Brushes and Tools

Knowing Your Skin Type

Step 1: Primer

Primer makes the skin appear smoother and softer as it fill in

lines and pores.

Most importantly, primer helps makeup adhere better on the skin

thus making your makeup last longer.

Step 2: Foundation or BB Cream

BB Creams: Supercharged tinted moisturizer, lightweight, sheer coverage

With SPF Content, perfect for everyday makeup

Foundation: Far superior coverage, offers sheer to heavy coverage

Great for flash photography and events

SPF + Flash Photography= White Cast

Picking the right shade is half the battle.

Get the correct base color.Asians generally have warm undertone therefore yellow-

based foundation.

Test the foundation shade on your jaw; NOT on your arm.

If possible, test in natural lighting.

For oily skin, know if you are acidic and adjust accordingly.

Types of Foundation Depending on Your Skin Type:

Powder Foundation:Sheer to full coverage, best for normal-oily skin

For heavy coverage, use sponge and apply in a dabbing motionFor sheer coverage, use a powder brush

Liquid Foundation:

Medium to heavy coverage,best for normal-dry skin

Mousse Foundation:

Medium to heavy coverage, best for normal-oily skin

Note: Always set your foundation with powder

to avoid oil build-up

Step 2.5: ConcealerConcealers and correctors cancel out

specific colors of blemishes, scars, tattoos and the like.

Redness from pimples = Green

Dark Circles = Orange/Salmon

Dullness and sallow tones = Purple

How do you apply concealer on your under eye area?

Step 3: BlushPowder blush, easiest formula to use

Cream blush, most natural-lookingbest for dry skin

Use finger in applying.The natural heat coming from our fingers helps melt and breakdown

the product.

Apply on the apples of the cheek and then BLEND upward and outwards.

Step 3.5: Contour & Highlight

Contour and highlight give the face more depth and stronger structure

Important: Always use matte product for contouring; shimmer will give more emphasis to the area thus defeating the purpose of the

contour

Highlights reflect light, and therefore pull or bring out features

Shadows or contours absorb light, therefore recede or push back features

Step 4: Eyebrows on Fleek

Do’s and Dont’s:

Do NOT over pluck!

Eyebrows frame the face; make sure to choose the

proper shade

Use a spoolie or brush to remove excess

productWhen filling in, use light,

tiny strokes to create natural-looking, hair-like

lines

Make use of different shades to create

dimension

Step 5: Mascara & Eyeliner

Tip: Use any piece of card to cover your eyelids when applying mascara to

prevent it from transferring.

Do NOT line the lower lash line without lining the upper lash line. This will make

your eyes look tired and droopy.

Tightline the upper lash line to give the appearance of thicker

lashes

To open up your eyes, line your lower lash line using beige or

white eyeliner

Step 6: LipstickImportant: if you’re going for strong eye

makeup, use a nude or muted shade of lipstick; and vice versa.

To make your lipstick last longer, do the “tissue technique”

Day to Night Eye MakeupDay Makeup:Use neutral shades or earth tones for eyeshadow

Define the crease to give depth

Use brown eyeliner for more natural look

Night Makeup:

Choose which feature to emphasize

Darken outer-V to intensify the look

Brighten inner tear duct to open up the eyes

Avoid products with SPF content

Blend, blend, blend!
