Step by step

Products Used:

  • Simple cleanser, toner & moisturiser
  • Illamasqua Satin Primer
  • Mac Face & Body foundation in
  • Mac Pro Longwear concealer in
  • Kryolan translucent powder
  • Kryolan bronzer
  • Mac Lady Danger lipstick
  • L'oreal telescopic mascara


Step One:

Start with a clean base by doing a cleanse, tone and moisturise on your model. You want a fresh face to work on!

Step Two:

Apply Illamasqua Satin Primer to the face using a flat foundation brush, this will aid in giving your base a more dewy finish.

Step Three:

Using a foundation brush of your choice apply Mac's face & body foundation evenly to the face, make sure you blend it out around the jaw line and down the neck.

Step Four:

Take Mac's Pro Longwear concealer and apply under the eyes, blend with a small brush. This will brighten the under eye area and disguise dark circles.

Step Five:

Apply powder on top to set but avoid powdering the face to keep this skin glowing.

Step Six:

Take a mixture of Kryolan Bronzer and a black eyeshadow to create a contour on dark skin. Just dip your brush into a couple of shades until you get the colour you are happy with. Apply lightly, it's easier to add than to take away if you make a mistake!

Step Seven:

Coat the lashes in mascara on the top and bottom lashes to give the eyes some definition.

Step Eight:

Using a lip brush apply Mac's Lady Danger generously to the lips making sure your line is as precise as possible.

You will need:

  • Hair Brushes/combs
  • Serum/wax & mousse
  • Hair dryer
  • Straighteners
Sleek Hair

Step One:

Wet the hair and apply a serum to soften the hair.

Step Two:

Section the hair and blow dry the sections as straight as you can. Make sure you aim the hairdryer towards yourself to keep the hair smooth.

Step Three:

If necessary you can use a hair straightener to flatten out any stubborn pieces of hair.




Sleek Ponytail

Step One:

Use a small amount of serum or mousse to help smooth back the hair.

Step Two:

Brush the hair up into a pony tail making sure you brush all around the front and underneath to get rid of any bumps.

Step Three:

The best way to secure this into place is by using a bungee tie, this means you wont have to losen your grip on the ponytail so you can keep the hair flat.

Step Four:

Using your hair product of choice lightly comb down and lose flyaway hairs.



Slicked Back Style

Step One:

Take pieces of hair from either side of the models head and brush them back tightly to the back of the head and secure with kirby grips.

Step Two:

With the hair at the front and top of the head you want to brush it back to cover the section you just clipped, secure with hairspray.
