1. Flawless Base: The Foundation of Every Look

Pulling out the eyeshadow palettes and highlighters to shine before you even have a smooth, even, camera-ready base is not the way to go.

Step-by-Step:

Prep: Cleanse, tone, moisturize. Use a primer for your client’s skin type for longer-lasting wear.

Foundation: Use foundation with a brush, sponge, or fingers. Blend from the center of the face outwards.

Conceal: Apply concealer under the eyes, on blemishes, and where the area needs to be lightened (like the center of the forehead and chin).

Set: Top with a light translucent setting powder to lock in the base.

Pro Tip: Use a wet beauty sponge for a wet finish or a stippling brush for heavier coverage.

2. Eyes That Captivate: From Natural to Glam

Eyes are the focal point of any makeup look. Whether using soft neutrals or bright, bold lids, technique is crucial.

Tutorial Tip – Soft Smoky Eye:

Base Shade: Apply a light matte shadow across the entire lid.

Mid-tone shade: Use a medium brown in the crease and blend.

Depth: Use a dark brown or black to create depth in the outer corner.

Liner: Smudge pencil or gel liner along the lash line.

Finish: Apply mascara or lashes for added drama.

Pro Tip: Employ tape or a stencil for a crisp winged edge. For hooded eyes, apply eyeshadow just above the natural crease.

3. Lip Looks That Last

From shiny nudes to timeless reds, lip color pulls everything together.

Steps for a Perfect Pout:

• Prep lips by exfoliating and moisturizing first.
• Sketch out with a lip liner to define shape and avoid feathering.
• Finish with your chosen lipstick, blot, and reapply for long-lasting wear.
• Optional: Place a dot of gloss in the middle for added drama.

Pro Tip: For ombré lips, layer darker liner in the outer corners and a lighter color in the middle.

4. Highlight & Contour: Sculpt and Glow

Sculpt and define your client’s best features.

Basic Technique:

• Contour: Apply a cool-toned contour color below the cheekbones, jawline, and nose sides.
• Highlight: Apply a shimmer or cream highlight on cheekbone tops, nose bridge, and cupid’s bow.
• Blend: Always blend fully—no harsh lines at all, only natural-looking makeup that doesn’t appear drawn on.
