MAKE-UP "DO-IT-YOURSELF"

Make-up can be natural or dramatic, light or heavy, can enhance your natural features or act as a mask or a disguise. So, before you begin, you must decide which effect you want to get. However extreme you want the finished look to be, the trick is to use a light hand. Always start gently and build up the colour, shade and shape. It's much easier to add than take away and less timeconsuming, at least until you've become adept at handling the pencils, palettes, powders, creams and brushes that are a part of the modern cosmetic kit.

5. Then apply transparent mascara lashes and then a black or brown mascara.
6. Outline the lip with a lip pencil and fill the inside with lipstick to match your outfit and colour of your skin.
