Make-up application question?

Right well, i have a few questions, just in general, how you apply it and stuff, cause i think i do it differently to others.





Lip Liner:


I put on vaseline (just a bit) to make it less chapped, and then go around the outside [of the lip] and colour it in, then i put on a lip gloss [or lipstick] which is the same colour or clear.





Bronzer:


I put it on using the E3 motion but also put it along my nose, forehead and chin. Basically like a face powder.





Highlighter:


I dont have it, but can i just use it like a blusher? On the apples of my cheeks + cheekbones?





Eye shadow:


I cant put it on my crease, as im asian and dont have the socket eyes look, and have a tiny space between my lash line and crease, should i just not bother putting anything there?


I also put on a skin color eyeshadow base with or without other colours from my lash line to brow bone, is this ok?





Sorry, just wanted to know Have i got the right way of putting it on?Make-up application question?
Hi there hun,





I'm Asian also! I'm a Makeup Artist and I used to work with MAC. Right now, I'm just an Independent Makeup Artist.





For lips, nothing to worry about. You've got it done correctly!





For bronzer, that's a famous technique, that's actually how I apply my bronzers on my clients sometimes. So good job with that!





Now for highlighting, it depends on what kind of color it is that you can use it as a blusher or not. If it's a bit dark enough you absolutely can use it as a blush. If it's just for plain old highlighting, apply this above your apples of your cheeks, a bit on the bridge of your nose, middle of forehead, and even under your brows for highlighting your eyebrows. :o)





For eyeshadow, you can actually ';fake a crease'; ;o)


Here's how:


Just take whatever dark eyeshadow you're using for your look and gently sweep from outer corner in about halfway, where you said you have ';the tiny space between your lash line and crease'; Make sure you blend it well, for an even gradual finish. So blend, blend, blend!





Don't be sorry! I'm sure you'll get it right this time! Good luck hun!Make-up application question?
sounds good, i think highlighter can work in several different places... like cheeks, eyes, and lips.
Lip Liner:


From the sounds of it, you got it. The only suggestion I would make is instead of filling in your entire lips, only fill the center of your bottom lip and the corners of your top lip. Then apply lip gloss or lipstick of the same color scheme. It will help give your lips more shape.





Bronzer:


Good job! Just go lighter on your forehead, chin and nose as you don't want to overkill.





Highlighter:


Yes, same idea as blush. Always leave two finger spaces between your nose and cheeks. It gives a much more coordinated look.





Eyeshadow:


It's ok that you have smaller eyelids! I've worked with a lot of the ';creaseless'; eyelids and they have just as much potential as ';the socket eyes look.'; The skin color eyeshadow from lash line to brow bone is the exact right thing to do. Actually it can be any color that is lighter then the rest of your eyeshadow colors you are using that day.





Sounds like you got it down girl! Just keep doing what you do, you got this :)
