Eye shadow:

·      Apply powder under eyes heavily to help remove any loose powder after.

·      Use light, medium and dark shades of powder to shape eyes.

·      Hold brush close to the tip for better control.

·      Apply light shadow first, all the way up to the brow.

·      Using the medium shade, start to shape the eye by deepening the socket and ceating a side ‘v’ shape (along the lash line and deepening the socket).

·      Use cotton buds to help blend in the different shades and to correct.

·      Use the darkest shade to deepen the socket further and create more impact.

·      Brush excess powder away from underneath the eyes.

Eye liner:

·      Use a flat brush and gel liner.

·      Stretch eyelid but pulling eyelid out to the side (use cotton pad to avoid removing base makeup).

·      Getting right into the lash line, use backwards and forward strokes to make sure eyeliner gets right into the root on the lashes.

·      Flick the ends of the liner out at the sides to create the illusion of larger eyes.

·      Neatly finish off line using smooth strokes. 

Brow:

·      Using the correct shade of powder and a flat brush, gently stroke powder over the eyebrow hairs.

·      Angle the brush to create a better definition.

Mascara:

·      Get model to keep eyes open but look down.

·      Using a disposable wand, dip into the mascara.

·      Apply mascara on to of the lashes to cover the powder.

·      ‘Wiggle’ underneath the lashes to get right into the root and work your way out to the tip.

·      For bottom lashes, ask model to look up and use apply gently.

·      Correct any mistakes using a cotton bud.

Lips:

·      Prep lips by moisturising.

·      If possible, ask model to exfoliate and moisturise lips day before.

·      Line the lips to sharpen the look and stop the lipstick from bleeding (draw dots and join to help).

·      Blot and powder.

·      Using a flat edge/angled brush, fill in lips with colour.

·      Using the process of colouring, blotting and powdering repeatedly (up to 3 times) the colour will last longer.

·      To correct, use a cotton bud.

·      Try highlighting the cupid’s bow with highlighter or concealer to create a stronger impact.

·      To make lips look fuller, gloss the lips (in the centre).
