Corrective Makeup

This type of makeup will be the first step we take when applying stage makeup before any show. For this lesson, we divided our faces in half using our lightest eyebrow pencil. On the right side of our face we drew lines (using the eyebrow pencil) to demonstrate where the highlight and shadowing would go and on the left side of our face we applied basic corrective. Follow along as I take you through my process!

I made sure to moisturize my face and pull back my hair before any makeup touched my face.

The first three steps done on the right side of my face:

Step 3:Add lines to represent shadowing!

Step 1:Divide face using your lightest eyebrow pencil!

 

Step 2:Add dots to represent highlight!

These next five steps were done on the left side of my face 

Step 1: Add green and yellow stick to your face. Green covers up any red marks and yellow covers up purple

Step 2: After I blended my yellow corrective in with a q-tip I applied my foundation over my green corrective. I luckily did not have to create a new color because the color that I had matched my skin! To apply my foundation, I used a makeup sponge and dabbed it onto my face so that it would be applied evenly. 

 

Step 3: Highlight and Shadowing! Highlight is represented by dots and shadows are represented by lines. To blend highlight you want to blend up and out and for shadows you want to blend down and out. 

                                                                                 

Step 4: Adding blush! I applied too much blush so next time I will be sure to use a lot less. Blush is to be added to the top of your cheekbone and blended toward your ear. Be sure not to go past the middle of your eye toward your nose and don't go all the way to your ear. 

 

Step 5: The final step is mascara and lips! When wearing mascara you want to choose brown instead of black. Black looks very heavy on the eyes so you want to use a lighter color. For the lips, I used LCS-5 natural lip color from our makeup kits.

P.S. I forgot to add highlight to the middle of my nose and shadowing to the top of my forehead.
