 MAKEUP BRUSH
Good brushes feel soft and full and should not shed hairs on your face when you’re using them.

Makeup brush
Each brush comes in different shape, volume and texture.
The softer the brush hair, the softer the color applied
smoothly and evenly, creating a more flawless finish.

How to clean.
If you’re going to invest in nice makeup brushes, taking care of them properly will allow
them to last for years. This means routinely cleaning them. All you need is a gentle
liquid soap (baby shampoo works well). Run some warm water and add a bit of soap or
shampoo to the palm of your hand. Swirl your brushes against your palm until the water
rinses clear. Squeeze the excess water out of the brush heads and reshape them with your
hands. Let them air-dry lying flat—not standing up.

 SKIN TYPE
Sometimes your skin will behave differently depending on the season or changes in your lifestyle, find a
routine that works for you, making your skin look healthy, smooth, and clear.

DRY
Dry skin looks and feels rough and dull, sometimes with redness or flakiness. It may feel tight, and you
may see fine lines right after washing your face. Hydrating and protective skincare products are good,
including gentle cleansers, hydrating serums, rich moisturizers, and face oils.

NORMAL
“normal” could just mean that your skin is balanced and doesn’t have any uncomfortable issues. Balance
is generally the goal for all skin types, but even balanced skin sometimes experiences breakouts or
dullness. A proper cleansing, exfoliating, and moisturizing routine will usually keep things in check.

COMBINATION
A mixture of oily and dry. (Some people are oily in their T-zone–the forehead and nose—and dry on
their cheeks; others could have dehydrated skin that’s also breakout-prone.) Learning which regions
of your face require what kind of care means that you can address your issues in the most optimal way

OILY
If your skin produces excess sebum year-round, your skin type is likely oily. On the one hand, this is great
because your skin’s natural oils protect and moisturize, so it’ll naturally stave off fine lines and maintain
elasticity longer. On the downside, oily skin can easily lead to breakouts. Make sure you have a good
exfoliating toner to keep those pores clear.

 PREP THE SKIN
Foundation always looks best on skin that’s been properly cleansed and moisturized. It is free of any flakes or texture
- make sure that the skin is smooth—not dry, not oily.

A good moisturizer will do the trick, and a dab of eye cream will fill in any fine lines around the eyes. For dry skin, go
for a nourishing cream (you can even add a drop or two of face oil if your skin is extra parched), and if you have oily
skin, opt for an oil-free moisturizer. You don’t need a lot, just enough to hydrate your skin and make it look refreshed.
This will give you a good starting point to know where to place foundation; oftentimes well-moisturized skin looks
fresh enough that you may realize you don’t need foundation all over your face, just in certain spots.

 FOUNDATION COLOR SELECTION
UNDERSTANDING YOUR UNDERTONE pinkish neutral yellowish
Identifying your undertone is important when it comes
to selecting the right shade of foundation for your bright
complexion. Whether you’re exceptionally pale or
have very dark skin, undertones fall into three basic
categories: warm, cool, and neutral—and each of
these has tones within it.
Cool: bluish, red, or pink
Neutral: a mixture of both warm and cool dark
Warm: golden, peachy, or yellow

Tips for Applying Under-Eye Concealer:

● Since under-eye shadows tend to have a bluish or purple cast, a pinky, peachy or yellow-toned concealer helps
counteract that, no matter your skin tone.
● Apply a tiny bit of eye cream before applying your under-eye concealer to plump and hydrate the area.
● Blending under-eye concealer with the warmth from your fingers helps to melt it into your skin seamlessly, but
if you want more coverage, a brush or makeup sponge would be more effective.
● Don’t forget to set your under-eye concealer with a bit of powder if you’re wearing eyeliner or mascara to
prevent the rest of your eye makeup from smudging.

Tools:
Once your foundation and concealer are on, you
can use a fluffy powder brush to set them with a
light dusting of face powder. This will prevent
your makeup from sliding around, and it’ll cut
excess shine. If you have oily skin, you don’t
want to skip this step, but for drier skin (or if
you’re going for a dewy look), you can target
your powder placement with a smaller powder
brush.

 EYEBROW
Eyebrows are the silent workhorse of the face. They have a big job. Eyebrows frame the facial features, creating balance, so
when they change or fall out completely, the balance of the face is thrown off -- and the effect can be dramatic.

Tips for Applying Eye Shadow:
Always make sure to tap off excess powder from your eye shadow brush before applying to your eyelid to prevent shadow fallout.
Take a step back from the mirror in between each step of your eye makeup to make sure your shadow and liner placement is where you
want it and both eye are balanced.
If something looks a little off, adjust accordingly.
Keep cotton swabs around to fix tiny errors or pick up fallen shadow that might land on your cheeks.
For those with mature skin or fine lines around their eyes, make sure that your powder shadows aren’t too dry or flakey. Heavily textured
eye shadow that’s either extremely matte or very shiny looks much more dramatic on mature skin as well.
Opt for shadow with a subtle shimmer or satin finish for a natural-looking effect

 Applying Mascara:
MASCARA
Keep clean spoolie brushes on hand to separate lashes that have been stuck together right after applying mascara.
Before applying, wipe any excess mascara from the tip of the wand onto the tube’s opening or on a tissue to prevent clumps.
Look down when applying so you can get the wand as close to the root of your lashes as possible without smudging the makeup onto your
eyelid.
Always make sure you apply the makeup underneath your lashes, not on top of them (which can weigh them down).
Whether or not you curl your lashes before applying mascara, gently lifting your lashes upward with a finger after the mascara is freshly
applied will help set them into a curl while the makeup is drying.
To keep your mascara from running, make sure your concealer isn’t too oily, you aren’t wearing too much eye cream, and your lids are oil free.
Using a small amount of powder before applying will help to prevent smudging

FOUNDATION FOR MATURE SKIN

Skin of a certain age and beyond will see collagen production slow down, meaning that skin loses elasticity, moisture
retention, and the ability to self-repair. Certain makeup techniques may need a bit of tweaking.

Skin prep is very important. Opt for a rich moisturizer or face oil and massage it in—this will automatically plump up any
fine lines with added hydration and therefore make them slightly less visible. Also, choose a hydrating, buildable
foundation formula rather than a thick, heavy formula.

Foundation should appear to melt into your skin without settling into any fine lines, so starting with a light application
and gradually building or layering it in the places where you want more coverage is the way to go. You may find that a
tinted moisturizer gives you the effect you want. (Matte-finish foundations tend to make mature skin look dehydrated
and mask-like.)
