Easy but fab make-up looks

PREP FOR LOOK 1 & 2

Apply primer to clean skin and wait 30 seconds to a minute before applying foundation.

With foundation, focus on areas where you need more coverage and blend it over areas that don’t need as much attention.

It’s also a good idea to get your brows filled before focusing on the rest of your look.

LOOK 1 EYES

1 Apply a nude eyeshadow over your entire eyelid. Next, blend black eyeshadow over the crease of your eyelid and outwards towards the corner of the eyelid. 2 On your upper lid, draw a thick line using black kohl, gel or liquid liner from the inner to the outer corner of the eye. You can end the line right at the corner of the eye or extend it out and up for a winged look. Add strip lashes, or use a few coats of mascara for the finishing touch.

CHEEKS

If you have caramel to dark skin like Precious, apply a dark blusher in plum or coppery brown using a blusher brush just below your cheekbones at an angle for a contoured effect.

LIPS

Ensure your lips are clean before you apply any product.

Moisturise lips with petroleum jelly or lip balm before applying matte lipstick. Outline lips using a lipliner that matches your lipstick colour. Apply lipstick inside the outline of the lipliner.

Make cornrows with your natural hair to keep it flat and avoid distorting your wig. To protect your hair, wear a wig cap. Lean forward, hold the back of the wig, and pull it over your head from your forehead for a snug fit.

EYES

1 Apply strip lashes. On your upper lash line, draw a thick line using black kohl, gel or liquid liner. Draw a winged line upwards from the outer corners.

Apply burnt orange or maroon eyeshadow over the entire eyelid and blend it up to the crease of the lid and towards the outer corner. Add gold eyeshadow to the inner corner of the eye. 2 Add a few coats of mascara to the upper and lower lashes to intensify the look.

LIPS

Apply lip balm then line your lips with a lipliner that matches your lipstick colour. Apply lipstick inside the outline of the lipliner.

CHEEKS

Apply a subtle pink blusher with a hint of shimmer on your cheekbones using a blusher brush then blend. Bright colours or bronzers will look over the top.

HAIR

Fasten your hair in a low bun and wear a wig cap to protect your hair. Lean forward, hold the back of the wig, and pull it over your head from your forehead for a snug fit. Style as desired.
