Blusher A warm tint can now be added by dusting some bronzing powder over cheeks, forehead, nose and chin. The best ways to apply blusher is to smile and then dust some blusher on the apples of the cheeks, and then blend towards the hairline and downwards to soften colour. A light dusting of frosty blush can be added on the top end of the cheekbones. Brows The most natural look for brows would be to use an eye shadow that matches a person’s hair colour which is then applied lightly to the brows with an eye brow brush. If brows are sparse, light feather strokes with an eyebrow pencil can be used. Eyes A light colour eye shadow should be applied from lashes to brows with a brush or sponge. This is followed by a medium colour on the lower lid, swept up to the crease, or a pearly white shadow to give more definition. The eyelid can be defined by using a medium or dark shade. The deeper the shade, the more dramatic the result will be. Lashes A lash curler can be used before mascara is applied to make lashes look longer. A blond person should use brown mascara for a softer look, while people with a darker skin tone can use black mascara. The choice in types of mascaras is huge, so choose one that doesn’t irritate your eyes. For a more dramatic look, the first coat should be allowed to dry completely before applying a second coat.
