My name is Jacky, and I am an aspiring Makeup Artist. Most of you may know me from YouTube as [CosmetiqueBoutique]. I started falling in love with the art of makeup when I was 15 years old and since then I don't think I would want to pursue any other carrier in life. Doing makeup is a way of not only expressing myself, but others as well. Just that satisfaction of making someone feel beautiful is priceless. You should love yourself for you and nothing less. My philosophy in life has always been: "The most Beautiful type of beauty is the beauty to love who you are inside and out."
Before applying foundation,apply a toner all over the face with a cotton ball. This will help prevent oily skin throughout the day and also help your makeup stay fresh all day. (Toner I use is by Olay and is called Refreshining Toner)
When applying mascara, clean your wand off with a paper towel after every use. This will help keep the wand clean and when applying your mascara your lashes will be clump free.
Using Mixing Medium or Fix+ can be great for making your eyeshadow stand out,and have more pigment. But as an alternative try mixing about two drops of eye drops on to your brush or you can also use water. This technique is called foiling.
To prevent your eyeliner from smudging throughout the day, line you water line on top of the eyeliner with a matte black eyeshadow. Not only will this give it a more dramatic look but also to stay in place all day.
When curling your lashes, try heating up the eye lash curler for about 10 seconds with a hair dryer. Then let cool and curl,your lashes should be long and voluminous!
