Make up

Post by Rebecca Debra »

Is there a faster or easier way to apply make up except the old fashioned way?
1) concealer, 2)base 3) powder, 4) eye shadow 5) eye liner 6)masscara..
I really have a hard time with concealer and base?
I'm a beginner and I really do not know much. You ladies know a lot more than I do. Thanks for your help. Rebecca D.

the best way - for me anyway is to have a very close shave using shaving oil and a two bladed razor. Straight after this I apply a light moisturiser and leave for around 30 mins. I am lucky I don't need a concealer. I use a powder foundation, I tried the liquid ones but all they created on me was a mess.

I have a how to make up guide I could email to you if you want it.

Best wishes
Susan

Can't say there is. But there are options, like having the hair permanently removed so you don't need concealer, foundation or powder, unless going out for special occasion.

Then there's the air brush technique.

Otherwise, is moisturize (very important) let dry for 15-30 minutes; concealer over hard to hide areas; foundation; eye makeup; lipstick; then powder.

I do powder last. Helps set everything, including the lipstick. I use a translucent powder.

Thank you ladies for all your help. Susan, I tried the oil. I could not find any shaving oil so I tried a little olive oil. It really gets close. Thanks again ladies Rebecca ***()***
