3. POWDER
Use a large brush to brush powder evenly over your face.
Put some powder on your fingers and rub it into your
under-eye area, getting rid of any uneven skin color.
Now take a ear bud, and put a little bit of foundation
on the end of it. If you have any blemishes, lightly
(very lightly) dab a tiny amount of foundation onto
your blemish. If this conceals it, leave it alone. Otherwise,
apply pressure with your finger tip to the foundation
in this spot to even it out. Do NOT put powder back
on over this spot, it will give it a powdery look.
FOR EXTRA COVERAGE: CONCEALER APPLICATION FOR FINE LINES
AND AGE SPOTS
As we mature, fine lines wrinkles and under eye shadows
make an unwelcome appearance. Here are tips on how to
apply concealer the professional way, to take years
off you!
When purchasing a concealer, it is important to buy
a shade that is lighter than your face and also lighter
than your foundation.
A concealer is thicker than foundation and has a slightly
pasty texture. This is so you can apply it right into
facial lines and circles under the eyes. The concealer
will be the first makeup you put on.
2.To get rid of dark circles, put a crescent-moon of
concealer under each eye. Start at the inner corner
of the lower eyelid and drag the concealer to the outer
corner., leaving a makeup trail about ½ inch
thick in the middle and tapered at the ends.
3. On the upper lid, put concealer on the area right
where your lashes begin and the fold of your eyelid.
For lines that run from your nose down to the outer
corners of your mouth, start in the corner of the nostril
where it joins your cheek, and fill it in with concealer.
Follow the line right down to the outer corner of your
mouth.
6. If you have any acne or scars, you can apply some
concealer directly to those areas as well.
Use your fingertip to GENTLY blend it in until it no
longer looks pasty. The outer edges of the areas can
be smeared to a gradual thinness so it won't look obvious
when you put on foundation over it.
Next, apply your foundation using a cosmetic sponge.
Dab (don't drag) the sponge over the areas you just
concealed. Take your time; this is as important as the
concealer steps. Your face should be evenly colored
with less noticeable wrinkles and circles. Finish with
the rest of your makeup.
