Do you remember using sequins when you were 6 years on your arts and crafts? Never did I think I would be using them in a makeup look. The beauty apart about a Fashion look is you can be as diverse and different as you want. Taking chances and risks is exactly what Fashion is about and its the exactly the same for makeup. Lets face it, this isn't an everyday look and most wouldn't do this makeup look at all. I know I wouldn't go out like this, unless it was a fancy dress; but who are we to define whether it can be worn off the runways? I say if you've got the guts, why not? Those eyebrows were made for me, but the secret is crazy glue and lots of sequins, left to try overnight. Step 2: Apply foundation; here I used the Sheer Glow foundation by Nars Cosmetics in 'Punjab.' Which I apply with a flat foundation brush. I then took a stipling foundation brush and buffed it into her skin in circular motions; to create this smooth, airbrushed effect. Step 3: Take your powder (If desired) to keep in place. I used the invisible powder by MAC Cosmetics. Step 4: Choose a Contour and Blush shades. Find your cheek bones. To do this, take your finger from where your earhole and feel it to your cheeks. This is how to find your cheek bones. With a blush of your choosing; take the product and add it on the apples of your cheeks, slightly moving into the contour. Step 5: Choose three shades of the same colour- from light to dark. In the inner corner apply the lights colour, in the middle the second lights and in the outer corner the darkest shade. Blend, with a blending brush as you go along; blending up into the crease line and just above. Step 6: Then to highlight, take a pearl colour onto the tear duct; blending into the first shade. Step 7: Take your sequin eyebrows and cut into the shape of your own eyebrows, changing the thickness if you wish. Take some vaseline or eight hour cream and put it directly onto your eyebrows. Make sure there is no vaseline above and below the brows. Take little amounts of eyelash glue and put it on the top and bottom of the sequin brows. Make sure, the middle part is glue free. Then simply glue them onto of your brows! Step 8: Final step is the lippie! I used MAC Cosmetics lip liner in 'Spice' with a cheap clear lip gloss on top.
