the first step to understanding the makeup application process, is to completely understand your bone structure. to look at it in a completely different way.
when applying makeup on a model or a client, i rarely look at the entire face as a whole as it can be a little overwhelming. so where do i start?
i look at each individual feature of the bone structure.
when analyzing your bone structure understand that what you like and don't like are your personal instincts. trust them.
here, we want to deal with the areas that you feel need improving. you truly are your own best critic, and your own best teacher as well. faces are far more than being an oval, or square, or round face shape. it's the individuality of your features that truly make up your individuality.
so how do you analyze your features?
you look at each individually on it's own merit.
my opinion? a feature neither looks good or bad, right or wrong. it just gives you a starting point as to why.
let's get started
_____________________________________1. print out the
evaluation form.
enter your notes and analysis as you go through the chapters.
2. take a photograph headshot of yourself.
either black & white or color is fine.
shooting tips:
3. once you have your picture, have handy a
ruler
pencil
4 pages of clear tracing paper.
you will be drawing on the tracing paper to measure and analyze. though it may seem technical, you will start to see your face in a different way.

prepare, prepare, prepare.
want your makeup to go on flawless? well, the canvas has to be prepared then. and that means moisturizer. the easiest way to get just the right amount on, is by applying it with a makeup sponge. the perfect amount will be evenly applied over the entire face.
define your features:
soften the harshness of a sharp cheekbone, by applying blush in circular motions on the apples of the cheeks. make eyes sharper by straightening a round eye by applying liner only on the top eyelashes to give the appearance of a more horizontal line.
the eyes have it.
want eyeshadow to be picture perfect all day? get in the habit of applying foundation on your eyelids only first. then apply your eye shadows. when done, lightly mist water or your evian bottle mister over eyes to set. let dry. then apply the rest of your foundation and makeup as usual. by doing eyes first, you save precious minutes by not having to clean up your fly away eyeshadow powders.
let's cover up.
want perfect coverage? apply foundation first and then your concealer. foundation will hide about 75% of all the discolorations you see on a bare face. then just go in with concealers on the most obvious. you save time and product this way.
blushing
blush is a sure fire way to look 5 years younger, instantly. how? with the right color. look for the most natural flush color you can find. trick: apply blush on the inside of your wrist. if it looks natural here, it will look natural on your cheeks.
eyebrows give expression.
make sure yours say the right thing. eyebrow powder should be 1-2 shades lighter than your hair color. the same color can look too overpowering on a face and darker than your hair color is just too severe.
lash curling - make it an essential.
nothing opens up eyes more than curling the eyelashes. make it easy by curling at the base of the lashes, hold for 10 seconds, walk 1/2 way out, and then curl for 10 seconds more. always curl on clean lashes.
mascara basics
want model length lashes? do what the pros do. apply mascara to the tops of the lashes as well as the underneath. look down into your mirror, and brush your mascara wand on the upper side of your lashes...then look up and brush through again on the bottom side.
lips 101
want a perfect lip line? use your light brown eye pencil to line lips. apply a bit more on the inside corners of the lip on both top and bottom to create a depth on the outside of the lips. apply your lipstick or gloss over. you've just created a 3-d effect lip. larger, brighter, fuller.
