From L.A. to Paris, makeup artist Jake Bailey knows runway fashion — and now he's sharing his smarts. Find out how to get the fall looks that are creating industry buzz.
For an intense eye look, apply a jet black liner, such as
MAXeye Liner in Night Club
on the upper and lower lash lines, working the product in between each individual lash to fully accentuate the
distinction between the blackness of eye lashes and the whiteness of the eyes. Delicately smudge the liner outward
with fingers to reveal the feline quality of the eyes. Finish with three coats of Lash Perfection Volume Couture Mascara
Sweep the inside of the cheekbones with
ColorGenius Mineral Blush
in Spices using a contouring brush to give the face dimension.
To create a sexy pout, try dabbing
MAXalicious Lip Glaze
in a neutral shade, such as Champagne Bath in the center of the mouth, right below the cupid’s bow, to
increase the appearance of plumpness.
After applying your base, custom blend your blushes and don’t forget to contour! Mix all three shades of
ColorGenius Mineral Blush
in Spices together with a blush brush and sweep onto the apples of the cheeks and all the way back toward the
hairline to noticeably warm up skin tone. Next, apply ColorGenius Mineral Blush
in the medium shade of the Peaches compact with a countering brush to the inside of cheekbones to create a dramatic
contour. A glowing face is desirable not a shiny one, so don’t forget to powder! Try a translucent powder,
such as ColorGenius Mineral Pressed Powder
and apply all over the face as needed, to eliminate any unwanted shininess.
Brush and blend a touch of ColorGenius Mineral Bronzer
in Sunset where the light naturally hits the face, such as the top of the cheekbones and the button of the
nose to create a subtle shimmer and reflect the light.
Start by lining the upper and lower lash lines with MAXeye Liner
in Night Club. Dot the eyeliner in the inner lash lines to create high impact and high drama. Use your finger to
smudge the liner on the upper and lower lash lines to create a smoldering effect. Don’t worry about smudging
the liner too much; a little bit of “messiness” creates a sexier eye.
To create bedroom eyes with a hint of color, apply the brown side of Vivid Impact Eyeshadow Duo
in Two Cents all over the eyes, from the lash line to the brow bone. Immediately after, blend the lilac end of
Vivid Impact Eyeshadow Duo
in Sultry Sage around the tear duct and smudge a fine line under the lower lash line. Finish with three coats of
Lash Perfection Volume Couture Mascara
in Rich Black.
To complement the dramatic eyes, keep the face simple in comparison. Use the Blush Brush
to sweep the ColorGenius Mineral Bronzer
in Sun Kissed on cheeks and on the tip of the nose for a bit of light-catching shimmer that will create a slimming
effect on the face.
Finally, glide MAXalicious Lip Glaze
in Weekend Getaway over the lips for perfect pout.
Every face needs perfect eyebrows to sculpt the face. Fill in eyebrows with a powder shadow that matches
your brows. If you have light eyebrows, try applying MAXeye Shadows
in Cocoa Crazy or Connoisseur with a small brush to fill in and define brows. Keep brows in place and add a touch
of color by applying the highlighting top coat of Vivid Impact Highlighting Mascara
in 24 Karat Brown.
Let your eyes speak for themselves by blending a flesh-colored shadow such as the peach end of
Vivid Impact Eyeshadow Duo
in Peach Basket, all over the lid up to the brow bone with a shadow brush. Finish by applying four coats of the base
coat of Vivid Impact Highlighting Mascara
in 24 Karat Brown.
Create a glowing hue with a mix of the three shades of ColorGenius Mineral Blush
in Peaches. Use a blush brush to apply the blush over the apples of the cheeks, sweeping onto the apples of the
cheeks and all the way back toward the hairline. Add a touch of the blush over the bridge of the nose, as well as
over the décolletage to create a soft, luminous glow.
Try MAXalicious Lip Glaze
in Secret Rendezvous for a sheer, berry-hued lip color that is universally flattering.
