I had so much fun meeting you and your sisters Connie! Here is a summary of the things we talked about. Please let me know if you have any questions.
Brows: Remember that less is more when it comes to brows. I start filling them in with a pencil and short strokes (to replicate hairs) at the middle and near the arch. Adding product, especially too much, to the front of the brows is the quickest way to make them look fake. I used the Benefit Brow Pencil in shade 3 on both of you. The spooly on the end of the brow pencil is your BEST friend! You can use it to comb through the brows and soften the product to help it look more natural.
Eyeshadow: I did the same look on both of you because it complemented your skin tones and eye colors. I used the Juvia’s Place Warrior Palette for eyeshadows. The peach matte shade (Ahosi) was the base that I used to set the primer (MAC cosmetics paint pot in Soft Ochre). Then I went in with the medium warm brown (Kano) just in the outer corner of your eyes to add some dimension. Lastly, I used the middle champagne shade (Moremi) on the inner and center of your lid to blend into the warm brown. This gave your eyes some brightness. Remember, blending is everything when it comes to eyeshadows and to make the eyes look bigger, you want to keep lighter tones on the inside corners of the eyes, and darker colors on the outside. I finished off the look with the ‘no eyeliner’ eyeliner trick using Urban Decay’s 24/7 eyeliner in Perversion. I smudged it with a dense, small pencil brush on just the outer 2/3 of your lash line, right at the base of where your lashes grow. Think of ‘connecting the dots’ between your lashes. Instead of black eyeliner on the bottom, I used the dark brown eyeshadow (Mino) from the palette with that same pencil brush, and smudged it on the outer 1/2 of your lower lash line.
Here are some of the products I used to create the healthy skin look:
-Too Faced Cosmetics Coconut Hangover Hydrating Primer
-It Cosmetics CC cream in Light (if you go to Ulta they can color match you). I blended this in with a Beauty Blender that I got damp under the faucet while squeezing. Once wet, squeeze until no more water is coming out. There should be no dripping water. These sponges are actually a better deal and work the same as the beauty blender!
-Benefit Cosmetics Face Powder in Dallas as blush. Apply to the apples of the cheeks and brush upwards and outwards to create a lifted look for the cheeks.
-Makeup Geek Highlighter as a glow on the inner corner of your eyes and the high [points of your cheekbones (remember, smile to see where the fine lines are and apply it to the smoothest areas.
Other products I used on you:
Lips- Glo Minerals Suede Matte Lip Crayon in Trademark
Lip Gloss: They don’t make the one I used on you anymore, but I also have this one from Loreal and it’s similar and much cheaper!
Some tips to remember:
Using shades and tones that are naturally found in your face/eyes/etc, will help keep your makeup looks natural and help emphasize your beautiful features. For example, sticking to warmer browns and staying away from gray toned eyeshadows will help your eyeshadow look subtle.
If I forgot anything, or you want further clarification on something, do not email me and I can explain more!
Have a great day!
