How to make a clean canvas
Friday, October 24th, 2008
Step 1- Essential Oil Spray
Always clean your face before any makeup application. Use Essential Oils Spray to moisturize and stimulate the skin. The Essential Oils will stimulate circulation which will bring blood to the surface giving you that natural healthy glow. This process is hygienic because you never have to touch the face, and it’s gentle because there is no rubbing. Essential Oil is good for all skin types but especially appreciated by sensitive skin. Simply hold bottle 6-12 inches from face and spray.
Step 2- Color Correction using “Concealer Palette“
Before applying your natural skin tone concealer you must color correct any blemishes if present. If the blemish is red use a concealer with a more yellow tint and if the blemish is purple or blue, most often found under the eye, use a concealer with an orange-peach tone in order to correct. A common mistake in makeup application is using a lighter color concealer under the eye, however this will only highlight the under eye circle and make it more pronounced.
Once the color corrections are made, you will use the concealer in your natural skin tone to go over these blemished areas and blend them into your natural skin shade. In order to find the best concealer for you, try different colors until you find the one where you cannot the see the difference between the applied shade and your natural skin. Apply the concealer by patting it on problem areas using a synthetic concealer brush. Be sure to always use a clean brush when applying a new shade of concealer.
If you prefer fuller coverage, you can use a thin layer of the concealer all over the face (much like you would use a foundation) for a more dramatic evening look that still looks natural. Follow steps 2 & 3 below to complete this look!
The best brush to use for applying Translucent powder is a natural hair, very soft, fluffy powder brush, not as big as a bronzer or blush brush. It should also be super soft since you’ll be applying to sensitive areas, such as under eye. When applying under eye start at the inner corner and go out.
