*Candy~Merah Makeup Artistry* {Natural Makeup Tutorial}

*Candy~Merah Makeup Artistry* shows you how to achieve a natural look in 12 short and easy simple steps! Here's how:

step 1:

Prepare the face by cleansing it and moisturizing it by primer of lotion of choice.

                                                      step 2:

Begin to apply a foundation best matching the skin tone and undertone of client. If the person has more than one undertone, ensure that you mix the two relevant foundation coloures to achieve a tone that best matches the exact skin tone of the client.

                                                                             

                                                     step 3:

Prepare the eyebrows by brushing them in upward motions to straighten them up.

step 4:

Apply eyebrow pencil (preferably dark brown on lighter skin tones) on the eyebrows in accordance to the shape of the eyebrows, nothing less and nothing more. be sure to brush on the coloure gently, caring to only fill, and not 'draw'.

step 5:

Brush out the eyebrow work between each brow, this is to ensure that they appear natural.

step 6:

Neaten your work with a slanted brush using the clients foundation coloure, perfecting the eyebrows once and for all.

step 7:

Apply a highlight of choice. this is any eye shadow that brings out the eyes, Highlights differ per skin tone so be careful to research professional advise on which highlight eyeshadow best sutes you. In this case we use a light gold highlight as the client is light skinned. 

For example:

Be sure to use only natural eye coloures when aiming to achieve a natural look.

step 8:

Select a warmer coloure to bridge from the highlight, once having applied that, the fun begins where you may design with an even darker coloure, the lower eye. In this look we work around the bridge coloure, applying it to the sides in circular motions to achieve a shading effect.

step 9:

Apply Natural lip coloure and blush. (Our choice was natural pink lips and a golden blush)

step 10:

NEVER FORGET TO CONTOUR! On of course the relevant parts of the face.

step 11:

Apply liquid eyeliner above the eyelid to add a finishing touch.

step 12:

VWAH~LAH! Your work here is done! :-)

Nice & Natural

Natural looks can be associated with (not having any makeup on), but in the Makeup world, we associate the term 'Bare Natural' , with having some great makeup on, and getting away with looking like you have NO makeup on! :-), Natural Makeup however, is a term used when one has makeup on, however applying coloures that are subtle and very much closer to the individual's facial skin tones.

Below are some depiction by *CandY~Merah Makeup Artistry* that best show how a natural look can still pass for a fabulous look!

The history of red lipstick:

By *Candy~Merah Makeup Artistry*

When thinking 'red lipstic', what comes to your mind? Do you find it overly dramatic, or to you see it as a somewhat 'cherry on top', to complete a look with it's va-va-voom effect?

Red lipstick is an ancient born form of self beautification by the Egyptian community, namely, Princess Cleopatra, who was said to have crushed insects such as ants and beetles, creating the perfect lip coloure of her preference. In accordance to Wikipedia,  Sumerian men and women were the first to invent and wear lipstick dating back approximately 5000 years ago, all from the method of using crushed precious stones.

Going Green!

Going Green with *Candy~Merah Makeup Artistry* proves that ANY lip coloure can be explored with just the right attitude, wardrobe and theme!

We hereby play around with the 'Xhosa' (if not ethnic, cultured white dotting) right above the brows and down the chin, topping it off with, yes, GREEN lips and a cat eye. This all just to bring out the 'earthy factor' of what the theme in wardrobe was about. The cat-eye of course brought about the femininity in the look.

*Candy~Merah Makeup Artistry* Performance Art

*Candy~Merah Makeup Artistry* plays with a bit of ethnic elements of Makeup Artistry while fusing that with a trendy 'cat eye' Finnish to dramatically bring the eyes alive.

From "praying", to simply posing, to a silent expression of violence as a means of communicating the struggles of war that which we are facing today in our world; Makeup Artistry also plays a powerful role as a tool to enhance expressions of the mind onto art as a performance platform.
