Try Artdeco Blusher #49 beige rose
Eye Shadow: Apply and eyeshadow base or dust eyelids with translucent powder to absorb excess oil and make blending of your eyeshadow easier.
Try Artdeco Eyeshadow Base
Blend a matte eye shadow in a vanilla or cream tone from your lash line to your brow.
Press a pearl version of that same color just under the arch of your brow. This catches the light and makes your brow arch seem slightly higher. Never shade the entire brow bone with a shimmer eyeshadow as you will create a puffy eye effect. Press a small amount of the same colour across the middle section of the mobile lid to pick up the light and make the eyes pop.
Blend a beige/bisque/taupe toned eye shadow across the crease and then blend a medium slate grey matte eye shadow in the outer crease of your lid, and softly blending as you shade towards the inner corner. Brush a thin line of the grey shadow under your bottom lashes for some definition and use a white kajal on the water line to make the eyes look bigger & brighter.
Try Ardeco Eye Shadow #554 Matt vanilla, #19 Nougat Cream, # 514 Matt Light Grey Beige
Brows: Using an angled brow brush, trace the shadow along the inner edge of the top of your brow and create a defined arch using a brow powder in the same colour as your eyebrows. Then, use the flat side of the brush to fill in the rest of your brow.
Try Artdeco Brow Powder in Dark and Stencils
Eye liner: Practice makes perfect! Using a fine eyeliner brush, tilt the brush so you’re using the side as opposed to the point and, starting from your lid’s inner corner right at the tear duct, draw along your lash line all the way to the outer corner. When you reach the pupil, gradually thicken the line, then when you reach the end of your lash line angle upwards and flick the brush slightly past the outer corner. Go back over the line a few times and really work the black into the lash line for a smooth finish and creating intensity at the lashline. An excellent technique to use if you don't have a steady hand is to apply a small piece of sticky tape angled from the outer corner of the eye to the edge of your brow and press flat against the skin. ( Use the same angle as though you were using an eyeshadow marker). Apply your liner and when you remove the tape you will have a perfectly straight, fine flick.

Lashes: Curl the lashes with a pair of eyelash curlers to further enhance and open up the eyes. Apply a fine coat of mascara to the bottom lashes and let dry. Coat the top lashes with 2 coats of a full lash effect mascara for volume, length and curl. This creates beautiful, fan-like lashes. Apply a full strip or 3/4 false lashes to the outer corners of the eye.

Lips: Prepare the lips and use a lip base to neutralize the colour and create a smooth even surface. Seal the lip line and correct any uneven shape with a lip corrector. Highlight the cupids bow. Then, choose a classic, fire-engine red lipstick and sweep it across the centre of the lip towards the outer corner.
Artdeco Red Carpet Lips # 420 'femme fatale' is a perfect choice! Using the side of your lip brush create a precise line and finish along your lip line.

Covering All Bases
Achieving the perfect base is the key to a flawless makeup. Remember a good quality primer will have helped smooth out tiny imperfections in your skin such as fine lines and open pores so that your foundation will now glide on and give you a longer lasting finish.
If the skins natural oils interact with your foundation during the day you can find your base gets darker looking. The barrier created by the primer helps ensure that your foundation stays colour true all day long.
We wear a foundation to even out skin tone and hiding imperfections. Used correctly they will also warm up the complexion and add depth to the face.
The trick is to enhance your complexion not cover it. Foundation should feel lightweight and not heavy and caked onto the skin otherwise it will appear mask like and ageing.
The type of foundations you can use include - liquid, cream, compact, stick or mineral and all depends on personal taste, however the wrong one for your skin type can change the entire look of your makeup.
There are several things to take into consideration when choosing your foundation:
What type of skin do you have?
Keep it simple & choose either Normal/Dry or Normal/Oily or Combination
What texture do you prefer?
How do you want your foundation to to look and feel?
Choosing the correct colour to match your skin tone
In general the rule is that a warm skin tones suits a yellow based shade while cool tones suit pink based. The easiest way to find the right foundation for you skin is by looking at the colour of skin across your decolletage. Your face and body should always match. Sometimes this means using a foundation 2-3 shades darker than your face.
The shade that blends with your skin tone across your chest/collarbones is the right one to achieve a natural, healthy glow to the skin. The skin tone around the neck and under the jawline is always lighter than your face and decolletage and matching your foundation to your jawline will result in an unnatural colour match up making your face appear lighter.
If your face and decolletage match up in tone then simply choose a colour that blends into your skin tone by applying several different shades across the cheek area, the perfect shade will merge with your skin without needing too much blending.
ARTDECO Tutorial
(1) The easiest way to find the right foundation for your skin is by trying three shades that are similar to your skin tone together on your cheek. The shade that blends with your skin is the right one.
For perfect results, apply your liquid foundation with the Make-up brush. Pour a little of your chosen foundation onto the back of your hand. Gently dip the tip of the brush in the foundation and start to apply in a gentle circling movement, working from the cheek area up to the facial contours.
To help it last a little longer, finish with Compact or Loose Powder. Take up the pigments with the brush and set your foundation, working gently from the top down.

