How can I do my makeup like these women?
I have done make-up several times for models for photo shoots so i kind of know abit about make-up! You have to pick a specific look, you have different looks in those links, and obviously you cannot do all the looks! Firstly, pick what look you want. Its best to use a foundation (liquid) as a base, consealer for under your eyes if you have bags (from limited sleep of course) and for any imperfections like spots and freckles. Apply blush to your cheeks, start with the brush right at the corner of your nostril and softly sweep it back across your cheek bones diagonally across about 4cm form your eye (one cheek at a time). You should now do your eyes, pick what colour of shadow you want to use, use an angled eye shawow applicator (or your finger) and start right at the tear duct of your eye and work back making sure you apply the shadow into all the creases on your eyelids. Its best to do your eyeliner before the mascara, when doing your eyeliner apply it to the inner first then to the outer, pulling the skin down each time to get a nice smooth finish. Kohl eyeliners are better and black eyeliner is the only colour to use! When doing your mascara start where your lashes are the shortest (usually the side of the tear duct) engage your lashes with the brush and wiggle it up for a nice fan effect, repeat with the other side (do not over load your lashes as you will get clumps!). When you did your foundation you must have coated your lips, thats the best thing to do as it works as a neutral base. To stop your lips from drying out apply a tiny bit of vaseline before you do anything else. Nude lips are whats in just now but red lips go well with smokey eyes, judge what your going to do with your lips by what look you've chosen and what you've done with your eyes. Never use lip liner unless its the same colour as your gloss or lipstick as obvious lipliner is the star look and its very unflattering to non stars! Good make-up palettes should have shimmer in them, softly brush some shimmer over your cheeks and under your eyes for a fresh look and your finished! Make time and money no object when choosing foundation as an awful lot of girls have orange faces these days and its ugly! Hope this has helped :)
