TIPS FOR LIPS
CUPID LIPS
To achieve a bold defined look for cupid lips, start by out lining your lips just inside your natural lip line. Shade your outer edges of the lips with a slightly darker lip liner to add strength & definition. Take the color in towards the center of the lips & apply a matt lipstick apply it over the lip liner & concentrate the color in the center of the lips.
LONG LASTING LIPS
To achieve a long lasting non smudgy finish, apply a soft pale skin tone powder (bronzing) over the lips. Lightly pad the powder on with a bush or sponge/puff. Reapply your lip shade on top of the powder lips repeat a couple of times. This has a similar effect with blotting lips with a tissue but avoid removing any lipstick.
FULLER LIPS
Different effects can be achieved by the way of application of lip liner & different textured lipsticks. To achieve fuller lips start by out lining the lips on the extreme edges with a liner of your skin tone or one shade lighter. Then apply a sheer lipstick one or two shades lighter then the lips to the middle of the lips (away from liner). This helps reflect light in the middle of the lips & brings them forward. Apply desired lipstick color & blend it evenly over the liner. Use lip brush for smooth close effect. Finally apply gloss in the middle of the lips to reflect light & lips appear fuller.

EYE LINER
DEFINING EYEBROW LINE
To determine the correct length of the eyebrows, pin point where they should start & finish. Hold a pencil or makeup brush, vertically along side the nose justifying the eyebrow bone. This is where the eyebrow should start. Bring the pencil diagonally from the base of the nose to the outer corner of the eye. This is where the eyebrow should end. Use these guidelines to tweeze an eyebrow.
EYE LINER APPLICATION
Use eyeliner to define & give bolder look to the eyes. Use an angled eye liner brush; draw the line very carefully along the lash line on the upper eye lid. Start at the middle of the lid & thinly draw the line in towards the inner corner of the eye. Then starting from the middle of the eye lid draw a thicker line working to the outer corner of the eye lid, end this line by flicking up in the direction of the eyebrow. It is important that the line of the inner ½ of the eye is thin so it is soft while the outer half should be thicker to make the eyes bigger & more almonds shaped. If the inner line is too thick it can make the eyes smaller & close set.
