FOUNDATION APPLICATION
• Foundation is not meant to add color to your skin. Must match exact. Color comes from blush, bronzer, eye shadows, lipsticks.
• Apply with small kabuki brush

CONCEALER

BRONZER
• Apply with angled blush brush
• Apply across check bone, temples, bridge of nose, chin to add color and warmth to skin tone
• Adds hint of color, warmth and healthy glow to skin
BLUSH
• Apply very small amount with angled blush brush to apple of cheeks lightly
FINISHING POWDER
• Apply with large round brush
• Reduces large pores, eliminates shine, gives airbrush look
• Apply lightly dusting over face to set the makeup
EYE APPLICATION
Lisa Liddiards’s “7” Eye Technique
• BASE EYE COLOR: Apply small round brush. Apply eye shadow color (same color as eye lid skin tone) to cover entire lid, eye lashes and under lower lash to hide discoloration.
• CREASE: Apply with small round crease brush. Apply darkest eye shadow color to the crease making a 7 to outer corner of eyes. Start at crease equal to the pupil, stroke up/out to the lash line, drag down to connect with outer lash line. Make 7 prevents droopy eye and lifts.
• CREASE OVERLAY: Apply with small round brush. Apply medium eye shadow color to soften crease
• LID – Apply small round brush. Apply lightest eye shadow color to the inside half of lid. Start at the pupil, brushing in towards nose.
• HIGHLIGHT BROW BONE: Highlight brow bone with lightest eye shadow color under brow and connect to crease to blend together.
• STARLIGHT EFFECT: Apply with small round brush. Using very light sparkle or frost eye shadow color in a vertical line at the very middle of eyelid and blend lightly
• INNER CORNER – Apply small dot inside inner corner of each eye
• BLEND: Blend all shadows together if needed
EYE LINER
• Apply with lip brush
• Apply eye shadow over eye pencil. Flip up at end
Apply dry or get your brush wet and apply your eye shadow as a liquid liner
MASCARA
• Apply with disposable mascara brush – No double dipping.
• Apply mascara to top first, thicker application on outer corner lashes. Apply what’s left on brush to lower lashes
• Can apply black eye shadow to bottom lashes lightly if desired
LIPS
LIPSTICK
• Use disposable spatula to ‘chunk off’ tiny bit of lipstick and give to each guest on back of hand
• Apply with lip brush
LIP GLOSS
• Use q-tip and dip in container and give to each guest
• Apply with lip brush
• Use alone or over lipstick. Great for highlighting lips
Remember, you can use your blush and eye shadows as lip colors and vice versa. I use my eye shadows for lip color and have a blast. Anything goes with Mineral Makeup.
See you on the inside!
