STEPS:

  1. Give your lashes a quick squeeze with the lash curler to flare them upwards.
  2. Hold the wand horizontally and wiggle it while pulling the lashes towards your nose. Do this three times.
  3. Wiggle the wand while pulling the lashes away from your nose to fan them out. Do this three times as well.
  4. Rotate the wand vertically and paint each individual lash with the tip.
  5. Wiggle the wand across the bottom lashes.

Some Brow Guidance

TheBeautyDepartment.com-Brow-Guidance

 

TOOLS:

  • A straight edge (I used the pick side of a comb)
  • A brow liner pencil
  • A brow powder
  • Stiff-angled brow brush
  • Brow Gel

STEPS:

  1. Place the straight edge along the underside of the brow, from the end to the arch, and trace a line with the brow liner.
  2. Place the straight edge along the top of the brow, from the end to the arch again, and trace a line with the brow liner.
  3. Place the straight edge along the top of the brow, from the arch to the beginning of the brow (by your nose), and trace a line with the liner.
  4. Place the straight edge along the bottom of the brow, from the bottom of the arch to the beginning of the brow, and trace a line connecting it to the one from step 1. Steps 1-4 basically drew an outline of the perimeter your brow.
  5. Dip your brow brush into the shadow powder and start drawing individual hairs, mimicking your own, by flicking the brush upwards in little strokes. This technique is more tedious than merely shading it in but looks much more realistic.
  6. Continue drawing hairs all the way to the arch.
  7. Fill in the arch with more curved motions, determined by the direction of the hair growth.
  8. Switch to downward strokes from the arch to the end.
  9. With the brow gel, brush hairs upwards if you’re like me and like a more natural look. If not, brush them from the nose towards the arch to lock them in place.

Contouring

Another great blog we came across, was one by Amy Nadine  at The Beauty Department.  She had a great step-by-step guide to contouring showing the steps with the very beautiful Lauren Conrad.  So here’s her tips!

TOOLS:

Foundation

Sponge or Foundation Brush

Bronzing Powder or Cream Bronzer

Flat-headed Bronzing Brush

 

1.     Apply foundation all over face and neck with a sponge, foundation brush or fingers.

2.     Look in the mirror and suck in your cheeks.  This will instantly show you exactly where your cheekbones are.  Sweep bronzing powder/cream bronzer with a flat-headed bronzer brush just slightly under cheekbones from the hollows to your ear.

3.     Sweep bronzer in circular motions directly on temples.

4.     Contour along the hairline.

5.     Contour directly underneath your jawline.

6.     Blend edges with a sponge.
