What have I learned so far in my make up course?
"It's it big, shade it. If it's small, highlight it.
- Primer
- Foundation applied with a Due Fibre Brush - match colour to jaw line & build up lightly
- Concealer:
- Liquid under eyes applied gently
- Thicker cream/wax based concealer to cover blemishes - stippling motion. Dab leftovers into hair line
- Translucent powder to set base. Apply until skin is no longer 'tacky.'
- Highlight 'C' around outer eyes
- Contouring: Use matte bronser/shader. Apply under cheekbones on temples & jaw line
- Blusher: Apply to apples of cheeks.
- Eye brows: Draw with an angled brush in light, small strokes. See photo below for guide.
- Eyes:
- Apply matte base (Brulé in Mac) with larger brush (Mac 227)
- Apply medium brown matte eyeshadow to socket line using a smaller brush (Mac 217)
- Use a bare brush to blend in circuler motions over the eyelid (Mac 224)
- Add more highlighter to inner corners
- White eyeliner inside eye on water line
- Apply mascara - apparently the best is the old tried and tested pink and green one from Mabeleine.
- Lipgloss - a light natural tones one.

Here is my work from class on Thursday:


My sister has two Kevin Aucoin books. They're incredible. I'd highly recommend them.