Foundation overview
Liquid for Sensitive, Dry & dehydrated skin for a sheer and minimal coverage. Ideal for a clear, blemish free skin. Can be water and oil based.
Cream for Normal, Dry & Sensitive skin for buildable coverage medium to strong.
Cream to powder for Normal, Oily and Combination Skin for buildable coverage light to strong.
Compact powder for Normal, Combination & Oily skin for buildable coverage medium to strong.
Powder based mineral foundations for velvety finish on all skin types.
Foundation textures
Sheer - Minimal coverage. A tinted moisturizer is great for a normal or oliy skin. Tap or press rather than rubbing the product in or it will disappear into the skin.
Soft/Dewy/Creamy - Light to medium coverage. Creamy foundation provides maximum coverage on a drier skin.
Luminous - Creamy with higher shine from shimmery pigment, they are a great way to brighten dull looking skin as they reflect light, which will diminish any imperfections. Best suited to a dry or dehydrated skin as they are moisturizing. A very popular look these days and on the catwalk.
Velvety - Semi matt powder finish with a velvety sheen.
Heavy - Can be both creamy or matte. A creamy stick will conceal blemishes and redness around the nose.
Matt - Skin has no shine and is quite powdered. Can look flat and cakey on the wrong skin type.
Different formulations are best suited to different skin types.
Normal skin can use any formula, to even out skin tone and create a smooth base for a barely there coverage.
Combination skin usually has a slightly oilier t-zone and normal skin everywhere else. A cream to powder formulation works best as it is lightweight and long wearing that combines the great coverage of a liquid with the shine controlling benefits of a powder. The other option would be a liquid formulation combined with a finishing powder for managing a shiny t-zone with out a mask like finish.
Dry skin needs a glow so use a moisturizing liquid or cream foundation that is hydrating and moisture binding. These formulations give your skin a satin feeling with the moisturizing foundation and replenish dehydrated skins, they often calm redness and inflammation and protect skin cells and tissue from environmental damage. Your skin is left with a healthy dewy glow providing a medium to high buildable coverage. Avoid powder formulations as they can make the skin look flaky and age the skin.
Mature skin is often dehydrated and can appear dull looking and requires a velvety, light reflective cream foundation to smooth the complexion and reflect light to make tired skin look fresh and vibrant again. These formulations often contain vitamin E, hylaronic acid and other antioxidants which give moisture and plump the skin from underneath for a medium to high buildable coverage.
Oliy skin needs an oil free, lightly mattifying, long wearing formula to achieve a luminous but shine free complexion. Choose a water based formulation that is non comedogenic (doesn't clog your pores and cause blemishes). An oil free liquid or powder formulation will look the most natural for a medium coverage and keep skin looking fresh all day.
Blemish prone skin should be evened out with a sheer formulation. A thick foundation will only highlight the blemishes and make them worse. If your skin is prone to break outs it's best to use oil free products. Mineral formulations work extremely well for natural coverage with a lightweight feel and will not clog the skin.
Mineral Magic - All skin types can use the Mineral foundation formulations, even the most sensitive as they won't irritate allergy prone skin and will visibly improve the quality of your skin and provides great coverage. More than a trend Mineral makeup is here to stay with most companies expanding into a full mineral range.
Mineral formulations are Talc, Oil, Fragrance and Preservative free with natural SPF'S that not only look natural but feel weightless on the skin. Natural minerals in the formulations can calm redness, protect skin tissue and maintain moisture levels as well as control oiliness. Mineral formulations provide a silky, light reflective, soft focus finish giving skin a luminous glow. Mineral Foundations are now available as a loose powder, compact powder and liquid formulation. Powder formulations will give you that velvety, matte finish and the liquid a more luminous dewy finish.
To add luminosity to your skin use a foundation with shimmer particles which give a soft focus effect, reflects light to make tired skin look fresh and vibrant or add a shimmery cream, soft gold or deep bronze luminizer liquid to your base for an all over glow. The colour chosen should be the same as your skin tone or a few shades lighter.

