How Apply a cream or powder
highlighter along the apple of the cheek
and along the brow bone under the
eyebrow. Ensure the highlighter is a
shimmer not a glitter finish. are many brow products on the market
these days from pencils, to waxes, gels
and mascaras – talk to a professional to
determine what suits your skill set and
brow needs.
4 Why 7 Why
Contour Powder
Defines the cheeks creating the
illusion of higher cheek bones. Can also
be used under the chin to diminish a
fuller chin/neck.
Myth It looks too unnatural.
How A correctly applied contour powder
should not look like you have any
contour on. Choose a shade that is similar
to your skin tone only slightly darker.
Avoid contour powders with shimmer
as these can add fullness to the face and
counter act the idea of contouring.
5 Why
Finishing Powder
To set makeup or to wear as a
light coverage over a moisturiser.
Myth Will cake and gather in fine lines
and wrinkles. Making the complexion
appear older looking.
How Ensure you have a finishing powder
that suits your skin tone and is fine in
texture. With a large brush apply a light
dusting of finishing powder down the
nose, over the cheeks and across chin and
forehead.
Brow Pencil or Brow Cream
Why Define the eyebrows which
frame the face.
Myth Will appear “drawn on” and not
natural when the brow hair is minimal
or grey.
How Using light feathery strokes apply a
brow product of your choice to fill in or
emphasise the natural brow line. There

Eyeshadow contouring
Creates definition to the eye socket
– giving the illusion of an uplifted eye.
Myth Too old to wear eye shadow as it
will accentuate saggy eye lids.
How Apply to the middle section of the
eye just above the eye bone to create
definition and shape without gathering in
any creases.
8 Why
Eyeliner
Creates eye definition and
variety to make up look. Can also make
lashes appear fuller.
Myth Too old to wear eyeliner as it is too
harsh.
How Using an eye liner of your
choice apply light feathery strokes along
the lash line and then blend with a fine
eyeshadow brush.

Why
Myth
Mascara
Opens up the eyes.
Will make lashes clump together
and smudge.
How Firstly, always ensure your
mascara is not old, dried up or out of date.
Secondly, NEVER “pump” your mascara
wand in and out of the tube - this creates
air bubbles and can form it to ‘clump’
once applied. When applying mascara
start with your top lashes - in a sweeping
motion apply mascara UP the top lash,
back DOWN the top lash (this elongates
the lashes), finishing with a final
application UP the top lash (this will open
up the eye). Finish by applying mascara
in a sweeping motion horizontally along
the bottom lashes – this will ensure you
do not get any mascara under the eye.
10 Why
Lip Gloss
Will add a subtle vibrancy
to the entire face. Is often softer than
wearing a light lipstick colour as it will
not gather in any fine lines.
Myth Too old to wear shine.
How In a shade that is correct for your
colour palette apply a sweep of gloss along
the top and bottom lip. Dab your lips
together and finish by applying another
sweep of gloss to achieve an extra glossy
finish. Recently many companies have
bought out lip gloss in a lip stick
consistency – these are great as they are
not ‘tacky’ like most lip gloss wands.
