Why Makeup artist aften use powder puffs when applying makeup?

Why use powder puffs?so that you can slide this on your pinky when working on clients. That way, if you need to rest your hand on your client during makeup application, the oils from your fingers won't disturb the makeup

Bold Makeup Lips&Eyes

If you're going out & you want to look you best for an evening dinner or special event.And you in the mood for a smokey eye or a bold lip  remember to: Either play up your eyes or your Lips, never both. If you accentuate both features, you risk looking dated.

If you choose to play up your eyes, you can be as dramatic as you want with eyeliner, shadow & mascara. But stick to gloss or a light lipstick shade for your lips. You want your eyes to 'pop.' But you don't want them competing with your lips.

If it's your lips you want to accentuate, paint on a strong shade & line just your upper lashes with a couple strokes of mascara to finish your eyes. If your eyelids have bluish lines, you can mask that with face powder or concealer, but stay away from colored shadows -- the lighter, the better.

Foudation or concealer first?

What Should i apply first? Concealer or Foundation


Answer:You must apply foundation first, THEN concealer.
If you put foundation AFTER the concealer, you will blend the concealer in and it won't be as effective as a cover up.
You must concealer after, this is because after you have applied the foundation, you can see the necessary areas that need the concealer.Then top off with a dusting of powder to set everything.
