: Make-up!
Make-Up is part of A LOOK.

How the everyday woman “pull off” a look?
1. Clothes that fit your body, is in style, and looks good on you.
2. Accessories that complement your body and clothes you are wearing.
3. Make-up and Hair that complement the entire look you are trying to achieve.
4. Confidence inside of you.



















Why bother?
What you wear and how you war it, tells a story that everyone can read.  Styling one’s self into a story is part of the fun.  You can recreate yourself and say, “I am telling a story here… and everyone is going to listen to it.”

The stars do it all of the time.  But they get a lot of help from make-up artists and stylists.

















Here’s some help!

6 Simple Make-Up Steps

Prep Skin: Protect skin with sunscreen, no matter the skin type!

Cover: Cover ALL blemishes with foundation base/ concealer.

Set: With translucent powder!  This could conceal blemishes for up to 2 days.

Bronze: Use blush to add color back into your face but as a shadow maker, to highlight your cheeks, forehead, nose, eyebrow bone, chin, and jaw line. This adds dimension to your face.  This also helps the face look “finished”.

Fill in: Eyes, eyebrows, and lips with liner, lipstick and Mascara.  You decide how extreme you want to go with it.  You have your base, so if you go gentle you will get a really “natural” look and if you fill in deeper lines, you’ll get a more “vampy”or “sultry” look.

Glow: Use a pearlized translucent power over the highlighted areas of your face.  And add gloss to the lips.




Tips

* Use eye shadow color on lips with a small brush for lip color that looks natural lasts all day, even after a meal.
* Shine is bad/ Glow is good.
* Blending colors and lines give a more natural look
* Make up is drawing.  Do a Solo Slumber Party.  Schedule a night out of the week where you can practice drawing and blending colors on your face.  It’s fun, and you'll love the results, you’ll see.
* Lip gloss is SEXY no matter the trends.  Don’t you forget it!
* Mascara will ALWAYS brighten up your eyes.
