Bobbi Brown Makeup Manual: For Everyone from Beginner to Pro

(Marcin) #1

Porcelain Beauty


Sunscreen helps keep skin looking young and beautiful.


Use porcelain-toned foundation to cover redness, dark circles, and blemishes.


Use white face powder.


Avoid using blush with brown undertones. Go for pastels—pale pink is awesome.


Tan bronzer always looks dirty on porcelain skin.


Eye makeup in cool tones works best for porcelain skin tones. Avoid any red-toned products, which can make you look tired.


Pastel lip colors complement very light skin tones.


Asian Beauty


Use yellow-toned foundation. Though skin tones vary, all have yellow undertones.


Fill in sparse brows with an eye shadow powder in dark brown. Avoid using black or charcoal, even if the hair is black, because it will look too heavy.


Accentuate eyes with liner on the top only or the top and bottom. Use a stronger line on the top. Make sure it shows when the eyes are open.


Layer shadows to define the eyes. Don’t make the mistake of using a very dark shadow to draw in a crease.


A pop of bright coral or pink blush on the apples of the cheeks look fresh and pretty.


Middle Eastern Beauty


Use a corrector to brighten very dark under-eye circles.


Sometimes you have to layer a few correctors (pink over peach), and then add concealer.


Find a yellow-toned foundation that exactly matches the skin. The right foundation often has a bit of orange as well.


Line the eyes with black liner or a charcoal shadow. Never go lighter than mahogany.


Use blush in deep rose and pink shades. Don’t be afraid to find your pop of color.
