BEAUTY EDITOR M T ake-up utorial PRODUCTS USED: 1. Apply an eye primer, as this will keep your eye shadow in place longer. Urban Decay Eye Primer Potion is brilliant. 2. Apply a concealer to your lids to neutralize any blue tones (darkness around the eye lid area). 3. Apply a concealer with your ring finger (this is the weakest finger and they eye area has delicate skin around it), so be kind to it. 4. Apply a setting powder onto both lids so when you apply your eye shadow it won’t grip onto your primer, leaving it patchy. Laura Mercier Trans- lucent Powder is a classic. 5. Apply your neutral eye shad- ow to the base of your lid, pressing the product from your brush into the skin. Use a small size eye shadow brush. 6. Lastly take a medium size eye shadow blending brush (this will blend and apply the product at the same time), apply the darker shade from the corner of your eye moving it upwards gently into the eye socket, following the natural shape that your skin folds into. Runway Room Cosmetics Z Palette in ‘bridesmaid’ (neutral base color) and ‘soot’ for the crease color. If you would like to see the quick tutorial head over to my Facebook page or YouTube channel and watch all the fun. And let me tell you ladies (still a YouTube newbie) it was fun watching my video back and having a good ole laugh, it’s good for the soul to not take yourself to seriously and have fun with makeup.
