Mirror Mirror on the wall…
Who is the prettiest lady of them all
I am not sure if working ladies like me & you had time for make up so early in the morning but here is the procedure for a typical day make – up:
1) Place the client in the sitting position
2) Tie up the client’s hair using hair band wrap with dry tissues to keep the hair away from the face
3) Wear a small power puff on the last finger of working hand and use a tissues paper for hygiene purpose when contacting between working hand and client’s face for every steps
4) Cleanse, tone and moisturize her face using appropriate product for her skin type
5) Apply base make up. Different color base make up serve different purpose
6) Green base make up is good to cover pimple face, purple is to make the face look fresher, orange is to be use on dark eye bag & nude color is apply on good skin
7) Base make up is worn under foundation to extend the staying power of the foundation or to blot excess oil for those with oily skin
8) Apply the liquid foundation evenly on her skin and neck using a clean make up sponge
9) Two different tone of liquid foundation are being use to match the client skin tone
10) Apply the concealer on the dark eye circles and freckles using a concealer brush and blend it evenly with a clean make up sponge
11) Gently dab the translucent loose powder using a clean powder puff over her face and neck evenly.
12) Apply loose powder below her eyes to prevent eye shadow colors staining on her face
13) Apply skin color eye shadow on her eyes to and blend up to the brow bone as her base eye shadow colors using a clean eye shadow base brush
14) Apply a desirable eye shadow on her inner eyelid and blend evenly to the centre of the eye lid suing the eye shadow brush
15) Sweep away the excess loose powder that is applied below the eye using powder brush
16) Use a black eyeliner pencil to draw above the upper eyelashes and below the lower eyelashes
17) Use an eyelash curler applicator to curl her eyelashes.
18) Sweep the black mascara over her eyelashes using zig zag motion
19) Use an eyelash curler to curl her eyelashes again
20) Use an eyebrow tweezers to remove excess hair on her eyebrow.
21) Use a soft brown eyebrow pencil and eyebrow brush to shape and enhance on the eyebrow
22) Apply a pink powder blusher on her smiling cheekbones using a blusher brush
23) Apply lip balm on her lip using a lip brush
24) Draw a lip shape on her outer lip using a lip liner to balance her lip shape
25) Apply pink lipstick on her lip and blend evenly within the lip shape using a lip brush
26) Apply a similar color lip gloss within her lip shape using a lip brush
27) Apply white powder using a clean contouring brush to highlight her eyes, noses and chin. It help to brighten up her face
28) Apply dark colors powder using a clean contouring blush to shade on her side of her face and nose to contour her face and her nose

PURPLE
Do you have a prefect face shape and what your color? Interestingly it was covered together in my class last night.
There are mainly 6 different types of face shapes:
- Square
- Round
- Oval
- Heart
- Pear
- Super long shape
Hopefully the diagram will help you match the face with the shape :))
Like everyone I am not born with a prefect face shape OVAL therefore that where contour cosmetics play its virtual role:
- Highlighting (Using white shades)
- Shading (Using brown shades)
- Blushing
For Round face, shading should be applied below the jaw line & blusher should be applied in downward motion.
For square face, shading should be applied below the jaw line & blusher should be applied in triangle motion
For heart face, shading should be applied on the wide forehead, highlighting the chin area & blusher should be applied toward the ear.
For pear face, shading should be applied from the eye toward the jaw line, highlighting the forehead and blusher should be applied in circular up & down motion.
For super long face, shading should be done on the chin & forehead area, highlighting the side of one face with blusher applied in circular motion.
Lastly highlighting the T zone & shading the side of the nose will also help to prefect a wide face.
Is it just me or I came to relised that the youngster are putting on more & more make up therefore is there a different between day & night makeup?
Ideally YES,
Day makeup is usually using light colors blusher and lipstick. Blending one color eye shadow with thin eyeliner drawn closer to the eye lash.
Night makeup is much more challenging, using darker tone colors for blusher and lipstick, blending 2 to 3 colors with thicker and longer eyeliner. Black, Dark brown, Grey & Coffee are common colors used to shaded eyebrow.
There is 3 different type to applying eye shadow
- Gradual Technique: Using just one color, darker to a lighter tone from the inner to the outer eyelid
- Two Technique: Using 2 colors, blending is essential
- Collection Technique: Using 3 or more color to bring out the double eyelid.
Therefore understanding your colors is crucial in blending:
Back to school we are taught that red, yellow & blue are all our primary colors, Black & white are our natural color
Yellow & Red will give us orange
Yellow & Blue will give us green
Red & Blue will give us purple
Behind every color there is a story…….
Red: Confident & smart
Yellow: Cheerfulness
Blue: Seriousness
Green: Youthful
Purple: Intelligence & Happy
Orange: Mature
White: Purity
Black: Secretive & seductiveness
With that I am leaving you with the question of the day. What’s your color?

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder
I passed! I passed!
Not bad for a person who know nuts about manicure & pedicure just a few months ago. Toady I move into my next module MAKEUP. My 1st lesson was pretty dry with all the theories but it will get interesting as we move along. I promise!
Makeup is used to enhance our facial feature which in turn make us feel more confident. Everyone is unique therefore each individual should be approach base on their face shape, eyebrow shape, like, dislike, age, favorite colors and occasion. It is not ideal to apply makeup right after a facial.
Below are other contra- indication preventing makeup application
1) Skin disorder
2) Eczema
3) Bruising
4) Recent hemorrhage
5) Swelling and inflammation
6) Recent scar tissue
7) Cuts & abrasions
8) Recent operation
9) Eye disorder
In my examination, I will also be orally tested in
a) Preparation before makeup
b) Hygiene
c) Blending & matching of colors
& by the end of this module I am certified to provide Bridal make up, Evening make up, Day make up & Special Effect make up. COOL RITE : ))
Since the trainer do not want to scare us on our 1st class,
she started off with the simple Day Make up which included:
1) Make up base
2) Foundation
3) Loose powder
4) Eye color
5) Eye liner
6) Fake Eyelashes
7) Mascara
8) Eye brown
9) Blusher
10) Lip pencil
11) Lip color
12) Lip gloss- Step by step application
In makeup application foundation & eyebrow shaping is very important.
There is a total of 4 different type of eyebrow shaping
1) Arched: For a formal look
2) Rounded: For a sweet & soft look
3) Special Effect: For performance purpose
4) Straight: For super long shaped face
Our features is the best guide on where our eyebrow should start, arched & end.
1) Eyebrow should start in line with the corner of your nose. Measured by placing a pencil by the side of the nose plucking excess hair beyond the line.
2) The arched should be shaped by using the guide by the side of one's eye ball.
3) Eyebrow should end by placing the pencil on the corner of the nose touching the side of the eye.
Finally my Monday is over...........but do keep a look out for my next post on the 6 different types of face shape. Do not worry if you do not have the prefect face shape as contour cosmetic is the painless way to go. Its using the art of highlighting, shading & blushing for a 3 D effects.
I hope that will entice you to read my next post
