Eyes On Spring

MAKE UP with Missy

Missy Mackintosh, is a professionally trained make-up artist. She studied at Blanche McDonald in Vancouver and Make Up For Ever Academy, Paris.

In 8 simple steps, Missy will take us through the method she used to achieve this elegant and natural look for our lovely model Diane.

STEP ONE:

Starting with an eyelid primer, apply it from the lashline all the way up to the brow line. This creates a fresh canvas base and helps to keep the eye shadow in place and avoid it from creasing.

STEP TWO:

Using a shadow a shade lighter than your natural skin tone, pat lightly over the primer. This will set the primer and help with the blending of the eye shadows in the next steps.

TIP: BETTER TO USE MATTE SHADOW ON MATURE LIDS VERSUS SHINY SHADOWS AS SHINE WILL DRAW ATTENTION TO FINE LINES.

STEP THREE:

For the contour area and to give your eye depth, apply a darker shadow than in step 2, a medium taupe shade always works well.
