You love to wear makeup. But you have a major handicap when it comes to putting it on. The outcome is a hurried dash of lipstick on the lips and a coat of mascara on the lashes. But it is not really very difficult to get your makeup right if you have the correct tools and a steady hand. We got Charmaine Rao, Makeup Artist, Yves Saint Laurent India to give us pointers on the basic makeup kit, and the process. |

• After cleansing the face, tone and moisturize. Then apply a makeup base to even out imperfections and increase the hold of the makeup.
• Find the right colour of foundation that best suits your skin tone. Apply the foundation all over your face and a bit on the neck to smooth out the colour.
• Then apply a highlighter to the under eyes and some concealer to hide any imperfections. Blend, blend, and blend for a seamless complexion. Set the foundation with some loose powder.
• For the eyes, apply a base colour on your lids up to your eyebrows. This base colour should be lighter than your skin tone. Then take a medium colour and apply this to the outer corner of your eyelids. Finally, with a darker eye-shadow, create a deeper crease. The key to applying eye-shadow is blending. Line the upper and lower waterlines with an eye pencil and finish off with mascara.
• Apply blush to the apples of the cheeks blending it outwards.
• Line the lips and finish with lipstick and gloss. |
