Cover Girl Tips for Makeup

Lisa Sims: Hi I'm Lisa Sims from Sim Minerals and you’re watching
WatchMojo.com. And we’re here with the lovely Joanie from
Specs Models. How you doing?

Joanie: I'm doing great Lisa, how are you?

Lisa Sims: Fabulous. So today we’re going to just talk about faking it—fake
boobs, fake lips, contact lenses, teeth whitening or getting them
cap, curly hairs, straight hair; there’s all sorts of ways that we can
fake our look this days.

So today we’re going to talk about how we can fake fuller lips,
hide your cheekbones, fuller brows, and lots of lashes. Sounds
good?

Joanie: Great.

Lisa Sims: Alright, let’s go.

Put something that has a really thin lip, they can start with a little
bit of pencil. Usually going like a little half-shape, darker than
your normal, always start with the lips together, and we’re just
going to make the line a little bit wider but it’s not overly defined.

Now we’re going to do a technique which is a lot like—let’s say if
you’re like doing drawing of like, a sphere. And the light hits the
sphere, there’s always the highlight and then there’s the shadow.
But the lip liner, acts like a shadow, making it look more bulbous
and then we’ll put a little bit of highlight in the middle of the lip.
So it attracts more light and it pops out a little bit more.

So we’ll take something that has a little bit of shimmer in it and
just apply it to the center of the lip and blend it into the lip line. So
it does give that look of fuller lips.

Fake the cheekbones. So how do we do this? We’re going to
contour underneath in the hollow, and we’re going to highlight the
tops of the cheekbones; so again, the more highlighted area is
going to pop-out and the darker color is going to look more
recessed—more chiseled.

So what I'm going to take is just a little bit of Tony—it’s a bronzer.
I'm using an angled brush. Let’s start at the ear and slowly work
towards the middle of the face. We’re gong to stop it right at the
corner of the eye. Then we can switch over to the highlights. So
basically tops of the cheekbone and we can just extend all the way
up to the temple.

So I'm going back to the same product now. We have Tony which
was the bronzer and we’re going to use a brush that’s called a
contour brush. We’re going to fake a straighter more aqua line
nose. All we start up in the brow and then shade all the way down
until you get to the tip. Sometimes we want to like just put a little
bit on the end just to stop the line if the nose is too long. And then
we just go back to the highlight again and just pass it on the bridge
of the top of the nose. And that’s how we get that really nice
straight nose.

So Joanie has really pretty eyebrows but you could always use a
little bit of filling it; so we’re going to go into a medium brown
shade and really I think the most important thing for most people is
to extenuate the arch of the brow. When we bring out the arch,
automatically it makes the brow look more finished and polished.
And then there’s the tale of the brow.

The next one is like really one of my favorites. This is kind of like
my motivation for why I got into make-up—it’s a crease, I don’t
have one. I used to look in magazines and be like “How come she
got a crease and I’ve got no crease?”

So what we’re going to do is that we’re going t actually put light in
the middle of the lid, okay; behind the lashes and then in the crease
which looks like the little banana thing right over here at the more
recessed area.

We’d go with the darker shade, and that’s how we’re going to like
build up the crease. I going to just take a light based shade, fill in
the whole lower lid with the lighter shade; take the same color, lift
up the arch and just pop underneath the arch of the brow. We’ll
take a little bit of the candle light and we’ll take a little bit of bark,
apply it to the corners. Do it with your eyes open; it kind of works
for me. It makes it a lot easier to feel where your crease is.

And just to give the eyes a real dramatic punch to it, and just to
make everything extra-shimmery, take a little bit of shimmer
powder—we’re going to use this small sable brush—very flat, and
we’re just going to apply it right to the middle of the lip.

Next stop—how to fake lashes—thick, luscious lashes. I don’t
know if you’ve seen some of those eyelash commercials—it is not
real.

Queen Latifa doesn’t have eyelashes like that, I'm telling you right
now. The tip of it is going to go into the glue; we’re going to hold
with the tweezers when you’re looking down, and we’re going to
start in the outer corner, and we really want to patch it as close to
the lash line as possible. So I’d say three or four we’re going to
apply on each side and then what I would recommend is just
trimming a couple of them—half the length. So as we get towards
the middle of the eye, that there’s a natural gradations, you know.
It should be long and flirty on the outside, you know, back to
business in the middle.

And I'm not going to cut straight across, because if I do that, it’s
just going to be all one length. So I'm going to like cut it on a
diagonal.

So we finished with lashes. We’ve really integrated them really
well and the base of your lashes—that they integrate; they’re not
just sticking out all over the place. But if you find that it’s too little
overt, what we can always do is go back into his shadow; lightly
press along the lash line; aim for the roots of the lashes and that’s
like the way that you’re going to have the most natural looking line
going on; and it would just conceal the fake lashes that are there.

Alright, Joanie thank you very much for being such a lovely
model. I know that your hair is normally straight but you know,
you went curly for the day, like we always want what we don’t
have. It’s always like the grass is greener on the other side.

Joanie: Absolutely Lisa.

Lisa Sim: Yeah. So this is about faking it that I think your boyfriend won't
really mind.

Joanie: Yeah of course I'm all about enhancing it but it’s staying natural.
So while we’re out at least—just mind holding this for me.

Lisa Sim: That’s excellent. You’re going all natural, I love it.
