10 Easy Steps for Everyday Makeup

posted Oct 24, 2009 12:07 AM by Suesh Singapore   [ updated Oct 30, 2009 8:03 AM ]


Step 1
Choose foundation that matches your skin tone exactly.
Apply it in dots over the central part of your face
Blend it out with a makeup brush or your fingertips until it covers your entire face

Brushes to use: Foundation brush, Flat Foundation brush, Stippling brush






Step 2

Apply a concealer that is one shade lighter than your foundation.
Dot it on under-eye circles and moustache area and blend with a brush
To conceal acne and blemishes, use one shade darker.

Brushes to use: Concealer brush








Step 3

Use a loose or pressed powder to keep foundation and concealer on longer.
Use pressed powder to touch up when you’re away from home.

Brushes to use: Powder brush, Stippling brush, Kabuki brush




Step 4

• Use a brow comb to fix unruly eyebrows if needed.

Use powdered eyebrow shadow on brows instead of pencil, which can often look unnatural.

• Apply it with a hard, slanted brush
• Start with the highest point of the arch, then follow the line of your eyebrows. Fill in the rest after.
Brushes to use: Brow brush, Full Brow brush, Brow Comb


Step 5

• Choose three colors of eye shadow: light, medium, and dark
1.Apply Lightest shade (base) – all over the eye area starting under the eyebrow
2.Apply Medium shade (2nd color) –half of the eye area (eye socket area)
 3.Apply Dark shade (3rd color) – if you have a double eyelid,  then apply eyeshadow into the area of the double eyelid. If you don’t have a double eyelid, then apply eyeshadow over the eye socket area to make your eyes look bigger.
4.Blend blend blend
Brushes to use: Eyeshadow brushes (for eyeshadow application),  Bullet brush or  Smudge brush (for blending)





Step 6

Apply eyeliner.

-
This is an option, to achieve a darker and bigger eye look. Use an eyeliner to line the lower lid (just below the lower lashes). Line only the outer two-thirds of the lower lid, or all the way across if you’re trying to achieve a darker look.
- For an everyday look, line all the way across the upper lid (just above the lash line and as close to the lashes as possible) or start the line where your lashes begin.
Brushes to use: Eyeliner brush, Eye definer brush



Step 7

• Apply mascara to upper lashes, in two thin coats to avoid clumpiness. Make sure you put mascara on the base of the lashes as well (with a zigzag-up) motion so that it will hold up well
•Choose brown mascara if your coloring is fair; black or brown-black works well for darker coloring.
Brushes to use: Mascara brush, Brow Comb (to remove any clumping)


Step 8

•Smile to find the apples of your cheeks
•Apply blush to the apples or below, whichever you prefer. Brush upwards and outwards

Brushes to use: Blush brush, Angled Blush brush, Mini Kabuki Brush







Step 9

Choose a lipstick color that’s suited to your skin tone and that’s perfect for your day look

You can mix colors and textures to suit your moods and your outfits

Brushes to use: Lip Brush


Step 10

Line lips after applying lipstick, not before. That way you won’t end up with a dark circle of lip liner after your lipstick has worn off.

Avoid combining very dark lip liner and pale lipstick.

(optional) Apply a lip gloss on top of your lipstick so that you get a shiny effect.



Care and Maintenance of Makeup Brushes

Step 1
Dust or wipe off excess makeup left on your brushes after each use.
Use a soft cloth or tissue and take care not to pull on the bristles too roughly.
Build-up causes brushes to lose effectiveness and the bristles to break down.


Step 2

Store your brushes in a case or bag to keep them dry and prevent dust build-up.
Most brush kits come with a special case designed specifically for the brushes. If you don’t have a kit, consider using an eyeglass case for storage.

Step 3

Keep your brushes in a flat or upright position when storing to maintain their shape.

Step 4

Clean makeup brushes at least once every week using the Suesh Professional Brush Cleaner. This will clean and disinfect the brush to prolong its life.


Daily:
  • Tap or shake excess powders from the brush after every use. If you are using different colors, pour a small amount of solution on paper towels/tissue, wipe brushes on it until the color comes off.

Weekly:
  • Pour solution into a small container and dilute with some water (1:1 ratio). Just enough to cover the bristles of your brush.
  • Dip the bristles of your brush into the solution and allow to soak for a few minutes until particles come off. Slightly stir the brush in the solution before removing.
  • Then rinse the bristles of the brush under running water while running your fingers over the bristles gently. TAKE CARE not to wet further than the ferrule (metal part that holds the bristles together) because the wooden handle should not get wet.
  • Wipe with paper towel and leave to dry FLAT on a clean towel.

Cleaning regularly inhibits bacteria growth and prevents bristle corrosion
