This perfect lip makeup tutorial was carried out be Teigan Clark, below are the steps Teigan carried out in the making of this video tutorial.

Step 1
Begin by priming the lips ensuring there’s no dry areas for product to stick to, here I’ve used an illuminating primer.

Step 2
Line the lips with a lip liner, I go corner to the Cupid bow on both sides to make sure symmetry is even.

Step 3
Once lined fill the edges of the lips with the liner this will make product last long.

Step 4
Fill the lips with lipstick I use a brush for accuracy.

Step 5
Clean around the edges with a small brush and concealer to match the foundation.

Step 6
Blot off any excess product using a tissue.

Step 7
Again using a thin piece of tissue, here I split it in half apply a thin layer of translucent powder, this will help the lipstick set and stay all night.

Step 8
Lastly highlight the Cupid’s bow.

Soft Brow Makeup Tutorial

This is a makeup tutorial by Sofia Boggiano.

Step 1: Spray your spoolie brush with IPA to dampen the bristles. I did maybe four or five sprays. I liked a thicker residue, so I used very little moisture to make my brow soap. It takes a little bit of trial and error to figure out just how damp the brush needs to be, but start with a little and add more if you need.

Step 2: Rub the bristles of your brush against the bar of soap to create the gel-like residue. If you don’t want your brows to look waxy, start with a little bit of product and build it up if you need.

Step 3: Comb the soapy spoolie through the hairs and shape your brows how you want them to set. It doesn’t dry that quickly, so you have time to work with it until you find an arch you like. Use your finger if needed to press hairs down.

Step 4: Use your brow pencil or whatever brow styling products you prefer to fill in sparse areas. Remember, it’s soap, so do this after you set your soap brows or you risk washing it all off. Tip: Be careful applying your foundation close to your brows before combing them. eye makeup and products mixed with soap is no good and will flake, cake, or separate.

Christmas Masquerade Makeup Tutorial

Christmas Masquerade Step by Step and Products Used.

1. Cleanse, tone and moisturise the skin. For this I used Kaeso Beauty products.
2. Apply primer to the skin with a synthetic brush. I used Smashbox Photo Finish Primer.
3. With a white eyeliner pencil, draw the shape of the mask as a guideline. This can be changed and perfected as you go along.
4. To make the mask look more realistic, apply eye make-up to the area inside the eye holes of the mask so that it looks like the mask is being worn on top of a made up face. I applied Urban Decay’s potion eye primer in Eden then used shadow’s from Urban Decay’s Naked Palette, then finished off with Illamasqua’s Precision Gel Liner in Bback and powdered down with a Mac matte black. I then applied Maybelline’s Colossal Lash Mascara with a disposable wand.
5. Using a large sized flat brush and clown white face paint (I chose Snazaroo), paint the shape of the mask onto the face. This will create a stronger base for your glitter to sit on top of.
6. Using a smaller brush, paint over the top half of the mask with a different colour (I chose Snazaroo’s Metalic Gold) and fade the colour out as you get towards the central line of the mask.
7. With a synthetic brush, apply cosmetic grade glitter to the mask. I used Stargazers glitter shakers in Gold, Hologram and Silver from top to bottom. This will create more of a Christmas feel to the overall look.
8. With a medium sized, flat synthetic brush, apply foundation to the skin around the mask. I used a Real Techniques bush with Illamasqua Skin Base Foundation in shade 4.5, then used shade 15 to create a contoured effect. I then buffed the foundation with Real Techniques Buffing Brush and applied Estee Lauder’s Lucidity Pressed Powder in Light/Medium with a large natural fiber brush.
9. Following the foundation application, apply blusher slightly below the apples of the cheeks with a medium sized, soft natural fiber brush. I used Mac’s Blusher in Blush Baby.
10. With a small angled brush, outline the mask with black eyeshadow then use a pale brown colour on a soft fluffy blending brush to blend the black out. This will create the illusion of a shadow around the mask and make it look like it is lifted slightly off the face.
11. In small sections, apply a cosmetic grade adhesive to the outline of the mask with a fine cheap brush and place small diamantes or gems to add detail. Your brush will probably be ruined and in need of throwing away after use due to the build-up of adhesive. I applied black gems with Snappy G prosthetic adhesive, which I patch tested on my model’s skin previous to creating this look.
12. Apply some false lashes to the eyes. I used some cheap lashes that were bought from eBay with a latex based adhesive that had also been patch tested on my model previous to the demo. Using tweezers helps to position the eyelashes in the correct place.
13. Finally to finish off the look, apply a lipstick with a suitable synthetic brush. I used Revlon’s Super Lustrous Lipstick in Black Cherry 477. I then set the whole look with Urban Decay’s ‘All Nighter’ setting spray.
