It's ok to wear red lips with red clothing

Some shades are for layering and are meant to change your other lip colors: Sheer Blush, Mocha Freeze, Golden and Pink Shimmer
Wear layering shades over lipstick for more change
Wear layering shades under lipstick for less change

Bronzers:

Sandstone and Bronze Diva are Matte and add warmth and even out the skin tone
Matte look more natural on ivory/beige skin
Good for contouring
Shimmer is great for bronze/ebony skin and adds natural highlights
Desert Sun and Canyon Gold are shimmers
Can be used on eye lids for a natural summer glow on any skin tone
Can use the light or the dark depending on the season and your skin tone

When used on Ivory/beige skin tones, bronzers provide a sun-kissed effect. Apply where the sun would naturally hit your face: top of forehead, cheeks nose, shoulders and decollete.

Highlight powders

Pink Porcelain is matte and strictly for ivory/beige skin

Pink Stardust is shimmer and is ok for ivory to bronze skin

Shimmer attracts attention to flaws and large pores

Pink Stardust can be used on brow bone as a highlighter

Powder will not reflect light like our highlighting pen

Apply either shade to the area of the face you want to highlight: tops of cheekbones, down center of the nose, above the center of the upper lip (gives lips a pouty look).

Use Pink Porcelain only on areas you want to brighten. It can also be used in the same way as the facial highlighting pen. Apply:

under eyes to brighten
at sides of nose
below the lower lip at the crease of the chin to make lips pout
On the chin if you have a heart-shaped face to help make the chin look wider and balance the face

Highlighting pens

Bring forward recessed areas of the face
Ours is the best highlighting pen and the only one with the newest light reflecting properties
Paint only on the recessed area and blend with your finger

It is only for setting foundation and touch up during day
Always blot before you powder

Choosing Eye Makeup Colors

#1 Eye Color

You want to choose a color that contrasts your eye color

Grey eyes are really pale in color and need depth around them to make them glow

Hazel eyes are a combination of colors so you should pick the color you want to bring out

Amber eyes should be considered green when choosing colors

#2 Skin Tone

Depending on the depth of skin tone you will choose colors at a different depth level as well. (Paler for pale skin, more intense for darker skin)

#3 What you are wearing

Put on your makeup as though you are wearing white and then layer a color that complements the color you are wearing over it.

Eyeliners

Ours are waterproof and can be dunked in water and not come off
If it won't go on your eyelid smoothly, it needs warmed up between your fingers
You can sharpen them on paper or on the back of your hand
To prevent color travelling, powder foundation and powder concealer under eye or powder over the liner to keep it in place
If you line along your bottom lashes you must line along your top
Eyeliners are only for the eye
Liquid is the most dramatic, and should only be used on the top
Define the bottom lashes if you have under eye puffiness

Brows

We have the best eyebrow pencil in the industry
Classic blonde is lighter and blonde is darker and taupier
Brunette is the perfect shade for brunettes, it is directly between blonde and chestnut
Soft Black is more of a dark brown
Auburn is good for natural or chosen redheads
The sharper the pencil the better the application
Powder on top will keep them on longer
Silver grey should use classic blonde or blonde
Bronze/Ebony should use brunette
It is better to go lighter than darker with your eyebrows
Match your hair color if it is a different shade from your eyebrows

Blush

Designed to add color to your face and brighten
Plum Dazzle and Brick are only for bronze/ebony women
The color you flush to is the darkest you should go
Sunny Spice is the only blush color staying when the colors change

Mascara

The football shape is the most versatile brush shape (in our ultimate mascara) it lengthens and thickens the lashes
Ultimate mascara makes them thicker, fatter and longer
Lash Lengthening conditions with vitamins, but it is not as building
Waterproof is triathalon tested
You can layer waterproof over the others to make them more waterproof
You should change your mascara every three months. Ultimate should be changed every 2 months because building mascaras dry out faster
If your customer does not use it all the time, consider giving them disposable wands to use so that they do not put bacteria into their container and have to throw it out as soon.
Smart Wipe leaves more on the brush. If you want to layer you should wipe some off of the wand
If you have sparse lashes, don't use mascara on them, smudge liner there instead.

Lip Pencils

Dark Chocolate and Cappuccino are for bronze and ebony skin only

Lipstick

We have one of the longest wearing lipsticks on the market
Dark Brown, Rick Cocoa, Rich Fig are all for bronze/ebony skin

Choosing Lipstick Shades

#1 Lip Size and Shape

Dark shades are thinning

Light shades make your lips look fuller

#2 Depth of Skin Tone

Brighter, warmer shades will make you look younger

Darker colors are more aging

Choose a lighter color for fairer skin and deeper for darker skin

#3 What you are wearing

It's ok to wear red lips with red clothing

Some shades are for layering and are meant to change your other lip colors: Sheer Blush, Mocha Freeze, Golden and Pink Shimmer
Wear layering shades over lipstick for more change
Wear layering shades under lipstick for less change
There are 3 types of lip color: Crme, Shimmer and Frost

New Eyeshadows

Shy Blush Eyeshadow has just a hint of color
Golden Copper is for darker skin
Shades that are staying are: Crystalline, moonstone, spun silk, hazelnut, cinnabar, vintage gold and espresso (which is the darker shade of double espresso)
Honey Spice is a shimmer
Sweet Cream is a matte
Sienna can be used as a midtone for darker skin or an accent for fairer skin
Granite is a pink/grey

Eyeshadow

Highlight only on the lid and brow
Midtone up and all the way across the inside of the crease
Accent is the fun color and should be used 1/3 to of the way across and along the lower lash line and into the crease

Eyelashes

Curl, Curl, Curl
Hold wand vertically for length
Hold wand horizontally and move side to side and up for volume

False Eyelashes

Curl your natural lashes
Line your lid
Look down in the mirror
Cut off two tufts of the lashes
Use surgical adhesive along the line you made
Place lashes with tweezers onto the adhesive
Follow with mascara

Blush

Start at the place where the top of your ear meets your head
Pull down to the middle of your apple
Pull back up to your ear
Then blend by moving your brush up and down

Lips

Use foundation to erase the lip line before lip colors to make them look bigger
If you want to keep gloss from bleeding, put lip primer AROUND the lip line and not inside it.
If you want to keep your lipstick on longer, apply primer on and around the lips
People who have a lot of lip lines can stain their lips by applying color to their finger and patting it onto their lips.

BRIDES

Morning Bride

Lighting is softer with a blue tint
Everything will photograph darker
Use warmer shades
Define the lashline really well

Midday Bride

Harshest Light
No sheen - keep her matte
Highlight should have shimmer
One of your three shades should be matte
Keep liner as close to lashline as possible
Blend A LOT

Late Afternoon

Best lighting
Creates a golden glow
Can do stronger color choices
Look into the light for photographs
Add color to the skin (bronzer or blush is a must)
No frost because of the flash (it will reflect)
Dramatic eyeliner
Rich lips

Evening Bride

More defined because of flash
Put more color in cheeks
Highlighting and contouring are essential
False eyelashes are good
Smokey eye is ok (nude lip works well with it)

(Favorite picture shown, evening bride was wearing white sand, spun silk, vanilla eyesicles, hazelnut, and double espresso dark)