For perfect results, apply liquid and cream foundations with a foundation brush.
Pour a little product onto the back of your clean, sanitized hand or mixing palette.
Using the tip of the brush dip into the foundation and start to apply from the nose and cheek area up to the facial contours.
Always start at the centre of the face, since that is where we usually need more coverage, and blend outwards and downwards towards the chin. Use a brush to apply full coverage foundation (half to a shade lighter under the eyes and t-zone and a fine sweep above the jaw line).
Foundation should blend out to a seamless finish along the hairline. Blend well across the forehead and under the jawline.
Wipe excess product from the brush and lightly buff the face with the foundation brush to smooth the colour.
Dust a loose powder over the top. The fine, matte texture will keep skin looking sheer but polished.
You can sweep a mineral powder in a slightly warmer or deeper shade than your skin tone on your temples, cheekbones and chin. This created extra dimension and additional texture.
Buff your entire face with a large powder brush.
Some formulations like cream to powder or compact powder formulations can be applied with sponges. Latex sponges are disposable, and therefore ideal for even and hygienic application. Be aware sponges do absorb a lot of product and can be expensive. Invest in a suitable foundation brush.
If your foundation contains a high level of SPF be aware to not use this product too close to the eye area as it may irritate the sensitive eye area and cause watering and a stinging sensation. If you require further coverage around the eye area use the correct concealing product and disguise any imperfections. Foundations containing high SPF's are not ideal for wedding/photographic makeup as they can make the face appear paler than they are.
Never buy a foundation without checking it first in the daylight. Natural daylight is the best for applying makeup to check for mistakes, hard lines and creating perfectly blended results.

To achieve the optimum, shine free finish and ensure longevity, apply a loose powder with a professional powder brush for a fine daytime layering or use a powder puff or makeup round to press and roll for a more intense and long lasting matt finish, ideal for an oilier skin type. Lightly dust the powder down the face.
Pressed and loose powders are essentially the same, pressed powder is simply loose powder compressed into a compact. Loose powder will last longer and gives you more coverage because it's fluffier and adheres more easily to the brush or powder brush. Pressed powder is ideal for touching up during the day.

Prime time to last the distance
Your skincare regime should include gentle cleansing of the skin, moisturizing, exfoliating and replenishing once a week to refine and re balance the skin.
Always take the professional recommendation of a beauty therapist to maintain your skin with the most suitable products for your skin type. Your morning routine should always include applying SPF to your face, neck and decolletage. The latest sunscreen products for the face hydrate like a moisturizer without leaving a greasy residue making them ideal for wearing underneath your makeup.
Before applying any makeup cleanse the skin to remove any traces of excess oils. Non alcoholic, non perfumed baby wipes are ideal for a quick removal of oil and they leave no residue on your skin so you can apply your makeup straight over the top.
When it comes to getting the most from your makeup you should always prep the skin with a primer or make up base. It will create the perfect skin surface as it creates a silky smooth base ready for foundation.
Benefits
Primer should glide on easily due to it's silicone and glycerine content and smooth skin by buffering over open pores and controlling shine by absorbing excess oil.
A light reflective, balancing makeup base provides an even and luminous complexion. Gentle shimmering pigments conceal unevenness of skin and imperfections like fine lines and wrinkles making it look fresher and allows foundation and powders to adhere to, so your base is longer lasting. Primer also reduces the amount of foundation needed.
Application
Primer can be used on a freshly cleaned skin or after using skincare. If your primer contains sun filters and anti aging ingredients and hydrates the skin you can opt to pass on the other moisturizer and SPF products. Ideally use one product under your foundation so that your foundation disappears into your skin not sits on top of it. Apply down the t-zone and blend out across cheeks towards hairline with a foundation or primer brush.
Primer along the t-zone works to balance extra oiliness and control shine whilst lightly hydrating other areas of the face. If you have an oily skin look for an oil free primer. If you have a drier skin type and use a rich cream foundation and have trouble blending the product you can mix equal parts of the primer and foundation together and create a slightly sheer finish.

Always take the professional recommendation of a beauty therapist to maintain your skin with the most suitable products for your skin type. Your morning routine should always include applying SPF to your face, neck and decolletage. The latest sunscreen products for the face hydrate like a moisturizer without leaving a greasy residue making them ideal for wearing underneath your makeup.
Before applying any makeup cleanse the skin to remove any traces of excess oils. Non alcoholic, non perfumed baby wipes are ideal for a quick removal of oil and they leave no residue on your skin so you can apply your makeup straight over the top.
When it comes to getting the most from your makeup you should always prep the skin with a primer or make up base. It will create the perfect skin surface as it creates a silky smooth base ready for foundation.
Benefits
Primer should glide on easily due to it's silicone and glycerine content and smooth skin by buffering over open pores and controlling shine by absorbing excess oil.
A light reflective, balancing makeup base provides an even and luminous complexion. Gentle shimmering pigments conceal unevenness of skin and imperfections like fine lines and wrinkles making it look fresher and allows foundation and powders to adhere to, so your base is longer lasting. Primer also reduces the amount of foundation needed.
Application
Primer can be used on a freshly cleaned skin or after using skincare. If your primer contains sun filters and anti aging ingredients and hydrates the skin you can opt to pass on the other moisturizer and SPF products.
