I will be breaking down all the steps, explaining and giving you lots of tips that will help you along the way while doing your

makeup

, it doesn't matter if you are a professional or if you are a super beginner, it's okay, I understand you, let's do it right. It started out good, so we're going to start with the eyebrows and we're going to start with a clean face and we're definitely going to thread our eyebrows and shave them before we start.

This will allow for a very clean and precise application, okay? The next thing we are going to do is What we are going to do is create an outline on the lower edge first following the natural shape of the eyebrow. It is very important to follow the natural shape of the eyebrow and you are going to repeat this at the top like I am doing here, so you are going to do this by creating small strokes from the front towards the tail of the eyebrow and the next thing you will do is Fill in the eyebrow scent very gently with your eyebrow pencil, so I am using to fill in her eyebrows the K.

Beauty Brow Perfector Pencil in intense dark color and this is perfect because one thing that is very essential is to use a pencil of eyebrows that actually match your eyebrow hairs to create a very natural look. The great thing about this brow pencil is that it has a very fine tip that gives you precision and control as you create the hair strokes and define the brow for precision, so the last thing I'm going to do is go to the front of the brow. eyebrow and create some hair strokes. To complete the look and very importantly, if you already have super full eyebrows, you don't need to add a lot of hair.

The strokes only fill in where you need it, just fill in the areas that are sparse, and there you have your beautiful eyebrows. Let's move on to the next thing, which is to clean under the eyebrows with concealer. Okay, we're going to clean up under the brows with concealer and the reason we do this is to define the shape of the brows and refine the edges and give the brows a clean, polished look, it also helps give a more lifted look. to the eyebrows so I love doing this so what you want to do here is just grab a concealer that matches the skin nothing too. light if something could be a little bit lighter and then you want to take a concealer brush, something that's flat and thin and you just gently go under the eyebrows and create a line and drag the line down after dragging the line down, just you want to go with a fluffy blending brush and blend the concealer so it blends well with the lid, so now I'm going to prep the lids and basically I'm going to apply some concealer or eyeshadow base. all over the lid and that's just going to create a smooth, even canvas so our eyes have something to hold on to, it also allows the eyeshadow to come out more vibrant and it also makes it last longer so here I am.

It's used as a long-lasting concealer as an eyeshadow base and you basically just pat it on your lid and rub it all over until it's dry and matte, and if it's not dry and matte you'll definitely want to set it with a little bit of the right pressed powder so it doesn't make your ey Shadow smudge when it comes time to blend a very affordable drugstore concealer is the Milani concealer and it is perfect and you can use it as a base for ey Shadow so now that we have Prepare your eyes, it's time. for hey Shadow so before we start I'm going to show you some blending techniques so here I'm showing them on the back of my hand so it's very important to look at how I'm blending on the back of my hand.

Don't press hard, okay, I'm gently brushing my hand again and this is exactly how I want you to blend your eyes. Shadow, you want to be very gentle when blending, point your brush directly at your eyelid and blend back and forth and in small circles. movements in the crease, okay, now we will do it in the eyelid, so we will start to blend the crease; however, if you don't know where your crease is, you need to feel it and that's basically where it is. your eyeball meets your socket now that area is where your folds are so look at me again.

I'm just going to point my brush at the crease that your brush should sink into when you find the crease, that's how you know where it is and I'm going to start gently, I'm doing circular motions back and forth, as you can see I'm building the shadow of eyes with small circular movements and I stay low in the crease, it is very important to stay low in the crease because you don't want your eyes the shadow to move too high on the brow, that won't look very flattering, okay, so we continue blurring. Most of your time doing makeup will be spent blending, so the next very important tip I have for you should always start with lighter colors and then work your way up to darker colors, especially if you are a beginner.

For example, if you're mixing a crease color and you're looking for a brown, simply start with a brown that looks a little darker than your skin tone or something that pops a little against your skin tone and then, if you want, after you've mixed, you can get it darker and darker, so now we're going to go for a darker brown. and we're going to blend the outer crease, so to do this it's important that you take a small blending brush and make tight circular motions from the outer crease. I also ended up blending this line up to the front. of the eye as well because I just wanted to intensify the whole eye crease area and blend this out because I'm sure you might have a little bit of harshness there, especially if you're a beginner and you want to clean it up. fluffy brush and you just want to do circular motions, a lot of circular motions back and forth until all your hard lines are gone, okay, so since I'm going for polish and precision, I'm going to grab a piece of tape and I'm going to stick it on the end of the eye, now it's important to remove some of the stickiness from the tape so it doesn't hurt you or your client, okay?

I'm going to go in with that same brown color. and I'm going to blend the tape literally when you blend the tape, when you remove the tape, it's going to give you a clean crisp wind effect and it's so sexy I love it, it gives a super high end professional look. Glamorous and dramatic look so you definitely want to do that if you're also going for that look now because I want to define the eyelid more, I'm just going to buff it in with a little bit of the same concealer uh so you just need to go for your eyelid now your eyelid starts just below your crease, okay, so you want to carve it out and then I'm going to go on top with a little bit of matte eyeshadow and pat it all over the lid region, like this.

