MUA Tips & Advice

There is a fabulous makeup artist that I always love to work with, she has done my makeup for a few of my modeling shoots as well as I’m fortunate to have her as a friend.

“I love to experiment with my client’s using my fine artist perspective. My training as a fine artist painter is recognizable in my brushstrokes, undeniable in my ability to blend and contour the human face. I am formally trained and incredibly creative Makeup Artist with experience in interpreting the make-up requirements of my clients to produce both creative and technically accurate visual representations; ensuring that models, performers, presenters or others have suitable make-up before they appear in front of HD cameras, movie cameras, portrait cameras, an audience, or any live event. “

So I decided to team up with Christine and brainstorm, well actually, Who am I kidding? I’m just picking that awesome brain of hers for some great makeup tricks as well as tips. So that every day I walk out the door looking my best and now you can too!

• The Purrrfect Cat Eye
   
• Tools:
•  An Eyeliner Brush
• Brown Eye Shadow
• your favorite Eye Gel or Liquid Liner
• Lash Curler
• Black Mascara

1. -Your first step is always going to be to prime your lid. Use your ring finger to stipple the concealer/foundation/eye primer of your choice on to your upper and lower lid, crease, and brow bone. After you are finished, apply a nude/bone color eye shadow (I’m using Brulé by MAC) from your lash line to your brow bone.
2. -Take your liner brush and brown eye shadow; draw a line from the inside to the outside corner of your eye. From the outside corner of your eye, “wing” the line at angle toward the end of your eyebrow. This is just a little trick to ensure that your line is perfect! Note: It doesn’t matter how long the line is… it just depends on your personal preference.
3. – Curl lashes
4. – Take your liquid liner and trace the line that you have just created. You can make the line thicker than you originally planned, 75% of the time- I do!
5. -Take the brown shadow (I’m using Center Stage by MAC, you can use black for a more dramatic look), trace under your lash line to the inner corner of your eye. Make sure that you connect the line to the beginning of the wing! If you desire more of a smokey look, take the shadow and trace along the waterline of your lower lid.
6. -Apply Mascara to your top and bottom lashes
7. -There you have it! If this is your first time, do not get discouraged! Practice makes purrrfect 😉
