Here we go gang, now is the time where we begin prepping the canvas to begin our painting.
You've got your brushes and your vanity area is well lit, you've got your mirrors together.
Get your magnifying mirror, because we are about to get very frank. Take a good look at your reflection. I'm going to skip past fine lines and wrinkles, we are even going to skip blemishes and zits.... For now.
We are going to talk about facial hair. Yep, I am talking about the dark or light wiry hairs.
You have two choices here.
Live with them, as many of my friends do, quite happily and with much confidence.
OR
Remove them. If you choose to remove them, I recommend having a professional give you a hand. IF you have a friend who is brave or sadistic enough to not mind you swearing, crying as they tweeze or rip the hair from your face, you can go that route too.
DO NOT, IN NO UNCERTAIN TERMS SHAVE THESE HAIRS!!
For some reason, shaving these hairs tends to encourage these little buggers to multiply -- Like Rabbits!
Once you have made your own choice regarding the wearing or not of facial hair. The next place to looSk, is your eyebrows.
We all know that the eyes are the windows to your soul... That makes your eyebrows the Window Panes, may as well make them look nice.
This is another spot where I will recommend that you have a professional help you get the best shape for your brows. Once they are done, you can maintain them fairly easily on your own or with the help of the same sadistic friend who likes pulling the hair out of your face.
(Just remember, if your sadistic friend pulls your hair out, turn about is fair play, giving you a great option for revenge)
When all the irritation goes down, take a look at your new face.
Now, we are ready to really prep the canvas.
Here are the things that you will need to prep the canvas:
Moisturizer
Face Primer
Concealer
Foundation
Eye Primer
Lip Primer
Give your face a good washing and moisturize.
Have a seat at your vanity table and flip on those lights.. Give your clean skin a good once over visually. When your moisturizer has soaked in put on your whole face primer. (Read the directions, some face primers state quite plainly to avoid certain areas like eyes and lips -- I don't recommend that you risk this. Besides, you have eye and lip primer to use)
Time to conceal. This means using those pink, green and yellow correctors. Each once does a certain job, so make sure you are using the correct color for the job.
Use the concealer brush to apply the concealers and hide all the sins of the skin.
Now you can begin with the foundation. Using the foundation brush, paint on your foundation. The brush will help you get all the areas of your face smooth and covered. It's very okay for you to pull your foundation down under your chin and down the neck.
Follow with your eye and lip primers.
Now, the canvas is ready to receive color.
The primers under your foundation, eye and lip colors will help your make up sit on your face rather than filling in all the fine lines, wrinkles or sinking into your skin. You will look so much more flawless and smooth in the face.
