Now you have had a week to perfectly applying the correct foundation for your skin type, we will now continue on ways to accentuate your eyes, lips and cheeks and also see what products are on the Bahrain market.
Eyes/Eyebrows
Firstly, slick your eyebrows into shape, I recommend Benefits, speed brow mascara wand in brown or black.
Apply a lighter colour just under the brow, this will also give more shape to your eyebrow and also disguise any stray hairs. To make your eyes look white and bright apply a few drops of eye dew drops.
Mascara:
There are many different types of mascara out there on the market but my favourite has to be Benefits, bad gal lash.
If you have the time, maybe for an evening out, try Maybelline XXL volume and length, micro-fibre mascara.
One end adds white fibres to your lashes, then add at least two coatings of mascara from the other end. It really does make your lashes look extra long. Apply above the lashes from outer to inner corner of eye and then apply underneath your top lashes.
Blusher:
When it comes to applying blusher, to make those cheek bones stand out, start off gradually and blend until you achieve the depth you require.
Suck in your cheeks and brush along the hollows from middle cheek and continue upwards and outwards onto the temples. You can create an illusion of sharpness and slimness by applying either side of your forehead and along the jaw line.
Lipstick:
Finally time for a bit of lipstick, using a slightly blunt natural colour lip liner, carefully outline your lip line. I recommend ‘du-wop’ lip venom glosses they give a bee stung effect for a natural daytime look.
Using a white lip liner, apply along the Cupid’s bow, centre part of top lip, this will create an illusion of fullness.
To vamp your look for an evening, try ‘Moon-beam’ by Benefits it adds a warm illuminating apricot shimmer to your face, can be worn under makeup or on its own, try applying in a semi circle from end of outer eye brow to under the middle of your eyes. To limit shine, Laura Mercier loose setting powder is excellent.
Remember if eyes are heavily made up keep lips natural.
Now that I have gave you a few tips of the trade its time for you to go off and practice.
