Makeup Part 2

If you haven’t read part one yet then please read part one before continuing.

Once you have done everything in part one then we can continue with these finishing steps. When you use any liquid or crème, you really want to put powder over it to lock it in. At this point you have put on your base makeup and set it I with powder and have also done contouring. You will not want to put the same color powder over your contouring. I continue putting a darker powder than my face color over the shaded areas and I put the same, or lighter, color of powder over the highlighted areas. This continues the dramatic effect and avoids covering up your contouring work.

Now you don’t need the blush, however I am a huge fan of the blush part. Don’t have it too bright, in fact this is another great chance to go to Sephora and let the girls doll you up. Keep in mind, these women are not professionals so don’t be afraid to say that you don’t like what they are doing. Once you find a color pull a fishy face and apply it along your cheek bone. Now this can be a little difficult to explain without being able to show it to you, so I found the following photos to help.

The first one shows you the best way to apply it based on your face shape. I found the photo here.

The second picture is how I personally prefer to put on my blush. Putting the blush up near the side of your eyes really makes them pop. I found the photo here.

This last photo is a bonus photo. It works best on ladies 40 and older. I still do it sometimes but it won’t make much of a difference yet. Putting the blush in the area circled makes it look as though you have had a face lift. It’s a huge difference. I found this photo in my phone, so please excuse the silly editing.

I hope you found this helpful!
