Beauty How’s: Applying MakeUp Like A Pro.
1. To Apply Blush
Use the Diva
Suck in your cheeks and apply colour to your cheekbones, working from the temples in.

“Just follow the lines of your bones—it’s foolproof,” says Laura Geller, the president of Laura Geller Makeup, in New York City.
After applying, look straight into the mirror to make sure that you’ve put the same amount of colour on each side.
2. To Apply Powder
Use the Puffer Fish
“Fill your cheeks with as much air as you can,” says Potter. This will smooth out your wrinkles so the make-up doesn’t accumulate in them and exaggerate lines. When you relax your face, blend any excess product with a powder brush or puff.
- To Apply Eye Shadow
Use the Snob
Look forward into the mirror and tilt your
head back a bit so you can see your entire lid. This helps you apply
colour from the very base of the lashes to just above the crease. If
your lids are crepey, raise your brow to stretch the skin so that the
colour doesn’t “skip” as you put it on.
3. To Apply False Lashes
Use the Pat
Close your eye slightly and gently pull down your lid with a finger. “This will give you easy access to the lash line,” says Napoleon Perdis, a makeup artist in New York City and Los Angeles. Place the lash strip on the centre of the lash line, then secure each end.
4. To Apply Mascara
Use the Tilt
Tilt your head back to make the roots of your lashes completely visible. Begin applying the mascara at the inner corner of your eye. Once you’ve reached the center of your lash line, point the tip of the wand upward to separate each lash fully as you coat it. Lower the wand tip again as you work your way to the outer edge.

- To Apply Eyeliner
Use the Peekaboo
Raise your eyebrows and close one eye to flatten your “canvas.” With feathery strokes, apply from the outer corner in. “Steady your hand by resting your drawing elbow on a table,” says makeup artist Trish McEvoy. Then line under the bottom lashes if you want.

5. To Apply Lipstick
Use the Kiss
Either relax your lips altogether or pucker slightly as you apply colour. “Just don’t give a big grin,” says Perdis. “If you do, you’ll flatten your mouth’s natural contours, so the end result won’t be precise.” When you’re blending with a lip brush, say “oh” and take the brush all the way into the corners of your mouth.
- To Apply Lip Gloss
To create the most intense look, use your finger to dab your favourite shade of gloss on just the centre of your lips rather than across your whole mouth (which diffuses the colour). Then press your lips together gently to distribute the gloss.