Right now you're going to take a small blending brush and you're going to dip it back into that dark brown, now you're going to blend, you're going to blend your transition properly, so you're going to To blend from that dark brown in the outer crease just into the color matte on the lid, what you're doing here is creating a transition, a seamless, seamless transition between the two colors, very important, especially for a polished look, so now that we have it. "We're going to create a line, so since we want the line to be sharp, make sure the tape is nice there and you're going to draw a line with the eyeliner from the outer lid to the lid, and that's it." It doesn't have to be too fancy, but if you want to keep it a little bit thin, then you should go ahead and smudge the line immediately because we're going for a smudged eyeliner effect, it's going to be so salty and so sexy, there's the final look and also You can apply a little black eyeshadow over the eyeliner if it doesn't look pigmented enough, so we're going to move on to my favorite part, which is the skin, and I'm going to prep the skin for using wet uriz hair as a base. , if you didn't know that moisturizer is a base, it hydrates the skin and will create a nice smooth surface for makeup application, so since my muse hair has oily skin, I will use something called Mania Milk and some people use it on the face in the areas that get oily, right over the T Zone area, because what it does has mattifying properties, so it will mattify the skin and help make the makeup long-lasting.

So if you have very oily skin you can try doing this, just apply it where it gets oily, don't use it if you have sensitive skin and definitely don't use it if you have dry or normal skin, okay so let's move on forward. Oh, and definitely dry the milk of magnesia before working on it, it should turn white before you start working on it, so the next thing you're going to do is apply the foundation. I thought about this for a long time if I had to go into it all. the details of the Foundation match, but I think I'm going to make a separate video for that, so definitely subscribe and hit that Bell button. um CU, I might make that my next video, it'll be too long if I start talking about it. all of this in this video, but I'll give you some tips, you definitely need to find a foundation that matches your undertone, if you don't know what your undertone is, you can basically go to the makeup content, they can help you with that or you.

I can wait for my next video or buy my ebook, but after finding a foundation that matches your skin tone, you basically need to find a foundation that when you apply it to your skin and walk away from the mirror, it basically looks like it's your skin It looks like it matches your skin very well and there are other skin concerns like some for some people their face may be darker than their body, for some people their face may be lighter than their body now these are other concerns and I'm going to cover this in my next video, so like I said, just subscribe, hit the Bell button and let me know down in the comments if you want to see that video too.

Okay, so to blend your foundation, basically, just If you want to apply a little bit of foundation all over your face, then you want to take one of these brushes to blend the color foundation and you want to pat it on your face, never drag always, pat if you want that super flawless finish and that's basically it. Now we're going to continue with contouring and highlighting, so I'm just going to apply the concealer around the t-one area, so under the eyes in this triangle it's very important to place the concealer exactly where I'm doing it now in terms of concealer color, please, if you are a beginner, keep the color to tone.

Shades lighter than your skin tone. Don't use this light. I really don't know why I chose this light. I guess it's because I'm extra but stay two shades lighter, okay, you don't need to lighten more than that and then I'm going to apply my Contour. Now I'm going to put on my contour and I'm going to use the K. Beauty Sun Sculpting Tanning Sticks. I love them. They are so creamy. Use them for bronzing and contouring to sculpt all at the same time. Yes, there we have it. Take a screenshot. Apply your Contour like this. Make sure you keep your Contour on your The actual cheekbone is not underneath.

Okay, now we're going to blend the outline and as you can see, it's very easy to blend. I just use a small blending brush and pat it until it looks blurry. against your cheek, okay, basically you want to erase any hard lines on the contour right now, the next thing I'm going to do is apply a little bit of foundation right under the contour, this will help you, especially if you're a beginner to clean up your lines. contour and make your face look swept up, so I did that and I'm just using the same brush that I used to blend the foundation, to just pat it on, okay and then I'm going to Use that same brush with the Contour just to blend the Contour and delete the marked line that separates the base and the Contour.

Okay, you see that there, so now I'm going to go to the forehead and I'm going to blend with my foundation brush the transition between the contour and the highlights on the forehead and on the chin, and that's what leaves me, okay , now makeup is all about the details, okay, now I'm just going to blend these little lines around your eyebrows and between your eyebrows to blend out that highlight so it looks all come together to look perfect, okay, never forget these little details and I just go ahead and apply my same foundation and I just used it to sculpt the eyebrows and make them look even sharper and neater on the forehead.

I'm just using a brush to take the roughness out of the forehead and I use a small blending brush just to go back and forth. on the nose to blend the highlight on my nose. See, I go back again with a small brush to blend the contour on the sides of the nose and go up and down as well as back and forth from the contour to the highlight. the nose to soften the contour of the nose. Okay, the next thing I'm going to do is blend the concealer into my eyes. Now you want to start by blending the edges, always blend the edges first and move up, okay?

