Makeup Tips & Tricks

 Tips:

  • Make certain that your moisturizer has had enough time to fully absorb into your skin before applying foundation.  Use a tissue to remove any excess oil or moisturizer from the skins surface before applying makeup.
  • These powders can be applied wet for a dramatic effect or to be used as liquid eyeliner.  When applied dry the powders give a sophisticated subtle effect.
  • These powders can be used on the face and body.  As eyeshadow, blushed, mixed into lipstick or lip gloss and apply with clear nail polish.  The only colors that cannot be applied to lips are the blues.  All the other colors can be used all over the face and body.
  • For the most consistent makeup applications wash your makeup brushes and sponges in mild shampoo once a week.
  • A lighter shade of concealer can be used as a highlighter under the brows, on the cheek bones and down the center of the nose to add dimension to the face.

Step 2:  Apply 1 or 2 pumps of BB Creme to the back of your hand using it a palette and dot a small amount on your forehead, nose, chin and cheeks and blend as you would moisturizer.

Step 3:  Apply your powder in layers until you obtain the coverage you desire.
