Base practices

We learnt a basic 'clean up' make up for when a no-make-up make-up look is needed, we cleansed, toned and moisturized the face then we put concealer on only the necessary areas, blended it out, brushed the brows, applied a small about of natural lip colour and then lightly powdered the face whilst still leaving it mainly dewy.

In our next lesson and of bases we practiced light contouring, highlighting and bases. We used a foundation colour to match the models skin tone then added contouring and highlighting by using a foundation a few shades darker and lighter than their skin tone. I struggled a bit more this time because the foundation I was using wasn't sitting on the models skin that well.

All of our base practices have been interesting though because they have taught me how much or little make up you can use and to what effect, how different foundations sit on different skins and how to highlight and contour subtly.
