Basically, I made this page because I noticed so many people did not know how to apply make-up properly. I have taken several lessons and hope to become a make up artist some day, and thought I would share some of my knowledge with you. Thank you to MAC Cosmetics. You can purchase the products I used on this site, or find a location where you can buy some yourselves! Enjoy!
Foundation- I didn't use foundaiton on the picture (it would ruin it) But here are my favorite pics: Neutrogena Skin Clearing Makeup
Almay Foundation
Loreal Paris Air Wear
First pour a bit of the foundation on a sponge, then use the sponge to apply the foundation all over your face, moving it in an outward position. Then use a loose poder all over your face (practically everybrand sells them). Just apply the powder to a big, fluffy brush and apply all over. Then use a pressed powder and powder sponge on different areas that you are prone to have oilness, breakouts, etc.
Eye #1- MAC Pink Freeze #239- Apply gently to eyelid. Do not go up into eyebrow area (you will look like a clown). Use a round tip brush to apply MAC Traux #224 to eyelid. To do this you need to keep your eye open and apply to the crease with a swish motion.
Eye #2- MAC Brill (eyelid) and MAC Tilt (crease) Do same actions as above.
For mascara I recommend: Maybeline Full & Soft Masacra in Very Black
MAC Pro. Coal Black
First, apply clear mascara to your lashes (TRY- Covergirl Mascara in Clear) Use an eye lash curler to curl the whole eye lash. Open, and hold really tight for a slow count of ten. If needed repeat. Now wait five seconds and apply black mascara. Use two coats for dark lashes.
On your eyebrows you can put a little glitter to spruce things up a bit, but i chose not to on the picture. TRY- NYC Glitter.
On the cheeks I used MAC blush in Cubic. Use a power brush (they are better then the blush ones- trust me) and ( I know this sounds stupid) Put on the biggest smile you have. Apply the blush to the apples of your cheeks (those round things on your cheeks when you smile) Out on more then you normally would (you will be up onstage!)
Lips- My Favorite! I used a lipliner in MAC Oak all around the outter part of the lips. On the inner parts I put MAC Nico, topped with gloss all over. To make lips look as full as possible start on the middle of the lip and move outward. Re- apply as often as needed.
