MAKE-UP artist Antoinette Bailey takes us on a Carnival Road March; first things first, though, we’ve got to get ready for de road…

STEP

1 Cleanse entire face with make-up remover or make-up wipes.

2 Shape and fill brows.

TIP: For Carnival, a waterproof, cream- based brow filler is best.

3 Prime the eyes with eyeshadow primer. We used the NYX jumbo pencil in white.

TIP: A white-cream primer is best to show pure colour.

4 Choose the eyeshadow colours you’ll be using, then apply to your eyes.

TIP: If using loose shadows, apply eye make-up first to avoid under eye clean-up.

5 Apply eyeliner on the eyelid (preferably liquid) then apply lashes.

TIP: Always apply top liner first! This hides any uneven lash application and makes lashes appear full.

6 Apply glitter (cosmetic grade) eyeshadow at the temple, above the brows, using glitter glue. Apply the glitter glue first, Wait for a few seconds, then apply glitter with finger.

TIP: Using a finger to apply glitter allows better control of placement.

7 Time for some bling! In your desired shape or form, place rhinestone glue first, give it a couple seconds to dry, then apply rhinestones.

TIP: A wax pencil or flat head tweezer works best for rhinestone application, especially if the rhinestones are small.

8 Apply concealer under eyes if needed then lightly apply foundation to the face, working around the eye, and set with a powder.

TIP: Skip applying product and foundation where glitter and gems etc will be applied. For glitter and gems to adhere properly, it’s best to have the skin clean, dry and product free.

9 Apply eyeliner in preferred colour to the bottom water line and under lash line, smudging with a smudge brush. Set with matching colour eyeshadow.

TIP: A soft khol liner is excellent for a spot-on line.

10 Apply mascara and blush then your favourite lip colour.

TIP: A waterproof mascara is the way to go.

NB: For Road March Day, it’s best to use waterproof products and less foundation. Finish entire look with a final spray of make-up sealer. Blue Selr Make-up Sealer is best and will keep make-up intact through the heat, sweat and rain.
