Embrace The
Beauty Of Makeup
It’s not about hiding the real you, it’s about enhancing your true self!
Local Professional Makeup Artist - Katrina of Belle’s Wish, offers us some tips
and tricks to achieve makeup perfection and enhance our most beautiful features.
Whether we like it or not, our physical
appearance can have a big impact on how we
feel about ourselves, as well as how others see
us. That's why makeup can be a fantastic tool
to enhance our best features, mask the ones
we don't love, and approach life with confidence.
I've included a few tips here for creating a
beautiful, empowered, you.
Contouring and Highlighting
are a magical way to transform your face.
As a rule of thumb, put dark powder anywhere
you want to recede (like a double chin) and
highlighter anywhere you want to stand out
(such as those beautiful cheekbones). For best
results, apply dark powder under the hollow
of your cheekbones, around the bottom of
your jawline, and at the outside edges of your
forehead. Put a highlighter under the arch of
your eyebrow, on the inside corners of your eyes,
and along your cheekbones. Blend everything
into softness with a brush. This will give your
face a well-defined and slender appearance.

lip colour. If it's your eyes, add a touch of colour.
Don't be afraid to experiment - makeup is self-
expression and everyone has beautiful unique
features that should be enhanced.
Make Your Eyes Stand Out
To really make your eyes stand out, first line the
top lashline with your favourite eyeliner. Putting
this underneath the eyeshadow makes for a
softer, more smudged effect. Cover your entire
lid with a neutral colour, then with a brush draw
a sideways “V” on the outside corner of your
eye in darker powder. On the inside corner of
your eyes, use a highlighter or bright eyeshadow.
You can use the same colour beneath the arch
of your eyebrows. Using a soft brush, blend all
three colours until there is a subtle transition
from light to dark instead of defined blocks of
colour. Follow up with a mascara.
Smudge Fix
Highlight Your Best Feature Did you smudge your mascara while applying
it? Don't worry, you don't need to remove your
eyeshadow and start again. Simply wait for it to
dry, then use a dry cotton bud to gently rub it off.
Pick the feature of your face that makes you feel
your most confident. Is it your lips? Find a bold Now you're ready to face the world feeling
empowered, beautiful, and confident!
