How Apply a cream or powder highlighter along the apple of the cheek and along the brow bone under the eyebrow. Ensure the highlighter is a shimmer not a glitter finish. are many brow products on the market these days from pencils, to waxes, gels and mascaras – talk to a professional to determine what suits your skill set and brow needs. 4 Why 7 Why Contour Powder Defines the cheeks creating the illusion of higher cheek bones. Can also be used under the chin to diminish a fuller chin/neck. Myth It looks too unnatural. How A correctly applied contour powder should not look like you have any contour on. Choose a shade that is similar to your skin tone only slightly darker. Avoid contour powders with shimmer as these can add fullness to the face and counter act the idea of contouring. 5 Why Finishing Powder To set makeup or to wear as a light coverage over a moisturiser. Myth Will cake and gather in fine lines and wrinkles. Making the complexion appear older looking.  How Ensure you have a finishing powder that suits your skin tone and is fine in texture. With a large brush apply a light dusting of finishing powder down the nose, over the cheeks and across chin and forehead. Brow Pencil or Brow Cream Why Define the eyebrows which frame the face. Myth Will appear “drawn on” and not natural when the brow hair is minimal or grey. How Using light feathery strokes apply a brow product of your choice to fill in or emphasise the natural brow line. There 6 Safety Learning Program Eyeshadow contouring Creates definition to the eye socket – giving the illusion of an uplifted eye. Myth Too old to wear eye shadow as it will accentuate saggy eye lids. How Apply to the middle section of the eye just above the eye bone to create definition and shape without gathering in any creases. 8 Why Eyeliner  Creates eye definition and variety to make up look. Can also make lashes appear fuller. Myth Too old to wear eyeliner as it is too harsh. How Using an eye liner of your choice apply light feathery strokes along the lash line and then blend with a fine eyeshadow brush. 9 Why Myth Mascara Opens up the eyes. Will make lashes clump together and smudge. How Firstly, always ensure your mascara is not old, dried up or out of date. Secondly, NEVER “pump” your mascara wand in and out of the tube - this creates air bubbles and can form it to ‘clump’ once applied. When applying mascara start with your top lashes - in a sweeping motion apply mascara UP the top lash, back DOWN the top lash (this elongates the lashes), finishing with a final application UP the top lash (this will open up the eye). Finish by applying mascara in a sweeping motion horizontally along the bottom lashes – this will ensure you do not get any mascara under the eye. 10 Why Lip Gloss Will add a subtle vibrancy to the entire face. Is often softer than wearing a light lipstick colour as it will not gather in any fine lines. Myth Too old to wear shine. How  In a shade that is correct for your colour palette apply a sweep of gloss along the top and bottom lip. Dab your lips together and finish by applying another sweep of gloss to achieve an extra glossy finish. Recently many companies have bought out lip gloss in a lip stick consistency – these are great as they are not ‘tacky’ like most lip gloss wands. Need More Help?
