Today is about MAKE UP!  Yeah!  I used to be a cosmetologist and love to play with make up.  I have learned a few tricks and would like to share them.  I will also answer any question you have about you make up  routine.
We as bbws are beautiful, striking and sexy.  Make up is just a way to enhance that.  You can also change it up entirely depending on your mood.  I know there are those who don't really wear make up.  I would just say, give it a try!  Make it a fun time with color.  You would be surprised how much better you can look with just some mascara and  lip gloss
SHOW THE WORLD YOU ARE CONFIDENT IN YOUR SKIN!
Here are the basic steps if you would like to try a full made over face.

  1. prep skin by washing and moisturizing
  2. apply a thin layer of foundation ( pick a color and type that matched your skin tone and type of skin you have, oily, dry, sensitive...)
  3. Apply concealer only in the dark shadowy areas (under eye, around nose etc)  Pick only one shade lighter and BLEND!
  4. Use a non-talc powder to set make- up, even under eyes
  5. Optional CONTOURING Follow instructions on video
  6. Brows should be defined by pencil or shadow.  Use a universal color like taupe unless you are very dark or very blonde (toe head)
  7. Find a good neutral lip liner.  Line lips to proportion (on video)  color in, and dust with powder
  8. pick a light flattering color that compliments your skin tone.  No heavy reds, or purples (unless your 20!)  Just makes us look older,  Use gloss!
  9. Have fun with eye shawdow!  Here is where you can really play!  Just remember dark colors make your eyes recede and lighter colors bring your eyes forward.  So, deep set yes look great with lighter colors etc.
  10. Black mascara is always in!  Here's a tip...Use an eyelash curler for 60 seconds!!  That will really hold the curl. Then 2 layers of mascara.  
  11. You're done!
