How to get a complete look in 5 min
Hi all.
Today I will be writing about the 5 minutes
makeup. Yes, 5 minutes :-)
I
remember when I started as a
makeup artist, I would normally use minimum of 45
minutes to beat a face. Mind you, I still do. if not
even more. However, I have now mastered the 'Art of the
basics' and I am here today to
share
with you how to achieve the professional look with the available
makeup products in your
makeup bag and still look amazing. All you need is
your 'Foundation, Powder, Bronzer, Mascara, Eyeshadow,
Eyeliner, Eyebrow pencil, Lipstick and 2 or 3
brushes and you're good to GO!
So, lets do this!
I will assume
you already have applied your moisturizer, then...
(1)
Apply your foundation, with either your sponge or
foundation brush but if you are in a situation
when you don't have a either of those. Take your first few minutes
here to really blend the your foundation as you want to look as uniformed as
possible and blot with your powder.
(2)Fill-in your eyebrows with your
eyebrow pencil with light strokes, this is just to enhance your brows. If you
have a matte eyeshadow the shade of your brow pencil, feel free to do the same.
Some like pencils, some like powder, I like both.
(3) Take your Bronzer
with your blusher brush, start from your forehead, then to your cheeks for
contouring. I just go to the forehead and paint a number '3'. I think its the
best way to achieve the best contour, and its less complicated.
:-)
(4)Use the same bronzer and apply as
eyeshadow on your eye lid, and blend up to your crease, then highlight your
brow-bone with with a lighter eyeshadow that can blend into the bronzer on your
eyelid without over-powering it.
(5) Line the
top of your eyes with a dark coloured
eyeliner (depending on how dark you like your liner to
look) and just go over your bottom lash line with the bronzer on your eye-lid. A
quick 3 coats of mascara.
(6) Finish up the look with your prefered
lip gloss or lipstick and tad aaaa...
YOU'RE A DONE!
Give this a try and let me know how it went.
PS: If
your eyes are soft... Punch it up with a bright looking lip colour. Strong
eyes... Soft lips. If you like to go all out.. Well, you know what to do :-)
