Tips from a master makeup man<\/p>\n
As well as a biography and providing the recollections of his
\nfriends and family, Kevyn Aucoin: A Beautiful Life (available at
\nAksara bookstore in Kemang, South Jakarta) also provides a
\nsection of his tips. Here are a few of them.<\/p>\n
Avoiding cakey-looking makeup<\/p>\n
* Use creamy products (concealer, foundation, contouring stick,
\nhighlighting cream, cream blush, gel blush or liquid blush)
\nfirst, followed by powder and\/or powder blush.
\n* Powder sets makeup products and enhances your makeup's staying
\npower; cream on top of powder creates a cakey-looking finish.
\n* Make sure to moisturize and exfoliate (gently, with a scrub or
\nwashcloth) if you're prone to flaky skin.
\n* The problem might be your moisturizer; some formulas,
\nespecially those packed with special antiaging ingredients, don't
\nallow concealer or foundation to blend nicely into the skin. You
\nmight want to save those for nighttime and use a basic day
\nmoisturizer instead.<\/p>\n
Lips<\/p>\n
* Getting started: Don't apply products to dry lips. If they're
\nchapped, apply balm or petroleum jelly, then brush lightly with a
\ntoothbrush to get rid of any flaky skin. Use foundation or
\nconcealer to even out skin tone or discoloration.<\/p>\n
Eyes<\/p>\n
* When powdering the face, Kevyn put extra loose powder under the
\neyes. This allowed him to sweep away any excess product that fell
\nthere during eye makeup application. You also can use powder or
\ncream-to-powder foundation to tone down eyeshadow if the color is
\ntoo intense.<\/p>\n
Liner know-how<\/p>\n
* When using pencil eyeliner, get right into the lash line so
\nthere is no discernible space between the eyeliner and lashes.
\nWiggle the pencil between the lashes to fill in any gaps. To
\napply liquid liner, Kevyn pulled the eyelid taut by lightly
\nstretching it up and out. Then he drew a line as close to the
\nlashes as possible.<\/p>",
