick stays on for longer.
Step 10: Wipe your powder brush with a clean tissue to remove any excess powder from it.
Step 11: Take your 126 Powder Brush and remove any excess powder from your face.
Step 12: Take your Spoolie Brush and comb your client’s eyebrows neatly.
Step 13: Choose a pencil/brow powder/eye shadow appropriate to the color of your client’s hair.
Step 14: Take your 207 Angle Eyeliner Brush and dip it softly into the brow powder/eye shadow. Apply the pencil/brow powder/eye shadow in the direction of hair growth to ensure a natural look. Never “draw” the color onto your client’s eyebrows as this will only create an artificial appearance.
When using a pencil, make sure that you use feathering strokes to fill in the areas that needs filling and go gently on the areas which do not need a whole lot of filling in.
Step 15: Take a matte eye shadow color like white, champagne or beige and apply this color with your 221 All Over Eye Blender Brush starting just underneath your client’s eyebrows and work downwards to her eyelids.
Step 16: Take your 204 Crease Brush and apply a light brown eye shadow color in the crease of her eyes. You can also use a cream eye shadow if this works well for you. You may apply a darker eye shadow color on the outside corner of her eye’s crease.
Step 17: Take the same brush and apply a dark rust eye shadow color on the outside corners of your client’s eyes, creating a “v” shape at the ends.
Step 18: Take a brown, black or grey eyeliner pencil depending on your client’s eye color. Start by lining your client’s eyes. Do the top first, working from the outside to the inside corner of her eye. Make sure that you draw the line almost into her eyelashes; otherwise there will be a gap between the eyelashes and the eyeliner line. Do the same underneath her eye.
If you’re using eye shadow color instead, then apply the color with your 207 Angled Eyeliner Brush.
Step 19: Take your eyelash curler, ask your client to open her eyes and look straight ahead. Place the open eyelash curler on her upper eyelash and squeeze gently for about 10 – 20 seconds.
Step 20: Take your Mascara and lightly dab the lash liner brush against the rim of the mascara. This ensures that there is just the right amount of mascara on your brush. Ask your client to keep her eyes closed. Take your left-hand thumb and gently lift your model’s eyelid up. Put the mascara brush at the base of the upper eyelid and make zigzag movements till the end of the eyelashes. This movement will prevent her eyelashes from clumping and will give them a fuller look.
Step 21: Repeat this process 2-3 times until you get the desired look.
Step 22: Also apply mascara onto her lower lashes. If she does not have a lot of lashes here, then it is best to apply the mascara perpendicular to her eyes and start by running it lightly along her eyelashes. If she has thick eyelashes at the bottom, then you can apply the mascara the same way as you would with the top eyelashes.
Step 23: Take your 127 Blush Brush and dip it into your Neutral Color Blush Palette. You can opt for a cream blush for a natural look or use a bronzer to give you a sun kissed look. Shake off any excess blush onto your hand or dab it slightly on the rim of the blush box. Ask your client to smile and apply the blush upwards in a straight line, beginning opposite to her nose and taking it upwards till the outside corners of her eyes.
Step 24: Take the same brush and make circular movements over that line that you have drawn. This will ensure that there are no visible streaks on her cheeks.
If too much blush color has been used, then you can take your eyelid and make zigzag movements till the end of the eyelashes. This movement will prevent her eyelashes from clumping and will give them a fuller look.
Step 21: Repeat this process 2-3 times until you get the desired look.
Step 22: Also apply mascara onto her lower lashes. If she does not have a lot of lashes here, then it is best to apply the mascara perpendicular to her eyes and start by running it lightly along her eyelashes. If she has thick eyelashes at the bottom, then you can apply the mascara the same way as you would with the top eyelashes.
Step 23: Take your 127 Blush Brush and dip it into your Neutral Color Blush Palette. You can opt for a cream blush for a natural look or use a bronzer to give you a sun kissed look. Shake off any excess blush onto your hand or dab it slightly on the rim of the blush box. Ask your client to smile and apply the blush upwards in a straight line, beginning opposite to her nose and taking it upwards till the outside corners of her eyes.
Step 24: Take the same brush and make circular movements over that line that you have drawn. This will ensure that there are no visible streaks on her cheeks.
If too much blush color has been used, then you can take your foundation sponge and lightly swipe it over the applied blush color.
If the previous method is not for you, then you could dab your 126 Powder Brush into HD Translucent Powder and lightly go over that area.
Step 25: Take the blush lip liner pencil and begin to line her lips on the upper or lower lip, taking the line outwards to the corners of her mouth. Repeat this at the top/ bottom.
Choose a shade that is the natural color of her lips or choose a shade that is the same as lipstick color that you are going to use.
Step 26: Take your powder sponge and lightly dip it into your HD Translucent Powder. The powder acts as a holding base for the lipstick, ensuring that it stays on longer.
Step 27: Take your 316 Lipstick Brush and wipe it over your chosen lipstick color. Apply it all over your client’s lips, starting from the upper lip and doing the same on her lower lip.
*For daytime, matte finish lipsticks are best to use whereas for night time, you can go a bit darker with your lipstick color.
Step 28: Pat another layer of HD Translucent Powder over the lipstick and repeat the same process of lipstick application one more time.
Step 29: Take your lip gloss tube and apply either a colored lip gloss or light pastel shade over your client’s lipstick.