I'm just taking this little blending brush here and I'm blending the edge back and forth up and down and after that it blends really well, you've got a nice transition.between the color, the Contour color and the concealer color, then you're going to go. on the concealer under the eyes and you just want to keep pattingpatting until you get a nice smooth creamy consistency, blend it well, so now to make sure there are no harsh lines, you want a smooth transition from the concealer to the contour, just taking my foundation brush and going back and forth from contour to highlight color.

I hope that all makes sense and just for more flawlessness, you can use a little sponge, a damp sponge and you can just pat the concealer under your eyes to reduce the product and make it even more flawless. Now this step is called highlighting, so if you had used a concealer that was two shades lighter, this is where you will need to use a slightly lighter concealer to brighten the eyes and give it a more glamorous look, and to blend this additional concealer That I'm using. a beauty blending sponge, this is what it looks like now that we finished blending our contour and highlighting, what do you think?

Now we're going to go in and set up the under eye region and we'll do it using a black sponge. Mirac Cosmetics proprietary setting powder, the shade is cinnamon and I'm just going to use a triangular puff and apply a generous amount of powder under the eyes, up to the nose, on the chin. Now it is very important that you take some powder in the middle. of your hand a little bit and remove the excess moisturizing oil around the mouth on the forehead and brush off the powder that's near the cheek because this is where we're going to put our contour so you just want that excess. powder under the eyes, but you definitely see the cheek area where you put the blush.

Wipe off the excess powder right after because we don't want to blush in that air, okay? And I'm just Mak making sure to stroke the forehead. I'm just applying more powder on my forehead, down my nose and also on my chin just to bake to give it more shine and make the makeup longer so now I'm going to grab the K Beauty Artist Essential Powder Palette because now it's time to set our Contour so I'm just setting up the Contour regions using a big fluffy brush and as you can see her makeup is starting to look really matte and flawless and I love it so next I'm going to use a darker color. just to deepen the cheekbones, I put on a little bit more fine, so this is just going to add a little bit more depth to the cheekbones and definition, so now I'm going to add a little bit of color to the cheeks, so I'm just going to use this brown. color that has a little bit of red in it and I'm using it to contour my nose and cheeks and this will just add more vibrancy to the face.

I love vibrancy when I do my makeup so now I'm going to define the cheap ones even more with my signature purple blush technique and I love doing this color enough because it really helps to sculpt the cheekbones and give depth and sometimes I hear that it's really hard to find colors that don't. Don't you look super ashy on darker skin tones use a purple blush honey you'll love it let me know what you think so that's the final look after using a purple blush and now I'm just sitting under the cheekbones with a little dust. from the powder palette and I'm just applying a little bit of powder that is close to her skin tone under her cheekbones just to sculpt it and give it more definition and ALS I also applied a little bit at the end of her eyes to make it look under the eyes.

Really sharp and lifted too, now it's time to frame the eyes with a little bit of black eyeliner and black eyeshadow to blend it out and give it a sultry, sultry look, then I'm going to clean up the lips and contour the lips. using Sunscope bronzing stick I love to match my contour with my lip liner that's why I'm using this for lip liner so my technique is to have the client or yourself seal their lips and apply the lip line lightly above the lip line for like a plumper look and then on the lip scent, I'm using my favorite nude color for deep skin tones and this is called K Beauty.

Make your xcry sexy lipstick melt it looks great on dark skin tones and I just applied some. pink lip gloss on top to give it a cute bubblegum brat look, so the next thing I'm going to do is apply blush. I'm going to do the Barb blush technique, so watch me here. I apply several different colors of blush from the blush palette, this is optional, but if you want to look like a doll, just follow what I'm doing here, so I'm actually using three different shades from the blush palette and continue increasing from light to dark to get a nice blush transition.

Now it's time to blend or set the powder in the T Zone, so I'm just blending the setting powder that's been baking on my forehead, nose, and chin. and now I'm removing the setting powder under my eyes. I hope I don't go too FAS here, let me know in the comments and for an extra glow I'm just grabbing a powder puff and a color from the artist's essential powder palette. and I'm just patting on this brighter color under the eyes because we're going for a light doll look, let me know what you think so far. Please say that no filter has been added to this video because I wanted everyone to see what it is. it looked like in real life and we added more blush on top just to make it stand out even more and to finish this off we're just going to apply a little bit of highlighter on the nose in the tear ducts a little bit on the cheek and then I'm going to take a little bit of powder from the powder palette and press it onto your neck because we want your neck to look flawless for the photo, okay and to finish this off we're going to seal it with some setting spray, dry your face and then I'm going to take a brush, just do this for extra flawlessness, get some pressed powder and pat it on your face after you've spritzed it with setting spray and then apply your and Honey's favorite mascara.
